Season Six

Go To Episode

Unnatural Selection

That bit from the end of 'Menace' is still affecting, even as a preview clip
Thor doesn't joke
I like the idea of there being conventional wisdom and Jack wisdom
He needs someone dumb enough, he's just way too polite to say so
Super fringedwelling from Jack, "I have a theory why you lost the war..."
So just the one, simple favour then. Do you reckon the Asgard want fries with that?
Yeah, but you also thought your trap would work
Are they even beaming up the contents of the silly hat cupboard?
Somewhere down there Sgt Siler must be going nuts
Wow, he actually seems quite calm considering his supply cupboard's just been abducted
Hope the Asgard pinned a note to their chests when they beamed them down saying 'we are prisoners, don't let us go'
Hammond calls his grandkids on the Red Phone? He should have given them a ring though, at that age I'd have jumped at the chance to go into space and blow things up
Because it's cheesy, Jack, even in a non-Star Trek sense. Besides, why would he want to name his ship after a Navy vessel? How about calling it Eos, since ships are meant to be female
Prometheus is a great name for a prototype. It means 'forethought' so it might remind you to put some into the rest of the model line
Did they beam up a couple of lunch ladies as well to make sure Jack gets his cake ration?
Oh yes, Jonas and Teal'c having the best excuse in the world to go straight for the Ben&Jerry's
Nobody steals Teal'c's ice-cream
He spent all that time loading the gun and he's leaving it in the hold?
Jonas suffering from Rincewind's fear of grounds
The bugs ate everything up to and including the geography?
Why aren't they concerned that the Replicators will eat the ship? There's technobabble from Sam that explains that. I'm not entirely sure what she said, but it meant that the ship wouldn't get eaten
The Replicators made some more parents? Why would any race want to do that?
Great, you've wasted ammo and annoyed the Replicators. Well done
Poor Jonas, he spent all that time trying to load the gun and now they take it away from him
Eeeww. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to watch 'Videodrome'
There's a joke somewhere about Jack's mental lightbulb going out
Wow, check out the brown hair. Haven't seen that in a while. He looks so much better with the grey
I'm less than fond of Jonas' new crew cut
That was a 'Prisoner' joke that they shamefully didn't use
They're holding the ice-cream hostage!
Love Jack trying hard not to touch the table
They're supposed to be a race of low-grade Marc Bolan lookalikes, taking over the universe with marauding T-Rex tribute bands?
Jack decides to break the tension with a quick round of 'Give us A Clue'
You're telling me T-Replicator didn't see Jack's hand signal?
Ahh. Poor T-Replicator
Well, you've got to use what you've got
Also, when the time thingy breaks down (which I'm guessing it will at some point), he's going to be pissed and in command of a giant replicator army

Sight Unseen

I hope someone wipes that pen off when he's done
Ooh, Jonas in the desert fatigues. Not nearly as yummy as Daniel I have to admit, but nonetheless very cute
A huge glowy, unknown alien artefact and they bring it to the base. To quote Josh Lyman, "what could possibly go wrong"
I saw that
I think it might just be an unfortunate co-incidence that 'Legacy' was on this morning
No, they're suggesting you're nuts
However they have learned from 'Legacy' and haven't slung Jonas in a little white room with no way out. No matter how much the Daniel fans want it
They quarantine Jonas, but they let Jack out in the big wide world with a sidearm?
Quality fringedwelling from the garage guy, "My life flashing before my eyes..."
I like the bullet holes, they give it that proper redneck tackle shop feel
Janet has new 'Charlie's Angels' hair
Take the damn thing back where it came from!
What is it about the SGC that makes it require such a vast amount of jelly and ice cream? It's just a really well-armed, six-year-old's birthday party
I'm with Teal'c. Dump it
See, now they're playing tag as well. It'll be pass-the-parcel next, and party bags full of cake
I hope they remember which holes they took those crystals from
There's a bug on the windshield joke there somewhere...
There, right there, a little bug with clogs on...
Jonas' first encounter with the terrifying phenomenon of Earth grannies
Love the mutual distaste as Sam and Jonas uncouple
God how rude. Could he not at least make some effort to walk round people?
"You'll never get away with this." And Jack though "surrounded" was a cliche
I suspect an ALF joke, but I rarely watched either. He annoyed me, and wasn't nearly as cool as Roland Rat

