Cold Lazarus (106)

[HirogenGater]

You said it. I can't watch this one without dissolving into tears the moment 'Charlie' touches Jack.

I don't go as far as that, but the episode definitely hits a soft spot.

i liked this episode because i learnt a bit about jack's past as i hadn't yet watched stargate the movie until after this episode.

Lot's of the stuff shown in this mission was never shown before. (Even in the movie)

I thought this was kinda sad. I liked the idea of looking at what happened to Jack in his life prior to SG1 but it still was sad coz he had to face it all again and so did Sara. This was predominately a Jack O'Niell ep which doesn't appeal to me as much as team eps do. Still...I did like it.

[captain jake]

I realy didn't like this episode haha.

[Commander Ivanova]

It was nice to have Jack's backstory filled in, even if it was sad. But the crystalline alien bit was nonsense.

[captain jake]

Yes it was quite strange I agree.

I loved this episode. I enjoyed finding more about Jack and his ex-wife and seeing how he began to heal. Imitation Charlie showed him that his son was always with him.

And Jack had such chemistry with Sarah! I wouldn't have minded TPTB getting him back together like Dean Devlin and Ronald Emmerich intended.

And after reading the novel - written by DD and RE - and watchign the film it helped fill in the gaps and explore Jack's character.

A lot of things are/were shown that were never shown before or since (even in the film) in SG-1 all Seasons. The character of Carter is a prime example.

Ship is another.

The Tok'ra suddenly appearing another. The existence of the Goa'uld actually (Ra wasn't a Goa'uld in the film or novel!)

[captain jake]

His voice would prove other wise.

And I don't even see what that has to do with my post. For I was refering to charlie.

[luthienberen]

Charlie? He was never mentioned before? In the film Jack mentioned losing his son, not by name though ...

Sorry for the misunderstanding...

[Sheppard]

as people have said this episode was all about jacks past it was a bit boring but i still watched it

[deadmanjeff]

this is one of the episodes that reminds me why season one is my fave season this episode is so crazy and its a year one episode other shows would do something like this in a later season but stargate does these kind of episodes right off the bat

I love sg-1 and almost every episiode but this one i can't stand, no particular reason i just hate it.

[1DanielForMe]

That is so odd to me. I absolutely love "Cold Lazarus". In fact, it is my fifth favourite episode. It's so touching. I can't help crying every time I see the scene where the crystal alien takes the form of Charlie, even though that's happy, as well, because Jack has closure. I also think the music in this episode is amazing. It's possibly my second favourite (after the music from "The Torment of Tantalus")

ok me a nerd or a wus. But I was just moved by a scifi show. As a parent this one really got to me. Wow the wrighting was good for this one. It really stood out to me for what i have seen so far. Wonder if there will be more like these. Yup i'm a wus. I'm still moved.

[Harlan's Speechwriter]

As Jack so often seems to play the clown, it was good to see something of his past and what deep pain he has really been living with. This episode helps to understand Jack's reactions to things in later episodes.

[Theimmortaljedi]

wonder if we will see his wife again?

Just rewatching this episode for the first time in over a year. It's kind of hard to watch. It about makes me cry. But at the same time, it kind of makes me feel like Jack got some of the closure he never got before. His relationship with Sarah also got some of the closure it never did. Its sad but in a way it seems like it helped. Maybe the crystaline life form actually was able to help O'Neill heal his wound. *sniffles*
