So bored. So very bored. If it weren't for the introduction of the ongoing evil villain Tannith, this episode could TOTALLY be skipped. It sucks Goa'uld long range visual communication balls.  But near the end is my mini review of the 80s film DUNE, and a note for Rick from the podcast Open The Iris vis a vis mispronounciation of the word Goa-uld.

A very revealing director commentary, where they finally cop to RIPPING OFF THE MATRIX, but more importantly, I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG ABOUT THE PUSH-N-SWELL!!!!! Called it.Also, Anise has boobs. Swoon as ye will. I don't get it.

The Nazi-riffic episode of Stargate. yyyyyyyowtch. With possibly the greatest director commentary though!

SEASON FOUR IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! This episode bizarrely mashes together TWO Sean Connery classics, The Hunt for Red October, as well as THE ROCK! AWESOME!

A Kree Yoohoo special in between the seasons, we take a look at the Wolfgang Petersen cult sci fi classic Enemy Mine, soon to be ripped off by SG1 in season 4. Boy, this movie is quite boring, but it's remarkable how many OTHER things have taken their visual or thematic cues from it.

YAAAAAAS this is such a good episode. INTRODUCE THE REPLICATORS! Everything you want from Stargate - lots of Jack and Carter tension, Teal'c being stoic, all the technicians on the ground running around like crazy, and quite lite on the Daniel Jackson!

Indiana Jones has ruined this concept forever. But it is funny to be back in the Urgo situation again.

I am so in love with this episode. It's tender in just the right way, and also features a lot of O'Neill not understanding things, which is always hilarity.

...followed immediately by the WORST. EPISODE. EVER!

IT'S MY FAVOURITE EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!  Do forgive me for the intro, guys. Hahaha.
