Singularity (114)

[Dani347]

I think this was Sam's best episode, which is kind of sad (considering how early it was). However, this episode stands out as being the place where I can pinpoint where I fell in love with Daniel. When Sam says she knows she's supposed to be detached, and Daniel says, "Who says so?" Swoon! I know it was the difference of views between the military and civilian part of SG1, but I just love a man that isn't stereotypical macho man.

I liked the episode but I haven't seen it in a while.I don't have it on DVD I liked to see it again.Perhaps the following weeks I get the first season

[Lord Zedd]

yes I finally got the DVD and I have seen it today.Poor Cassie whole the planet died except her.Knowing what will happen later she was doing well.It was a big shock for her.

[Lord Zedd]

I loved the scene wherer Jack and Teal'c are talking about the black hole

Teal'c:I do not quite understand this black hole concept.
O'Neill:It is a hole out there in space where things get sucked in.
Teal'c:I see

[Elite Anubis Guard]

not my most favorite episode but i liked the development it did for sam!

[WraithWarrior]

I collect the DVD magazine and have only just watched this episode, but oh my god it is so good. Its also very sad and sam must have been very scared when the time for Cassandra to explode came. I think Sam would make a great mother and Jack must miss his son as you can tell when he gives Cassandra the dog at the end.

Did Dr Fraiser look hot or wot when she was in the black t-shirt on the planet? Jacks explanation of the black hole was also very err..good and Teal'c must have known exactly wot he was on about lol

It was nice to see Jack showing he wasn't ‘dumb’ with his slip of the tongue about astronomy in the first scene. His scene later, describing what a black hole is to Teal’c, was classic Jack and Teal’c. And it was nice to see the little break in Jack’s tough guy façade when he was trying to get a response out of Sam after the time when Cassie's device was supposed to have exploded. Yep Zats, he did call her 'Sam' here & in Solitudes, 4 eps later.

I also liked the two scenes between Daniel and Sam; good writing & acting.

After the way her entrance was written in CotG, it was nice to see Sam’s character developed more with a slightly softer touch.

I agree michelleb, it was nice to see the 'all for one, one for all' comraderie had developed so quickly.

The elevator dialogue--between Jack and Sam--was really good, I agree.


Have you noticed that everyone on the team is softer around the edges than they first seem? They all seem so tough, but a little digging enearths real emotion. They're very real that way.

Yep. Which I'm very glad for. While I could live with a great villain who is a more one-dimensional blankety-blank, it is alot easier for me (and probably other?) if the 'good guy' leads are more 3-dimensional and we learn more about what makes them tick and see them in situations where they're shown as more passionate and compassionate people.

[zats]

Which then leads to more storyline opportunities, branches coming therefrom, and therefore a better show!

Except for maybe Daniel. He doesn't put on that tough guy routine but its sweet when you see him kick butt like in WTSG and TSL.

I think this ep really gives Sam more charchter then any other eps in this season and think the other eps and other Sam revovled eps dont hold a stone to this one.

I agree with everything you said here - this was a great episode. I liked the look that Jack gave Daniel when he was surprised that Jack knew about astronomy.

This was a great character episode for sam. The writers really got this one right - when you compare it with emancipation, another main Sam-based season one episode, it's like a billion billion billion times better! There was some great acting from Amanda Tapping. The lift scene was amazing. I also really liked Daniel in this ep (well i always love Daniel!) because he was so sweet and thoughtful. And he put so much emotion into the line "Oh God," when Sam told them Cassie was awake.

I'm watching through season 1 dvds at the moment, and from about the 9th episode (Thor's hammer) they suddenly get much better. Each episode now seems to have emotion and character development. Up until then it had the Buffy season 1 syndrome of "Baddy of the week", but now they are more character focussed which i prefer. Perhaps the writers just got to know the characters better.

I like the Naquada/Potassium bomb thing and when Jack tries to explain Black holes to Teal'c

[zats]

...I also really liked Daniel in this ep (well i always love Daniel!) because he was so sweet and thoughtful. And he put so much emotion into the line "Oh God," when Sam told them Cassie was awake.

The "Oh, God" completely sold the scene. It's funny how two words can be the difference between a really crappy and a really emotional/believeable scene.

Daniel's the opposite. He's so completely sincere that you think you see everything--raw emotion, impetuous passion for one cause or another. Then circumstances go straight to chaotic hell and we find how much more is there--the one that kicks butt.
