התמלול המלא של Episode 107 – Stargate SG-1 Rite of Passage (S5 E6)

00:05:27.313 --> 00:05:32.067 Yes. I did not write it down that this is the last episode, so I would assume so. 00:05:32.583 --> 00:05:36.681 Then we have Richard the Clerk, last seen as Joe in Season 2, 00:05:36.681 --> 00:05:38.748 Episode 19, One False Step. 00:05:41.241 --> 00:05:45.721 And then we have the lovely Karen von Blankenstein Frankenstein as nurse, 00:05:45.721 --> 00:05:48.454 again, seen in the fifth man as nurse. 00:05:48.652 --> 00:05:54.421 She comes in, tells Dr. Frazier the temperature. So, get the credit. Good for her. 00:05:55.796 --> 00:05:58.351 So, okay, the one person you didn't mention is... 00:05:58.361 --> 00:05:59.198 There's one more. 00:06:00.429 --> 00:06:01.041 Okay, then I'll be quiet. 00:06:01.141 --> 00:06:05.671 There's a reason for that. I left her for last, even though it's important. 00:06:05.671 --> 00:06:11.383 So, we have a new person as Cassandra. 00:06:11.859 --> 00:06:16.601 It's Colleen Renneson as Cassandra. She actually is a, 00:06:18.501 --> 00:06:23.481 returning actress because she played Allie in Season 2, Episode 10, 00:06:23.481 --> 00:06:28.542 Bane, which I think was the girl with the water pistol. 00:06:32.198 --> 00:06:33.018 Oh, okay. 00:06:33.018 --> 00:06:35.706 I would have to look it up. I actually didn't, but I think it was her. 00:06:36.538 --> 00:06:38.283 So there is a story for that. 00:06:39.558 --> 00:06:43.668 Why that happened? Why did they recast her? Because the original Cassandra was 00:06:43.668 --> 00:06:45.029 not the Cassandra we see this time. 00:06:45.830 --> 00:06:46.416 Right. 00:06:46.555 --> 00:06:53.158 So Katie Stewart is the actress who played Cassandra before. 00:06:53.498 --> 00:06:58.958 Stewart was simply unavailable this time because she was filming X2, 00:06:58.958 --> 00:07:00.653 X-Men United at the time. 00:07:01.338 --> 00:07:06.798 So she couldn't be released for this episode, even a couple days, right? 00:07:06.798 --> 00:07:09.108 I mean, usually when they're in the middle of a big production, 00:07:09.108 --> 00:07:12.708 they can just stop and that she can do her character on the show. 00:07:12.708 --> 00:07:17.798 And also Stargate usually can't stop and wait and just shoot it later because 00:07:17.798 --> 00:07:20.798 that might take too long and they don't have that much runway. 00:07:20.798 --> 00:07:23.098 So, yeah, they had to recast. 00:07:23.398 --> 00:07:26.018 I think they did a good job recasting her. 00:07:27.020 --> 00:07:29.028 She works as Cassandra. 00:07:29.516 --> 00:07:30.588 Yeah. Yeah. 00:07:30.588 --> 00:07:36.923 Works very well. So that's why I mentioned your last. I wanted to build up for that. Okay. Yes. 00:07:37.638 --> 00:07:42.403 Which means we've already talked about most of the behind the scenes stuff. 00:07:44.092 --> 00:07:48.248 The only thing I can mention is that Terrell Rothery had previously worked with 00:07:48.248 --> 00:07:53.698 Colleen Rendison on Mr. Rice's Secret in 1999, playing mother and daughter. 00:07:54.133 --> 00:07:56.908 So they knew each other. So again, playing mother and daughter. 00:07:58.118 --> 00:08:03.938 The film starred David Bowie and was written by a future fringe showrunner J.H. Wyman. 00:08:04.646 --> 00:08:11.287 Just a little side tidbit. I already mentioned that she was Ali and Bane so, 00:08:11.734 --> 00:08:13.481 different character than Cassandra. 00:08:14.021 --> 00:08:18.248 Not much more about this right? It's mostly, I think with the exception of that 00:08:18.248 --> 00:08:20.790 one little scene, it's mostly standing sets. 00:08:21.649 --> 00:08:26.038 They go off planet but it's barely there. They went to the forest probably for 00:08:26.038 --> 00:08:30.734 like three hours just to shoot walking up to a tree and then they were like, okay, let's go back. 00:08:33.716 --> 00:08:34.116 yeah. 00:08:35.481 --> 00:08:40.836 You know and they probably filmed it just along with another one of their. 00:08:40.836 --> 00:08:46.176 Outdoor probably here okay let's just yeah let's do exactly exactly i mean last 00:08:46.176 --> 00:08:49.176 time they were like last time they were in a forest so it might have been that 00:08:49.176 --> 00:08:50.602 they just tacked it on at the end, 00:08:51.696 --> 00:08:55.336 that it's a tiny scene right they walk up they have the little campfire and 00:08:55.336 --> 00:09:01.436 then rings and done like and then we don't see anything on the planet anymore and it's a. 00:09:01.436 --> 00:09:02.656 Super tight shot. 00:09:02.656 --> 00:09:06.351 So it's very possible the camera is. 00:09:06.836 --> 00:09:09.006 Sitting on the pavement in the. 00:09:09.006 --> 00:09:14.086 Parking lot it could be, yes, it's entirely possible so as I said, 00:09:14.086 --> 00:09:18.116 that was it and other than that, it was mostly the inside was for sure a studio set, 00:09:20.156 --> 00:09:26.126 the lab and the rest is standing sets so it's not a complicated episode from 00:09:26.126 --> 00:09:30.384 that perspective the set was a new design so we hadn't seen that before so, 00:09:32.566 --> 00:09:37.116 I knew there were probably some elements that they were used from other sets 00:09:37.116 --> 00:09:44.634 before yeah I have said a couple other little things but not too much in the for later section. 00:09:46.597 --> 00:09:54.312 Okay. That sounds good. Then I guess it's time to hop in to the episode. 00:09:54.614 --> 00:09:54.950 Yes. 00:09:56.297 --> 00:09:58.763 Okay, so it starts with... 00:09:59.954 --> 00:10:02.764 It starts with a birthday cake. 00:10:03.066 --> 00:10:04.314 Thank you, birthday cake. 00:10:04.546 --> 00:10:04.783 Yes. 00:10:06.154 --> 00:10:09.828 And it's for Cassandra because it's her birthday. 00:10:10.008 --> 00:10:12.272 Yeah. Did you count the candles? 00:10:14.107 --> 00:10:15.030 I did not. 00:10:15.256 --> 00:10:22.623 Yeah, you should have. There is a little thing that, well, was interesting. 00:10:23.783 --> 00:10:28.013 She's, according to, like,

let's say, according to the timeline, 00:10:28.013 --> 00:10:32.561 she should be 16. And that kind of would make more sense from, like, everything. 00:10:33.228 --> 00:10:35.544 But there's only 14 candles on the cake. 00:10:38.377 --> 00:10:43.216 So, it's like either someone in the production site just effed up and thought 00:10:43.216 --> 00:10:47.856 14 looked better than 16, or just forgot, like, ah, 14 is fine, 00:10:47.856 --> 00:10:49.826 it's good enough. Or they just messed up the time. 00:10:49.826 --> 00:10:51.786 How many candles do we have? 14, put them on. 00:10:51.826 --> 00:10:56.516 Yeah, or they just messed up and didn't remember that she's supposed to be 16, 00:10:56.516 --> 00:10:58.903 because she was 12 four years ago. 00:10:59.692 --> 00:11:02.066 Mm-hmm. Yeah, okay. 00:11:02.409 --> 00:11:06.519 Yeah. So, nope, I did not count the candles. The story makes more sense if she's 16. 00:11:07.986 --> 00:11:11.186 yeah she's also the actress looks a little bit older i mean she was probably 00:11:11.186 --> 00:11:15.516 18 older because she looks a little bit older yeah there's so many there's so 00:11:15.516 --> 00:11:22.215 many things where i'm like that's not a 14 year old oh yeah oh absolutely not a 14 year old um. 00:11:22.529 --> 00:11:27.396 Okay before i even get into what's happening yeah one thing that i liked with 00:11:27.396 --> 00:11:34.185 this scene is that even though sam and janet are not a couple. 00:11:34.667 --> 00:11:35.079 Yes. 00:11:35.375 --> 00:11:38.688 I like this whole thing with Cassandra having two moms. 00:11:38.821 --> 00:11:44.051 Yes, I love that. Yes, I think it works really well. Both are great. 00:11:45.186 --> 00:11:50.640 It's also very clear that Frasier is the, let's say, primary mom, 00:11:51.470 --> 00:11:54.756 right? Because Cassandra's off-world quite a lot. 00:11:56.226 --> 00:11:59.476 So that kind of makes sense that she can't be there full-time. 00:11:59.476 --> 00:12:02.906 But I get the sense that she is quite involved as much as she can. 00:12:03.713 --> 00:12:10.592 but she's not the she's not the fun aunt that comes by whatever twice a year or once a year that's it, 00:12:11.546 --> 00:12:15.433 like she seems to I mean they have later we learn they have like every second 00:12:15.845 --> 00:12:20.031 when she's on planet every second Saturday they have a chess game stuff like that so, 00:12:22.226 --> 00:12:22.614 yeah. 00:12:23.682 --> 00:12:25.016 Yeah so anyhow I just. 00:12:25.016 --> 00:12:31.745 Really enjoyed that dynamic by the way other thing this is the only time we see Frasier's house, 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.686 We never go back to that. This is Frasier's house. I mean, for sure it's not, 00:12:39.406 --> 00:12:41.844 it's not Terrell Rothery's house. 00:12:42.331 --> 00:12:42.987 Right, right. 00:12:43.427 --> 00:12:46.099 But this is the only time in the show we see that. 00:12:48.955 --> 00:12:50.894 Just that. Huh. Okay. 00:12:51.947 --> 00:12:57.906 Now we've seen most people's houses. Well, except for Teal, because he doesn't have one. 00:12:58.742 --> 00:13:03.287 Yeah, well, his house is a standing set. It's called Stargate Command. 00:13:03.287 --> 00:13:05.499 Well, yeah, I know his actual house burnt down. 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.567 That's true. Yeah. 00:13:10.707 --> 00:13:10.777 Yes. 00:13:10.777 --> 00:13:16.357 We've seen that one, but it's burnt down. Yes. Actually, then we've seen actually 00:13:16.357 --> 00:13:19.541 all of them because we've seen Ketilk's house as well. 00:13:20.023 --> 00:13:22.047 Yeah. Okay. You're right. Yeah. 00:13:25.083 --> 00:13:26.989 Back to the cake. So we get cake. 00:13:27.935 --> 00:13:35.951 And yeah, so Cassandra has a birthday cake, but Cassandra is being straight up teenager. 00:13:36.154 --> 00:13:42.023 Which I will say is straight up the most believable part of this episode. 00:13:43.023 --> 00:13:47.543 Yes. I mean, it's a sci-fi show. There's all kinds of not believable things happening. 00:13:47.903 --> 00:13:48.103 Yes. 00:13:49.283 --> 00:13:49.633 Yeah. 00:13:52.823 --> 00:13:53.865 They're making comments. 00:13:54.202 --> 00:13:59.223 Yeah, she doesn't want to spend her birthday with her moms. 00:13:59.963 --> 00:14:03.763 That's embarrassing and all that kid stuff and all of that. 00:14:04.663 --> 00:14:06.247 She wants to spend it with her friends. 00:14:07.722 --> 00:14:14.163 Yeah, and she has a boyfriend and they want to meet him and she doesn't want that. 00:14:14.850 --> 00:14:21.619 Yeah, Sam baked and then bought a cake. It's also like that interaction. 00:14:22.025 --> 00:14:28.863 like fraser says sam baked and then cassie being a teenager he's like bought, 00:14:30.643 --> 00:14:35.663 and then and then fraser's like okay brought a cake brought a cake, 00:14:38.763 --> 00:14:41.043 and cassandra ends. 00:14:41.043 --> 00:14:41.983 Up storming off. 00:14:41.983 --> 00:14:43.393 Because yeah. 00:14:43.393 --> 00:14:44.669 You know she's a teenager. 00:14:44.872 --> 00:14:46.903 And fraser's like you You are. 00:14:47.363 --> 00:14:50.091 That child is going to eat a piece of cake. So help me. 00:14:50.271 --> 00:14:55.383 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, there was like, she mentions that she hasn't been 00:14:55.383 --> 00:14:59.183 feeling, like she's basically being mom. She's like, well, I mean, 00:14:59.183 --> 00:15:02.583 you haven't been feeling well, so maybe you can't go out at all. 00:15:03.670 --> 00:15:07.678 So being like, hey, do at least the minimum we ask you to, and then you can 00:15:07.678 --> 00:15:11.148 go with your friends. If not, then you will not be with your friends. 00:15:11.148 --> 00:15:14.107 So you got only that choice, basically. 00:15:14.804 --> 00:15:17.758 I like that. It's very, very, very mom, right? 00:15:18.498 --> 00:15:20.226 Yeah, totally believable. 00:15:20.406 --> 00:15:23.999 Yeah. Carter wants to meet Cassandra's boyfriend, by the way. 00:15:24.851 --> 00:15:27.138 She's like,

