Stargatezing

Teal'c kills Daniel! Jack and Sam make out! Rodney keeps trying to make Gateship happen! Does any of it really matter if it occurs in an alternate timeline? Who knows?

Teyla is accused of espionage, there's a surprise wraith in the city, one of our favorite characters dies, Atlantis' only hope of defense is too glitchy to stand up to the wraith ships, and Mary spilled her protein shake. It's bad. It's all bad.

SG-1 screws up the timeline and everything is the worst. Sam and Daniel wear boring earth tones, Jack is filthy, Rodney is a creep, Kinsey is president and there's no stargate. Good job, guys.

Teyla reads Wraith minds! Teyla has nightmares! Teyla does therapy! Teyla finds a "secret lab!" Teyla eats soup! Have we mentioned this episode is all about Teyla?

We say goodbye to a whopping four characters in this episode. Our emotions run from sad to delighted. And no, of course Daniel is not one of those characters.

There’s clips and bickering and moral failings. We’re 50/50 on whether these things are enjoyable to watch.

Everyone on the team contributes to the win: Teal'c makes reaction faces, Daniel dies again, Jack rescues Siler, Sam hangs out with the Ba'alogram, Bratac gloats, and Jacob/Selmac act put out.

It's like Indiana Jones but without the best parts of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford).

RepliCarter T1000's Yu. Anubis has some major freezer burn. Jack is even more Jack than usual. A jaffa has a wardrobe malfunction. It's a weird episode.

When faced with your own alter-ego, do you call each other by your first name? When you find out your frenemy's alter ego (and hundreds of other people) all died in a different timeline, is it okay to make fun of him? If you are in mostly-suspended animation for 10000 years, do your belongings age just as slowly or at normal speed? If only we knew.
