Brief Candle (108)

[gateship15]

i agree but i wandered if at some time there genes were manipulated so that they aged at a certain rate and to make the change permanent where as jacks weren't so he aged faster and thus he changed back at the end

Probably because they were WAAY younger than Jack, and Jack was growing older faster than the others. Plus if the others de-aged they would all be dead.

Hopefully they don't return to the planet some day and find a bunch of baby skeletons lying everywhere.

I dunno. This isn't one of my favorite episodes. Probably because it was early on and I thought they would turn the Jack character (who I loved immediately) into another womanizing Kirk. I'm glad that didn't end up happening, but I still can't get over my overall dislike of this episode.

What I would like to know is, how did the people learn their language in 100 days? Were they all geniuses? If so, was that a side benefit of the Goa'uld progeria treatment?

[gateship15]

The Rosetta Stone?

Sorry, all jesting aside, I don't know the answer to this one.

[gateship15]

Very interesting episode, I enjoyed it.

There were a few thoughts I had about this episode.

1. Jack is one of my favorite characters, but it made me realize that he is not a character actor, his old man I agree was pretty funny, but I don't think it was supposed to be, at least not in the way that I found it funny, it kind of took me out of the show a bit.

2. I thought the transmitter being in the fallen horse was coincedental for two reasons. One, the townspeople I thought gave up their god too easily - if they have never even left the compound, why would they suddenly destroy their god's statue simply because an alien tells them otherwise? Second, the transmitter in the statue, I suppose that it is clever to put it in a place that they dare not destroy, but still, it is too convienent, more likely it would have been placed underground.

I also thought it was out of character for Jack to run off and have a one night stand in front of full view of his friends. It was at first implied that he had been drugged, but it was a marriage cake and the nanites caused sleep, so that means that the cake had nothing to do with it, right?

I enjoyed the episode, just a few things like that, it was an early episode too, but still, he has a crush on Carter for 7 seasons but doesn't mind running off with a girl who gives him cake?

[gateship15]

it is possible that the cake also had something in it that would dug him to do that so i don't know as for the rest i kind of agree to but i never thought of it like that

[shinysign]

He was acting rather strange immediately after eating the cake, and practically ignoring his team. I am going to assume that the cake had something in it, though unrelated to the aging thing. I think that makes the most sense.

However, putting something like that in a marriage cake seems unlikely, though certainly more possible than him going off with her after talking with her for about fifty seconds.

I don't mean to 'diss' the episode, I enjoyed it, I just thought that bit was odd.

the marriage cake did drug him, when he woke up he was like err what just happened. like he didn't remember anything, which to me sounds like being drugged.

[leiasky]

Yeah, I think the cake was drugged as well, though I did have an issue with Jack's team letting him go off with this woman.
