My brother seemed to like Sam with long hair. :rolleyes

Fun episode but the idea of parallel dimensions makes me dizzy. :nah

I don't really like Sam with long hair. It doesn't suit her. I thought the episode was interesting enough. I also don't think it was a good idea to take Katherine out after this episode. She should have been in more episodes than the three she was in. I give it maybe 7 stargates.

[Colonel Carter]

She was in three? I only remember two. This one and "The Torment of Tantalus."

I liked this episode quite a bit, but I have a hard time "in reality" accepting the concept of parallel universes. I mean, I'm sure it could exist, just having a hard time fathoming the same thing existing a the same time, but somewhere else. But, then again, this is just TV.

I love the episodes where they show an AU. I always find them fascinating. I would love to know what had been happening in this world prior to the Goa'uld attack - for example, did their Sam spot the constellations or did Catherine or somebody else?

The bits between AU Jack and AU Sam were really sweet, they always get me teary.

9/10 stargates.

I liked this episode as well. I enjoy watching the actors play their roles a little different. esp Sam. It always makes me wonder how she would have turned out if she never went into the millitary.

One thing I really love about the episode was that it showed that it would have been possible for our Sam and Jack to have a personal relationship without it adversely affecting their working relationship.

General O'Neill and Dr Carter were completely professional, even when faced with disaster.

Sorry for the latness in posting here...

This is one of my favorite episodes. Because it captures some of the coolness of the ghouled. Some reason they could never capture some of the things in this episode. Everything doesent always go according to play, like with convincing teilk. The whole scene with the mothership coming over- Vibrating, shadow, Giant ship, and the music. Why did the music seem better...

In the end I much enjoyed this one :p

Dracus,

Glad you found us. I will update your post count with your old posts.

No time limit here. We all watch the old ones at different times, and sometimes after the sixth time of watching the show you pick something up that you want to share.
