AWESOME EPISODE! I really, really liked this one! The only thing that bothered me was that Jack and Sam didn't seem more concerned about Daniel at the end. And it was annoying for us not to really know what happened to Daniel, though we see him in the previews and for those of us who've read ahead, we get the basic idea.

Still makes me wonder why the Ancients built such a weapon.

And what happened to Anubis? Hello? He was totally absent. And what's with Baal seeming kind of good?

Well, I for one really, truly, sincerely HOPE that this is the end of the replicators once and for all!

[Anissa T]

I agree. I'm a bit tired of the replicator story.

I was suprised, but I did really like the interaction between Daniel and replicator Sam. I love him without his glasses.

Anyhow, what I liked was almost a battle between the two. I found it more intrigueing than them fighting with the replicators.

[Colonel Carter]

Personally I like Daniel better with his glasses. ;) It's fun when you can see two actors who play close friends and would never actually fight each other get to be in a situation where they do. Daniel would never grab Sam's arm like that and likewise, she would never hurt him because the other would never give them reason to. So I'm sure it's fun for them to get to do scenes like that, where they can behave in a manner which is contrary to their character without the audience exploding in anger. :)

[Anissa T]

I agree. Although, this is the very first episode that I've actually like replicator Sam. I don't often get into people playing dual roles.

[Colonel Carter]

I was thinking more like change in personality, like, for example, when Daniel had several consciousnesses inside of him. Although his portrayal of a little boy seemed a little weird. I don't think I've ever liked Replicator Sam. I'm glad she's gone. Well, I sincerely hope she is anyway. This is sci-fi after all. :)

She ain't gone!!! She and Daniel transported out just before the ship broke apart... didn't you catch the beam? It looked Asgard, but...

I saw Daniel getting transported out. But I didn't see that for the Sam replicator. Why would Oma Desala save a robot bent on destroying all biological lifeforms? I assumed that she just took Daniel.

[PKidd18]

Oma helped Daniel Ascend, AGAIN... LOL Not that I mind, it beats him getting dead again... :angel but, this whole killing daniel at least once a season thing is way old!!! And I agree that Sam and Jacks reactions were SOOO not what I was expecting at all!! I was expecting, oh, I dunno, concern for him, maybe!!!! That is the only part of this episode that I was really upset with (other than Daniel getting dead again... :-/)

[cheriewren]

Rumors say these questions will be answered next friday... anyone willing to lay bets? I think Daniel and Replicarter were transported away by person(s) unknown...
:throw :rings

[Anissa T]

I think Thor has them. But why he would take replicator Sam is beyond me.

[Colonel Carter]

Are we even sure she took the replicator? I was not left with that impression. A machine would be incapable of ascension to begin with.

[PKidd18]

That weapon was designed to take out all replicators, human form or otherwise... RepliCarter is gone...

The light we saw, at least I think, is from Daniel ascending again. :angel

But, those are just my opinions, I could be wrong!