Smoke And Mirrors

That was never a fatal shot
Kinsey's bodyguards look surprisingly flustered
I would just like to voice a huge vote of approval for stealth!Jack. Yum
Jack surprisingly fails to greet that news with a "whoo hoo!"
In a homage to the wonderful Smallville PD., the police wait until Jack has finished his vacation before moving in to arrest him
As if Jack would be dumb enough to dump the gun in his own lake. A real professional would have left the gun at the scene
At least Jack gets a grey jumpsuit, the orange really wouldn't work on him
Gee, lightning deduction Teal'c
"Seriousness of the security breach", no, the SGC are just far too embarrassed about the whole thing to let it get out
Area 51? The world's least secure military base
Somewhere there must be an effects company with an NID contract, churning out little duplicates of military technology and plastic stargates
Agent Barrett, the sweetest NID agent you'll ever find
Because that's better than illegal guns being sold in a place you don't know about
Should Sam have just revealed her identity to the shady gun dealer?
Or the military files since they've all stated he must have had military training
Sam brought plenty of outfits on this trip didn't she?
I find it hard to believe that the NID would be so stupid as to let one of their own men do the assassination
Teal'c has a driving license? What name does it give?
Jonas' t-shirt is so close fitting you can see his radio mike
Is it just me or does CN almost make Christopher Judge look small?
The guy's been working on the airbase for three years and Teal'c doesn't recognise him
Teal'c discovers a way to live without his unfeasibly large staff weapon. Nice arm! Teal'c taking lessons from Corporal Carrot
"Volunteer the information", he really is turning into Carrot
That's some top quality staring from Teal'c. Perhaps he's aiming for a place at the Stare Olympics in 2004
In any other show that would have been a seriously romantic moment, instead we get Sam's much more sensible "Get up"
Hey! They're going to stick the devious doctor where the sun doesn't shine
See, I told you that wasn't fatal
Does he need to shoot Kinsey? Couldn't he just have unplugged him or smothered him or something?
Go fake!Major Davis! Wow. Fake!Major Davis is fast
Hey! Leave the lovely Major Davis out of this!
Smashing a conspiracy and a major scientific breakthrough. This has been a hot day for Sam
I wonder if the press are getting Jack's sceptical little eye rolls

Paradise Lost

Cheeky sod! Particularly the beer
Which foreign country has Maybourne pissed off that he needs to be back in the US?
"A Presidential pardon" and hopefully a razor blade
Get it off the barbecue!
That was a very gay wave from Maybourne
Why would Maybourne give them the address if there wasn't a door? He's not that dumb
Big moon. I wonder what the tides are like? I think possibly they're on the moon, the thing in the sky looks more like a planet. And the tides would be huge
Sounds like a gremlin.
"Only the righteous shall pass" 'Last Crusade' anyone?
Sam being as helpful as usual "This is definitely something but I don't know what."
Incidental fact, the extra in the background as Jack comes back through the gate to speak with Hammond is a kid's TV presenter who was doing a special on 'Stargate' and got a bit part. See what you learn when you're watching kid's TV?
Who by? God, post empted by Jack and he has better grammar. I'm deeply ashamed
Should she still be calling Maybourne Colonel?
Oh Maybourne is good
Buttercups have never been so threatening.
I'm not seeing any weapons, unless those are specially bred attack daisies
What is this, the Elysian Fields? You know that "utopia" means "nothing", right? as in utopias cannot exist?
No, Canada. But close, Jack.
Ooh, an "all due respect" from the snippy science guy.
Has it occurred to any of them to go up to that huge castle i.e. sign of civilisation on top of the crag and ask if anyone there knows the key?
You know that you're on an alien world when Jack is the voice of reason.
Now that's the way you should fish
Love Jack nearly getting brained by the flung fish
Ok, he is losing it
Jack sounding worryingly like my Mother then, "you don't like it, it's your own fault..."
That's just what Col. Paranoia needed.
Poor Chevron 7 guy doesn't count
"Two weeks later" Have they drawn a line down the middle of the camp yet?
I would have thought that making a roof would have been a priority
I wondered when they were going to figure out the significance of the clue that Jack kicked aside earlier.
Is Jack drawing on the artifact? Daniel would be throwing a fit right about now.
Where did all the colour go? Why has Jack just gone all grey (yeah, go on, make the joke...)? Is that meant to be stylish or am I having video problems again?
It's not the women's locker room, it's SG-1's private cupboard, Sam just gets it to herself on a timeshare basis
"I'm still here" thinks Teal'c, "me and my rippling muscles in this skimpy top..." Aw, a touching Sam/Teal'c scene. You don't get too many of those.
Was that pig an hallucination? Ah it was
If he hit Maybourne in the stomach he would have completely missed the pig
"With a grenade?" Maybourne, the world's most subtle woodsman
See! I told you the daisies were up to something!
Now that's a huge splinter.
What is that on Maybourne's face?
Jack has very well manicured nails for someone in the military
Eeep!
I'm not trying to kill you, that bullet was just to get your attention.
Hang on a sec, they've been there nearly a month and Jack barely has stubble. Are beard clippers a required part of SG kit?
He'll be running the Tok'ra in a couple of months
That was a bit of a crappy ending.

