  • Despite what some may think, I very much enjoyed this episode.

    Time travel and its affects has always intrigued me since I saw the Futurama episode "Roswell that Ends Well". This episode follows a classic science fiction time travel plot probably first started by Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder", where travel into the past causes catastrophic changes in the timeline. The interesting part is watching them try to fix it, but of course no matter how hard you try, nothin will be exactly the same as it used to be. In this case, Jack's pond now has fish.moreless

    This episode was one of the bet season finales i´ve ever seen. I enjoy a lot watching the alternate timeline of both SGC, what could happen if the Stargate wasn´t discover?? well, there is the episode which don´t give much space for imagination and tell us "the other life". I always feel fascinated with the timelines, and all the consequences of our actions. So i really, enjoy this season finale.

  • Daniel does like dying, doesn't he?

    An interesting storyline, though not really thought out as well as it could have been. I guess my main gripe is that they never actually explained how they fixed the timeline (I know they discussed it before, but it never showed us whether or not it happened that way). There were sevaral paradoxes present in this story (which is not unusual for time-travel stories...), although in the main they handled it reasonably well. (Such as having Daniel die on Tulac, so he doesn't meet himself in ancient Egypt)

    But in the end none of that really mattered, because the result was a highly amusing episode. I especially like the exchange between Carter and O'Neill in the ship, as they were trying to get the cloak to work...

    The episode ended in the exact same place as 'Threads' did, only with one teensy little difference :-)moreless

  • The alternate Jack, Sam, and Daniel must find a way to find Teal'c and fix the altered timeline.

    Unlike Moebius Part 1, of which I couldn't help but question its existence, Part 2 is an enjoyable and well made season finale. The alternate timeline begun in the last episode is expanded upon in this one, eventually playing out into what is almost a new version of the first episode. Getting to see more interaction between the alternate members of SG-1, including Teal'c, is a treat. The creators even bring Krazinsky back AND kill Daniel off, again. It's quite the fun "what if" look at our heroes, especially concerning the sometimes controvesial Jack/Sam romantic pairing. In his final episode as a regular cast member, RDA brings his best as Jack, showing some wonderful moments of Jack's trademark humor. Two years down the road, he is still missed by many fans. This episode showcases a good reason why. As a season finale, this episode delivers. As a series finale, it probably would have been perfect for many fans. And as a single episode and conclusion to the last, it works, bringing great performances by the entire cast and a fun storyline that ties in with the spinoff series.moreless

    This was one of my very favorite Sg1's. I liked the difference in the characters and how funny they were being so different.
    Through this show Sam and Daniel were trying so hard to get their lives, that they really felt were a mistake, back on track where they are supposed to be.
    Jack was really a Character in this one. But for some reason he still listens to Sam and Daniel, after a while anyway.
    They manage to find Teal'c on Chulak and manage to get themselves captured. They try to make him listen to them but he does not. that is until Apophis Seems puzzled by Daniel's reluctance to give him any information, and of course if he is indeed a god why does he need daniel to tell him these things, he should know all, which causes dout. Unfortunately Daniel is compromised by Apophis. But Teal'c decides he needs to help them.
    So Teal'c Jack and Sam take off in the gateship 1 and travel back to the past to stop Apophis from stealing the gate from earth. While they are there they learn of the demise that came about for the first Sam Jack and Teal'c.
    They have to come up with a plan to keep the Jaffa from finding the ship.
    Sam and Jack go back to the ship and proceed to try and get the cloak to work, so they can use the cloak to hide the gate.
    Well needless to say it worked but not exactly the way they had planned it.
    Jack and Sam finally get to have their moment together, and I do believe they liked it. I loved this episode, it had a lot of humor and action at the same time.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • In the original timeline, Kawalsky and Jack are both in the Air Force and served together prior to the SGC. In the alternate timeline (approx 1.5 minutes in), Kawalsky's uniform reads U.S. Marines, while the rest of the men in the briefing are wearing Air Force uniforms. Edit
    • First Prime Teal'c managed to pick out the camera from all of O'Neill and company's gear despite never having encountered Tau'ri technology before in this timeline. Edit
    • When the puddle jumper cloaks in the desert, there is no visible trace of it. There should have been indentations in the sand where it landed. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Amanda Tapping was pregnant during this episode. You can tell by her awkward stride. The crew had everyone wear gear that made them look puffy. Edit
    • This episode won a Leo Award for Best Costume Design in a Dramatic Series. Edit
    • In the scenes involving the jumper, the desert set being used in the filming is the exact same set used in the Stargate Atlantis episode: "The Defiant One" season one episode 12, in which Sheppard's team is sent to investigate a downed Wraith ship on a desert planet. Edit

    ADD QUOTES
    • Sam: I don't really like guns. Jack: (sarcastic) Neither do I. How do you feel about explosives? Sam: Those I like a little bit better. Edit
    • Hammond: Have either one of you even fired a weapon of any kind? Sam: Unless you count launching a rocket. Edit
    • Jack: Any idea what to expect? Sam: Not really. According to the tape, we're going to be demolecularized, transmitted over two thousand light years through subspace, and then, uh, rematerialized on the other side. Kawalsky: I did not need to know that! Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Jack: Close enough. At the end of the episode when SG-1 finally returns to their own time hoping things are back to normal, Sam notices that Jack's pond which was supposed to be barren, now has a fish in it. She points out this little disparity which Jack shrugs off commenting "close enough." In Jack's favorite show The Simpsons, there was an episode ("Treehouse Of Horror V") in which Homer time-travels, and after attempting to set things right, returns to his own time to finally find things back to normal, almost. He shrugged that off saying "close enough." Edit
    • Alternate Daniel: Well, it's a ship, it goes through the Gate, so... This conversation is very similar to the one on the Stargate Atlantis episode "Rising, Part 2." In both cases McKay thinks the name is "cool". Edit