bring him in. I want to meet him. 00:15:28.418 --> 00:15:32.640 And she really, she's not feeling that. 00:15:33.121 --> 00:15:33.330 No. 00:15:33.436 --> 00:15:39.398 But anyhow, so she goes out to the porch, front porch, where her boyfriend is waiting. Yeah. 00:15:40.078 --> 00:15:45.218 And she's angry, and she tells him, you know, my mom won't let me go out. 00:15:46.206 --> 00:15:47.385 Yeah, go without me. 00:15:49.258 --> 00:15:55.088 And so they have a nice little exchange, and he gives her a birthday present. 00:15:55.088 --> 00:15:56.308 Yeah, that was really cute. 00:15:56.308 --> 00:16:00.242 Yeah, and it's a prism And it's because, 00:16:01.358 --> 00:16:07.328 She had commented In school about how she thought The prisms that he was Using 00:16:07.328 --> 00:16:12.878 for some project Were very pretty So he got her one And, 00:16:14.458 --> 00:16:15.088 She uses it. 00:16:15.088 --> 00:16:18.938 There's like a light above them And she uses it to break the light apart Onto 00:16:18.938 --> 00:16:24.391 him You know, it's kind of romantic I liked it, it's a really nice scene. 00:16:25.617 --> 00:16:26.058 And then they. 00:16:26.058 --> 00:16:30.821 Kiss Or a teenager, of course But then they kiss I mean, wow, what a kiss. 00:16:33.046 --> 00:16:37.508 It felt like a very grown-up kiss happening Not a teenager kiss Both. 00:16:37.508 --> 00:16:38.418 Of them are grown-ups. 00:16:39.438 --> 00:16:47.148 That's true Yeah And then all of a sudden the light explodes And Cassie goes 00:16:47.148 --> 00:16:50.136 kind of rigid And just falls over backwards unconscious. 00:16:50.390 --> 00:16:57.607 Yeah Yeah And he calls the moms, basically. 00:16:58.958 --> 00:16:59.198 Mm-hmm. 00:16:59.198 --> 00:17:00.689 And they're open up. Yeah. 00:17:02.087 --> 00:17:08.202 And, uh, so they, so they ask what happened. He tells them and, 00:17:08.202 --> 00:17:12.922 uh, and Frazier's like, yeah, I got to get her to the, the infirmary and she's 00:17:12.922 --> 00:17:15.235 got a temperature and something's really wrong. 00:17:15.584 --> 00:17:15.812 Yeah. 00:17:16.192 --> 00:17:18.991 And, uh, yeah. So, wow. 00:17:19.322 --> 00:17:22.259 I guess that's quite a kiss. Yeah. That was quite a kiss. 00:17:22.753 --> 00:17:26.892 I think a lot of, a lot of teenage girls would like to have a kiss like that 00:17:26.892 --> 00:17:31.772 where like literally the lights blow out and you fall, you like, you end up unconscious. 00:17:31.772 --> 00:17:32.719 Knocked you off your feet. 00:17:32.916 --> 00:17:37.636 Knocked you off your feet. The kiss was that good, right? He must be a phenomenal kisser. 00:17:38.837 --> 00:17:40.312 It's apparently. 00:17:40.692 --> 00:17:45.892 Yeah. I have to say, he's cute, right? I mean, for a teenage boy, right? 00:17:46.072 --> 00:17:49.972 It's like, I can see that. Like, the casting was really done well. 00:17:49.972 --> 00:17:52.485 Like, it's believable, the two together. 00:17:53.895 --> 00:18:02.312 Yeah. Yeah. So, I take it you liked the intro, just based on what you've been saying. 00:18:02.312 --> 00:18:07.392 Yeah, it's fun. We get to see a little bit behind the scenes of Frasier and 00:18:07.392 --> 00:18:10.527 Carter, which we knew are good friends. That was very clear. 00:18:11.432 --> 00:18:17.551 We know that Frasier basically took on the mom role and Carter from the get-go basically as well, 00:18:18.392 --> 00:18:26.762 but that Carter is not in a position to be like a full-time mom because she 00:18:26.762 --> 00:18:31.162 spends time off-world for probably days, weeks, sometimes. 00:18:31.162 --> 00:18:34.117 A lot, right? She spends a lot of time off-world. 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.803 So it's hard to have a home life if I give you that. 00:18:39.289 --> 00:18:44.072 So yeah, I like that. And then the whole, I mean, very typical teenage story. 00:18:44.492 --> 00:18:49.852 This is kind of what you would expect, but also I think realistic, right? 00:18:50.510 --> 00:18:52.931 This is what happens. 00:18:54.632 --> 00:18:59.386 Maybe not the lights exploding, but you wish it was. 00:19:00.547 --> 00:19:01.255 Yeah. 00:19:03.782 --> 00:19:07.014 It might feel like it sometimes. Just think if it's good. 00:19:07.902 --> 00:19:12.342 Yeah. So, yeah, I enjoyed it. And, 00:19:15.524 --> 00:19:22.192 it was very clear that we were going to be doing a Cassandra and Frasier-heavy 00:19:22.192 --> 00:19:27.962 episode by the time we got to the end of the—well, I mean, when we saw them 00:19:27.962 --> 00:19:29.890 at the beginning, it was like, okay. 00:19:30.105 --> 00:19:34.046 But by the time we get to the end of the teaser, it was like, yeah, oh, absolutely. 00:19:34.546 --> 00:19:40.176 Yeah. I just want to read your comments that you texted me. You said OMG, Cassandra. 00:19:40.618 --> 00:19:44.462 so you were pretty surprised and happy about that I guess that boy can really 00:19:44.462 --> 00:19:47.972 kiss since Cassandra passed out and then you said this is an emo Cassandra episode 00:19:47.972 --> 00:19:52.712 and she has two moms, Sam and Janet so that was really good the other stuff 00:19:52.712 --> 00:19:54.242 I'll not read because we'll get to that, 00:19:55.113 --> 00:19:59.327 but I like that I liked your commentary there you were absolutely right. 00:20:00.588 --> 00:20:04.932 Yeah, which, when we talk about my predictions, we can laugh about, 00:20:07.392 --> 00:20:11.202 how I could be so wrong and yet totally on the right track. 00:20:11.202 --> 00:20:12.320 Yes, exactly. 00:20:13.219 --> 00:20:19.518 Yeah. All right. So, when we come back from the opening credits, 00:20:21.692 --> 00:20:28.892 we're in the infirmary. Cassandra, she's there in the infirmary. and. 00:20:30.963 --> 00:20:34.112 Jack comes in to check up on them to on. 00:20:34.112 --> 00:20:34.974 Sam and. 00:20:35.125 --> 00:20:38.121 Cassie mostly on Sam but also Cassie. 00:20:40.032 --> 00:20:47.712 But you know Jack is the kind of guy that he genuinely cares even

though sometimes he puts on that, 00:20:50.652 --> 00:20:58.442 facade of indifference yeah exactly but he's the softy on the inside and so I. 00:20:58.442 --> 00:21:00.296 Think he said as much at some point. 00:21:01.672 --> 00:21:10.412 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, like, even in the last episode, he talks about how he uses jokes to— Yeah. 00:21:11.395 --> 00:21:13.802 Deflect from his heroism. Yes, exactly. 00:21:13.802 --> 00:21:14.632 Yeah. Yes. 00:21:15.012 --> 00:21:16.212 Yes. Yes. 00:21:17.455 --> 00:21:25.674 All right. So, Jack is used as the tool for us to get some exposition about Cassandra's status. 00:21:26.167 --> 00:21:30.126 Yeah. She has a fever. It isn't coming down. She has a retrovirus. 00:21:30.312 --> 00:21:31.479 They don't know what it is. 00:21:32.252 --> 00:21:35.136 And she's emitting this electromagnetic field. 00:21:35.403 --> 00:21:41.222 Yeah. By the way, retrovirus. Frazier, this time and then also later on, 00:21:41.222 --> 00:21:46.589 claims that the retrovirus rewrites an individual's DNA in order to replicate. 00:21:47.466 --> 00:21:49.376 That is, in fact, not correct. Right. 00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:55.994 Retroviruses make DNA copies of their own RNA genomes to replicate, 00:21:55.994 --> 00:21:57.862 but do not change the host's DNA. 00:21:59.331 --> 00:21:59.724 Oh. 00:22:00.266 --> 00:22:06.013 So this is scientifically not correct. This is regarded as a goof, 00:22:06.135 --> 00:22:07.650 a factual error in this case. 00:22:07.894 --> 00:22:08.294 All right. 00:22:08.294 --> 00:22:09.234 And she claims that twice. 00:22:09.234 --> 00:22:10.128 That's a legit proof. 00:22:10.442 --> 00:22:14.476 Which I mean for but I think it's a goof that, 00:22:16.584 --> 00:22:25.023 I would say is within the realms of a writer playing fast and loose with something for the sake of a story, 00:22:26.399 --> 00:22:30.224 right it's science fiction and this is maybe a fiction part but it's okay but 00:22:30.224 --> 00:22:33.984 I just wanted to mention that it's not that people don't think it's real but 00:22:34.324 --> 00:22:38.374 I think it's consistent with the story they want to tell, 00:22:39.976 --> 00:22:41.294 So, it's okay. 00:22:43.721 --> 00:22:50.652 Yeah, I mean, it wasn't one of those things that I even realized in the moment. 00:22:51.116 --> 00:22:54.224 So, clearly, it's not a problem for the story. 00:22:54.224 --> 00:23:02.084 Yeah, as I said, sometimes the writer has to take some liberty to tell the story. 00:23:02.084 --> 00:23:04.410 And I think in this case, that's exactly what they did. 00:23:06.824 --> 00:23:07.564 Yeah, cool. 00:23:07.564 --> 00:23:10.674 Yeah, Sam needs to get tested as well, she says, because, yeah, 00:23:10.674 --> 00:23:12.055 you know, they've been exposed. 00:23:13.193 --> 00:23:14.203 Yeah, that's true. 00:23:16.438 --> 00:23:21.365 And I believe this is where Cassandra wakes up kind of delirious, 00:23:21.916 --> 00:23:24.724 and she's talking about how she needs to go to the

forest. 00:23:24.724 --> 00:23:28.464 Yeah, she couldn't finish the harvest, she says, first, and then she has to 00:23:28.464 --> 00:23:31.820 go to the forest, she also says. Yes. 00:23:32.844 --> 00:23:37.375 Frazier also mentions she can't do an MRI because of the electromagnetic spikes. Thank you. 00:23:40.183 --> 00:23:41.880 I could see where that could be an issue. 00:23:42.385 --> 00:23:45.323 Yeah, especially for a doctor. MRI might be quite important. 00:23:47.003 --> 00:23:53.693 Yeah. Yeah. So we've gotten our pre-exposition. 00:23:53.995 --> 00:23:54.283 Yes. 00:23:56.055 --> 00:23:59.953 And this is great because I'm actually remembering, don't worry, 00:23:59.953 --> 00:24:01.803 I will totally mess up the chain of events. 00:24:02.483 --> 00:24:02.703 Yes. 00:24:03.043 --> 00:24:06.163 But this first part, I mean, it's a very logical progression. 00:24:06.163 --> 00:24:06.574 Yes. 00:24:06.783 --> 00:24:12.565 So, you know, we've gone from, we need to show Cassandra has a problem. 00:24:13.643 --> 00:24:19.582 Then we need to establish the basis, you know, the basic parts of what this problem is. 00:24:19.964 --> 00:24:24.533 Okay, now that we've done that, let's dive deeper into the whole thing because 00:24:24.533 --> 00:24:26.783 our audience has all the background that they need. 00:24:27.557 --> 00:24:29.533 So that takes us to the exposition room. 00:24:29.533 --> 00:24:32.504 Exactly. And Hammond is there and the team's, of course, there. 00:24:32.851 --> 00:24:36.817 I got a bunch of quotes here because they're quite interesting in itself. 00:24:38.041 --> 00:24:38.323 Okay. 00:24:38.783 --> 00:24:42.151 First thing, remember, so cardinal needs to be tested. 00:24:43.243 --> 00:24:48.316 Apparently, Fraser, of course, as well. They show no evidence of the retrovirus. 00:24:49.489 --> 00:24:54.329 So they think maybe she got it from the planet, which was a couple years ago. 00:24:54.922 --> 00:24:58.873 And then Fraser says the retrovirus can exist in the body for years undetected 00:24:58.873 --> 00:25:00.698 before the symptoms ever appear. 00:25:01.208 --> 00:25:04.713 and it does emerge, it starts to rewrite the individual's DNA in order to replicate. 00:25:04.713 --> 00:25:10.660 I've compared this one with every retrovisor on record and it doesn't match any of them. 00:25:11.165 --> 00:25:17.463 Again, the claim of the retrovivers rewriting things, but also she says Carter 00:25:17.463 --> 00:25:21.763 and I show no evidence of it, but she tested Kathy back in the day as well, right? 00:25:22.070 --> 00:25:24.752 So it was clearly hidden. So how does she know? 00:25:25.861 --> 00:25:28.775 It takes four years to actually materialize. 00:25:30.546 --> 00:25:30.847 Yeah. 00:25:31.451 --> 00:25:32.270 You never know. 00:25:33.471 --> 00:25:38.916 So maybe in four years we get emo episodes of Sam and Janet. 00:25:39.207 --> 00:25:40.460 Could be, yes. 00:25:42.790 --> 00:25:45.160 She's been giving Cassie antiviral 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:49.447 medications, but it's spread to her cerebral spinal fluid already. 00:25:51.010 --> 00:25:54.781 She's more concerned about brain damage right now, which, oh, this is bad. 00:25:55.594 --> 00:25:55.810 Mm-hmm. 00:25:56.170 --> 00:26:00.569 Yeah. So those were some quotes. And then we get something fun, 00:26:00.749 --> 00:26:03.106 because there's something I want to mention there. 00:26:04.655 --> 00:26:05.903 Remember what happened? 00:26:07.406 --> 00:26:09.548 Well, Daniel comes in with a report. 00:26:09.775 --> 00:26:15.383 Yes. And he's kind of more talking with himself. It's like he doesn't even look at the others. 00:26:16.728 --> 00:26:20.826 Yeah. Yeah. And I did catch the cameo. 00:26:21.099 --> 00:26:22.863 You did catch the cameo. Okay, good. 00:26:23.323 --> 00:26:25.543 He hands off the documents he has. 00:26:25.543 --> 00:26:29.893 No, I think it's a tape. It's not the documents. He keeps the documents in his 00:26:29.893 --> 00:26:31.025 hand. He hands off the tape. 00:26:31.565 --> 00:26:32.843 Oh, hands off the tape. Okay. 00:26:32.843 --> 00:26:33.183 Yes. 00:26:33.183 --> 00:26:40.255 Yeah. Yeah, and the soldier he hands it to is Peter DeLuise. 00:26:40.395 --> 00:26:41.703 Correct, yes. 00:26:41.703 --> 00:26:43.373 I totally recognize this. 00:26:43.373 --> 00:26:49.265 He was front and center on screen, like sitting at his desk in the exposition room. 00:26:50.106 --> 00:26:53.862 I don't remember there ever being a desk, but I guess they put it there for him. 00:26:55.325 --> 00:26:57.183 I've seen a desk in there occasionally. 00:26:57.183 --> 00:27:00.904 Ah, okay, so maybe it's always been there, and I just missed it, yeah. Okay. 00:27:01.008 --> 00:27:06.819 Yeah, I have a feeling it's one of those set pieces that's there when they need it for the episode. 00:27:07.074 --> 00:27:07.573 Sure, sure. 00:27:07.573 --> 00:27:10.663 And then the rest of the time it's out, which probably gives them more room for cameras and stuff. 00:27:10.663 --> 00:27:13.824 Yeah, I mean, that makes sense, as I said. I just don't remember seeing it there. Yes. 00:27:15.061 --> 00:27:19.683 Yeah. So he has gotten a report. He has reviewed the reports from SG-7 from 00:27:19.683 --> 00:27:24.848 P8X987. That was the planet Cassandra was on, just as my aside. 00:27:26.108 --> 00:27:26.648 Mm-hmm. 00:27:27.031 --> 00:27:29.893 Yeah. So he says, in the three months on Cassandra's planet, 00:27:29.893 --> 00:27:36.388 S.G. Zyman witnessed two instances of high fever and hallucination in teenagers Cassandra's age. 00:27:37.178 --> 00:27:41.671 The villagers called it mind fire, and I found some digital video footage. 00:27:42.844 --> 00:27:43.616 And he shows it. 00:27:44.975 --> 00:27:50.774 Yeah, and it's a teenage girl laying on the ground having seizures. 00:27:51.001 --> 00:27:57.019 Correct, yes. SG7 offered medicine, but the village elders believed that these 00:27:57.019 --> 00:28:00.968 children were

