This is one of my least favourite episodes even though it's a two parter season opener

"Mediocre"

By Toparty, Mar 16, 2011 Report Abuse

Much as I enjoyed the Hathor story line I don't think that the writers were on the ball with this episode. Daniel's haircut didn't throw me enough to notice that his character was torally acting out of character for the entire episode. I mean Hathor raped him and he barely blinks an eye, and then she puts a Goa'uld into his best friend and he dosen't even voice an objection.
I also found the entire creation of an SGC look a like to be silly.
But honestly - given the Hathor and Daniel history - this episode was vastly mis written and one of the worst double episodes ever because of it.
Writers - pay attention.moreless

Hathor is taken on by the SGC, much better than part one.

This episode is a great deal more entertaining than the first part of this two-parter. The character interactions are solid and of course there were some thrilling battles between the SG teams and Hathor's jaffa. Of course, it was also great to see Hathor again, I always thought she made a splendid bad girl, always referring to herself as "we". Since there no clips from previous episodes here it was by default more entertaining, but on top of that I think there was an above-par performance on the part of all cast members including General Hammond. It was fun seeing Hammond go off-world again and I loved seeing Teal'c "thread the needle", really cool effects there. Definitely a good way to start season 3.moreless

It was quite good episode.. I am not sure if the perfect season start but still - much better than last season ending, so it was enjoyable. All the action, motion, all those obstacles on their way and ofcourse - O'Neill and Goa'uld who has possessed him. Luckily not too much as the To'kra is always on right place.

I most almost say, I did enjoyed Teal'c's and Hammond's storyline even more than they main one. I do not like Teal'c char too much but the way he realized that the death of Apophis has not taken they way he thought. And the way Hammond goes there to seek Teal'c's help to save his men from another planet... Interesting storylines.moreless

This is the conclusion of the really crappy episode "Out of Mind" and it was pretty good. Honestly, I was expecting more. I read the summary and it sounded like it was going to be amazing, but it was just pretty good. Jack is implanted with a gou'ld and several SG teams attempt to save SG-1 whiel Teal'c goes to Chulack and gains support against Apophis's son. In the end, Hammond saves everyone and that's about it. The whole idea of Hammond going off world and saving the SG teams was really farfetched. It was almost stupid. Other than that, it was a good episode with good action and was a pretty good conclusion to a bad start.moreless

This episode was a little better then the season finale but was still a little weak. I loved the rescue mission scene that all the team members would gladly risk their lives to save SG-1. I really like those Staff Towers they had at the gate I wish we would have used them again. Teal'cs speak was one of the best parts of the episode and was seed of the Jaffa Rebellion. I was glad they killed Hathor and that Jack got to do it himself. The Needlethreader was a cool ship that I wish they would have shown it again. This episode had much better action then the previous one and the finale sequence was good. The best part was the reaction of Hammond and DSD did a wonderful job as usual.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- When the SG teams are firing at the Jaffa behind the force field, the fluctuations where the bullets hit are clearly visible. The bullets strike at various points all across the force field, many of them nowhere near the target. It is unlikely that anyone, let alone the elite hand-picked SG personnel would have such comically awful aim. The special effects team may have wanted it to look cooler but it just isn't realistic.
