I think this was a case of "wouldn't it be funny if...."
Later, when they decided the stones were a great idea, they ignored how they'd worked in this episode because that didn't fit with the new idea.

Originally posted by Brother Freyr View PostI reconciled the difference by telling myself that, well, a pair of initialized stones can revert to a kind of local-area communication, in the absence of a communication device (the device with receptacles for the stones). Joe and Jack's poorly guided visions were a consequence of not knowing how to properly use the stones for intentional, nearby communication. My explanation doesn't survive scrutiny -- for example, O'Neill didn't touch his stone; it was stored in the room above his office -- but I'm sticking to it because it feels good.CARPE DIEM

I find it unbelievable that Jack would never mention he was having those glimpses of Joe's life for 7 years. Moreover, wouldn't he also have to see the parts where Joe writes those SG-1 stories and becomes obsessed, and how it destroys his life and marriage? This would also be a huge security issue ...

If all clip shows were anything like Citizen Joe, I would love them all, but alas they are not and thus I'm not a fan of clip shows in general.
Citizen Joe is a story wrapped around a clip show and it's brilliant. It goes back to the beginning and all the way up to the end, and all the while we see what it does to Joe Spencer the Barber.
From the start where it's a story to tell and entertain his kid and customers, to the point where it consumes his life and he looses everything to his obsession.
It has a lot of fun moments, like the Gordie referring to the Furlings as Ewoks, or Joe and Jack agreeing that Burns would definitely be a Goa'uld.
I think this is basically the best episode of season 8 so far.
Can't remember Moebius so maybe that's about to take first place here but for now, this episode is definitely my favorite of the season.
How would you rate SG-1's "Citizen Joe"?
Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor

The episode title should have been Citizen Homer."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."
"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."

My favorite bit is actually the part where Jack points out that Joe's gun is fake while his own is real. After that, I found it fun the first time, but not rewatchable. And, as always, I hate dumb Jack.
