Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDon S. Davis's final appearance as part of the main cast. His character, General Hammond, was promoted to Lieutenant General and reassigned to the Pentagon to explain his absence. Although it was Davis's decision to leave the series for personal reasons, the change in the character's status is also consistent with real U.S. military protocol as Hammond, based on his approximate length of service, would likely need to be promoted to avoid mandatory retirement.
- GoofsAround 24 minutes, a hologram of Anubis appears in the Oval Office of The White House while the President, Vice President, Chief of Staff, etc. are all in the room. Several Secret Service agents fire a barrage of bullets at Anubis. Since it is a hologram of him, nothing happens to him. However, there is not a single bit of damage behind where he appeared. There should have been a significant amount to the room damaged by all the shots fired.
- Quotes
Dr. Elizabeth Weir: [over the telephone with the president] Prometheus can't win against an entire Goa'uld fleet, but it could buy SG-1 enough time to complete their mission.
Vice President Robert Kinsey: Mr. President, that is downright insane! I am relieving Dr. Weir and taking command of this facility!
Dr. Elizabeth Weir: [interrupts] Sir, from what I've looked at...
President Hayes: Will you shut the hell up?
Dr. Elizabeth Weir: I'm sorry, sir.
President Hayes: Not you, Doctor.
Vice President Robert Kinsey: Excuse me?
President Hayes: Consider your resignation accepted, Bob.
Vice President Robert Kinsey: You can't do that!
President Hayes: Oh please! I got enough on you to have ya shot.
Vice President Robert Kinsey: This is the biggest mistake you will ever make.
President Hayes: But I think I'll stick with my original thought which is shut the hell up!
Vice President Robert Kinsey: I promise, you will only live to regret this!
[exits the room]
President Hayes: Go ahead, Doctor Weir.

Kinsey shows his true yellowish colors in all their glory here, this time he can't hide what a Sleazeball he really is, kind of like our Current Senate.
Ironically, Kinsey manipulated the replacement of General Hammond "Of Texas" with Dr. Weir of... SCTV. Jessica Steen performs her last 45 minutes of her job as Weir admirably, I often think of how "Stargate Atlantis" would have fared had she been able to continue playing Weir.
This last half also gives us the visual impression of how Stargate Atlantis would look, this is our first view of "The Chair" from the Ancient's weapons platforms- And also the fish/squid type "Ordnance" which the Chair fires upon enemies. But only in their active states, to see what these little guys look like up close, you have to refer to the pilot episode of Atlantis.
All seems to have gone well, until the expected Anubis Traitor/Agent is revealed, guess who it is? The dope had never heard of "Tritonin", and Bra'Tac did not survive almost 140 years by being a dope. And so, SG-1 appropriates yet another Alkesh Bomber. These cool rides are never in the possession of Stargate Command very long, but long enough however to do some good.
This episode caps off 7 years of the Goa'Uld storyline and opens up the story of The Ancients. Even though a few Snakeheads are still in the stories, they focus on the final destruction of the remaining System Lords, ending with Ba'Al: And new Crooks and Bad Guys come out of the woodwork, as in the Atlantis "Wraith", which really only make one appearance in SG-1. As the episode ends, strains of Music that will later be heard in Atlantis play. In fact, from this point on, whenever the Ancients are referred to this same music plays- And it becomes part of the Theme Music for Stargate Atlantis.
You may enjoy the Lord-Of-The-Rings style collision of Alkesh Bombers with X302's over the Antarctic Weapons Platform. What we do not see, is Captain Cameron Mitchell (Who will be played by Ben Browder of Farscape) single handedly kicking some Alkesh Arses, and paying a steep price. But don't worry, you *WILL* get to see that, eventually.
This episode also reflects the change in SG-1 Venues, from Showtime to the then Sci-Fi Channel. I don't remember the exact SG-1 Season which marked the full switchover, that was probably Season 9. At this point, SG-1 was being shown during Sci-Fi's Prime Time, along with Farscape, which they eventually canceled so they could take on the full production of SG-1. When the Stargate Wormhole Effects from the Feature Film were no longer being used, and they started using the "Sliders" Slide effect, that was when this show was in Full SyFi mode.
