Oh someone along the way probably mentioned it.

There are unimaginable things we don't get to see because they don't really do anything for the storyline. Some things have to be assumed or it would bog down the show.

Cheers,

I have watched it many of times and never hear Jack get told... yeah maybe it is just one of those things we expect...

jsc · 13th September 2000, 04:29 PM

I have a question. Remember when Hammond showed Jack the dead Jaffa? What happened to their symbiotes? Did Maybourne get them? Are they floating in formaldahide at Nellis (Area 51)? Are they wandering the universe or dead?

We saw the two dead Jaffa but no dead symboites.

padders · 13th September 2000, 04:35 PM

Yeah at Area 51 or perhaps they took up an acting career for the independance day sequel

Martouf · 15th September 2000, 01:54 AM

Heh,
Apophis would never be heard of if he came through to earth a day later.....

MythingLink · 15th September 2000, 08:05 AM

If you want to go by what the book adaptation says about the symbiotes, Apophis picked them up and took them when they left the body of the dead Jaffa.

Cheers,

MythingLink, Martouf and Padders,
Thanks for the replies. Did not say what happened in the movie, glad someone read the book. Now can relay to others that are curious.
MythingLink, Finished NEXUS, enjoyed it.

This was the ultimate - the pilot. It set everything up and took over right after the movie. I loved it. It was gut-wrenching when Sharay and Skaara get taken by Apophis though. My favorite scene in the whole movie is when Jack and Daniel have the heart-to-heart talk at Jack's place after coming back from Abydos. They are both so vulnerable and open with one another and I think that moment cements their friendship.

chidren of the gods is a very good film ..

good story, good special effects ...

Sci-Fi16 · 13th January 2001, 12:42 PM

Brilliant, absolutly brilliant.

I prefer this to the film, really. The feature-length gives enough time for a sturdy plot to be built up, and also room for a contrast between action, drama and emotion. This is shown in the last scene of Daniel on Abydos, and when he's on Chulak, compared with the fights at the start, end, and when Skaara and Shar're get taken. My video completely misses out the scene with Daniel at Jack's house, but I saw it on TV, lovely addition.
Top episode, I'd continue if I didn't think it would take up too much space.

Martouf · 13th January 2001, 09:05 PM

has anyone in the UK seen the scene where Jack and Daniel are at Jack's place? (rught after they return from abydos) ?
i was watching the UK version and found that it didn't have that scene or the share nude scenem whereas the Aussie version has both these scenes

MythingLink · 14th January 2001, 11:19 AM

There were a couple of different versions made with and without those scenes as well as the scene where Jack goes to that room after his meeting where he announces he's in charge now. There is an artifact there with some Jaffa embedded in it. West follows him and they have a short conversation.

Cheers,

Martouf · 15th January 2001, 07:15 PM

hmmmmmm....... i suppose they have done it with other eppys too?
mything, are you talking about the movie? or were you having a hammo/west mix-up?

Geronimo · 23rd January 2001, 02:32 PM

kel sha,

watched it today again @ my PC but there is one that's very unreal ..

as Teal'c begin to fire @ their "own" people they still fire @ the citizen of Abydos without note that Teal'c is firing @ their comrades ....

the scene where jack is drinkin' the "Moonshine" he called it was quite cool ..
perhaps "moonshine" is an expression for an american alcoholic drink -- can explain anyone what's a "moonshin" normally ??

moonshine is a slang term, much like 'hooch' it refers to home made alcohol.
