Yeah I think the show got to use some equipment as long as they didn't make the airforce look evil

2021-02-25 00:18:14 +0000 UTCOk, I don't particularly love this episode, but I don't really dislike it either. It's a little dull and doesn't accomplish much, but it does some things right. As others mentioned, it's pretty cool that they got the then USAF chief of staff on for a cameo. That and the fact they made RDA an honorary USAF officer shows how good a relationship SG1 had to the air force. If I recall this is the first time(aside from the mining camp in Spirits) that we see the SGC setting up a permanent offworld base, but ultimately everything that happened on the moon had plot device written all over it. Nothing that happened on the moon mattered in and of itself, this story was about Hailey. I think it's the fact that despite that the moon storyline takes up so much of the episode that drags it down a bit for me. What I see this episode as is a sneaky, pseudo Sam Carter origin story. We know Jackson's history and how he came to be who he is from back in the movie and moving forward, and The Curse expanded on that. We know Jack's tragic past with his son and some other things from his past(Solitudes, The Gamekeeper, A Matter of Time, etc..), we have a general picture of Teal'c's life up till he joined SG1, but we don't really know much about Carter's life before we met her in the pilot, aside from when her mom died and some family drama. Hailey is clearly meant to be Carter 2.0. They make it clear that everyone is comparing her to Sam. Now Carter is clearly much more grounded and humble than Hailey, but was she always, of was she just as arrogant and defensive back in the day. We see a bit of that in Children of the Gods when she meets O'Neill, and that was years after graduating and after a tour of duty in Iraq, experiences that would mellow her a bit. I think Hailey was was meant to show us exactly what Carter was like back in her academy days without doing a flashback episode. In doing this, we get an idea of what Sam has learned since then. Hailey is smart, very smart, but her main problem is thinking that being smart is the be all and end all of......everything. Carter being the big brain she is likely felt much the same way. Dr Hamilton clearly never grew out of that. What the scene where O'Neill says "it doesn't matter who's right" shows is that Carter has learned the lesson Hailey has yet to; that intelligence alone can't solve everything, and it needs to be tempered with other qualities like leadership, responsibility, courage, etc.. and that often you'll only contribute 1 or 2 of those to a team and rely on others for the rest. So yeah, I think this was a clever way to show us Carter's past by proxy. It works well enough.

2021-02-24 11:37:52 +0000 UTCIn retrospect I'm noticing how incredibly little they did with him here.

2021-02-24 09:24:35 +0000 UTCI think they expanded the program's teams by increments of 3, though I can't pinpoint which seasons they did that in. Was SG-9 the diplomat team?

2021-02-23 19:43:59 +0000 UTCYou probably already know this but the show had a strong relationship with the airforce as well as other branches of the military.

2021-02-23 12:04:44 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this episode - it's always nice to see someone's 1st time through the gate - the actress did a great job of expressing joy and wonderment - also her resting bitch face was on point.

2021-02-23 11:45:43 +0000 UTCLove this episode, i was in ROTC in high school and this was my 'what if' episode.
Amanda Logsdon
2021-02-23 06:28:42 +0000 UTCYep! 16th Chief of Staff. When RDA was awarded his honorary Brigadier General rank, he told a great story of talking with General Ryan between takes on the set. The full video is on YouTube, but there are spoilers for the rest of the series so I won't link it here.