touched by the gods and that interfering would tempt retribution. 00:28:01.409 --> 00:28:06.163 And they were sent alone into a forest near the village, and after several days they came back cured. 00:28:06.755 --> 00:28:11.009 SG7 tried to find out, but the elders insisted the child had to make the journey 00:28:11.009 --> 00:28:14.330 alone as some sort of religious rite. 00:28:16.030 --> 00:28:21.029 that was his exposition it's probably also the only thing he ever says in this 00:28:21.029 --> 00:28:23.705 episode as far as I remember, more or less, 00:28:27.356 --> 00:28:32.151 don't think there's much more I mean, no, there's a scene in the lab later where he has some lines, 00:28:34.502 --> 00:28:37.989 but it's yeah oh yeah. 00:28:37.989 --> 00:28:44.029 That's right yes, he's part of the moral dilemma debate later on yes, 00:28:44.029 --> 00:28:46.344 exactly Yeah, that's right. 00:28:49.438 --> 00:28:53.432 So, anyhow, they decide that they should go back to the planet. 00:28:53.716 --> 00:28:57.728 Yeah, there's a brief discussion whether it's poisoned, right? 00:28:59.823 --> 00:29:04.502 Yeah, and Sam's like, yeah, maybe not. You know, it's been four years. Let's send a MALP. 00:29:04.746 --> 00:29:07.431 Let's send a MALP. We never see the MALP, by the way. 00:29:08.697 --> 00:29:13.119 No, we don't. But we presume that they sent it and it worked because they go back to the planet. 00:29:13.679 --> 00:29:16.499 The next thing we see is SGC actually going. 00:29:19.663 --> 00:29:25.240 Yeah, and so they're there on the planet, and then very quickly they're in the 00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:28.631 forest in the close, tight scene. 00:29:28.939 --> 00:29:31.174 Yeah, and there's a glowing handprint on a tree. 00:29:32.219 --> 00:29:32.730 Yeah. 00:29:35.086 --> 00:29:39.249 And so, of course, Daniel touches it. 00:29:39.411 --> 00:29:43.562 Yeah, first, it's really funny. Teal gets another line, a fire burned here. 00:29:45.410 --> 00:29:49.071 I'm like, great. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah. 00:29:49.506 --> 00:29:54.034 Yeah. So push the button, and then the fire lights up. 00:29:54.307 --> 00:29:54.550 Yeah. 00:29:55.770 --> 00:30:00.826 And they're standing there looking at it, and Jack is standing with Teal'c. 00:30:01.215 --> 00:30:01.563 Yeah. 00:30:01.830 --> 00:30:06.148 And they get ringed into a ghouled room. 00:30:06.496 --> 00:30:09.840 Yeah. And Teal'c, like he says, is near Tease, of course. 00:30:10.977 --> 00:30:12.173 Of course, because... 00:30:12.910 --> 00:30:13.570 He has to say something. 00:30:13.570 --> 00:30:16.840 Okay, this is how sad it is. 00:30:17.090 --> 00:30:25.140 Like, the lines that they're giving Teal'c are so throwaway that we actually 00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:27.820 forget he even has lines in an episode. 00:30:27.820 --> 00:30:31.179 Yeah, well, I know that especially for that, because now I'm, 00:30:31.306 --> 00:30:33.785 you know, since we talk about it, I'm tuned to that. 00:30:33.994 --> 00:30:36.676 I'm like, okay, what stupid line does Teal'c say this time? 00:30:38.312 --> 00:30:45.162 Basically that yeah yeah yeah he's he gets to say the lines for the slow audience 00:30:45.162 --> 00:30:50.787 members who who don't pick up right away on what's going on yeah exactly, 00:30:53.057 --> 00:30:54.682 yeah anyhow so um um, 00:30:57.402 --> 00:31:03.432 they're um they're looking around the the lab and then the rings kick on again 00:31:03.432 --> 00:31:08.522 and now it's now so now the whole team is in in the room yeah yeah and um and 00:31:08.522 --> 00:31:11.765 they find a tablet you know one of those pdas like, 00:31:13.623 --> 00:31:16.382 a google message. 00:31:16.382 --> 00:31:17.512 Pad yes exactly. 00:31:17.866 --> 00:31:19.942 And daniel's reading it and um, 00:31:22.220 --> 00:31:28.065 and he deduces oh the kids all the teenagers this is where they show up this is where they go to. 00:31:30.178 --> 00:31:32.862 And so obviously experiments are being done on them. 00:31:32.862 --> 00:31:35.692 Yeah, they're like, why would you need to cure a bunch of kids? 00:31:35.692 --> 00:31:40.105 That makes no sense, right? Because schools don't do shit like that. They don't care. 00:31:41.382 --> 00:31:48.255 Humans are disposable. Teenagers even probably more so because they're useless, right? So why? 00:31:49.302 --> 00:31:51.163 So it must be some sort of experiment. 00:31:52.302 --> 00:31:57.206 And then the writers establish the running joke for this episode, 00:31:57.537 --> 00:32:01.698 which is Daniel activating something and saying, oh, I think I did that. 00:32:02.029 --> 00:32:02.935 Yeah, exactly. 00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:04.212 Or, oh, that was me. 00:32:04.636 --> 00:32:05.611 Yeah, exactly. 00:32:07.142 --> 00:32:13.142 Because he does that and then he discovers this rack appears. 00:32:13.142 --> 00:32:15.292 Rack of glass cube sticks of some sort. 00:32:15.292 --> 00:32:19.662 Yeah, with little colored dots inside. And they're like, oh, what is this? 00:32:20.202 --> 00:32:20.642 Nobody knows. 00:32:20.642 --> 00:32:22.282 Jack's like, well, let's just take one with us. 00:32:22.282 --> 00:32:23.978 It's like, okay, sure, let's just take one. 00:32:25.568 --> 00:32:29.057 It's totally safe. It might be a bioweapon, but totally safe. 00:32:29.475 --> 00:32:33.908 But whatever. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, there's no precedent on 00:32:33.908 --> 00:32:37.418 this planet for any sort of problems like that. 00:32:37.418 --> 00:32:42.124 No, and also not an SGC for anything that goes wrong if they take something back. 00:32:43.262 --> 00:32:47.500 Right. So, yeah, so they take it back. 00:32:48.754 --> 00:32:52.411 And because the next scene, we are actually back in Stargate Command. 00:32:53.171 --> 00:32:53.398 Yes. 00:32:54.458 --> 00:32:58.048 But now I can't remember, because I know it's a Cassandra scene, 00:32:58.048 --> 00:33:01.728 I can't remember if they're running tests on her, or if this is

where she's 00:33:01.728 --> 00:33:06.918 like, hey, all y'all, I'm going to the forest and I'm getting out of here. 00:33:06.918 --> 00:33:09.328 And actually has to be restrained. 00:33:09.328 --> 00:33:14.376 The latter one. She's trying to get to the forest, and Fraser is trying to stop her, basically. 00:33:15.397 --> 00:33:20.024 Like, she talks to her, she's like, look, you're sick, and please go back. 00:33:20.658 --> 00:33:25.811 And Kathy throws out the quintessential line that every teenager uses at some point. 00:33:26.589 --> 00:33:29.628 You're not my mother, or you're the worst mother ever, or something like that, 00:33:29.628 --> 00:33:32.878 right? She says, you're not my mother, right? But there is always a variant 00:33:32.878 --> 00:33:34.374 of that, depending on the situation. 00:33:35.001 --> 00:33:40.782 Right. And she even starts referring to Dr. Frazier as Janet instead of mom. 00:33:41.003 --> 00:33:42.239 A little bit later, yes. 00:33:42.958 --> 00:33:46.558 Oh, well, okay. I'm on brand. Yeah. 00:33:47.578 --> 00:33:52.799 And Frasier says, I care about what happens to you, honey. Don't you know what you mean to me? 00:33:53.762 --> 00:33:57.128 But, of course, Teenager doesn't. She doesn't care. She doesn't. 00:33:57.128 --> 00:33:59.693 Well, she doesn't care in that situation. She does care. But, 00:33:59.873 --> 00:34:04.279 like, it's being overwritten. It's being overwritten by the other stuff. 00:34:04.824 --> 00:34:07.680 So she pushes Frasier away and tries to run. 00:34:09.498 --> 00:34:15.900 And there's guards. And they grab her. And she starts making all the lights. 00:34:16.658 --> 00:34:18.042 in the hallway explode. 00:34:19.859 --> 00:34:22.030 Yeah. But they've got her. 00:34:22.396 --> 00:34:26.947 Yeah, and then we switch to Carter because Carter is back. It's only Carter who comes back. 00:34:29.618 --> 00:34:29.903 Oh. 00:34:30.645 --> 00:34:31.562 Yeah, Sony Carter. 00:34:32.282 --> 00:34:33.783 Oh, okay, okay. 00:34:33.783 --> 00:34:38.493 Yeah, yeah. She is back to report back, which I'm like, okay, 00:34:38.493 --> 00:34:41.779 they just radio. No, Carter needed to be there. That's why. 00:34:42.818 --> 00:34:46.843 Yeah. Usually they would just radio. Hey, Jen, this is what's happening. 00:34:46.843 --> 00:34:48.786 No, Carter has to be back. 00:34:49.952 --> 00:34:55.493 Yeah, well, I mean, I guess if they wanted to send back the potential bio warfare 00:34:55.493 --> 00:34:57.126 device, someone had to take it. 00:34:57.718 --> 00:35:02.478 Yeah. yeah and we get we get another interesting scene so 00:35:02.902 --> 00:35:07.543 um frasier's dot sam like the fever seems to have peaked but their blood work 00:35:07.543 --> 00:35:11.093 says otherwise there's no antibodies no indications that our body's fighting 00:35:11.093 --> 00:35:14.158 the thing it's just more retrovivors that's bad, 00:35:15.238 --> 00:35:23.763 um and kathy has been moved to a kind of a lab some sort isolation oh yeah.

00:35:23.763 --> 00:35:25.251 It's like a faraday cage. 00:35:25.454 --> 00:35:32.723 Yeah yeah um She asks why they're keeping them here, but she means why they're 00:35:32.723 --> 00:35:35.393 keeping them on the planet, not in this lab. 00:35:35.393 --> 00:35:36.753 Not why in this lab. 00:35:36.753 --> 00:35:40.913 Yeah. And she's like, if you let me go back to the planet, then that won't happen 00:35:40.913 --> 00:35:45.261 anymore. She's like about the EM field spiking and interfering with things and so on. 00:35:48.263 --> 00:35:50.706 And she's like, you don't know that. You don't know anything. 00:35:50.875 --> 00:35:54.681 You're just keeping me here because you're afraid. Also very teenager. 00:35:56.063 --> 00:36:03.522 Yeah. So teenager. I mean, yeah, all the Cassandra being the emo teenager thing, 00:36:03.818 --> 00:36:05.403 I mean, they're absolutely nailing it. 00:36:05.723 --> 00:36:10.314 Yeah, yeah. And it's also well played by the actors. It's just totally believable. 00:36:10.761 --> 00:36:14.035 Yeah. And then Carter reports what she's found, basically. 00:36:15.701 --> 00:36:20.767 Yeah. So, all right. So then that means we go back to the planet. 00:36:20.767 --> 00:36:22.747 And the funny thing is, in my mind. 00:36:22.747 --> 00:36:27.337 Not quite. Frasier has a couple more things. She basically figured out a way 00:36:27.337 --> 00:36:32.247 to, like, at least do an EEG about Kathy's brain, which I'm like, 00:36:32.247 --> 00:36:34.904 it's also electrical. Okay, but fine. 00:36:37.247 --> 00:36:41.806 Basically, it's changing the way her cells generate fields, electrical fields. 00:36:42.381 --> 00:36:46.607 The body is also generating heat, and the EEG is showing that the brain activity is increasing. 00:36:47.767 --> 00:36:51.564 They just don't know why, and they can't stop it yet, at least. 00:36:52.242 --> 00:36:52.787 Yet. 00:36:53.495 --> 00:36:54.710 And then we go to the planet. 00:36:55.400 --> 00:37:00.392 Okay. And so in my mind, they had all left, and now they all went back. 00:37:00.520 --> 00:37:05.307 But I was wrong. It was only Sam that went back. Everyone else stayed behind. 00:37:05.747 --> 00:37:09.757 The other three stayed behind. And from a writing perspective, 00:37:09.757 --> 00:37:11.405 for a reason, the test happened that way. 00:37:12.891 --> 00:37:15.597 Yeah Carter might. 00:37:15.597 --> 00:37:16.207 Have been able. 00:37:16.727 --> 00:37:18.046 To Sense Nearty, 00:37:21.110 --> 00:37:25.397 Oh my god I had forgotten about that part I thought it was about Sam needed 00:37:25.397 --> 00:37:30.877 to have the interactions With Cassandra I mean that too But I think she also for that. 00:37:30.877 --> 00:37:32.057 Plot reason Couldn't be. 00:37:32.057 --> 00:37:38.437 On the planet You're right she could not be on the planet Yeah okay so They're 00:37:38.437 --> 00:37:46.967 still in the lab And and daniel finds uh like more information yeah and and he goes, 00:37:49.282 --> 00:37:50.027

