2.17: Serpent's Song - Page 2 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Sci-Fi16 · 25th February 2001, 02:11 PM

I love this episode. I was a bit bad by buying it on video weeks before Ch4 got around to it, but it was worth it!

So, Sokar was attacking in a new way unexperienced by the Tau'ri before.....Oh, I'm going to just go onto Apophis.
He was dying right? People have a right to life. Does 'people' include the old snake? The creature was a murderer, we know what he did to Sha're, and SG-1 have first hand experience of his other exploits.
I don't think that he really deserved to have sanctuary, though it was a pretty well calculated guess on his part that the humans would show him such mercy and not, well, blow his head off the moment they saw him.
The separate reactions of the team to Apophis, and eah one's little 'chat' with the system lord were brilliant, abosolutly great to watch. Teal'c was so nasty, bitter, I suppose, but with good reason, not that he should of prevented Janet helping her paitent.
Jack's discussion with him was typical of the Colonel, and Sam's was notably non-existant, but Daniel's was a different matter entirely: I was thinking 'He's got slightly angry before, he could do similar here as he did with Heruer in Secrets, or he might not say much at all'. Therefore, I was totally uprepared for what he did say.
Oh, you go Danny-boy, you go!
Brilliant to see, I will be bloodyminded and say I now want it to be Daniel to finish Apophis off, you know, fulfil his promise.

I loved the scene with Teal'c blocking Janet's way, and she's like; "Teal'c, move out of my way," in her talking-to-crazy-people voice.

Yes, that's good. Shows the ways all people can stand up for themselves.

kel sha,

hehe i saw that ep yesterday again and now i'm sure that all this "civilized" (perhaps except sam) wanted to kill apophis while he was lyin' in bed (not without reason

) ...
and i like the grinning face from jack, teal'c and daniel when they saw apophis suffering his pain ...
.. 'cos on this grinnin' faces u can read all what they think ...
i wonder that jack haven't killed him 'cos i think if apophis would find jack injured he would be the same (or he take him prisoned for an goa'uld as host ...) ..

kree sha

Kel Sha! Geronimo,

I had not thought of that... I like the idea of Jack playing host as Apophis is hosting him! Maybe in season 5....

I am having trouble waiting!

Kree Sha!

And I presume your favourite scene is between him and Daniel, Hmmm?
Sorry, I am preying on your obvious like of the man.
Frankly, the whole epi. is great in my opinion.

jsc · 24th April 2001, 05:13 PM

Yes! All SG-1 episodes starting with Serpent's are great!

'Show and Tell'.

Okay, we know that if there is something physically within the event horizon position, a gate won't dial in. This is why a buried gate won't engage (explained in a number of episodes, including (spoiler) S3: "A Hundred Days").

So, why didn't the SGC simply stick something large through the gate when it dialled off at 38 minutes, to prevent it engaging at all?

jsc · 6th February 2002, 11:22 AM

I don't understand how the gate works... but I know that a gate even burried gets the signal.. I just thinkpeople marterialize in what the gate is buried in...

For Sokar.... I guess they just didn't have the time.... or thought the iris would protect them since before this they didn't know about a particle generator.
