Yeah, they should so bring it back, although then they'd probably be criticised for not thinking up new plot lines ... :evil:

Well, I don't think so -- it wouldn't be a lack of plot - just something they should have remembered -- it would have made the 'Foothold' situation a bit less perilous tho --- would have been less tension - b/c the aliens wouldn't have been able to get through the gate ----- just a guess -

Well, I think there's a difference between lack of plot and continuity of storylines, but it all depends on how it's done.

These aliens really did actually look alien, it's a shame we probably won't see them again. I think that was funny where Jack wakes up suspended from the ceiling and tries to steady himself by grabbing hold of something, then he looks round and realises he's holding Hammond's head and say's sorry. I also liked that bit where Jack and Davis try to escape:

"Davis, the release is..."
(Davis falls out of the air)
"You found it."

The scene at the end where everyone realises the aliens are about to self-destruct was good as Jack just about managed to get the blast doors shut in time.
O'Neill as usual got a good tongue-in-cheek line about the wrecking of the gate room: "Touch of paint, it'll be fine!"
He was obviously referring to the fact that in most shows such as Star Trek Voyager, no matter how badly damaged the place gets, it'll always be back to normal the following episode.

Well, this was my first episode of SG-1, and I don't think I've yet seen a better one (for all that it's totally Earthbound). I liked the way that TV finally got some half-decent action (try finding that on a decent cop show), and that the aliens were alien (even if they were men-in-suits. And we got Carter being cool (shooting Daniel - verrrry cool, even cold). I did think that the aliens all blowing up was a bit of a lame ending, though.