um he says it's. 00:37:50.527 --> 00:37:53.857 Evolution of the hawk tar and he's. 00:37:53.857 --> 00:37:57.297 Like right and she looks like that's a word i haven't heard in a long time. 00:37:57.297 --> 00:38:01.647 Yeah like she got the hawk tar and she was like i haven't heard this in a long 00:38:01.647 --> 00:38:05.012 time he never even answers like okay does he know it or not. 00:38:06.407 --> 00:38:11.794 Yeah. I'm guessing he knows it, which is why Daniel later on tells us what it means. 00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:12.393 Yeah, of course. 00:38:12.413 --> 00:38:16.965 But he doesn't tell us now because that would be too much of a reveal, 00:38:17.255 --> 00:38:19.863 even for a show that he had this information to us. 00:38:19.863 --> 00:38:22.249 That would also be too many lines for Teok. 00:38:23.853 --> 00:38:26.293 That's a really good point. Yeah. 00:38:26.909 --> 00:38:29.643 Yeah. So, and then something happened. 00:38:30.723 --> 00:38:35.473 Oh, yeah. The rings activate again, but there's no one there. 00:38:35.813 --> 00:38:41.735 Yeah and i'm like hint hint hint right when does that happen yeah and jack's like. 00:38:42.565 --> 00:38:43.628 Time to go kids. 00:38:44.016 --> 00:38:48.513 Yeah and and then he's like no and then he's like i think i did that did do 00:38:48.513 --> 00:38:55.253 that which is you know the joke you had dad set up earlier yeah yeah but we 00:38:55.253 --> 00:38:56.606 see something's watching them. 00:38:57.913 --> 00:39:01.873 Right and so at that point i'm like okay so we've got the invisible person. 00:39:01.873 --> 00:39:05.157 Here yeah yeah and yeah Yeah. 00:39:05.893 --> 00:39:11.073 Which is what we're supposed to deduce. But for the people that are slower with 00:39:11.073 --> 00:39:13.615 picking up on things, oftentimes me, 00:39:16.193 --> 00:39:18.613 then it's like a mystery. Like, what was that? 00:39:18.613 --> 00:39:20.819 Yes. Yes. 00:39:22.717 --> 00:39:33.665 Yeah. Okay, so I think this is where we start seeing Cassandra exhibit her telekinetic powers. 00:39:33.839 --> 00:39:40.087 Correct. So we go back to the infirmary. Carter is there to play chess like 00:39:40.087 --> 00:39:41.479 they do every other Saturday. 00:39:42.517 --> 00:39:46.337 She mentions that. Yeah, so she's setting up the chess board. 00:39:46.817 --> 00:39:50.266 Cassandra's like really not all that excited about this. 00:39:50.777 --> 00:39:51.077 And. 00:39:53.657 --> 00:39:55.891 She actually makes one of the chess pieces move. 00:39:56.042 --> 00:40:03.107 Not quite we get there so it starts with a discussion Cassie says I'm changing 00:40:03.107 --> 00:40:06.847 into something and there's nothing you can do to stop it like she's realizing 00:40:06.847 --> 00:40:08.215 what the situation is right, 00:40:10.377 --> 00:40:14.877 and then there's a discussion about and that's where she says she calls her 00:40:14.877 --> 00:40:18.977 Doc Frazier she says Dr. Frazier isn't my real mother she died when the earthy

00:40:18.977 --> 00:40:22.907 poisoned my village which Carter's like, I know that. Janet knows that too. 00:40:22.907 --> 00:40:25.096 And please don't call her Dr. Frazier. 00:40:26.089 --> 00:40:29.548 And because she wants to be hurtful, right? 00:40:29.978 --> 00:40:33.707 Because I know that's why. And Carter says, because she loves you and she deserves 00:40:33.707 --> 00:40:35.539 better. We all love you for that matter. 00:40:36.456 --> 00:40:40.799 Typical teenager. Like she's being like hurtful for no reason. 00:40:41.697 --> 00:40:43.167 Yeah, for the sake of hurting people. 00:40:43.167 --> 00:40:47.887 Yeah, exactly. And that's when she reveals that she can do things because she 00:40:47.887 --> 00:40:49.406 moves the chess piece with her mind. 00:40:50.405 --> 00:40:51.002 Mm-hmm. 00:40:53.533 --> 00:40:57.167 And she also makes a comment about Jack. 00:40:57.324 --> 00:41:02.473 Yeah. There's like something, Jack called it, I think, forces or something. Yeah. 00:41:05.317 --> 00:41:10.617 Well, they have the meeting about how did she do that, and Jack keeps going, magnets. 00:41:10.617 --> 00:41:16.247 That's later. That's later. In this situation, where we get the comment, 00:41:16.764 --> 00:41:18.662 I think she calls it forces. 00:41:20.433 --> 00:41:23.463 Oh, something like that. No, it's not forces. But it's like... 00:41:25.820 --> 00:41:27.667 Forces, powers, something like that. 00:41:27.667 --> 00:41:32.317 Powers. Yeah, she's like... Let me find... 00:41:36.877 --> 00:41:40.067 Jack calls them horses. Horses. 00:41:40.097 --> 00:41:40.777 Oh, right. 00:41:40.777 --> 00:41:41.907 The chess pieces. 00:41:41.907 --> 00:41:42.677 She calls them horses. 00:41:42.677 --> 00:41:45.479 Horses, exactly. Not forces. Horses, he calls them. 00:41:45.944 --> 00:41:50.420 And Carter says, well, that's good old Neil for you. 00:41:50.774 --> 00:41:55.626 And Cassandra says, yeah, he always pretends he's not as smart as he really is. 00:41:57.377 --> 00:41:59.441 She's a very perceptive person. She's right. 00:41:59.662 --> 00:42:00.417 She is right. 00:42:02.454 --> 00:42:03.437 and Carter, 00:42:05.977 --> 00:42:10.107 she's good she's like I see you and until your head starts spinning around and 00:42:10.107 --> 00:42:12.884 probably even then I will still see you, 00:42:14.633 --> 00:42:17.616 Because Cassandra is kind of concerned that she's changing, right? 00:42:18.335 --> 00:42:18.671 Yeah. 00:42:18.671 --> 00:42:22.521 Which is also, again, a very teenager topic, right? Everything is changing. 00:42:22.521 --> 00:42:24.281 I'm changing. Am I still me? 00:42:25.901 --> 00:42:30.321 Yeah. And she's asking Sam about that. And that was Sam's response. 00:42:30.321 --> 00:42:33.267 What do you see when you look at me now? Yeah, she says. Yeah, exactly. 00:42:34.027 --> 00:42:38.781 Okay. So then now we probably get the magnets lines. 00:42:38.781 --> 00:42:43.591 Yes. So because what we just saw was, of course, also in cameras. 00:42:43.591 --> 00:42:46.241 and Hammond watched this footage, basically. 00:42:46.601 --> 00:42:48.044 Oh, that's right. We got to see, 00:42:48.921 --> 00:42:56.426 a really nice camera shot transition where we're watching from our eyes. 00:42:56.606 --> 00:42:56.861 Yes. 00:42:56.861 --> 00:43:02.266 But then everything changes and it's the exact same thing, but it's on a black and white display. 00:43:02.458 --> 00:43:06.371 Correct. And that's the screen. And it's Hammond watching it and then he's like, 00:43:06.371 --> 00:43:09.923 how can she do that? And that's where we get the magnets thing. 00:43:11.096 --> 00:43:12.561 Mm-hmm. Magnets. 00:43:13.211 --> 00:43:14.981 And Hammond's like, what? 00:43:17.861 --> 00:43:20.685 Like, he doesn't say anything. He just looks. He's, like, confused. 00:43:20.976 --> 00:43:22.560 And Jack is like, magnets. 00:43:22.862 --> 00:43:27.091 Every one of those little pieces has got a little tiny magnet on the bottom 00:43:27.091 --> 00:43:30.501 to hold it to the board, like when you're driving so it doesn't rattle off. 00:43:30.501 --> 00:43:33.967 Anyway, every one of those magnets has a little electrical field around it. 00:43:34.339 --> 00:43:37.183 And that's how she was able to manipulate it. Magnets. 00:43:38.437 --> 00:43:40.701 He is smarter than he looks. Or that he pretends. 00:43:40.701 --> 00:43:42.631 He's a lot smarter than he acts. 00:43:42.631 --> 00:43:44.231 You figured it out, right? 00:43:44.231 --> 00:43:44.827 Mm-hmm. 00:43:47.464 --> 00:43:50.128 Frasier doesn't know how it's possible but it's clearly happening. 00:43:50.488 --> 00:43:53.164 She doesn't know how that can happen. 00:43:55.985 --> 00:43:59.708 And Daniel's like, oh, actually, Teal'c filled me in on something that might explain that. 00:43:59.708 --> 00:44:06.045 So instead of letting Teal'c tell us, Daniel gets to tell us what Teal'c said. 00:44:06.214 --> 00:44:10.458 So Hoc-Tar is actually a hybrid of Togo old worlds. Hoc, which means advanced, 00:44:10.458 --> 00:44:12.971 and Tar, which is, I believe, a slang for human. 00:44:13.238 --> 00:44:15.798 So essentially it's an advanced human. Hoc-Tauri. 00:44:16.297 --> 00:44:20.668 Anyway, Nyrti has been studying the children of Henka, which is the name of the planet, right? 00:44:21.098 --> 00:44:25.254 Because she believed they were evolving into Hoktar, so advanced humans. 00:44:27.111 --> 00:44:34.077 And so now they're like, okay, if that's what's going on, then that explains, 00:44:34.917 --> 00:44:36.287 the retrovirus they found. 00:44:36.287 --> 00:44:40.415 Yeah, because that's the catalyst to that evolution, right? 00:44:41.784 --> 00:44:42.162 Yeah. 00:44:42.533 --> 00:44:46.754 Yeah, and Tilk, of course, now he gets to say something, and he's like, 00:44:47.050 --> 00:44:50.039 such advanced humans will represent a powerful host for the gold. 00:44:51.734 --> 00:44:53.499 Thank you for stating the obvious. Right. 00:44:54.457 --> 00:44:59.877 Right. So

for the people at the back of the bus that didn't pick up on what 00:44:59.877 --> 00:45:04.207 he was putting down, what it means is that NIRTI has been studying these people 00:45:04.207 --> 00:45:06.026 and conducting experiments on them, 00:45:07.717 --> 00:45:14.497 to essentially accelerate this evolution so she can have her super host body. 00:45:14.497 --> 00:45:18.902 Yeah. And that also explains why she killed everybody on the planet. 00:45:19.813 --> 00:45:21.903 Because she didn't want anyone to know what she was doing. 00:45:22.060 --> 00:45:28.433 Correct. When HCC showed up, she basically killed the experiment. 00:45:28.573 --> 00:45:32.538 She was like, this is getting too dangerous. I don't want anybody to know that I'm doing this. 00:45:32.979 --> 00:45:35.177 I'm just going to kill everybody. So she did. 00:45:35.177 --> 00:45:42.608 But it also explains why she made sure that none of the teenagers died. 00:45:42.875 --> 00:45:45.557 It's because if everyone's dying from this, they can't, 00:45:48.750 --> 00:45:50.827 continue to move the evolution process forward. 00:45:50.827 --> 00:45:52.047 Yes yeah exactly, 00:45:54.183 --> 00:45:56.552 yeah so why did NIRT stop it. 00:45:59.618 --> 00:46:01.518 She wins them passing on the RNA. 00:46:01.838 --> 00:46:07.871 Exactly, correct. That's exactly it. So it's a long-term, a very long-term experiment. 00:46:08.208 --> 00:46:11.343 So then the question is, Daniel asks us, how far along is Cassandra? 00:46:12.167 --> 00:46:16.910 I mean, what if she really is transforming into something else? 00:46:17.914 --> 00:46:22.368 But, Frasier I think points it up, the fever is rising, so it's clearly killing 00:46:22.368 --> 00:46:25.878 her. And then Hammond is like, well, let's find answers. 00:46:27.080 --> 00:46:30.191 Which is good. a lot of speculation maybe find some answers. 00:46:30.946 --> 00:46:38.908 Yeah that seems like a reasonable move yep and okay so then, 00:46:40.898 --> 00:46:42.815 now we go back to Cassandra yep 00:46:43.129 --> 00:46:49.584 and I believe this is where she's floating the chess pieces yep and and, 00:46:52.898 --> 00:46:57.525 taking everything to account from the exposition room and then seeing this now yep And, 00:46:58.535 --> 00:47:05.498 I was able to deduce that floating the chess pieces, she's using that as a heat 00:47:05.498 --> 00:47:10.094 sink because she's generating all this heat and needs to dissipate it. 00:47:10.534 --> 00:47:14.179 And by using that telekinetic power, it releases the heat. 00:47:14.878 --> 00:47:17.691 Yeah. You also said she's becoming super Cassie. 00:47:18.992 --> 00:47:20.728 Oh, yeah. 00:47:20.728 --> 00:47:23.473 I don't know if it was here or before, but you called it super Cassie. 00:47:23.938 --> 00:47:26.048 Yeah. Yeah, she's turning into super Cassie. 00:47:26.048 --> 00:47:29.075 Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 00:47:31.238 --> 00:47:35.698 And she says, like, this helps her. But then also she tells Janet, 00:47:35.698 --> 00:47:39.987 she's like, I want this to happen, Janet. And she calls her Janet again. It's important. 00:47:40.718 --> 00:47:46.257 Right. You know that it's more than that now. I can feel the power inside me. It's only beginning. 00:47:49.950 --> 00:47:50.720 Yeah. 00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:54.780 And then Frasier points out, well, but it's also taking a toll on you and it 00:47:54.780 --> 00:47:55.691 might actually kill you. 00:47:56.915 --> 00:48:01.043 To which she says, maybe dying is part of the transformation. Like, 00:48:03.500 --> 00:48:05.072 really? Really? 00:48:05.617 --> 00:48:06.280 Yeah. 00:48:06.620 --> 00:48:11.110 It's kind of a big risk. What if it's not? 00:48:11.110 --> 00:48:13.700 Caterpillars don't die when they become butterflies. 00:48:14.060 --> 00:48:15.166 I said, what if it's not? 00:48:16.060 --> 00:48:16.519 Yeah. 00:48:17.628 --> 00:48:23.280 Yeah. And she puts down the chest piece. And that's where we see what you mentioned, 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:26.800 right? The heat sink. Because Frasier touches it and burns her hand. 00:48:27.500 --> 00:48:27.760 Yes. 00:48:28.200 --> 00:48:31.947 Yeah. And Kathy actually apologizes for that. She's like, sorry. 00:48:33.306 --> 00:48:34.360 Yeah. Well, I mean. 00:48:34.803 --> 00:48:35.860 She didn't warn her. 00:48:36.725 --> 00:48:39.906 Yeah. Yeah. And I would expect, 00:48:42.040 --> 00:48:46.744 any teenager in that same position doing the whole emo thing, 00:48:47.017 --> 00:48:49.990 when they see something like that happen because they still do care. 00:48:49.990 --> 00:48:55.360 Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And I mean, she is, I think, starting to realize that that 00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:57.356 is serious, the situation she's in. 00:48:59.057 --> 00:48:59.469 Yeah. 00:48:59.684 --> 00:49:03.670 Yeah. And Frasier says something and I have it verbatim again. 00:49:03.670 --> 00:49:06.990 She says, Sweetheart, sometimes when a person is sick, it is important for them 00:49:06.990 --> 00:49:09.221 to fight. I want you to fight this. Okay. 00:49:10.905 --> 00:49:11.439 And she, 00:49:12.965 --> 00:49:14.330 It reluctantly agrees. 00:49:15.374 --> 00:49:19.275 Yeah. Now we have a problem with the story. 00:49:19.821 --> 00:49:20.198 Yes. 00:49:21.325 --> 00:49:25.162 Because we see that the invisible person is there. 00:49:26.143 --> 00:49:28.813 No, this happens in the next scene. No, right? 00:49:28.951 --> 00:49:31.989 Oh, jeez. Okay, well, in the next scene we have a problem. 00:49:31.989 --> 00:49:35.789 Exactly where this is coming now. So Carter and Frasier are reviewing scans. 00:49:35.789 --> 00:49:37.722 That's the scene we're setting up now. 00:49:39.649 --> 00:49:41.763 Okay. But here's where the problem comes in for me. 00:49:42.024 --> 00:49:42.216 Yeah. 00:49:42.581 --> 00:49:46.619 I'm totally separate from my clear 00:49:46.619 --> 00:49:50.409 inability to overcome my ability to get everything in the right order. 00:49:51.533 --> 00:49:53.936