Metamorphosis

Love Sam's slightly stunned, slightly disturbed look at Jonas' flirting. It's too early for her to have to deal with another member of the team behaving like a child
Ooh Jonas, you sly thing. A blonde nurse too, go for all those stereotypes.
Hey leave Jonas alone, not everyone is lucky enough to have good-looking members of the opposite sex turn up, make spontaneous declarations of love and start walking through your kitchen cabinets
You might want to page a medical team too.
Yeah, like SG-1 haven’t brought anybody back before. What ever happened to the alien archaeologist from “New Ground”? Is he still wandering around the depths of the SGC?
That was a bitchy comment from the Russian.
They just bought him back to make Jack feel bad
I'm sure you can endure the pain, but you don't have to. A really stoic alien would have left it at "it's nothing"
No Jack, not like a bomb, it is actually a bomb
Ugh mucus! Ugh, he’s melting, he’s melting! This was surely the place for an Oz reference.
Yeah, what the Russian said.
This isn’t a Hazmat team thing, this is a job for the cleaning ladies with the highest security clearance in the world. "I want a Hazmat team..." and tell them to bring a mop
Jack has to be in command because it's just not worth the bitching if he's not
Why was the stargate strobing?
Funky mini telescope
That was a cute little fireball
Didn't they just yell "free jaffa"? Are they firing on their own allies? No, it must have been "kree jaffa", but it might not be a bad idea if Bra'tac's guys started thinking about a new name
Teal’c wastes no time in finding an unfeasibly large staff weapon.
Good shot Jack
Nice rolled Russian 'r' from Jack
We’re not here to hurt you, we’re just carrying these guns because we think they make us look cool...
She's doing a pretty good job of it so far
Goddess, unless Nirrti was hiding something under that robe
They could have had the plague before she showed... Thank you, Teal'c I was just about to say that
Is he meant to be telepathic or just observant?
Okay, so we're going with the mental powers explanation. Hey, will we get to see the Jedi mind trick?
Why pick on my Jonas! Go threaten Teal'c... Oh, okay now I see why
Isn’t Nirrti the invisible one... Yup, apparently she is.
They're spending a lot of time panning up her cleavage
Oh that's ace, the mutant Jedi rule!
So when you stop a bullet with the power of your mind, where does all it's kinetic energy go?
Love Jack’s foolproof test for forcefields.
Also, they're not very pretty, and she's not going to move into a body that won't look good in the leather push-up bra
Bastard! I was just about to say that too (about the locomotive)! Being post-empted by Jack is all well and good, I'm used to that, but being gadzumped by Teal'c and Jonas in one episode? That's a bit too much
Absolutely it's true
Yes Sam, you'll find out how it works, but they'll be too busy wiping you up with a dry cloth for you to tell anybody else
"Should never have allowed myself to be captured" it happens to the best of us, just ask SG-1
She's having a quiet orgasm by the looks of it
Ooh, so nearly got Teal'c's toes
Jonas isn't hurting like Sam was, that's significant, right?
Rest? They're locked up in a six foot cage, what else is she going to do?
That’s an unusual choice of pillow for Sam. Are they supposed to be in love again now? There's just a whole mass of UST flying round in this ep
Hello?! Python torture, "fetch the soft cushion!"
I wonder if Jonas has seen 'The Graduate' yet?
Jonas following the Daniel route of Team Sex Object for randy Goa'ulds.
Why does Jonas have to volunteer? Can't Nirrti just take him as a host and do whatever she likes?
I must say that Jonas is coping very well in the face of Goa'uld nuzzling.
That was foolish Jonas, you were doing so well
"That is forbidden" ah, now we get to it
Why does nobody question why Jonas is completely unharmed from his little trip to the machine?
Jack was all 'take me, take me' before, but now it's actually his turn he's stalling for all he's worth
Except Jonas
Hey! Oz reference! "Hey!" thinks Sam, "I thought I got to be Dorothy?"
What people? Did they miss the fact that she killed them all?

