Given they were recently able to defrost an entire woolly mammoth somewhere far north, it is clearly possible to freeze and "survive" intact. My bigger question would be when did that Jaffa get encased?

I think the BIG part of this episode was the introduction of the second gate (cue lots of use in late S3 and then into S4 and S5). Possibly also the use of seismology for detecting alternate gate usage too.

True. They use that particular technique several other times. Like in Touchstone.

I really liked that episode, especially the parachuting bit.

Hungry · 6th February 2002, 11:13 AM

parachuting ?!?!

They parachuted ? Uh, Oh, time to go watch my tape again .......

lisasg1 · 6th February 2002, 11:20 AM

They parachuted in Watergate, not Solitudes,
sorry for confusing you!

Hungry · 6th February 2002, 11:36 AM

Ah, Phew !!

I thought I woulda remember something like that ............

Yeah I remember Daniel parachuting - hehehe

:rolly2:

lisasg1 · 6th February 2002, 12:30 PM

Yeah, Daniel can always make me laugh! Teal'c was really funny parachuting too. :rolly2:
That was when Sam said that Jack was charming, too !

yeah - it's been a while since anyone's posted in this thread, and the most recent posts are all season 4 spoilers, but anyway -

i have to say that i agree w/ Mything - this was a character development episode, and that's one of the things that i love in tv - character development - flat characters are boring, so we need some character interaction and some background. Here we got a bunch of info on Jack's past - mostly military related, but it's background - important for understanding a character's motives and such. And we see some stuff about Sam too - ie: she's not so good w/ first aid

however, the one thing that's always bothered me - why didn't she try to dial to another planet to 'test' the DHD and the gate? why did she keep trying Earth?

Hungry · 23rd April 2002, 07:07 AM

Thatz what I thought ...............

but then - Itz sam - she knows best

Highlander II · 23rd April 2002, 02:15 PM

nah - it's something that's really been bugging me - why didn't she try to gate to another planet? she assumed that there was a problem with the DHD instead of 'verifying' her assumption by trying to dial another planet --

i know, i know, for the storyline to work, she can't actually 'get' to another planet, b/c that would ruin the 'seismic' activity precedent they set to use later, but i still don't understand why she didn't try to dial to another planet ---

Hungry · 24th April 2002, 12:37 PM

A human side of Sam maybe ?

not the all knowing brain......... can make mistakes .........

I guess itz on the scale of requiring Daniel to unlock the "secret" of the stargate when there are only the limited number of symbols on the gate ...

Highlander II · 24th April 2002, 02:13 PM

my thing in Daniel's case - of 'unlocking' the stargate - was that the team needed 'fresh' eyes to work on the project - and he was the best qualified --

and i can understand Sam making mistakes - but that just seemed like something that she wouldn't do - it seemed 'out of character' to me -- she's usually 'options woman' - the one who 'thinks outside the box' so to speak --

Hungry · 25th April 2002, 06:23 AM

Maybe the hunger, cold, dispair, anguish, etc, etc, etc got to her ...

<shrugs> just one more blooper for the PTB ..........