Maybe you need to evolve into a guitar. 00:49:55.629 --> 00:49:59.979 Clearly. I need that, yes. So, the invisible person's there. 00:49:59.979 --> 00:50:06.079 And we know because we get the weird camera shot with the distorted colors and 00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:07.798 everything. Yeah. Okay. 00:50:08.477 --> 00:50:13.369 how can that person be there because they watched everyone else, 00:50:14.469 --> 00:50:19.733 ring out of the chamber so they have to ring out of the chamber too to get up, 00:50:20.285 --> 00:50:24.829 on the surface with them to go back to the gate to go through with them which 00:50:24.829 --> 00:50:29.879 means that it would be obvious that someone else had done the ring thing to get out. 00:50:29.879 --> 00:50:33.769 Not necessarily I mean we don't know how far away the rings are because we never 00:50:33.769 --> 00:50:38.559 see that right the forest I mean it's just Like, we remember the gate was not 00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:41.064 far from the village, but the forest was a little bit further away. 00:50:41.407 --> 00:50:44.240 So it's totally possible that the forest is actually further away. 00:50:44.501 --> 00:50:48.641 And, I mean, Jack and whatever, they're not in any rush. They're not rushing back to the gate. 00:50:48.884 --> 00:50:53.691 So they might have just been, like, leisurely walking back and talking, whatever. 00:50:54.038 --> 00:50:58.069 So she could wait, like, two, three, four minutes until, like, 00:50:58.069 --> 00:51:00.549 they're far enough away, ring up, and then just catch up with them. 00:51:01.091 --> 00:51:04.238 And she's a good world, so who knows how fast she can run. 00:51:04.876 --> 00:51:06.159 Yeah, okay, that's fair. 00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:09.189 That's at least my headcanon how this would have happened. 00:51:09.509 --> 00:51:13.729 I had the same question. I'm like, because she clearly sees them bring up. 00:51:13.729 --> 00:51:16.650 So it's like she didn't go with them that time. But... 00:51:18.447 --> 00:51:24.046 Well, I think it's totally possible that she had enough time to go up, 00:51:24.046 --> 00:51:25.859 go after them and join them, basically. 00:51:26.509 --> 00:51:31.594 I have a whole other problem with that. Because supposedly they have those Ritu 00:51:32.001 --> 00:51:35.076 scanner thingies, and especially after last time she was cloaked. 00:51:35.076 --> 00:51:36.556 And they're set up on the gate. 00:51:36.556 --> 00:51:40.356 Yeah, and especially after the last time she was cloaked and she should still 00:51:40.356 --> 00:51:42.578 be out there, whatever. They should have detected her. 00:51:44.029 --> 00:51:48.726 I had forgotten about those on the gates. And yes, you're right, 00:51:48.726 --> 00:51:52.776 because that became a standard thing when the gate opens. 00:51:52.776 --> 00:51:56.396 Unless the writers don't. Maybe they were broken this week and they were like, 00:51:56.396 --> 00:51:59.396 ah, whatever. The retool are gone, whatever. 00:52:00.794 --> 00:52:04.316 Yeah, well, they definitely had to not be working. Otherwise, 00:52:05.376 --> 00:52:07.255 the later scenes don't work. 00:52:08.357 --> 00:52:12.686 Yeah, exactly. So, but anyhow, so they're going, they're having a discussion 00:52:12.686 --> 00:52:14.856 about the data that they have. 00:52:15.496 --> 00:52:17.986 ultimately they both end up leaving the. 00:52:17.986 --> 00:52:19.073 Room yeah, 00:52:22.576 --> 00:52:27.166 there's mentioned that there's a 25% higher level of activity in her brain that 00:52:27.166 --> 00:52:31.526 she found a way to channel the heat from her body which we just saw but also 00:52:31.526 --> 00:52:37.056 that she hasn't been able to sleep she hasn't slept in 30 hours which, 00:52:37.716 --> 00:52:45.546 that's not good so Carter's like I'll go check on her yeah And then we get the 00:52:45.546 --> 00:52:47.284 invisible person using the computer. 00:52:48.422 --> 00:52:48.856 Right. 00:52:49.216 --> 00:52:52.579 And I think this is the point where you texted me. 00:52:54.275 --> 00:52:56.312 Yeah, because I'm like, oh, yeah, called it. 00:52:56.533 --> 00:52:59.603 Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah. No, no, you're like, I get it. Nearty is invisible 00:52:59.603 --> 00:53:03.580 and reading SG-1's data. They're going to strike a deal with her to save Cassandra. 00:53:03.824 --> 00:53:07.953 And after they discover she's been invisible on the base, you basically predicted 00:53:07.953 --> 00:53:09.633 the rest of the episode at this point. 00:53:09.633 --> 00:53:11.057 Yeah. Yeah. 00:53:11.423 --> 00:53:11.788 Yes. 00:53:11.957 --> 00:53:13.263 So, yeah. 00:53:15.869 --> 00:53:18.702 And so she uncloaks herself. She's going through all the data. 00:53:18.865 --> 00:53:19.083 Yeah. 00:53:20.243 --> 00:53:27.461 And as she's doing this, Frasier realizes she doesn't have her key card to open the elevator. 00:53:27.908 --> 00:53:31.611 Happens later. You mixed up two scenes. 00:53:33.383 --> 00:53:38.536 This is she only reviews data on the computer. This is later in the lab again. 00:53:40.283 --> 00:53:43.413 We get a Kathy and Carter scene in between. 00:53:46.530 --> 00:53:54.988 Huh. Oh, is this a scene where Cassie talks about how Sam stayed with her when 00:53:54.988 --> 00:53:56.909 they thought she was going to be a bomb? 00:53:57.252 --> 00:53:57.538 Yes. 00:53:57.918 --> 00:54:02.798 Okay. How could I forget that scene? That's actually a really nice scene. I thought it came later. 00:54:03.198 --> 00:54:06.268 No, no. This is really where it happened. Yeah. 00:54:06.268 --> 00:54:06.518 Okay. 00:54:06.518 --> 00:54:12.258 Yeah, they talk about it. Like, Kathy Lakin's, what's happening to her with 00:54:12.258 --> 00:54:15.898 what Carter felt when she didn't leave Kathy alone, right? It was an instinct, 00:54:16.524 --> 00:54:18.939 that it was all all right. She didn't know. 00:54:20.598 --> 00:54:23.838 Like, it was clearly an instinct. And Kathy has the instinct that this is a 00:54:23.838

--> 00:54:24.958 good thing that's happening. 00:54:26.688 --> 00:54:27.895 The same way, right? 00:54:30.014 --> 00:54:30.589 Yeah. 00:54:30.925 --> 00:54:31.262 Yeah. 00:54:31.425 --> 00:54:34.437 And, you know, maybe she's right or not. 00:54:34.699 --> 00:54:41.769 Yeah. But as Carter points out, I mean, it could kind of not end well for her. 00:54:43.423 --> 00:54:52.188 Right. But Kathy clearly is kind of ambiguous about that or divided. 00:54:52.188 --> 00:54:56.488 She's not sure because she asks Sam, like, when the time comes, 00:54:56.488 --> 00:54:59.753 when it is, she says, when it is time, will you be here? 00:55:00.716 --> 00:55:01.982 So she doesn't want to be alone. 00:55:03.834 --> 00:55:04.693 Which is fair. Yeah. 00:55:05.258 --> 00:55:10.277 I mean, I think she's realizing that as much as it feels right and as much that 00:55:10.608 --> 00:55:13.354 maybe death is part of the transformation, she doesn't know that. 00:55:14.051 --> 00:55:18.868 There's also a possibility that she just might die like the others have before 00:55:18.868 --> 00:55:23.720 her, and that she doesn't want to be alone for that. 00:55:25.979 --> 00:55:32.155 And, of course, Sam, she promises to be there no matter what. 00:55:32.271 --> 00:55:36.962 Yes, yeah. And then Kathy says, I guess I can go to sleep then. 00:55:39.345 --> 00:55:39.909 Okay. 00:55:40.158 --> 00:55:43.177 Yeah. Which was one thing I think Carter asked her about. 00:55:43.722 --> 00:55:44.272 Yeah. 00:55:44.272 --> 00:55:44.605 Yes. 00:55:45.301 --> 00:55:49.262 Okay. So now we get to the scene that I thought that I was already in, right? 00:55:49.262 --> 00:55:52.942 Yeah. So Frazier's in her lap alone, and she's reviewing charts, 00:55:52.942 --> 00:55:56.273 and she's looking at stuff under a microscope, and she walks out. 00:55:57.865 --> 00:56:00.292 That's exactly the scene that you described. 00:56:00.292 --> 00:56:05.869 Okay. And, hey, at least I remember that this scene happened. 00:56:06.143 --> 00:56:06.412 Yes. 00:56:07.338 --> 00:56:08.252 So, yeah. 00:56:08.252 --> 00:56:11.675 To be fair, so far we do not know who that figure is. 00:56:12.587 --> 00:56:17.171 Oh, that's true. We just assume she was in the lab and whatever. 00:56:17.583 --> 00:56:20.178 I think a good assumption is it's near G, but we don't know yet. 00:56:20.961 --> 00:56:25.338 Yeah. I mean, that's true. It could be anyone. 00:56:27.039 --> 00:56:30.172 But... Yeah, the likelihood that it's near T is pretty high. 00:56:30.172 --> 00:56:31.392 And it turns out, yes, it is. 00:56:31.672 --> 00:56:32.362 Yeah, exactly. 00:56:33.232 --> 00:56:37.712 Because she decloaks, she starts going through all the documents, and, 00:56:40.732 --> 00:56:43.856 she looks at the x-rays that are on the wall. 00:56:44.077 --> 00:56:50.184 Yeah, and she puts one of the charts on the edge of a desk, somewhere where it wasn't before. 00:56:50.932 --> 00:56:59.181 Mm-hmm. And by this point, Doc Frazier realizes she doesn't