Disclosure

This is not going to be a riveting episode, I can tell. Although the potential for cultural stereotypes seems quite high.
Being Russian they must obviously drink tea from a samovar
Ah, here we go, stereotyped Brit with a stick up his bum.
That's it, you bait the Chinese
Major Davis, not just Official Breaker Of Crappy News to the SGC, but now Official Breaker Of Crappy News to the Entire World
What brought on the disclosure? Is this so they can go back to Kelowna and say "get bent"
There he is! There’s my yummy archaeologist! That's a really high class picture for a military file. Somewhere out there must be a really frustrated Air Force photographer who was just sick to death of shooting planes
He's British? Oh, of course, he said 'bloody' he must be a Brit
These people don't even know who the Asgard are
Okay that's confusing to me and I watched it all
Oh no, a clip show. Here we go, a selection of “Jack’s Hair Colour Changes Through The Years”
The Americans seem to be quaking under the might of British sarcasm.
And I'm guessing the one with the impenetrable accent is meant to be French?
They've been at it about three minutes, give them a chance
"Imminent danger" Again? Oh what did Jack do?
A what class vessel? That's just attack with an H in front
There he is again! Oh, how I miss Daniel.
Except that humans wear less silly hats. Generally.
Oh, and not for the first time either (grumble, moan, feverish political rantings)
Oh, Hammond uses a “due respect”! He must have cracked Jack’s code.
Hateful Kinsey. Someone lock him in a supply cupboard at the Pentagon, please?
It's a fair assessment twice actually
And he has clearly failed on both occasions
Actually, from these clips it seems to be Sam that’s saving everybody and SG-1 just getting in the way.
When alien troops march through the streets the people won't be allowed to panic, they'll be in chains
Now everybody’s making bets on how long the Chinese ambassador is going to live after storming out of this meeting.
Those are some nice aerial shots of the Pentagon
Sam, again.
That was a pointed glare at Kinsey.
The X-301 would have worked fine if they'd stripped out the death glider parts and checked them first as well. Live and learn
Ooh, the Chinese guy weighing in with an 'all due respect' too
I think that Jack and Teal’c fell in love with that ship then.
What, put the gate in Switzerland?
They're getting quite a bit of hard cash as far as I remember
No, no, not the NID! Holy god Kinsey, you moron. Well, Bitca did officially conclude that he was a prick, and I've got no reason to go against her
And the great nations that aren’t represented at this table? What about them?
The boonie hat! I’ve even missed the boonie hat.
What indications of danger? They had no idea there was a black hole there
Kinsey is very eloquent but also very wrong.
Why am I smelling a Kinsey set up?
These events are catered?
You've got to admire the Russian's reasoning too
Hammond's about to make a demand, isn't he?
Yay Thor! I love Thor’s little “Supreme Commander”.
"Please drop in anytime" like whenever we are losing an argument to more eloquent foe
Hammond so wanted to do a victory dance there.

