I said in an earlier post how I thought everyone had started knocking 'Stargate SG-1' the way Trek fans have been knocking 'Enterprise' for the last couple of years. When shows have been on as long as these, you cannot help but get stories that are a little like another story, there are only so many possible stories to be told.
However, I was disappointed with this one, as it was much too same-y. Daniel going nuts, storing others conciousnesses in one mind....
Maybe it was an old script that was unused and they dug up again, but it should have stayed buried.
"The script looks like it really plays to Michael Shanks' strengths. From what I've seen, he is going to get to play a bunch of these different people. Looks like there are some nice scenes for Teryl Rothery, as well, as Fraiser tries to treat Daniel and all of the various people trapped in his brain."
That was the best part of it. MS is good at this, and we don't get to see TR enough.
I am really missing Jack and his levity
But this had one of the best Jack lines ever - I actually laughed out loud - when he says to Teal'c "I dare you to say that again!"
I really didn't notice the things you said about RDA's absence, but on reflection I guess they are true.
One thing that annoyed me was the change that occurred about 3/4s of the way through. Up until the second appearance of the boy, none of the conciousnesses had any memory of the interactions between Fraiser and the others before them, but suddenly the Sovereign knew what she had just said to the boy.
I know that explaining everything again and again would make boring TV, but there was no reason for the Sovereign to know what he knew, and the later scene with the boy's father would then be different.
At first, they seemed to be unsure if Daniel was nuts, but they also mentioned the possibility of him being a Goa'uld, and instantly dismissed it. I think if they had developed that aspect of the story more, then it could have possibly been more interesting.
