This is the "Rewatch Stargate SG-1 Season 2 Episode 21" page.

Missed the page, but the one thing that always bothered me about that episode was how they powered the gate. In other episodes they use a naquadah generator, naquadah bomb, organic fusion (Linea), or even lightning to power the gate for a manual dial. I don't know how much power you can get from a deuce and a half, but it seemed lacking to me.

A real hellraiser


If I were Daniel Jackson in the simulation of my parents dying on loop I'm pretty sure I'd get them out in like the second try. They view me as a kid, I just start shouting "gently caress poo poo Piss Bitch! Those are my new favorite words! gently caress poo poo piss bitch!" They would walk outta their deathtrap to come grab me pretty loving fast.

Winning O'Neill's scenario would be more difficult but I'd try uh lying to kawalsky and saying we just did a bit of reconnaissance before they got there and there's a lot more guys than they thought. Which is true. Draw out a map and point out where their guys are.

Unfortunately, the Keeper cheats, so every time you tried something clever, he'd either just have your parents do something completely out of character and ignore you, or spawn more dudes with guns where there definitely weren't any before.

Watched the first episode with actual Thor in it yesterday. I am so glad that somehow over 25 years I did not have that reveal spoiled for me. Every time the holographic Viking version showed up I was chortling at how lovely a Thor it was, but very cool reveal.

I like how despite this show seeming fairly colonialist, every time they return somewhere so far they have seen consequences for their actions loving things up and been like "Maybe we shouldn't have did that"

I don't 100% remember why but before the show dropped his official name we used to call him Mini-Hammond. I think the joke/head canon was that he was General Hammond's illegitimate son

It's not entirely clear whether Simmons died from infection or not in the last episode with the 100,000 year old alien probe.

Also I am continuously flummoxed by how much Goa'uld weaponry and technology the team just leaves on the ground. They could have dozens of Jaffa staffs back at HQ by now for analysis and reproduction. But they always just grab one only to make sure Teal'c still has one.

Like Teal'c and O'Neill just killed like a full battalion of troops all carrying staffs, and didn't even carry them back to the cave all the people were hiding in to help with defense.

Also if only to steal those little fuel cell things at the bottom of the staff they extract in one episode. That's good rear end tech to steal.

Maybe they send out SG-2 to pick them up all later :v:

IIRC at some point they have an entire armory full of staffs and zats, so presumably they've got enough for their needs. And yeah, I expect follow-up teams would be able to loot whatever they need from various sites that SG-1 obliterates.