have her key card, so she has to go back. 00:56:59.396 --> 00:56:59.612 Yeah. 00:57:00.133 --> 00:57:05.305 And right before she steps in the room, Nearty realizes, oh, crap. 00:57:05.677 --> 00:57:06.107 Yeah. 00:57:06.368 --> 00:57:10.193 Got a cloak. Yeah. And so just cloaks and leaves everything as it is. 00:57:10.553 --> 00:57:16.049 Yeah. So Doc Frazier sees that her stuff isn't where she had left it, which is kind of weird. 00:57:16.438 --> 00:57:20.062 Yeah, but she is, I think, also not sure. She's like, I mean, maybe she's just tired. 00:57:20.062 --> 00:57:26.522 Right yeah but then she looks at the uh at the x-rays yeah and and has something 00:57:26.522 --> 00:57:29.632 and rushes out and rushes out yeah and, 00:57:30.469 --> 00:57:35.832 um so what she saw we now discover because she runs into sam this is still the 00:57:35.832 --> 00:57:38.747 same scene right okay i've got one right same scene yeah, 00:57:39.577 --> 00:57:44.472 and uh and she wants to know if they still have any of the remains from from 00:57:44.472 --> 00:57:49.292 the villagers because she needs a bone fragment so she can rent tests on it. 00:57:49.692 --> 00:57:53.572 No, she wants tissue. And Carter's like, well, no, I mean, we kind of burnt 00:57:53.572 --> 00:57:55.686 them, so, because, you know... 00:57:57.345 --> 00:58:01.320 poison and so on. But then she's like, oh no, this is good because there might 00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:02.825 still be bone fragments, so I need that. 00:58:05.050 --> 00:58:08.758 There might be antibodies, but they get interrupted. 00:58:09.872 --> 00:58:14.045 Right, because now there's like an intruder alarm thing going, 00:58:14.503 --> 00:58:22.218 and so they both make a run back to the room that Cassandra's in, 00:58:22.890 --> 00:58:27.181 only to find a guard laying on the ground outside the door. 00:58:27.890 --> 00:58:33.184 And another guard has already shown up, and it's like, yeah, not looking good. 00:58:35.059 --> 00:58:37.433 And Cassandra is freaking out in the room. 00:58:37.619 --> 00:58:38.060 Yeah. 00:58:38.611 --> 00:58:40.782 And she's like, there's a Gould here. 00:58:41.003 --> 00:58:42.478 Yeah, she sends a Gould. 00:58:44.470 --> 00:58:46.088 Which we already know that she can. 00:58:46.315 --> 00:58:49.983 Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, her and Sam are kind of the two that could. 00:58:50.790 --> 00:58:51.191 Yeah. 00:58:51.371 --> 00:58:54.384 And until if the plot requires it. 00:58:56.510 --> 00:58:56.730 Yeah. 00:58:57.762 --> 00:58:59.320 Yeah yeah his. 00:58:59.320 --> 00:59:00.607 Sometime sensor yeah. 00:59:00.850 --> 00:59:05.477 Yeah sometimes sensor like it's just broken half of the time like to this time, 00:59:08.670 --> 00:59:12.099 yeah so Carter asked for ZADs and for TERs, 00:59:13.638 --> 00:59:16.936 Because they are going to scan for hidden gold. 00:59:17.563 --> 00:59:18.271 Right. 00:59:20.822 --> 00:59:25.482 And so at this point, they put together what I already did, which is Nierty's 00:59:25.482 --> 00:59:28.650 been on the base the whole time. 00:59:28.958 --> 00:59:29.242 Yes. 00:59:29.962 --> 00:59:32.040 But now they're on a hunt because they're going to find her. 00:59:32.243 --> 00:59:32.661 Yes. 00:59:32.853 --> 00:59:34.693 And, yeah. 00:59:36.882 --> 00:59:38.617 But so now, 00:59:40.962 --> 00:59:44.582 they start their hunt, their clearing areas. are locking their blast doors. 00:59:44.702 --> 00:59:48.502 Not quite. There's one little thing in between because while they rush out to, 00:59:48.962 --> 00:59:52.342 get ready to clear and all of that, they talk to Cassie. 00:59:52.342 --> 00:59:53.014 Oh, Frasier. 00:59:53.281 --> 01:00:00.299 Frasier is like, because they're wondering, like, why did Nearty wait until now? 01:00:01.768 --> 01:00:05.622 Right? Why did she wait until now to come after Cassandra? That makes no sense. 01:00:05.622 --> 01:00:07.474 That's the question. It doesn't get answered. 01:00:08.252 --> 01:00:15.774 And we see, it gets interspersed now with the clearing of the hallways of Carter and Daniel and Teal'c. 01:00:16.580 --> 01:00:19.262 Basically, they're going step by step. And we go back, 01:00:21.659 --> 01:00:25.177 to the infirmary, right? To the isolation lab. 01:00:26.382 --> 01:00:29.362 And because Cassandra is like, she wanted to know if her experiment worked. 01:00:30.483 --> 01:00:35.072 And they're like, not sure. I think Rachel's like, sure. And she's like, 01:00:35.072 --> 01:00:39.248 no, if the transformation were to kill me, she would have just let it happen. 01:00:39.684 --> 01:00:41.384 Don't you see? it did work. 01:00:43.456 --> 01:00:47.624 Which actually makes sense. Yeah. Hooray emo Cassie. 01:00:47.798 --> 01:00:48.385 Hooray emo Cassie. 01:00:48.385 --> 01:00:49.555 For putting the pieces together. 01:00:49.555 --> 01:00:50.863 Yeah. But there's a problem. 01:00:52.007 --> 01:00:55.920 Yeah. Then she senses that Nirti's right there with them. 01:00:56.128 --> 01:00:57.632 Yeah. And the observation thingy. 01:00:58.305 --> 01:01:01.196 And points to where invisible Nirti is. 01:01:01.429 --> 01:01:01.695 Yeah. 01:01:01.695 --> 01:01:07.095 And so Jack's like giddy up. And he uses their expensive Zat gun prop. 01:01:07.095 --> 01:01:10.709 Yeah. I think Nirti kind of tries to escape through the glass. 01:01:10.930 --> 01:01:14.134 Like literally jumps through the glass. I'm like, is this a stupidest idea? Okay, okay. 01:01:15.365 --> 01:01:19.535 I was trying to figure out, was she trying to jump up, or was she jumping down through the glass? 01:01:19.535 --> 01:01:21.365 Yeah, I don't know. It's kind of weird. 01:01:21.365 --> 01:01:21.885 Either way, it was weird. 01:01:22.565 --> 01:01:27.025 But anyway, Jack just looks at her and just sats her. He's like, eh, what's the point? 01:01:28.037 --> 01:01:33.180 Yeah. And Kathy is unfortunately ceasing. Basically, right after. 01:01:36.466 --> 01:01:42.457 And, yeah, so now this is where the negotiations

start. 01:01:42.712 --> 01:01:45.893 because they've obviously captured Nyrti. 01:01:47.085 --> 01:01:51.001 And so she's awake again. 01:01:51.338 --> 01:01:55.765 Yeah. They put her in a cell. They put her in a cell. 01:01:55.805 --> 01:01:56.685 And she's restrained. 01:01:57.105 --> 01:02:02.768 Yeah, exactly. And Jack comes in and he asks what happened to Kathy. 01:02:03.987 --> 01:02:06.273 And Nyrti says she will die. 01:02:07.945 --> 01:02:14.220 And Jack is very clear. He's like, if she dies, so do you. yeah he's very matter-of-fact yeah. 01:02:16.177 --> 01:02:19.485 And it doesn't even sound like a threat, just merely a statement of fact. 01:02:19.625 --> 01:02:22.778 No, a statement of fact. And he's like, no doubt about it. 01:02:25.125 --> 01:02:30.191 Yes. Yeah. And so, let the negotiations begin. 01:02:30.301 --> 01:02:30.644 Yeah. 01:02:30.777 --> 01:02:34.724 And she's like, well, I can help her, but here are the terms. 01:02:34.986 --> 01:02:35.241 Yeah. 01:02:36.118 --> 01:02:39.072 And what she wants is to be able to leave. 01:02:39.403 --> 01:02:39.810 Mm-hmm. 01:02:40.053 --> 01:02:45.638 She gets to take her cloaking device with her. And she gets to have a sample of Cassandra's blood. 01:02:45.853 --> 01:02:50.677 Yeah and i think jack is like no and she's like well those are my terms, 01:02:53.335 --> 01:02:55.936 yeah she knows that she's a good position to negotiate. 01:02:56.580 --> 01:02:58.145 She's in a very good position to. 01:02:58.145 --> 01:03:01.613 Negotiate right now yeah she's a girl well she's of course she's cocky yeah, 01:03:04.050 --> 01:03:05.832 right and um yeah. 01:03:07.272 --> 01:03:12.943 So now so now we get to start discussing what to do. 01:03:13.123 --> 01:03:13.245 Mm-hmm. 01:03:17.059 --> 01:03:23.475 And so we have this debate going on about, should this offer be accepted? 01:03:23.475 --> 01:03:27.905 And by the way, this is not where NIRT is being held. 01:03:28.505 --> 01:03:30.660 No, it's not in the infirmary again. Oh, in the infirmary. 01:03:30.910 --> 01:03:32.238 Okay. In the infirmary again. 01:03:32.238 --> 01:03:32.750 You know. 01:03:35.443 --> 01:03:39.985 And they're like, well, do we seriously consider the offer? And Daniel's like, yeah. 01:03:40.585 --> 01:03:41.614 It's worth a shot. 01:03:42.131 --> 01:03:43.405 We're going to keep her alive. 01:03:43.405 --> 01:03:45.585 Yeah, and they're like, I mean, she has a lot of information, 01:03:45.585 --> 01:03:49.075 like, should we go? And I think that comes, actually, never mind, 01:03:49.075 --> 01:03:50.049 I think that comes later. 01:03:52.370 --> 01:03:59.528 Yeah, because we have to have Frasier try and reduce Cassie's fever before we get to that point. 01:03:59.528 --> 01:04:03.768 Yeah, exactly. But they are talking about it, basically. Yeah, 01:04:03.768 --> 01:04:07.549 exactly. She rushes away because she has to get the fever down. 01:04:10.904 --> 01:04:15.564 And so they go to isolation and Cassie doesn't want

to fight. 01:04:16.006 --> 01:04:17.539 And again, Frasier asks her too. 01:04:18.718 --> 01:04:21.700 Cassie just wants to let it happen. And this is where we get the nerves that I mentioned. 01:04:23.471 --> 01:04:27.258 Yeah, she lets us know her temperature is 105 or something. 01:04:27.258 --> 01:04:33.128 106. Oh, it was close. And, goof, on the screen behind it, it's like, 01:04:33.128 --> 01:04:36.218 what is it, 96.7 or something like that. 01:04:36.218 --> 01:04:36.638 Oops. 01:04:36.638 --> 01:04:42.111 On the monitor behind it. 97.2, okay. So, oopsie. 01:04:42.529 --> 01:04:43.074 Oops. 01:04:43.358 --> 01:04:48.549 Yeah. So, whatever, there was something she ordered in the beginning, it's not working. 01:04:49.558 --> 01:04:51.857 So, Kraser grabs something and rushes out. 01:04:52.891 --> 01:04:57.538 Yeah it was it looked like an EpiPen we see the label oh we do? 01:04:57.538 --> 01:04:59.078 I didn't pay attention to that. 01:05:02.458 --> 01:05:03.598 It was a sedative I forget. 01:05:03.598 --> 01:05:05.438 Which one you can. 01:05:05.798 --> 01:05:06.678 Read the name and it. 01:05:07.878 --> 01:05:11.436 Was obviously a sedative okay that's it I didn't see that, 01:05:15.018 --> 01:05:20.498 this is where we go to the exposition room to have the discussion right Right. 01:05:20.498 --> 01:05:20.858 And, 01:05:23.298 --> 01:05:23.650 this. 01:05:24.172 --> 01:05:29.078 Yeah, this is I have a verbatim again because the direction Hammond is fun. 01:05:30.138 --> 01:05:35.451 So Jack says, General, with all due respect, it's not like we're negotiating with terrorists. 01:05:37.398 --> 01:05:41.099 It's exactly like that, Colonel. You're letting your emotions get in the way. 01:05:42.411 --> 01:05:45.836 And I think I skipped over that. I think Jack says something about it. 01:05:45.856 --> 01:05:49.105 At least he has emotions or something. Yeah. 01:05:50.747 --> 01:05:51.756 That would be very Jack. 01:05:51.756 --> 01:05:55.876 Yeah. And it's like, now who cares if you let her go? What difference does this 01:05:55.876 --> 01:05:59.407 make in the grand scheme of things if there's one more gold running around? 01:06:00.208 --> 01:06:04.696 And Tam is like, if we were to allow Neurgy to leave with a sample of Cassandra's 01:06:04.696 --> 01:06:10.516 blood, she could well succeed in her experiment to create a genetically advanced 01:06:10.516 --> 01:06:13.449 host and become dangerously powerful. 01:06:14.134 --> 01:06:19.056 And Tilke agrees with that. He's like, yes. And he's like, the life of a child 01:06:19.056 --> 01:06:22.876 may be sacrificed, but Nerti possesses valuable information that would be lost 01:06:22.876 --> 01:06:24.055 if we allowed her to leave. 01:06:25.878 --> 01:06:27.550 Mm-hmm. Which, 01:06:29.680 --> 01:06:32.623 it's, yeah, that's legit. 01:06:32.890 --> 01:06:36.936 Yeah. It's a real, real situation and a real struggle. 01:06:36.936 --> 01:06:40.566 But it's also, I get the, there's a dilemma, right?