Forsaken

He's going to knock the telescope out of alignment isn't he?
Sam was just waiting for Jack to say something stupid there, you could see it on her face.
Sam gets a little over excited by ionized gases again. Jack' s interested in the gas really, he's just keeping up his disinterested Colonel facade unless Sam thinks this is a reason to start explaining it
Why couldn't they have waited so that they'd be ready half an hour before dark? Think of all the trouble they could get into in five hours
I thought that Jack was having a wrong trousers moment for a minute there. A wrong trousers moment is when you accidentally swap your trousers with a friend who has the same size waist but a radically different leg length. The comedy element is determined by the length of time it takes you to notice. (About four hours, if you’re interested)
Jonas suffering from radio excitement, whereby you give enough information to be interesting but absolutely none of any practical use. This was much practised by Riker and Geordi on 'ST:TNG'.
Teal'c's looking very muscular tonight. Sleeveless t-shirt, it must be Summer range!Teal'c
Oh please no, ‘Ancient Celtic’? They’re usually pretty good at this.
Sam using the advanced method of checking for survivors, yell "hello" and see if anyone answers
"Peaceful explorers" most of the time
Jack is being quite clever here.
I really don’t trust the supposed to be handsome captain, ravishingly glossy haired first officer and instantly forgettable blond one.
Really no ship, Jack keeps crashing them
Teal’c sense danger.
Those pulse guns the ship-wrecked guys are using look incredibly unwieldy
That's quite an alarm system they've got there. That sounds just like the bandit alarm at work, the one that's remarkably similar too and situated just below, the push button to open the back door
And you didn't think to mention that?
So there were eight survivors of the crash. They're lying through their teeth already
Why do I suddenly get the impression that the Celts are going to be the bad guys in this?
So Scots then, not Celts. Noticable lack of Scottish accent though. Surely that's got to be a blessing?
General Hammond cutting through the technobabble.
Teal’c reverts to the role of SG-1’s packhorse.
Is she just flirting with him for information? I don't trust her
Perhaps Sam could use a really big scart lead.
That's a ridiculously impractical doorway
Well, it really didn’t do that well this time, did it. Mr. I Don’t Think You Really Are A Captain... Don't worry, SG-1 are still a little fuzzy with the "don't crash" rule too
I wondered if souffle would translate. Actually, soufluffles aren't that difficult. Cream horns are difficult
I like Sam's regal acceptance of the alien guy's flattery
For some reason I was sure that Jack would be under that sheet.
Jonas used a pen in a book. Bad Jonas.
That must be unsettling, having General Hammond just randomly wandering the halls
Good grief, Sam strikes again.
Samantha from the Aramic, meaning listener, apparently
Sam's taking the dashing of her parent's hopes rather well. At least she didn't get stuck with Henrietta
Aidan meaning fire in Celtic
Aidan needs some better lines, and quite quickly too
They rustled up a wide range of cheesy Celtic artefacts very quickly
Okay, I really don't like her now
Her lines are much better. I love that line, “I thought you were very cute way before I got shot”
Don’t believe him!
I had forgotten about SG-15. Where the hell have they been?
That was a free lip wax for Sam there.
Really subtle hand signals from Jonas
Why would he be suspicious of that? I'd have thought all the girls would be quite keen

