          This episode is the first time we have a wizard of oz reference, right?
          Also, kind of cool that we start getting canon info ironed out because SG9 was on the planet for 4-5 weeks which would not have happened later on.

              I got the impression that not every team did the same type of missions. SG-1 was a front-line team, so they did short term exploratory missions. They had some teams that seemed to specialize in certain areas, ie. archaeology, and those teams might spend longer on a particular planet while they conducted a dig. Another team specialized in diplomacy, as I recall.

              SG-9 may have been a team that were tasked with longer term missions, potentially spending several weeks on a planet.

                Am I the only one that thought it strange that O’Neill gave two direct orders that were ignored and he just kinda shrugged it off?

                I could see how he might give his team the benefit of the doubt after they had been together for a long time, but they’ve just formed.

                I’m also wondering whether anyone knows if the ‘Special Forces gone rogue’ is a thing that has happened. Seems plausible, but I wonder if the writers may have been inspired by true events.

                  I think that's just a popular theme to use in a show that deals with military forces. It certainly makes for good story telling.

                    Sadly, it happens all the time, especially if the person on the receiving end is Daniel. No wonder he kept dying.

                      I can't remember who exactly ignored the orders, but if Daniel was one of them (which is quite possible), then there's not a lot Jack can do about it with Daniel being a civillian. He can't be court marshalled, so I guess he just has to deal with it.

                      Plus, I guess the fact that Daniel saved Jack's life on Abydos gives him a little leeway.

                        Sam ignored his orders when she went to try and reason with her former fiance, and she didn't get in trouble - as far as we know.

                          The better question here: when is Daniel actually following orders?

                            Very true. Not just from Jack or Hammond either (or well, anyone on Earth). I mean, he couldn't even follow them when he was ascended...

                              I imagine, rules and orders are more like guidelines to Daniel.

                              Like a Brit once told us, Flemish folks, the traffic rules here are more like guidelines than actual rules.

                                So, Daniel is a less drunken version of Jack Sparrow?
