All these Jaffa kids training like they're on SG teams are going to be really bad once they infiltrate the SGC and have to serve with women.
Not one woman in their whole encampment until Carter shows up.
"What will become of us? Where will we go now?"
"Home."
Guys, you have an entire batch of obsessive, loyal young men trained to work with the SGC. Surely, you can find ways to give them some helpful options.
"I joined this program, so I could find my wife. I found her. End of story."
Okay, I really respect that the writers acknowledged that Daniel has completed the goal he set out on. You'd think something that monumentous would get wrapped into the plot of a season finale or mid-season 2-parter, so there's some comfort for fans (assuming you watched it as it aired) that the character isn't leaving the show. #SESG1
It's hard to believe Daniel might actually leave, because we all know there's nothing for him to go toward. What's he going to do, find a dig to join when he could be out face-to-face with alien civilizations? No one has said that, but you know every single person in Cheyenne Mountain understands it.
Except Daniel.

I don't like the transition to looking for the Harcesis kid. It really doesn't carry the show. Daniel says that every time he stepped through the gate, he hoped to see Sha're, but with exactly zero reminders of this after the first couple episodes (yes, rounding down here, not exact), is hard to believe. These plots don't carry the show at all, so it's hard to see how Daniel could have been so invested in them that when his search for her ended, he quit.
Not complaining. Just noting. #SESG1
"The SGC may be the single most important endeavor of mankind. You said that."
"The SGC will go on without me."
Me, on any team, any project, on a bad day. Totally been there.
I love Jack's responding look of, "I can tell you eight teiths about how much we need you, but you won't listen to a single one right now."
Jack is really good at tactical silence. #SESG1
I like the lighting in this episode. Everything is golden (like a hand device) when Sha're is around and goes back to cooler light afterward. I wonder if there's a way to do that in fiction through tone/word choice/motif.
How would you do that? (Not intended as rhetorical.) #SESG1 #WritingQuestions
"Haven't put his resignation papers in yet."
Good man. I mean, there's something slimy about not following through on someone's decision, but when you know they're dealing with fresh grief and it will be transparent to them... yeah... #SESG1
They established a love triangle among the amnesia vistims: the forgotten wife loyal to the husband, who's lusting after the new girl. They left the planet all holding hands (not remembering one another) and returned all holding hands (with the spouses' memory restored).
I hope they make a lovely throuple. #SESG1