Changeling

Hmm, this isn’t the SGC. Has Dr. Frasier been let out to play again?
There’s some quality eye-acting from Christopher Judge.
Dr Apophis MD. Geearrggh! I knew it! I knew he wasn't dead
Okay so it was a dream sequence, but I'm still not convinced
Why are Teal'c and Jonas sharing a room?
His head! His accent! His facial expressions! He sounds like Teal'c did when Teal'c was Jack. The really frightening thing, that last sentence actually made sense
We really are seeing a lot of muscular Teal'c these days, and muscular Jonas too. Yippee! Hmm, That vest is a definite plus for Corin Nemec.
Am I being slow? Oh it was all a dream
Teal’c had better be careful with those candles if he’s going to sit like that. I'm constantly amazed that he hasn't set the SGC on fire at least once
The commissary's out of blue jelly, and Sam's not going to settle for the vaguely nutritious looking kind with the fruit in it
Musetta Vander is in this episode? Does she get to live through it?
Michael Shanks! Hooray! This is obviously my reward for being a good girl today.
They're firemen now? Huh? Firemen? Huh? Why would Teal’c dream about being a fireman?
Quite like Fireman Jack. Oh great, I have the 'Fireman Sam' theme in my head now. Fireman Jack is hot
I'm weirded out and the pink apron really doesn't help. It's quite how relaxed he looks in the pink apron that's upsetting me, almost like he's worn one before
He doesn't usually have eyebrows does he? Who? Teal'c. I don't know, I'm going to have to go check now
Okay, I think, I know what's going on but I'm still confused
Do we not get to see Jack slide down the pole thingy? No, because he was already on the ground floor and that would just be silly
I could never sit in the back of a truck like that it always makes me feel sick
Why would a car be leaking gas? Now I am being slow, they mean petrol
That's a very unconvincing corpse
I bet yours isn't alert and responsive...
He passed out, in a manly way
Hey, it's just possible that Musetta Vander may survive an episode
That's called lucid dreaming, and if you can manage to do it, it's really cool
I’m still trying to figure out which is the dream sequence. I’m going to go out on a sci-fi limb here and say that they’re both not real.
They're never going to let him live down the fainting
Daniel! I missed you!
“You’re the doctor” “Of archaeology…”
Stupid hat!
These really are some kick-ass hallucinations. I mean, I've had some good ones in my time, but nothing like this
Teal’c has a tantrum here “My symbiote is gone and there’s no way you can tell me any different!”
Ah, finally! This is the real bit right?
I hate to tell her this, but that story won't stand up in court
If Bray rejects his kidney can Teal’c have it back?
I thought he got to go to Keb and ascend after his symbiote died?
Where’s Michael Shanks? I was promised Michael Shanks and I want him on my screen now!
Christopher Judge suddenly realising just how silly the premise for this show actually is
How very fringedweller, taking the unavailable third option. Oh, that's just Daniel messing with Teal'c's head "maybe neither one is real"
Well General Hammond, for three days so far... How could General Hammond possibly think there was research on that?
Go get him a symbiote, people!
Surely Dr. Frasier should be in the infirmary with her critical patients?
But they're SG-1, "all but impossible" is their speciality
Junior! No! I'm getting all teared up at the thought of losing Junior
They’ll still need Goa'uld, just dead ones. Oh well, they can just grind up Junior now.
Well, Dr. Frasier’s moral crisis was over quickly.
Oh! In the jumper! Oh! The ascension knitwear returns. Love the ascension knitwear, although I'm not sure where it came from because he ascended out of his bandages
For a being with a policy of non-intervention, Daniel certainly sticks his nose in a lot. Hmm, Sam is the only SG-1 member not to have a Daniel visitation. Apart from Jonas of course, and Daniel is probably haunting him with “You’re only here until the season finale...”
Oh that's so cool Chevron Seven Guy was the radio dispatcher in the fire station. Now that's attention to detail

