Season 4, Episode 2 - The Other Side
Original Air Date: July 7, 2000

The SGC receives a distress signal from another planet, which seems to have ties to Earth. The people on the planet are facing extinction at the hands of their enemy, and need our help. SG-1 gates to the planet to offer aid, but as the situation grows more dire, they discover not all is as it seems.

this episode was ok but its not in my top 3.

i usually think that the 2nd episode of a season (the enemy within, in the line of duty, seth) are pretty good , but seasons 4,5 and 6 episode 2 were not as good (i dont count redemption part 2 as s6 e2). i hope they do a great episode 2 for season 7.

Alien Nazies , Alright storyline

This is one episode I love to hate. I agree with the facist line, and Daniel wanting to here two sides of the story, but you have to understand Jacks side of the story too. He now knows that he is falling for Carter, he also what something to show for what they are doing. Find weponds to kill the gou'lds, no matter what it takes. He would have felt ok with what he was doing, untill that guy Alar slamed Tea'l. Just because he looked different he did not like him, with out even talking to him(Teal'c). That made Jack mad, right then and there he new Daniel was right all along. At the end Jack showed Carter how absent of felling he could be. Jack warned Alar once, I wouldn't follow me if I were you. Alar knew there was a irus on the otherside. Alar killed himself.

This episode is a great example of what might happen if we insist on cloning humans. It is not about Nazis, its about cloning vs. natural procreation. I give this episode high marks. P.S. Business between Jack and Daniel is good stylized humor. Loved it.

oh cummon jack and daniel always have great humour together.

I think this shows how the team is lossing a little of their concern for others to get weapons. They were ready to help this people without knowing the facts.

I was very angry with Jack saying Daniel to keep quiet while he was doing a negotiation. I mean, they were very close to be alies to people who couldn't stand a different being.

yeah but sometimes it might be necersery

yeah i tend to think we shoul'av aswell
why didnt we?it could of been v.useful

HA im glad that dumb leader died. He was too arroagant for me to like. Not one of my favs but decent.

I had to watch this episode 3 times to understand what was going on. The first time I was like "Uh..." and got majorly confused. By the second time I realised that they were clones in stasis and the third time I realised that the "breeders" were normal people.

I found this to be one of the more disturbing episodes of the series. The fact that this alien race was committing genocide and SG-1 and the U.S. Government was very close to assisting in that genocide. I'm glad to see that Alar character got his in the end. *thump*

Yeah, this was an interesting episode from an ethics standpoint

But what if the SGC had provided just enough heavy water to keep the defences operational - and insisted on stopping the gassing as the price to pay for the heavy water ?

There were loads of opportunities missed in this episode - what about relocating the bad guys to another world entirely - wouldn't that be worth the technology they were offering ? (the aschen seemed to think so)

Think about what we could have had, fusion reactors, sheilds, UCAV's etc - and we could have forced an end to the conflict

Not that I condone the Eurondans tho ...'cos I can't

Daniel sugested sevral times that the nazis could use the stargate to find an other planet, the nazis refused, claiming they wanted the planet efter the war

And these gays seemed quite Hitler-in-the-bunker to my eyes, just some more tech involved, not about some inheritant evil inte the technology of cloning but the way it was deployed

But it took me a while to figure out that they didn't like Teal'c because he is black, not that he is a jaffa

Nice ep, i'm not that sure that they wouldn't brought the leader in a more real situation thous

They probably didn't like Teal'c because he was black and a Jaffa. They didn't like him because he was different, period.

Regarding the suggestion that SG1 could've provided them enough heavy water to sustain themselves but not win the war in exchange of a cease fire and surrender, I guess that would've been an unwise choice. Those guys are truly ruthless and devious. I mean, the idea of poisining the whole world is just creepy. Besides, they tried tricking the SG1 team into helping them in the first time. They even had O'neill fight with them breifly and kill a couple of the breeders. God only knows what other tricks they would come up with. They might even do something to destroy earth since we are truly breeders

I like this one because the story is very good. I am surprised at the end, and I blame myself to don't notice that they are all white. Am I like them ? I hope not ! The end is good.Jack killed the man, even if he said the he would give he technology. GOOD !

This was the first episode of stargate I had ever seen. I thought it was pretty good otherwise I would not have become involved with Stargate. Plus, I would not be here now, gracing you with my presence.
