1. REJECTED DIALOGUE
Jacob: "You guys are the talk of the Tok'ra water-cooler."
Jack: "Damn. I should've known that Tok'ra chic would tell you about the hug. Does the whole universe have to gossip about Sam and I?"
Jacob: "Hug? What hug? What have you been doing to my daughter?"
Jack: "Um, never mind."
2. A Goa'uld hunt? Is that on horses with hounds? Or is it more like a snipe hunt? "Be vewy, vewy quiet. We're hunting Goa'ulds."
3. So Seth disappeared millennia ago, but Jacob thinks Teal'c might have met him? Where, at a Broncos game? The guy's been hiding out on earth all this time, so of course he'd want to hook up with the planet's one resident Jaffa sometime in the last two years. And Jacob is supposed to be the wisest of the Tok'ra. Really builds my confidence in them.
4. Seth is the embodiment of evil? Wow, he and Sokar must have gotten along great. They probably sat around laughing maniacally and plotting the deaths of their siblings. Or doing those great villainous musical numbers from Disney movies.
5. REJECTED DIALOGUE:
Jack: "We'll be cutting to the chase on this one. I'm the executive producer and I say we cut the boring exposition scene so we'll have more time for action sequences and my cool one-liners."
6. Needle in a haystack? I was thinking it was more like 'snake in the grass', but that could just be me.
7. So Selmak and Jacob have been arguing. I'm sure they're very calm and rational about it though. "It bothers you." "Does not." "Does too." "Does not." "Does too." "Not." "Too." "Not." "Too." "Not." "Not." "Too." "Gotcha." "Damn."
8. REJECTED DIALOGUE:
Teal'c: "... the Setesh guard's nose drips."
Jack: "Don't quit your day job."
Teal'c: "What does that mean, O'Neill."
Jack: "You'd never make it as a stand-up comic on this planet, buddy. Sorry."
9. Yes, Danny, because searching the CIA classified nets is always such a fun thing to do on a whim. Ever thought of hooking up with the Lone Gunmen?
10. "Overkill?" Nah, Seth probably considers it to be just enough kill. Of course, he doesn't consider mass suicide and chemical brain-washing to be overkill either.
11. REJECTED DIALOGUE:
Hamner: "Special Agent James Hamner, ATF."
Jack: "Dang. All right, Carter, you win. What do I have to do?"
Sam: "I'd rather not tell you in front of my father, Sir."
12. Just what was it about the name Fargough that Jack found so surprising and interesting that he had to mouth it Danny? Did he expect Seth to call himself Goa'uld? He didn't think Seth Gould would have been a little bit obvious?
13. Yes, Teal'c, we remember 'Family'. You don't have to give us a summary of the plot.
14. REJECTED DIALOGUE:
Hamner: "He seems to have a thing for you."
Jack: "It's completely platonic. Although, I am a little miffed that I had to have Hammond call him. You'd think that after you save the world a couple times the President would take your calls."
15. REJECTED DIALOGUE:
Danny: "If Seth's m.o. hasn't changed, we know certain things from the digs at Giza and the valley of the kings."
Sam: "We do?"
Danny: "Well, by 'we' I of course meant me. I just thought I'd be nice and make it sound like the rest of you have a clue of what I'm talking about. Kind of like you do with Jack."
16. Think about it, Sam. Seth can sense Teal'c and Dad, but you don't think he'll sense the naquada in you? Sure, you keep telling yourself that.
17. Gotta love how Jacob doesn't even blink when Jack calls him 'Dad'. Guess he already thinks of Jack as a son, that's got to be a good sign.
18. Notice that Sam didn't put her earpiece in before she had Teal'c test them. She just really enjoyed giving Jack and Danny a good jolt, maybe a little too much.
19. Hard to say who was more thrilled by Danny's little revelations of how Seth treats his minions, Jack or Sam. Come to think of it, they both seemed far more upset by the prospect of Jack getting snippity-do-da-ed than Sam ending up in a harem. Wonder why Sam would care so much about that.
20. So Sam is Moe and Danny is Curly? Okay, that would have made a lot more sense if Danny still had long hair. Or had cut his hair even shorter.
21. How exactly did they explain the Egyptian drug dispensers, transport rings, and armory of zats to the all the ATF people when they came in for clean-up? "Oh, that, yeah. Well you know those pesky cultists."
22. Did Sam tell everyone about Jacob's problems with Mark? Both Joe and Teal'c were looking so pointedly at Jacob when they were talking about fathers and sons. I can just hear her: "Now, my dad and my brother haven't spoken in years. I want you guys to lay a heavy guilt trip on him every chance you get."
23. Seth should really figure out that interrogating people who've had their memories wiped isn't going to get him very far. No wonder he made so many enemies. He's an idiot. Speaking of which, the leather trench coat with the white cotton outfit--not exactly high fashion.
24. Votes on whether Jack really wanted Sam helping people escape or he just wanted her in safety if Seth blew the compound?
25. I really think they should just make a ribbon device part of Sam's standard issue weaponry for missions. And have her keep a healing device in her pack. Probably save a lot of time.
26. "Hail Dorothy." The Wizard of Oz jokes just keep coming. If Jack ends up on 1939 luxury liner in the Bermuda triangle with doppelgangers of everyone he knows I'm going to scream--unless of course he gives Sam a long deep kiss before jumping overboard.
27. Let me get this straight, Mark wouldn't go see Jacob on his deathbed and hasn't spoken to Sam in years, but when they show up on his doorstep it's all big hugs and happy family reunions. Right.
28. So the guy playing Mark basically got paid to hug Amanda Tapping? Rough gig. Wonder how many takes they had to do.