Memento

I'm lost already. Where are we?
Toes? They're on their tippy-toes? What kind of attitude is that to assume for a potentially dangerous situation? It's almost as bad as the habit that Janeway had of turning off the lights when they went to red alert.
This is going to be hard to fringedwell. Jack's well ahead in the post-empting stakes already. Yep, he'd got me four times by "When are we not on a drill?"
Oh, the Prometheus. Is it such a good idea to put SG-1 on a spaceship? because that hasn't worked in the past. They're like Leo and his missile defence system. SG-1 need to accept that, for them, space flight is just never going to work
Have you never considered it might be Jack who causes the emergency?
05:00? You callous bastard!
You do have to feel sorry for the Colonel who's trying to run a ship with Jack on it
"I highly doubt.." Never say that
They passed by a black hole? Even Han Solo knew that was bad
Very revealing t-shirt on Teal'c again, Is Christopher Judge that desperate for a date?
Let that be a lesson, always carry a spare, be it pen, tyre or hyperdrive buffer. Even to my untrained eye, it's a bit of a design flaw to not have a back-up or even the components for a back-up for the most important piece of the ship. Silly Sam.
"Oh great," thinks Jonas, "So no pressure then..."
Could you not hide round the other side of the planet?
They have artificial gravity because it would be too expensive to film them not having artificial gravity.
You did just fire off what was effectively a huge bomb over their planet, you can't blame them for firing back
Thank you Jonas
Maybe *they* had a backup system, something that the 'Prometheus' builders seem to have forgotten
Let's hope they speak English, or translate really fast
Jack the diplomat? Has everybody forgotten just how bad Jack is at being a diplomat?
Damn. I'm eating a Danish pastry and just dropped icing all over the keyboard. Now the keys are all sticky
Love the 'Baron Munchausen' airships transposed with the 'Minority Report' city
I know bearded guy from somewhere and it's bugging me. I know his voice
No, actually Jack didn't apologise, as such.
"Flushes sideways" like a really big toilet bowl. I want to see the size of the Harpic block they hang on the edge
No evidence until now, anyway. The very fact that the myth exists is evidence
It's unlike Teal'c to use the term chappa-ai
Barbeque? They're having ribs? A barbeque, yeah, they packed one of those but not a spare reactor buffer. Unless the barbeque could be used as a reactor buffer, because a toaster can be used to make a Stargate.
Ah, the shadowy library assistant, fount of all shelving knowledge. He's probably got the relevant papers tucked away under his desk
I like that attitude, 'I'm spending five minutes at this party, and if you're still making small talk by then, I'm giving the order to fire'
Corin Nemec has a sexy lean
Agh! Every historian's nightmare! Anyway, the history would survive orally, it always does.
"Nostalgia is a sign of weakness" so all these 70s flashback shows really are destroying our lives
That colonel is rapidly getting on my nerves.
"Quick," hisses Jack to Sam, "Say something diplomatic!"
It's bad luck to toast with water , and don't try and tell me it's vodka, they aren't Russian.
What was that little gesture Jack made with the glass?
Still not sure which Horus this is, mythologically
That's not buried very deep for 300 years ago. Depends what the wind's like out in the wasteland
Jack was expecting that to be harder
This is just the barn-raising sequence from 'Witness' except with less Amish people.
The middle bit of the gate didn't spin round
They didn't take it anywhere and if you want to move it you'll need one hell of a crane
What is it about the military that attracts the paranoid loonies?
There's a couple of completely gratuitous naked men lurking in the back of this shot
"Let's hope the old man is right, or this is going to be a short ride" stock sci-fi phrase gets an airing
Maybe you should have done it a long time ago but whenever you do it you should wear a flak jacket
A climatic speech rather than a climactic fire fight, both intelligently artistic and easy on the budget

