Great episode and one of the first that dealt with the big push by the SGC to obtain new technology. You always knew RDA was gonna have a great time playing off RDA and it was to be expected. In some ways the tech level really wasn't all that great though. I remember losts of dark scenes and piping and large amounts of steam and tech. I think its more than likely that the original Altairans were like more of the refugees from the Pegasus who decided to try and concentrate on a non Asuran path to AI's.
Still the technology level just didn't seem as high here.

Pipes and Steam should the LEVEL of technology, not what the tech was. Look at it this way. Would you see such a corridor on Atlantis or the Asuran homeworld etc? I doubt it.
I think they simply went to a water treatment plant or similar place to film but you ARE right. It did make it look like the whole system was breaking down (however what it does not mention is why Harlan could not simply copy himself, so he could help himself). Harlan even states when he recreated Teal'c he would do it so Teal'c would be better and more like the original, he he must have their recordings stored somehow.

Comtraya!
If this episode was a drinking game and you had to drink whenever the word "better" was mentioned, you'd be stone-cold drunk by the end of act II (unless you can hold your liquor or you're teetotaller).
I don't think in any of my other viewings did I think Harlan to be quite the annoying character. This time around he really got on my nerves. I was glad the episide was over and done with cause I couldn't have stomached anything more of him.
The concept of the episode is pretty interesting. It's again a low-budget episode, since we've got some big ones coming. Everything taking place in this one location -- an awesome location too. The set designers did a magnificent job on lighting and dressing the place up.
So, Harlan has been alone for 11,000 years and he wants company. He creates SG-1 2.0 and expects them to just accept their new fate. Yeah, I don't think so.
I do love the psychological and philosophical subject of the episode. How would you feel if your consciousness had been transferred to a robot-copy of yourself, and you could live for a lot longer than human lifespans general can give you. However, you can never go back from where you came because you're linked to a powersource? And you never have the pleasantries of eating or drinking because you're a machine.
When Daniel tells Carter that he just realized he could be alive for thousands of years to come, I'm surprised he didn't started laughing hysterically cause is the human brain even capable of accepting such fate?
Truly fascinating concept....
How would you rate SG-1's "Tin Man?"
Excellent
Good
Fair
Poor
Terrible
While I like the idea of the episodes, the concept of consciousness being transferred into an everlasting body of sorts, is fascinating, I'm not too big of a fan of the episode as a whole. Too much better and comtraya.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I really hate Harlem. Its why I have never cared for this episode. His one sided mind and the thought that SG1 would like his improvements baffles the mind. I can understand wanting to preserve but don't pretend others will like what you did. I would have like more development on the robot bodies instead of the dead factories. The whole clone robot things was a shocker that came too late. This is a poor.
