Excellent episode, both Teryl Rothery and Michael Shanks did very well.

I agree, Rothery and Shanks did very well. I thought the first scene with the boy was really emotional. I got distracted for a min though, so someone please tell me exactly what happened to the minds within Daniel, did they go into the father alien or the ship or into nonexistance?

I need to look at the videotape again but if I understand it correctly, the minds in Daniel will be transferred to Fairan, who will have them redistrubuted among the passengers.

Poor Daniel seems to be the mental case for SG-1. Let's see:

Falls under the influence of the sarcophogus in season one

Becomes a mental case in the season two episode "Legacy"

Descends and loses his memory, yet is able to recover it in a two hour span. blink.gif

Gets pocessed and develops mulitple personalities

When does Daniel catch a break? tongue.gif On a more serious note it is a testament to Michael Shanks and his impressive acting range. It was good to see Teryl in a lead role for this episode to showcase more of that talent we do not see enough of. Proof positive that the success of Stargate is not only in the visual effects and brillant writing, it is also in the great chemistry and acting talant of the cast. I guess seven years of being around the same people will do that to ya. tongue.gif

I dont mean to knock down the other actors but it seems Michael Shanks seems to have an inclination toward these these extreme emotional shifts in character. Although each actor in the series seems to be capable of very convincing and pensive acting. The person that played Faerun (spelling) was also excellent. I think the script was well done and the chemistry was excellent. This is Stargate SG-1 at its best.

I feel sorry for that crewman whose personality was inside of Daniel. He was the most rational of the bunch and he knew he was in a no-win situation from the beginning.

I don't remember anything about all the personalities being redistributed among the passengers. I thought they were just going to leave Fairen in freeze until there were enough awake to "take care of him'. From what the crewman said (see first paragraph), having more than one personality in the same body always ended in insanity.

Hmm, I give MS credit for some great acting, but I thought this episode was a snooze fest. There was 0 action, 0 unpredictability and 0 suspense. I hope they get back to the main plot lines soon, this season is the worst one so far in my book....

I thought this episode was pretty good. Michael Shanks definately has talent, and so does Teryl Rothery.

Not to start another hair topic, but it has to be said: I hate hate HATE Dr. Frasier's hair this season. HATE.

Greetings, yepwee!

Daniel Jackson was cast as the geeky civilian with a lot of hidden strength. Even before his death and...rebirth, his courage and strength came out in the oddest moments.

I'm afraid I missed the first 10 minutes of the show...I was impressed by the acting capabilities of MS and TR, but I felt the episode it's self was not as interesting as it could've been. While I normaly don't mind a lack of action, I found the piontlessness of the drama to be very disapointing. Most of the personalities that emerged were useless except to keep something happening. I also missed the classic O'Neill sarcasam in this episode.

WOW!!! That was some episode. I agree with everyone that Michael Shanks and Teryl Rothery did very well. They should have added a couple of minutes to the episode at the end so I can see what happened to the souls of the people that were in Dainel's head and the rest of the crew. I would have also like to have seen the look on the people's faces when they saw/step through the Stargate.

Teal'c: (says some techincal stuff I cant type)

O'Neill: "I dare you to say that again" biggrin.gif

As soon as it was determined that the crashed ships power supply was failing I knew Sam would come out with the line about hooking up the naquada generator. It's becoming the predictably easy fix-all for off world power supply problems. In the words of Urgo..."Boring".

It was great to see TR have more screen time though there was little for her to actually do. But MS was acting waaaay over the top.

An okay episode but I'm still waiting for that really great one this season.

wow I mean WoW!!! I really like this episode for the great acting. I don't think M.S. could have done a better job at it. T.R. was allso great(hair and all) Nothing was to over the top, yes it was perdictable the naquada generator would have been used. But its a try and proven answer for the teams power supple.

ALL I HAVE TO REALLY SAY IS GREAT EPISODE!!!!!!! rolleyes.gif

I thought this ep. was a yawner. The only up to this one was MS acting skills really started to show. Went from a kid to a pissed off man in like a second.

Bad ep, good acting.

The acting was every exceptional, but the episode was boring.

I haven't been interested in any of the season 7 shows, so far. Not surprising, since 95% of the episodes I have watched (in any of the seasons) more than once have all featured a race that the producers have done their best to kill off.

ok....i as well as many others thought the acting was very good in this ep.. i especially like ms' change in voice for each of his charaters. wasn't just that he changed behavior, but each character had a different accent and tone of voice, very cool. although i think they tended towards a quazi-british accent at some points. still, very well done. i liked that the doc got to show some emotion, "i don't give a DAMN!" hehe
i do have to say say that this ep did sort of feel like a daniel showcase with the other three team members taking a second seat. didn't see much of jack, sam or teal'c, but their screen time together was also nice. i have enjoyed the drama breather, but am ready for the swing back into the action now which will hopefully come with next weeks ep. i say it gets 6 maybe 7 out of ten.

I have pretty much the same opinion as many have already posted... good acting, but overall not a particularly interesting episode.

I think that the story was a bit too predictable and seemed to have very few twists etc..

I agree the lack of action and etc was somewhat unsual but please guys stick with season 7, we know about Lost City and we know about season 8; just stick with it. We dont need Sci-Fi to pull the plug on Season 8 if somehow the ratings drop darastically. (They have done it before numerous times). We owe this to Stargate SG-1 and we owe it to ourselves and each other.
