It opens with the angry tribe, with great Halloween hats, chasing
Connor and Frakes with nasty blow pipes... Ok Indiana Jones here
we come! Ooooh nasty man killed and set fire to Franks. SG-1 pop
through the gate with their FRED, who names these things? Entering
into a UV flooded planet to find SG-9.
Sunscreen! Don't leave home without it. The sunscreen not
a certain credit card, (if the certain Credit Card wants a mention
they better get in contact, its gonna cost you! lol)
Lt Connor tells of how Captain Jonas Hanson has gone all Godlike
and believes it of himself too.
Apparently Jonas was Sam's old flame and Jack and Sam have
a little argument over her going back to the SGC...she doesn't
want to go and he wants her to because of Hanson being her fiancé
in the past. She makes her case and says that is exactly why she
should stay. Whilst camping for the night and setting up groovy
alarms, they get attacked! No! I never saw that coming! Connor gets
captured.
Daniel and Sam chat over why she went out with Jonas, while they
walk to find Connor. How is it ok for a guy to have old flames and
can deal with them but it's not for women?
Anyway they discover the camp and see that Connor is tied to a stake
exposed to the UV light. Hmmm, crispy Connor. One of the natives
is beaten for not working so Sam leaps in and whacks the guard in
a great punch! Way to go! That was refreshing! Her comment great!
She is taken to Hanson. What on Earth did she see in him? The back-story
for Sam is a little woolly here. I think this could have been explored
better, but hey! They only have 43 minutes to tell the story! He
rants on about being a man of the people and that he is helping
them. But they are all very malnourished and tired from building
a temple. Sam pulls a gun on Hanson as he talks about their relationship
together... she can't shoot him. It's a cliché
oh please... It only serves to increase his delusion as she can't
bring herself to kill him. Anyone else found themselves chanting
SHOOT him!
Jack and Teal'c confront the man that was being beaten, who
then is convinced by Jack, Daniel and Teal'c that Hanson is
no god. Teal'c talks about a device that can protect the people
from the UV light and the man, Jamal, offers to help them find the
devices. Jonas takes Sam to the device in the caves and tells her
to make it work. He wants her to be his goddess. I resist the urge
to burst out with laughter there.
Jack dresses as the natives to infiltrate and save Connor. How
is it that whenever someone is taken out for their clothes, they
always fit? How do they know that the shoes will fit? Anyway, the
others go find the second device, which in the true spirit of TV
they find right away!
Jack lands himself in hot water as he tries to free Connor...
interesting use of the blowpipe! Oops busted! Jack and Conner are
captured and Jonas uses Jack to get to Sam. He forces her to get
the device working or he will kill Jack. Now that simply won't
do, there will be no series without him! Sam manages to get it to
work, but without the other device it does not create the shield
from UV. Jonas throws a paddy and orders everyone to the circle
of the gods...Stargate. There is way too much toy throwing here!
Jonas preaches a sermon and we see the gate is horizontal, how
on earth they did that I will never know. Jack and Connor are hand
tied and led to the Stargate edge. They are going to be tossed into
the wormhole without opening the Iris with the GDO... Noooo!
They will be squashed like bugs on a windshield.
They walk the proverbial plank. Sam kicks the gun out of his Jonas'
hand when he tries to kill Jamal, who bravely confronts him with
Teal'c's staff weapon. Sam is knocked down by Jonas and
Daniel starts to shout at everyone trying to convince them along
with Jamal, that he is not a God. When the followers finally get
it through their thick skulls, the group turns on their god and
toss him thru the open wormhole. The Orange energy barrier protects
the people and they live happily ever after. Awww nice bit with
Jack and Sam about how killing is always the hardest thing, even
when it's the right thing to do.
Moral: Could this be what's gonna happen to Earth if our Ozone
layer goes? Let this be a lesson to us eh? We don't have groovy
UV barriers that cast an Orange glow over everyone to protect us,
so damn well get rid of the CFC's people! |