I mean, on the one hand, 01:06:40.566 --> 01:06:44.476 you have a child, and you have a child that you care about, and you have a person 01:06:44.476 --> 01:06:49.666 who says she could do something about it, right? 01:06:49.666 --> 01:06:54.836 Not saying she will, or she's actually not lying, because it's a cold world, right? 01:06:58.252 --> 01:06:58.508 but, 01:07:01.977 --> 01:07:05.747 yeah yeah but i think something about carter carter i think chimed in and says 01:07:05.747 --> 01:07:08.835 like until yesterday we didn't even need no near t was alive, 01:07:11.325 --> 01:07:13.751 yeah so there's that um, 01:07:16.666 --> 01:07:24.677 yeah uh but but then um yeah stuff happens that kind of makes that we don't 01:07:24.677 --> 01:07:27.283 see what the result does what Herman decides until later. 01:07:28.206 --> 01:07:35.230 No, we don't. So what we do see, though, is that Doc Frazier... 01:07:36.397 --> 01:07:37.976 She's in mom mode now. 01:07:38.626 --> 01:07:43.612 Oh, she's very much in mom mode. So that sedative she took, she went up, 01:07:44.197 --> 01:07:49.667 she went to the holding cell, tells the guard that she's supposed to go and check on Nierty. 01:07:49.992 --> 01:07:54.874 The guard goes to open the door for her, and she stabs him with the sedative. 01:07:55.331 --> 01:08:01.014 Yeah And uh So now She goes in To the room, 01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:06.802 Yeah And you're She's still sitting there Tied up Yeah And she pulls out a gun 01:08:07.174 --> 01:08:13.611 Yeah Cause or uh Sam Not well Janet pulls out a gun Yeah And it's like You're going to help her. 01:08:13.994 --> 01:08:19.057 Yes Yeah But and then we go back To the exposition Because we have to See the 01:08:19.057 --> 01:08:22.301 next part Of the discussion Mm-hmm Yeah. 01:08:23.597 --> 01:08:25.308 And uh Yeah. 01:08:28.237 --> 01:08:31.697 Because Carter says, well, we're talking about Cassandra, and now it's a Tealick 01:08:31.697 --> 01:08:36.507 and Carter discussion, because Tealick is like, I'm aware, but her sacrifice 01:08:36.507 --> 01:08:39.947 would benefit both our peoples. Neurgy possesses valuable information that could 01:08:39.947 --> 01:08:41.162 help us defeat the Gould. 01:08:43.621 --> 01:08:47.627 And Hammond points out, he's like, we may never have a gould as our prisoner again. 01:08:48.939 --> 01:08:52.074 I mean, given that there's a lot of them, not sure, but okay. 01:08:52.382 --> 01:08:57.947 And considering how many times they've had gould as prisoners, kind of a weak argument. 01:08:58.122 --> 01:09:02.441 Yeah. And Carter's like, I don't have to remind you what Cassandra has gone 01:09:02.441 --> 01:09:03.681 through because of the gould. 01:09:03.681 --> 01:09:11.131 now if we're going to put what we may learn over what might happen over her 01:09:11.131 --> 01:09:14.775 life and Daniel and Jack are like yeah you're right, 01:09:16.413 --> 01:09:20.075 and then we get a call like we never get a resolution here we get a call, 01:09:21.336 --> 01:09:28.621 well it's because Frasier creates the resolution exactly well we hear then a 01:09:28.981 --> 01:09:34.257 couple seconds later what the resolution is because there was a resolution we just Never saw it. 01:09:36.155 --> 01:09:41.339 Yeah. And so now we jump back to the holding cell. 01:09:41.607 --> 01:09:41.801 Yeah. 01:09:42.523 --> 01:09:45.907 And Frazier's standing there with the gun still pointed at Nierti. 01:09:46.164 --> 01:09:46.378 Yeah. 01:09:52.661 --> 01:09:58.195 And at this point, they say, okay, here's the compromise, because everyone else now joins in. 01:09:58.474 --> 01:10:03.641 Yeah, kind of. Hammond tells her to stand down and she's like I can't do that 01:10:03.641 --> 01:10:06.955 and Hammond is Hammond says, 01:10:09.321 --> 01:10:13.651 SG-1 has already convinced me to make a deal for Cassandra's life this isn't 01:10:13.651 --> 01:10:21.787 necessary oh right so basically yes but then he says I only agree to one condition 01:10:21.932 --> 01:10:23.157 you might leave afterwards, 01:10:25.493 --> 01:10:26.954 You get your life. That's it. 01:10:28.945 --> 01:10:32.953 And, uh, yeah. And near tea's like, yeah, no, no. 01:10:33.273 --> 01:10:39.643 And, and Hammond's like, I think I, I should remind you that the woman that's 01:10:39.643 --> 01:10:41.780 pointing a gun at your head is Cassandra's mom. 01:10:41.919 --> 01:10:46.853 Yes. She, and that seems to convince near tea. Yeah. 01:10:47.773 --> 01:10:48.813 You know? Yeah. 01:10:48.813 --> 01:10:51.723 I mean, that's a very compelling argument right there. She's like, 01:10:51.723 --> 01:10:54.161 yeah, she's going to kill me and rip my eyes out. 01:10:55.793 --> 01:10:59.147 Yeah in that order and yeah um, 01:11:01.213 --> 01:11:09.550 so now they head off to uh to the infirmary where where cassandra is and they have, 01:11:10.589 --> 01:11:14.571 they have their nice collection of gould uh medical devices yep, 01:11:15.442 --> 01:11:21.573 and they they're like here you go use the ones you need yeah and um and so near 01:11:21.573 --> 01:11:25.813 t she puts on a couple and she does She uses the. 01:11:25.813 --> 01:11:27.753 Healing hand device we've seen before and the. 01:11:27.753 --> 01:11:28.813 Spidery looking. 01:11:30.073 --> 01:11:30.547 I don't know. 01:11:31.773 --> 01:11:37.553 So we get the yellow beam and the purple beam Yes, exactly And so she does this 01:11:37.553 --> 01:11:43.703 what to me looked like a very half-hearted attempt to save Cassandra And it's like. 01:11:43.703 --> 01:11:49.946 Oh, it's too late It's too late And the others are, try again Traeger is like, you try again. 01:11:51.333 --> 01:11:55.854 And so this time she like actually really put some effort into it, 01:11:58.026 --> 01:12:00.434 and and it's done she's going to be fine. 01:12:01.728 --> 01:12:04.453 And Carter's like, okay, the vital signs are returning tomorrow. 01:12:04.453 --> 01:12:08.972 I'm like, why didn't Frazier say that? But

okay. Guess Carter needed a line. 01:12:10.413 --> 01:12:12.373 Well, you know, contractual obligations. 01:12:12.713 --> 01:12:15.132 But okay. But Carter can do anything, so we know that. 01:12:15.370 --> 01:12:21.366 Right. Yeah. I mean, she's Major MacGuffin. 01:12:21.662 --> 01:12:25.075 Major MacGuffin, yeah. And Kathy asks for a mom. 01:12:26.197 --> 01:12:31.883 Which is nice. It was very important that she said that, because that's the 01:12:31.883 --> 01:12:38.787 cue for us, that she's gone from this emo, dangerous evolution Cassie, back to, 01:12:40.993 --> 01:12:41.811 regular Cassie. 01:12:42.277 --> 01:12:46.855 Yeah. And you wrote, and just like that, Cassandra isn't emo. 01:12:49.053 --> 01:12:52.303 Yeah. By the way, you had also written before, angry Janet, exclamation mark, 01:12:52.303 --> 01:12:54.973 with a gun, exclamation mark. Yeah. 01:12:57.675 --> 01:12:58.433 Yeah, just saying it. 01:12:58.433 --> 01:12:58.533 Yep. 01:13:02.053 --> 01:13:05.993 So Cassie's okay. She hugs her two moms. Yeah. 01:13:07.439 --> 01:13:10.342 And now we get to see Near T leaving. 01:13:10.539 --> 01:13:12.315 Yeah. So the gate is dialing. 01:13:13.151 --> 01:13:19.933 And this is where we get a setup for, yes, we can see the Near T character again. 01:13:19.933 --> 01:13:25.523 because she lets Jack know that since she doesn't have a blood sample, 01:13:25.523 --> 01:13:27.478 she has to start her experiment over. 01:13:27.791 --> 01:13:30.891 Yeah, and also that the destination is not her final. 01:13:31.141 --> 01:13:34.833 Like, the entrances they're dying, which they don't know. She's like, 01:13:34.833 --> 01:13:36.423 ah, we've never dealt this. 01:13:36.928 --> 01:13:40.626 She's like, yeah, that's not my final destination, of course. She's not stupid. 01:13:41.950 --> 01:13:43.360 No, of course not. 01:13:43.563 --> 01:13:43.802 Yeah. 01:13:44.034 --> 01:13:48.322 And, yeah, so she leaves. Yeah, yeah. 01:13:48.853 --> 01:13:52.107 Yeah, Jack's answer to that is, oh, nuts. 01:13:52.659 --> 01:13:55.553 Yeah. Yeah. 01:13:56.211 --> 01:13:59.926 Yeah. She leaves, but with a twinkle in her eyes. 01:14:01.814 --> 01:14:05.645 Yeah, I mean, I think for her, this is still a win. 01:14:05.930 --> 01:14:10.668 Yeah, for her it's a win. And for the others, not as much. Like, 01:14:10.668 --> 01:14:15.048 O'Neal watches, like, the gate long after she's left, and Hammond is also, 01:14:15.048 --> 01:14:18.562 I think, standing up there. He's also watching it, and neither seem very happy. 01:14:20.058 --> 01:14:20.338 No. 01:14:20.958 --> 01:14:25.307 But they also, they gave her words, and they're going to keep it. 01:14:25.533 --> 01:14:28.186 They're not going, which I think she points out. She's like, 01:14:29.558 --> 01:14:30.502 she wouldn't have done that. 01:14:32.209 --> 01:14:39.338 Yeah, you're right. She did point that out. Okay, so now we get our denouement. 01:14:39.872 --> 01:14:40.156 Yeah. 01:14:40.918 --> 01:14:46.058 And this

is where we see that Cassie's back to normal, happy-go-lucky, not emo Cassie. 01:14:46.078 --> 01:14:51.126 Yeah, yeah. So Carter comes to check in, and she is bored. 01:14:51.411 --> 01:14:55.486 And I wrote that in all uppercase letters. She is capital B bored. 01:14:57.390 --> 01:14:58.766 But at least she's going home tonight. 01:15:00.466 --> 01:15:07.958 Yeah, and so now... Carter, she starts giving her some good-natured ribbing. 01:15:07.958 --> 01:15:10.706 It's like, yeah, you know, because your boyfriend's there. 01:15:10.869 --> 01:15:12.030 Dominique awaits. 01:15:13.098 --> 01:15:17.429 And Cassie's like, stop, no. She's embarrassed, but... 01:15:19.178 --> 01:15:23.298 I mean, first she's like, yeah, and then Carter doesn't let up, 01:15:23.298 --> 01:15:26.208 and she teases her. She's like, oh, that was some kiss, right? 01:15:26.208 --> 01:15:28.458 I mean, like, the lights blew out and everything. 01:15:29.818 --> 01:15:35.349 And fireworks and all of that. And that Kathy blushes. She's like, okay. 01:15:37.897 --> 01:15:40.178 And Sam's like, okay, so let's play chess. 01:15:40.846 --> 01:15:44.968 And then Kathy's like, okay, but I won't be able to move the pieces around just 01:15:44.968 --> 01:15:46.296 by thinking about it. Sorry. 01:15:47.399 --> 01:15:49.332 And then Carter's like, good. Then we're evil. 01:15:50.474 --> 01:15:55.598 Yeah. And so now we have our whole family together again. 01:15:55.598 --> 01:15:58.591 Yeah. We're standing there. She's smiling at them. 01:16:00.500 --> 01:16:00.798 Yeah. 01:16:00.798 --> 01:16:05.428 Proud mom and that's where it ends yeah and that's where it ends the end fade 01:16:05.428 --> 01:16:11.751 to black that's it I wrote as Frazier smiles at the two we fade to black yeah. 01:16:14.421 --> 01:16:17.381 So, what did you think of this episode? 01:16:19.146 --> 01:16:25.474 I kind of liked it. It's a, I mean, it's a different story, right? 01:16:25.973 --> 01:16:26.350 Mm-hmm. 01:16:26.617 --> 01:16:30.857 But it has a lot of, I mean, there are some little issues that, 01:16:30.857 --> 01:16:34.988 as I said, I'm okay to overlook for the sake of that, 01:16:36.108 --> 01:16:42.367 freedom of writers to shape the fiction side however they want and step over 01:16:42.367 --> 01:16:44.652 science sometimes. You have to do that. It's fine. 01:16:45.787 --> 01:16:49.208 But I mean, it kind of combines a lot of things. I like Cassie. 01:16:50.347 --> 01:16:57.407 And I like the Sam, Janet, Cassie interaction. Like, I like them from the original 01:16:57.407 --> 01:17:01.477 episode, right? I really like that dynamic and the three together and the two 01:17:01.477 --> 01:17:03.767 moms and, like, all of that. 01:17:04.407 --> 01:17:09.567 Cassie, with her background and the character, it's a very believable story 01:17:09.567 --> 01:17:12.907 from the side of, I mean, we established that, right? 01:17:13.347 --> 01:17:18.207 or we talked about it with for a teenager and typical things that you would 01:17:18.207 --> 01:17:21.821 see in a household with a mom and a teenage girl. 01:17:22.627 --> 01:17:25.237 There's tensions and she wants 01:17:25.237 --> 01:17:29.042 to do things and mom wants to do things and that doesn't always align. 01:17:30.430 --> 01:17:32.020 The teenage angst of, 01:17:33.146 --> 01:17:36.951 Like, what's happening to me? I'm changing, right? I mean, it's a different 01:17:36.951 --> 01:17:39.524 kind of changing this time, right? It's not the normal. 01:17:40.191 --> 01:17:45.131 But I think it's kind of, it's like, it's the same idea, right? 01:17:45.671 --> 01:17:49.660 You're changing and you don't understand it, but it feels like it's normal and right. 01:17:50.339 --> 01:17:54.011 But you don't know that, right? It might also be not. So you're kind of confused 01:17:54.011 --> 01:17:57.131 sometimes and it might be dangerous in a way. 01:17:57.891 --> 01:18:00.191 Maybe not that dangerous, like, but somewhat. 01:18:01.798 --> 01:18:05.851 But you might do things that maybe you shouldn't or that aren't good for you, 01:18:05.851 --> 01:18:07.475 but you don't know any matter, right? 01:18:08.154 --> 01:18:08.648 Yeah. 01:18:08.828 --> 01:18:12.752 Because your electrical fields are going crazy. No, your hormones are going crazy. 01:18:14.411 --> 01:18:15.431 Yeah, it was a metaphor. 01:18:15.791 --> 01:18:22.893 Yeah, of course. But I think it works. So for me, I mean, is it the best ever story? No. 01:18:23.038 --> 01:18:27.861 But it's a fun story. It has a nice ending. It's an interesting storyline. 01:18:27.861 --> 01:18:29.587 It's not super complicated. 01:18:30.491 --> 01:18:38.177 But, and we get to advance the Nirti, Cassandra, Henke storyline, 01:18:38.978 --> 01:18:42.171 which we've gotten every now and then iterations on, right? 01:18:42.171 --> 01:18:46.281 We start with the planet originally, then we had a little bit Nirti later with 01:18:46.281 --> 01:18:47.732 the cloaking and whatever. 01:18:48.179 --> 01:18:51.491 And now we're learning that, like the experiments she's been doing. 01:18:51.491 --> 01:18:57.341 I like that as a storyline, like it advances that story a little bit. 01:18:57.341 --> 01:19:03.311 and clearly we haven't seen the last of that because they teased that so I hope 01:19:03.311 --> 01:19:07.431 they get back to it well I know that if they do or not but I'm not telling you 01:19:07.431 --> 01:19:10.551 that of course but I do hope they get back to it, 01:19:11.491 --> 01:19:16.130 so do I so as I said I like it and again, 01:19:17.436 --> 01:19:20.089 I don't agree with the 6.8 on IMDb, 01:19:22.202 --> 01:19:25.789 okay good casting choices as well I have to say so. 01:19:28.756 --> 01:19:37.020 And for me, I enjoyed having the, I'll call it the Frasier family story. 01:19:37.397 --> 01:19:37.624 Yes. 01:19:40.590 --> 01:19:47.674 And the whole Cassandra teenager emo thing is so believable. 01:19:47.674 --> 01:19:47.964 Yes. 01:19:48.717 --> 01:19:53.684

