and the countdown has ended....
i missed a few minutes here and there but this was a total, 1000%, grade a keeper.
it starts iwth sg-1 coming back, at least 3 of them, reporting to hammy that jack & lt tyler got separated adn the planet's crawling with jaffa and they need help. course the rub is no one has any idea who tyler is so....hammy confines the trio to the base, at gunpoint. literally. there's some team loyalty for you, all three of them were ready to get nasty. ooh, and girls, danny has his bandana....
slight pause for drooling
back to the planet, jack and lt tyler find a ruin to hide in. little talking here and there...btw: canon info, jack was born in chicago, grew up in minnesota. that's why the goa'uld want earth..minnesota.
anywho, hammy considers sam, danny & tealc compromised and can't send anyone else cause they culd be influenced too.
now the fun begins as the ever so smarmy, slimy and weasely col. simmons shows back up(if you had any doubt, john de lancie is a baddie...total nut case, likely backed by kinsey is my guess)
he's been logging into the sgc mainframe and trolling through their archives, basically hunting for dirt.
he interrogates them, asking danny about sarah (whose last name is gardener), asks about his girlfriend getting snaked, worried about alien influences on the sgc.
the line of the week goes to teal'c. when simmons is harrassing him about switching sides he says "how do i know you're loyal to the sgc?"
to which t-man replies: "it would be immediately apparant as i would not nesitate to kill you where you sit." in that calm voice ofhis ROTFLMAO. totally priceless...
then comes sam, simmons confronts her about jolinar, the main frame and let's not forget last week when she harbored an alien in her livingroom...sam is totally ticked off...she has a look on her face that would curdle milk.
she instead confronts him about being user 4574, the person who's been trolling the archives. he ends the interview.
eventually janet figures out the chameleon thing (it's a natural defense mechanism of his race the Reol, they defend themselves by blending in.) course by this time the alien is confessing all to jack cause the jaffa are surrounding him and he doesn't want jack to die for him.
jack doesn't care, he won't leave tyler(ok his real name is like kryiyiya...let's stick with tyler
)
there are some spectacular battle scenes, jack creams like 90% of the hunting party...and just as the rest of them are setting to finishing him off...sg-1 shows up with timing that is text book and tv drama perfect.
trouble now is the gate is guarded by like 50 jaffa...they leave danny with tyler and go to scavenge the canon from a glider jack shot down(yep he shoots down a glider ...cool huh?)
tyler zats danny who has the second best line.
'why didn't you stop him" - jack
'I was too busy being unconscious after he shot me with the zat you gave him' - danny LOL
in the end they rescue tyler, who then goes to his new home world. seems his people are hunted by the goa'uld since they want to figure out their chameleon thingie...jack suggests maybe they coudl be friends...tyler says it's not his decision but maybe...
but an ominous note: as hammy is kicking simmons out of the sgc he goes.
'Do i have to escort you out?' -hammy
'No general. i know how to leave gracefully. I just hope you do.' -simmons.
oh boy....this does not bode well at all...
on the plus side, danny has his dana...and he fires a p-90 like a pro.
ooh btw..tyler took his name from the MRE labels "made in Tyler TX."
this is definitely one to rewind and enjoy a time or ten
