Hathor (113)

[Anja]

I'm another person coming late to Stargate (up to Season 7 right now). Anyway, I think this episode has one of the funniest lines in all of Stargate.

Remember how Col. O'Neill had the 'womb' cut into him and then Sam and the others pull him out of the bathtub thing and put him in the sarcophagus to heal? Now they pull him out of the sarcophagus and he's appears fine but Sam asks to see his stomach. After she tells him he had a 'wound' there, he pulls his shirt aside so that she can look. So she's running her fingers over his stomach and says something like 'Amazing' (meaning how he's healed) but he looks down at her and says 'Crunches'.

I crack up every time I think of that scene...

Yes, that's great. Don't stop after Season 8!!!!

I remember seeing this episode for the first time and not enjoying it. I cant remember exactly why but I just didn't.

But looking back on it now. Sg-1 had a lot of Go'auld Villains and I actually didn't mind Hathor. She didn't come across as deadly as Nirrti in the independent Go'auld sense but the fact that she was a Queen and thus could produce more Go'auld Larvae was an awesome thing to really introduce here into the show.

[Anja]

I wouldn't judge that way - I think she is as deadly as Nirrti, just in another way.

[garhkal]

Heck more so, as she could take people's minds over with that damn dust..

[Falcon Horus]

The kiss of submission...

[Tyrathraxus]

What I loved about Hathor was also her pitched voice. It must be because the actress was South African and her voice seemed.. I don't know .. more regal.

Also I watch this episode and see Teryl Rothery.. and .. I just miss her, knowing what I know about what happens to her. She brought so much to a role which was barely there at the start. I wanted them to gout of their way to find her a Sarcophagus.. and then she could of possible had the side effects of that.

[P-90_177]

So... I'm reckoning that Hathor's host was willingly taken and they have a purely symbiotic relationship...

Two years later I'd completely forgotten I'd reached this hypothesis and thought of it again while rewatching the episode.

[Athenebelle]

I had the hypothesis that she was saying "we" for the same reason that you did. It does sound like it's a rarity in Goa'ulds, though not the Tok'Ra. We know she got in trouble with Ra and that was why she was buried in the Mayan ruins. As for the idea of cross-pollination of cultures, that's not unheard of in the SG world. It was Dr. Jackson's Doctoral thesis if memory serves correctly.

[Athenebelle]

I'm finally glad that Daniel got some recognition for his scientific theories. The one scientist in the beginning said how the only person that had ever thought of something like this is Daniel. I think this is one of the only times that anyone outside of the SGC comments on him being right.

I liked that too. I don't remember any other case of this, in the series. Even when Daniel's mentor is killed by Osiris, I didn't hear anything positive about his work. I'm more interested in the fact that the particular Mayan Archaeologist had even read Daniel's particular paper considering how just about everyone walked out on his lecture in the movie.

[Athenebelle]

yeah you're right

Based upon that page, it suggests that Vala's Goa'uld Qetesh is the same as Hathor. My guess is she is a daughter of Hathor and has her genetic memories. Which, in a way is both interesting that Daniel/Vala is a thing... and also explains his attitude toward her sexual behavior.

[Falcon Horus]

This is actually a very disgusting episode. I mean, Hathor says she's the mother of all Goa'ulds. Do you realize what that means?! She births the little critters -- that's one visual I will take into my night. Sweet dreams to all!

<-- this is so appropriate right now.

Nevertheless, another one of my favorite episodes of season 1, because it puts Doctor Fraiser out in the field or sorts. She does look slightly ridiculous in all that combat gear, but I love her interaction with Carter and Teal'c so much.

So, Hathor has been asleep in a Mayan temple. Gets up on the wrong side of the bed and arrives at the mountain, looking for the chapa'ai and Ra, not necessiraly in that order. Ra is dead, and the stargate is off limits. But the Queen of Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll has just the perfect plan to make it all hers -- and the boys go for a spin.

The women and Teal'c mount a daring plan to save the base but cunning Hathor has all the men under her spell and they do her bidding. Yes, Daniel was raped by an Egyptian goddess -- no need to spin it any other way.
Jack nearly became a Jaffa, and the beautiful sarcophagus is blown to smithereens -- whose idea was that? It was so well done -- I know, I know, they build more.

Also, Doctor Janet Fraiser has a dirty, dirty, dirty mind. And she sure stuck to the airman's lips far longer than was required, if you ask me -- or he stuck to hers.

How would you rate SG-1's "Hathor?"

Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor
Terrible

Excellent because it put Doctor Janet Fraiser front and center, in the middle of the action. It gave us fun character interaction, a good portion of action and adventure, also some topics like consent (Daniel and Jack gave none), and being the girl.

You know, I never even considered that when I first saw it. But it was when I saw it again that I started to think about it.

She was a cool doc. I did enjoy her scenes...too bad they killed her

I saw this episode as a boy going through his early teens...so I was not annoyed by this episode as I have heard others say...It actually left me wanting to see more of Hathor. Oh my young impressionable hormone flooded self.

Excellent for me too. Although that's because I was a teenage boy so it left a good impression. >.> Maybe it's more good than excellent if I had seen it at my current level of maturity. <.<

Jigsaw coming soon, but let's start with the quiz first... Go test your knowledge of the episodes of week 5: Bloodlines, Fire and Water & Hathor.

LOL!! I especially like the chuckling dog emoji.

Bringing forth Hathor's jigsaw, and so we're off for a new week with three new episodes.
