I will say though, that having people be proven wrong about a core concept of a show is almost always entertaining to watch. There is probably a trope for people who act like Kinsey...
More importantly though, season finale tiem!
Episode 22: Within the Serpent's Grasp
For some reason SG-1 decided that black was more their style this episode. Perhaps a visual cue that they are going rogue. How edgy.
First appearance of the Zat gun. This thing gets a bit overused down the line iirc. They needed something that could stun and not kill that wasn't guns I bet. Like how heroes in fantasy rarely get to use their sword to cut bad guys unless they are in a more mature setting.
Daniel: (staring at a huge floating sphere) Teal'c, What is this?
Teal'c: It is a Goa'uld long range visual communication device. Somewhat like your television, only much further advanced.
Jack: Ya think it gets Showtime?
It had to happen sometime eh?
Good thing this goa'uld ship has such convenient hiding places along the hallways. Architecture. Their one weakness. Also bullets.
An the infamous three shot rule. One shot stuns, two kills, and three disintegrates. That last one I hear gets dropped later on, something about being stupid.
No transparent material can withstand that speed Teal'c? Obviously Teal'c has never heard of transparent aluminum!
So they calculate the ship will take a year to get to earth moving at 10x the speed of light. Also Apophis has a son who is essentially second in command. It is Skarra. Welp.
C4 and a direct assault on Skarra. Classic SG-1.
Getting caught...classic SG-1
Apparently the ship is either faster than thought, or closer than thought because...they are passing by what looks like Saturn. I like how Saturn is always the posterchild of the solar system. Like, maybe Jupiter sometimes, but never the others. Mercury and Venus are past Earth so makes no sense to see them, Mars is too close to Earth, and Uranus and Neptune are a bit too far out and not nearly as recognizable by people. This is partially justified by Saturn truly being a pretty damn awesome sight to behold (and while all the other gas giants have rings, they pale in comparison to Saturn's)
Seriously? Now PISTOLS can take out a snakehead'd Jaffa? The only explanation is that Daniel Jackson has gained more levels than those gate guards who were sitting around playing poker. His guns are probably much higher tier and possibly rare drops. This makes a ton of sense to my gamer mind.
Two ships about to attack earth. End of the season and....To Be Continued. Argh cliffhangers I hate them. Now I gotta wait...a few seconds before I can continue.