Prophecy

No, Jonas Quinn is just sensing that his time is up.
A leading question and a pragmatic answer. That's a man who knows how to deal with reality
Oh God, not another prophecy. Although this just sounds like a wish rather than a prophecy.
Jonas sensibly staggers outside to find a nice, soft, blanket-covered gym mat to collapse on
Jonas is rubbing at his head as if he could rub through to the problem.
None of them ate any of the food
Sounds like Baal's been getting ripped off
Hmm, God of Death. That's not a good sign.
Mexican Theme Day in the SGC cafeteria. There's a mental image to savour
Jonas isn't reacting to his flashes like I would, which would be to scream a lot and demand for my head to be fixed.
Jonas seems to be turning into Cordelia with his headaches and visions.
Yes, well the first time they encountered all the other strange phenomenon they hadn't seen them before either. In other words, there's a first time for everything
And there's the Yu joke...
Jonas sensibly reading the pill bottle before swallowing the tablets
I wonder what triggered this, the gene splicing thing happened weeks ago
Jonas doesn't look at all keen about having the top of his head taken off.
"Jonas thinks..." Sam distancing herself from the pre-cognition theory
So if nothing strategically important happens in the next 24 hours he's screwed?
Sam being benched there, and not looking happy about it
Ah, Pragmatic Guy is on the take. I thought he might be
I'd forgotten Jonas had an aquarium
Jonas realising that you can't dodge fate when it's really out to get you
Killed by basic maintenance, that would be a shocking way to go considering everything that Sam has been through.
Sam is taking all of this in her stride.
Nice to see this second sight thing being approached from a purely scientific angle instead of accepting it, like Buffy and Angel, or Scully's 'I don't believe in superstition' no nonsense approach. Sam doesn't exactly disbelieve Jonas, but she can't get the equations to balance
Teal'c can identify the ship just by the engine noise?
Shock grenades. We haven't seen them in a while
"Three green bottles hanging on the wall, and if one green bottle should accidentally fall, there'll be two green bottles hanging on the wall."
Jack's been here, done that.
Surely if you wake up in a Goa'uld cell then something bad has already happened?
I'm sure I've seen the guy who plays Lord Maat be evil somewhere else
Yes, but what do they get out of it?
Are they doing spot the movie shot? Last week it was 'Witness', and this week we've had 'Gladiator' and 'Carlito's Way'
That's a disappointingly modest hospital gown
The prop girl has been round with her bucket of Vaseline again
"Looks like a..." that's bad, right?
There's a suction joke in there somewhere

Full Circle

That's some hideous hair on Skaara.
Neahhh! Gah! Hooray! Yippee! Jedi!Daniel to the, well not exactly rescue...
That's the comedy music, something funny is going to happen.
Jack-The Swipe Card's Story
This is why I never travel in lifts
Love the way Jack checks to see if Daniel has just picked up the phone
And apparently that's what I've been missing, oh yum, hair... knitwear... I don't know what they've been doing with Daniel on that higher plane, but whatever it is, it suits him. Oh, the knitwear. Heaven. Mmm, ascension knitwear
If Anubis gets a full set of the Eyes Of Ra he could get a fortune for them on Ebay.
Love Daniel's little eye-roll, "I should have known it was going to be like this..."
No, this is really bad, like spitting in the street
Jack stands to give his briefing, poised to run if anyone hints at a straitjacket
Poor Sam! You see, Sam is jealous that she hasn't had a Daniel visitation. Especially since she runs an unofficial ascended being's flophouse
Teal'c has a bazooka, his unfeasibly large staff weapon must be off sick
That was an unfortunate question "are you coming together"
Sam helps Jack out of another difficult situation.
Even if we have no idea what the hell he is
"If you're not prepared to die, you should not be here," Okay then, I'm off, see you later. Possibly
Sounds like Ra has issues. It's not the size of the domain that matters, but what you do with it.
You've got to admire a man who can run and aim a rocket launcher at the same time
Daniel briefly regrets leaving material things behind
Was that a shot from the movie they'd used as the background?
One, two, three, many, lots.
Those old humans had to be quick learners in the ascension game otherwise they'd die horribly.
Nice to see subtle!Sam back. Although she could have waited for Jonas to finish diving out of the field of fire
This is a bit 'Star Wars', isn't it.
Daniel has a plan doesn't he? Or maybe he just has a general aura of plan-having-ness. Okay, I want to see a picture of Plan-having Ness
That's a bugger; half man, half jellyfish.
Sam hasn't really had a lot of time recently, certainly not long enough to explain something that complex to Jack
That's why it's called the 'Lost City' Jack, it's, well, lost.
Very camp "coming out" from Jack. Well, if you're having a coming out it's got to be at least slightly camp
Drop it Jack, there's a good boy.
"Sounds like a hell of a battle", yet down there it seems strangely silent
It's good that Anubis doesn't just rely on sensor readings, he has a man to look out of a window as well.
Why would Anubis admit he didn't do that?
"That" was Daniel wasn't it?
But the pyramid went kaboom in a really major, end of season way. How can it still be intact?
"Death is only the beginning" of course it's familiar, it's from 'The Mummy'
Great, now Jack's got two good friends who appear to make cryptic comments and then disappear again
Okay, that was bizarre. That's a really strange way to end a season let alone a whole series (which it was written to do)
