    LOL, you're thinking. Stop. Thinking.

    Can't disagree with what you wrote.

      The knowledge and maturity stuff I can't explain very good, but as I had noticed no meat present in their food, I'd think there's some kind of automatic farm... Maybe...

        Well, considering they only live for a hundred days each they can probably survive on fruit, bread, water and cake

          But these still need to come from somewhere, right?

              I had no trouble believing they could cultivate food, since I assumed plants matured more rapidly as well. To them all these things were normal, and their pace of learning fit with that normality. It's only our slower viewpoint that makes things seemed rushed.

              Not that I believe this is a well-thought out (by TPTB) episode from any angle.

                Yes, that would work, but they kept telling that Pelops gave to the Chosen 100 of blissful days and that they must rejoice every minute, hence I thought there could be some automatic garden or whatever. But, yeah, not a well thought out epi for sure...

                  Those were the days that not all gods were Egyptian-inspired. Anyway, a rather standard episode in which nothing much happens except for Jack getting married without knowing it, and we learn that some Goa'uld was fluent in nanotechnology. Daniel gets to deliver his second baby and shows us his translating skills. Carter and Fraiser play with nanobots (the computer disk made me giggle -- those were the days )... but beyond that a rather tame episode.

                    Not one of my favorite episode, but not a bad one. It is shame that we didn’t see Pelops later, or see other goa’uld use nanotechnology.

                      Downside of knowing the difference... most people don't even care.

                          The best part of it was O'Neill's aging, because RDA did a very convincing job of making the character seem 90+ years old at the end. He even sounded old.

                            No good episode for me but Daniel Jackson as midwife - good one.

                              When RDA was asked what his favourite episode was he talked about this episode at the 2008 Gatecon convention. He said he really enjoyed playing a "100 year old man" although the 4/5 hrs in makeup got a bit tiresome after five days. He said he remembered episodes by experiences rather than titles. I agree, it showed in his performance how much he enjoyed doing the old man O'Neill and he did a great job.

                                It's a real pity we never went back to see how the population did after the nanites got neutralized.