Even though it's not, you know, they're using her transformation into a superhuman 01:19:53.684 --> 01:19:57.674 versus just the normal teenage progression. 01:19:57.804 --> 01:20:02.062 thing yeah yeah for sure it's on steroids basically yeah yeah and uh yeah yeah, 01:20:04.424 --> 01:20:11.144 so i mean yes i i had some issues with this episode sure there's some um and 01:20:11.144 --> 01:20:14.659 not not the least of which is uh the fact that, 01:20:15.617 --> 01:20:21.454 uh i expect we will never hear anything about fraser's court-martial and spending 01:20:21.454 --> 01:20:27.104 years in Air Force jail because she violated orders. 01:20:27.104 --> 01:20:29.404 She assaulted an officer. 01:20:31.644 --> 01:20:35.624 She was pointing a gun at a prisoner, threatening to kill them. 01:20:35.624 --> 01:20:40.084 No, we never hear about that. I can tell you as much. We never hear about that. 01:20:40.670 --> 01:20:48.112 No, of course we don't because that doesn't fit what the show is. Yeah, exactly. 01:20:48.344 --> 01:20:52.808 I think in reality, yeah, that would have happened. Well, actually, not sure. I mean... 01:20:55.107 --> 01:21:01.566 There is some leeway in situations like that where people will not press charges 01:21:01.566 --> 01:21:03.757 because they understand the reaction. 01:21:04.854 --> 01:21:07.913 It might be under observation for a while. 01:21:09.636 --> 01:21:12.466 There would be some sort of punitive action. 01:21:12.466 --> 01:21:17.480 For sure, but it might not end in jail. I mean, nobody got really hurt. 01:21:19.593 --> 01:21:20.266 Yet. 01:21:21.032 --> 01:21:21.336 Yeah. 01:21:21.336 --> 01:21:24.876 They did let Nearty go, but that wasn't Janet's decision. 01:21:24.876 --> 01:21:28.776 That was not Janet's decision, right? That was the base commander's decision, so that's different. 01:21:29.711 --> 01:21:29.983 Yeah. 01:21:31.612 --> 01:21:33.349 Yeah, but it's like, yeah, for sure not. 01:21:34.452 --> 01:21:37.575 Yeah, and I agree. This isn't the best episode. 01:21:39.656 --> 01:21:42.256 It was a perfectly fine and entertaining episode. 01:21:42.256 --> 01:21:44.250 Yeah, I thought it was really entertaining. 01:21:45.162 --> 01:21:48.136 And I did like that we got to see more of Cassie's story. 01:21:48.136 --> 01:21:53.196 Yeah, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Cassie and Sam and Janet. All three. 01:21:53.776 --> 01:21:56.412 All three of my favorites. Just saying. 01:21:57.829 --> 01:21:59.559 Yeah, so... 01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:04.998 And it puts a very typical teenager story, right? This is a typical story. 01:22:05.561 --> 01:22:07.976 But it puts it in a sci-fi context. 01:22:09.125 --> 01:22:11.337 Yeah. Yes, it did. 01:22:15.871 --> 01:22:19.754 And once again, I wish there was more for Teal'c to do. 01:22:21.194 --> 01:22:26.579 Yeah, that's true. I mean, they even took some of the Teal'c wiki and moved 01:22:26.579 --> 01:22:29.699 it to Daniel just so that Daniel is happy and gets his lines. 01:22:29.699 --> 01:22:31.439 Well, Michael Shanks. Yes. 01:22:31.859 --> 01:22:37.063 Yeah, and you know what? And it felt to me like that's exactly why that happened. 01:22:37.243 --> 01:22:38.387 I think so too, yeah. 01:22:39.635 --> 01:22:42.427 Which is just, I mean, that's a crappy move. 01:22:42.613 --> 01:22:50.717 Yep. Well, it's also the reality sometimes of contracts and TV networks and all of that. 01:22:51.814 --> 01:22:55.007 Yeah. And yeah, sucks, but yeah. 01:22:55.140 --> 01:22:55.605 Yeah. 01:22:56.562 --> 01:22:57.956 All right. So Chevron ratings. 01:22:58.728 --> 01:23:03.369 I'm going to give it a six. I think it's a, I think I said, I have really enjoyed 01:23:03.369 --> 01:23:05.039 it. I had a good time watching it. 01:23:05.379 --> 01:23:10.227 A lot of, all of what we said, I mean, on top of a lot of fun, 01:23:10.413 --> 01:23:16.259 Jack comments and, and like good acting, like everybody, like everybody was 01:23:16.599 --> 01:23:17.658 like acting really well. 01:23:18.366 --> 01:23:21.829 And the little plot points, the plot holes here, there were like, 01:23:21.829 --> 01:23:25.065 yeah, the whole near two thing was kind of predictable and whatever. I'm like, 01:23:27.908 --> 01:23:34.044 It's okay. I'll wave that away with the magic writer's wand and just say, it's fine. 01:23:35.835 --> 01:23:43.233 And, I mean, just, yeah, very predictable. Like, so much so that I texted you 01:23:43.512 --> 01:23:47.279 in like two or three sentences the whole rest of the story. 01:23:47.471 --> 01:23:53.575 But also, not every story can be like that. I mean, it's very clearly not an 01:23:53.575 --> 01:23:54.895 expensive one they shot. 01:23:56.683 --> 01:24:02.775 Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's obvious that the money for this episode went to acting 01:24:02.775 --> 01:24:07.305 talent versus sets and special effects. 01:24:07.305 --> 01:24:10.475 But even acting talent, not a lot. I mean, it's like, I mean, 01:24:10.475 --> 01:24:13.408 what did we get on top of the people we already know? 01:24:14.319 --> 01:24:17.239 Basically, nobody. It's like, they're all known actors. 01:24:19.735 --> 01:24:25.355 Young actors in two cases, right? So the nurse is showing up a lot anyway, 01:24:25.355 --> 01:24:29.975 and the rest is mostly recurring or main cast. So it's actually, 01:24:29.975 --> 01:24:34.658 as I said, I don't think in total it's an expensive episode to shoot. 01:24:35.088 --> 01:24:37.642 They probably save some money here to use it for others. 01:24:38.875 --> 01:24:43.715 By the way, I just looked up what Heather Yash, she did learning curve, 01:24:43.715 --> 01:24:49.548 foothold, new ground, beneath the surface, okay, and rite of passage. 01:24:51.301 --> 01:24:51.795 Okay. 01:24:51.795 --> 01:24:52.172 Ciao. 01:24:54.197 --> 01:24:57.448 Just so that you know okay okay, 01:24:58.417 --> 01:25:06.575 so so what now for me yeah okay um i'm having difficulty parsing out what my 01:25:06.575 --> 01:25:12.268

rating really is okay do you remember what i rated last week's episode. 01:25:13.045 --> 01:25:17.455 Uh was it a two or one i can look it up give me a second it was it. 01:25:17.455 --> 01:25:20.215 Was i think it was i think it was a two. 01:25:20.215 --> 01:25:22.897 It was a two we both agreed on a two yes. 01:25:23.383 --> 01:25:30.500 Yeah okay okay that's actually really helpful because i couldn't remember how low i had rated it and uh, 01:25:31.185 --> 01:25:35.775 yeah and i'm looking at these episodes like you know like i have the full body 01:25:35.775 --> 01:25:39.219 of everything up to this point yeah and, 01:25:40.427 --> 01:25:49.157 if i had rated that episode higher that would actually bump up my rating on this one and um um, 01:25:50.934 --> 01:25:59.055 so yeah this one it's a six i can easily make a case for it being a five okay, 01:25:59.740 --> 01:26:03.015 but i i'm happy that you're agreeing. 01:26:03.015 --> 01:26:05.335 With me it's a six so i'm not. 01:26:05.335 --> 01:26:05.815 Going to argue. 01:26:05.815 --> 01:26:07.005 Against it i think it is a. 01:26:07.005 --> 01:26:09.125 Good episode i mean not the best ever. 01:26:09.125 --> 01:26:10.218 But it's a good episode. 01:26:10.479 --> 01:26:15.815 Yeah it's a good episode i felt like like I wasn't watching it through the whole 01:26:15.815 --> 01:26:20.345 thing being like oh come on and how many times have I told you I've actually 01:26:20.345 --> 01:26:24.467 said out loud oh come on are you kidding me yeah, 01:26:25.305 --> 01:26:26.709 and I didn't do that with this, 01:26:28.729 --> 01:26:35.822 the the stuff that lets me take it to a six it's the whole dynamic between Janet, Sam and Cassie, 01:26:37.767 --> 01:26:42.865 and I agree and I believe that the actress playing Cassie makes, 01:26:43.565 --> 01:26:51.095 the whole emo thing believable versus, oh, we have a melodrama actor who's just 01:26:51.095 --> 01:26:52.918 trying to make us believe. 01:26:53.145 --> 01:26:53.684 Yeah. 01:26:54.444 --> 01:26:55.335 And, yeah. 01:26:55.335 --> 01:26:56.314 Yeah, I agree. Yeah. 01:26:58.275 --> 01:26:59.599 So, yeah, I'll give it a six. 01:27:00.481 --> 01:27:04.630 Really quickly, let's have a look at your predictions. You said it would be 01:27:04.630 --> 01:27:06.100 a two-luck episode. Nope. 01:27:07.140 --> 01:27:07.627 Nope. 01:27:07.900 --> 01:27:12.340 Teeluk and Breitag have to help someone through their rite of passage. Nope. 01:27:13.580 --> 01:27:21.100 Teeluk is not involved at all. And Breitag doesn't show up. It's Teeluk's son. Nope. 01:27:21.980 --> 01:27:22.237 Nope. 01:27:23.280 --> 01:27:26.080 Rite of passage from a boy to a man. Nope. 01:27:27.080 --> 01:27:27.601 Nope. 01:27:28.260 --> 01:27:32.825 From an emo girl to a super girl? I don't know. 01:27:33.446 --> 01:27:38.729 I mean, I was so wrong. But you can look at everything that I did and be like, 01:27:39.356 --> 01:27:45.670 well, I did those things generally in this episode. But no,

I still got it completely wrong. 01:27:45.670 --> 01:27:49.520 But the title also gave that away, kind of. It was a rite of passage. 01:27:49.520 --> 01:27:51.700 I just had the wrong rite of passage. 01:27:51.700 --> 01:27:55.453 Yes, not a lot of options. Well, you didn't consider Kathy could also have one, right? 01:27:56.860 --> 01:27:57.300 I didn't. 01:27:57.700 --> 01:27:58.675 You went to black. 01:28:00.364 --> 01:28:05.705 You know, part of it's because I really want to see Teal, Christopher Judge, doing more. 01:28:05.949 --> 01:28:13.020 Yeah. Yeah. So let's see whether Christopher Judge gets to do more in Beast 01:28:13.020 --> 01:28:15.689 of Burden, because that's the next episode. 01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:17.400 Beast of Burden, okay. 01:28:17.400 --> 01:28:22.155 Beast of Burden, written by Peter DeLuise, directed by Martin Wood. 01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:30.090 has a 7.3 on IMDb for whatever that's worth because we've established that's 01:28:30.090 --> 01:28:33.178 kind of worthless info so that's why I'm happy to give you that because, 01:28:34.183 --> 01:28:39.547 yes and let me see German title yeah no. 01:28:42.050 --> 01:28:42.450 Okay. 01:28:43.977 --> 01:28:45.155 Not giving you a German title. 01:28:46.949 --> 01:28:50.117 Well, I guess the title writer's back from their vacation. 01:28:50.557 --> 01:28:56.097 I guess so, yeah. It is actually in Germany quite possible. Maybe it was in 01:28:56.097 --> 01:28:59.540 May and he wasn't, wait, didn't that get released in May? Yeah, it might be. 01:28:59.894 --> 01:29:03.937 Maybe he was on vacation and couldn't, like Easter break or something. 01:29:04.672 --> 01:29:07.870 That takes in Germany two weeks, so couldn't write. 01:29:09.130 --> 01:29:13.896 Yeah, and that fits. All right, so Beast of Burden. 01:29:14.151 --> 01:29:14.354 Yeah. 01:29:15.776 --> 01:29:21.081 Okay, this is an episode where SG-1, 01:29:23.937 --> 01:29:30.087 I'm presuming they end up going off mission because they discover that there's 01:29:30.087 --> 01:29:34.398 a group of people that, because this is how the Gould are, 01:29:36.277 --> 01:29:41.758 are being used as slaves. You know, like deplorable conditions. 01:29:44.498 --> 01:29:52.701 And so they take it upon themselves to free and liberate the slaves. 01:29:55.063 --> 01:30:00.311 And so the slaves in this case are the beasts of burden in the episode. 01:30:00.683 --> 01:30:01.937 Ah, okay. 01:30:04.328 --> 01:30:10.897 Okay, we'll see what that episode is actually about, and if that is exactly 01:30:10.897 --> 01:30:13.146 what you predicted or if it's something else. 01:30:13.721 --> 01:30:20.140 It'll be something else. I'll give you a taste of my logic in a sort of beast of burden. Yeah. 01:30:21.434 --> 01:30:26.207 I don't think it's like they have... It's referring to an actual animal, 01:30:26.207 --> 01:30:28.104 like an oxen as a beast of burden. 01:30:29.157 --> 01:30:35.063 More of a metaphor beast of burden thing. Hence, they need to free people that are in slavery. Yeah. 01:30:36.237 --> 01:30:38.314 Okay. Makes sense. 01:30:40.728 --> 01:30:46.736 Okay, I follow that logic. Good. Written down. Let's see what we figure out. 01:30:46.736 --> 01:30:47.716 Let's see how wrong I am. 01:30:48.036 --> 01:30:49.935 Let's see what we figure out what it is about. 01:30:52.210 --> 01:31:00.449 Yeah. Okay. So with that, Patrice, I think it's time for us to wrap up and head 01:31:00.449 --> 01:31:02.642 back to the couch and watch some more TV. Yep. 01:31:03.479 --> 01:31:05.748 But before we do that, where can people find you? 01:31:06.178 --> 01:31:10.549 Well, I'm with you every week on the Tech Hangout, where we hang out, 01:31:10.549 --> 01:31:15.739 talk about tech news and interesting things and fight over interesting, 01:31:15.739 --> 01:31:18.879 not fight, argue maybe.
