5:34 well you could try building your houses out of something other than bamboo and paper, judging by your outfits. I don't believe you, that's just the weather outside my door right now! 8:40 remember the Antarctica gate they found last season? Remember how you said "It's all been episodic"? hehehe 12:46 I also don't like this. You can't go to someone else's house, steal their TV remote, take it home, and use it to manifest a TV on your wall. It would be the controls for satellites around the alien planet or something. It should be a different technology. 19:25 or Tuesday in Finland. 41:15 also, why is Daniel here? He's a clutz and a nerd, and very much not a Navy Seal. He should be the getaway driver. 46:54 A janitor is going to knock that off the statue and your civilization will end. 50:19 He's a weasel. Send him after a snake so he doesn't bite you.

Definitely looks like some form of conspiracy...will be interesting to see who

And Mayborne is definitely the worst.

I’d argue the likes of Kinsey or Even Simmons to be far worse, but that’s not actually saying much as far as Maybourne goes. He still sucks, but someone may yet suck worse, ha.

Nadriel

To be fair, I'm not keeping great track of the human bad guys- Maybourne just manages to stick out for some reason.

As far as Hammond potentially learning a lesson from the spirits scenario. I will say as is often the case when Hammond does something less than ideal, it’s not always at his direct behest, often following orders knowing that decisions and directives that come far beyond him don’t always leave him a lot of control. He obviously could protest or object more in certain instances, but he also really is probably right to really pick his battles, when they impact the people he cares about most or just when it’s even possible that there would be any point to his action or inaction. I also have always been of the belief that Jack trusts him implicitly. It’s just there’s obviously more to the goings on beyond Hammond and Jack realizes he might not be privy to everything that he feels he should, but does also trust Hammond to come through and communicate whenever it actually counts. I feel like the doubts seemingly directed at Hammond are intentionally misdirects from the actual threat which is underground operations such as demonstrated here with the nid operated by the likes of Kinsey, Simmons, Maybourne and whoever else. I feel like you might be fixating on the messenger, who in this case is often Hammond, but you know what they say about shooting the messenger. I feel like his actual character and intent has always been presented as nearly unimpeachable. But that’s admittedly why I’ve always disliked these sorts of episodes, the whole military structure and espionage type episodes/conflicts. Thankfully the next episode is actually one of my all time favorites. In fact the next three are all excellent and iconic episodes. Most would probably agree the next four, but I have mixed feelings about episode 18. Unfortunately it will be a while till you reach the absolute best episodes or favorites of mine that top even this next one, but they are so worth the wait and have such incredible payoffs once you do. Along with there being tons of incredible episodes getting to that point. Oh and one final bit of trivia, the airforce were the ones to actually insist upon the line that “There are no aliens at Area 51”. As they took massive issue with Jack even jokingly mentioning aliens at Area 51 and it ended with them having to include that swift denial of aliens at Area 51. Something similar actually happened with Independence Day, which actually was produced and directed by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the same as the original 1994 Stargate film. Where they initially had the full support of the military for the film, but they refused to help them because of the direction and implications around Area 51 and aliens within the script. Which at that point Area 51 had yet to even be officially confirmed to exist and the military heavily denied its existence back in 1996 when the film came out. Which given their refusal to remove Area 51 from the film, they lost access to numerous resources and access to real aircrafts, so they used a combination of scale and full size models they made themselves. Along with having to rely on a combination of a civilian airfield in Utah and ironically still used Peterson Airforce base in my same hometown of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Which is also obviously where Stargate command is set, but instead in Cheyenne Mountain/Norad. In which case, there admittedly may be some connection or reasoning as to why the SGC within Sg1 became set within Norad in Colorado Springs. As the 1994 Stargate film was actually originally set within a fictionalized Creek Mountain Facility vaguely set somewhere in Colorado, despite having literally used the exact same establishing shots and filming of Norad. Many of which were also supposedly recycled/repurposed from War Games which was intentionally set within Norad.
