'Hey, is that that thing that made that guy do that thing?' - my new favourite line

part 2 was definitely better than part 1 although the whole danny whumped bit just watched like some tired old HC fic brought to life (all we lacked was 'j'ak

)

i really enjoyed the sam/dad/teal'c/bratac bits and the two sam/jack scenes were cute

the sfx were pretty good, the 'attack of the clones' super cgi army was mega cheesy, but then the rings itno nowhere were totally cool, as was the teltac taking off bit

definitely not the worst of the season....but it hasn't supplanted my top eps either, just settled into the middle somewhere

I agree with Dave - first episode was rubbish, second episode was pretty great.
I too was a bit bored with the Anubis/supersoldier storyline. It seemed like a lot of old plots stitched together in an unconvincing way, just not very exciting, and no real feeling of jeopardy.

Enrico Colantoni (sp?), who played Burke, was great! You'll recognise him as the alien who makes contact with the Galaxy Quest crew, or as Elliot from Just Shoot Me. I thought he brought a real touch of class to the episode, even though he was saddled with some really stupid dialogue at some points. His face off with Jack at the cafe felt like movie-quality stuff, and his later confession was great too.
On the other hand, there was some top quality laughs
'Is that that thing that made that guy do that thing?' LMAO!
And the bits with Daniel and pal and the artifact's state of turned-on-or-off-ness.
I was glad that Daniel's pal didn't get offed - this show seems to have a disturbing tendancy to kill off all the B-characters.

Agree, not the best. Better than Bane.

(Sorry for you bane lovers out there.)

The anubis/queen arc didn't draw me in. The Sam exposition seemed to drone on - Amanda gave it a heck of a try.

George's makeup was way too thick. (Now I am just being mean.)

Enjoyed the scenes with Jack speaking spanish. Hope to see the frist guide back again - once they patch him up.

I laughed a lot during the second part, so I have to give it a thumbs up. The relationships and the humor mailed it out for me. Including the afroementioned, Daniel side-step away from the non-glowy box and the line, "Is that the thing that made the guy to the thing?" Think that one will be a classic.

Hope they don't kill off Burke. I didn't like his acting, but he can deliver a punchline.

Nys.

I guess I am back because there are actually some new posts here and I am now getting back ino Stargate, hehe.

Great episode. Twice as good as Part I IMO, and it now takes it's place in the pantheon of Good Season 7 Episodes. Season 7.5 is off to a good start, and I must say: most of the upcoming eps look like they will own the first half of the season.
