The episode reminded me a little of the Star Trek TNG episode where they de-evolved, but was less offensive for someone like myself who doesn't subscribe to the theory of evolution. :)

I think my two favorite scenes were the one where Daniel and Jack got into their little tiff where Jack told Daniel to leave Sam alone. The other was when Jack came to his senses and said to Teal'c, "Lucy, I'm home!"

I wasn't impressed with the character Tuplo. Don't know if that's because of the character or the actor who played him.

This was our first episode with Dr. Frasier - yea Janet!

I thought the idea that anti-histamines completly prevented the disease seemed unbelievable. But then again a virus that could turn you into a caveman seemed rather unbelievable to me as well.

I thought the plot with the virus was weak but it was a good episode for all the humor and character interaction.

Loved Jack's line to Sam at the very end about what she wore in the locker room after he denied having any memory of the event.

How could you not like the scene where Sam throws Jack on the bench and jumps him. I'm sure Jack was very conflicted for a few seconds.

[Colonel Carter]

Male fantasy there.

Worm holes are still hard for me to believe, so I let the anti histamine thing slide in my book.

LOL!

I did like this episode.
