1. Gotta love those Big Ass Flashlights. For a minute there I thought I was watching The X-Files. At least Jack isn't in the habit of dropping his gun.

2. REJECTED DIALOGUE
Teal'c: "A rival league of lesser Goa'uld who challenged the System Lords."
Jack: "A minor league."
Teal'c: "Yes, it is a little known fact that the Goa'uld were the inventors of baseball. I, myself, was pitcher for Apophis's team. We went to the Galactic Series in my final year, however we were defeated by the Yankees."

3. Ooh, ghosts. How appropriate that this is airing right before Halloween. Maybe next they'll run into vampires. I bet Sam would make a great Slayer.

4. Actually, Danny wasn't hallucinating yet in the locker room scene. What he heard was actually Janet, who regularly sneaks in when he's alone to catch him in the shower.

5. REJECTED DIALOGUE
Daniel: "There has to be a logical explanation."
Jack: "I can't believe you, of all people, are trying to Scully me."
Daniel: "So you don't think I should dye my hair red?"

6. REJECTED DIALOGUE
Janet: "The humans were normal. No wounds, no infections."
Daniel: "Then why are they dead?"
Jack: "Ooh, I know this one! I just read it in the new Harry Potter book. Voldemort's Avada Kadavra Curse, right? What? I read."

7. Isn't it nice that even in the infirmary Jack can find something to keep his hands occupied with? I really hope that I.V. bag wasn't supposed to be used for Danny. It's time to get that man a Slinky or some Silly Putty to carry around.

8. "Sam can figure that part out." It's nice to know how the division of labor works for SG-1. Somebody comes up with a completely bizarre theory and then Sam has to figure out a way to explain it. No wonder she doesn't get to have a life outside the SGC.

9. REJECTED DIALOGUE
MacKenzie: "Doctor Fraiser's been treating you for headaches lately, hasn't she?"
Jack: "Yes, but that's a side effect of all the underlying sexual tension between Sam and I, not the Gate travel. It manifests in me as migraines, Sam suffers in the form of obsessive compulsive overwork. Right, Sam?"
Sam: "I wouldn't say obsessive, but otherwise that sounds about right."

10. So traveling through the Stargate causes migraines? That's a better explanation than I've gotten from any of the doctors I've seen about them.

11. There's no history of schizophrenia in Danny's family? Obviously nobody's given Janet the scripts for the end of this season yet. I believe we've just suffered a hit and run by the Continuity Bus.

12. I hope Jack kept his "calming effect on stressed out people" in mind when Danny was attacking him to get rid of the return of the CGI snake.

13. No, Daniel, they took away your glasses to teach you not to take them for granted. Besides, it's not like you wore them consistently anyway.

14. REJECTED DIALOGUE
Teal'c: "There is no one at my side, Daniel Jackson."
Daniel: "I see dead people."

15. Even when Daniel is sane and acting normal, they still think he's crazy. Of course, I get that all the time. Probably right in both cases.

16. The only way Sam and Jack could be sitting any closer together on that infirmary bed would be if she were actually in his lap. Which also explains why Jack is sitting on his hands, it's the only way he can keep them off her.

17. Danny was infected while in HazMat gear, but Sam and Janet think their gloves will protect them? And these are our scientists? No wonder they have so much trouble.

18. Did anyone else half expect to see black oil swimming over the eyes of the people infected?

19. Possession by alien organisms ranks right up there with infection by alien viruses, right? Too bad Janet was locked up in there with Sam and Jack. We might have finally been treated to a reverse version of the locker room scene from "Broca Divide".

20. Janet's infected and Daniel's willing to risk reinfection to go in and help? Hmm, I'm sure there's no significance to that.

21. Hathor's Goa'uld left Jack's body before it died? How does Sam know? Jack was in a cryo-pod and she was being tortured. Maybe they thought it would be too much of a plot device to give Jack all those ex-host powers. Of course that didn't stop them with Sam.

22. Does it worry anyone else that an astrophysicist is so good at drawing her own blood? That doesn't seem like something you practice doing just for kicks and giggles.

23. We're not even going to ask if Danny was actually paying attention to what Sam was doing or if he was too busy watching Janet strip.

24. REJECTED DIALOGUE
Dr. Warner: "See if there's any dry ice."
Sam: "Yeah, there's a ton of it left over from our Halloween party. Remember I went as Dorothy and Jack was the Scarecrow, Teal'c was the Tinman, Janet was Glenda, and Danny insisted on being the Great and Powerful Oz."

25. Jack's thoughts right after the little white things came out of his ear: "Ooh, bait! Bet I can catch some great fish with these things. Maybe I can get Sam to go with me."

26. Only on Stargate can villains and pseudo-villains wreak more havoc after they're dead than they did when they were alive.

27. And the Deux Se Machina that is Jolinar saves the day again. Am I the only one getting tired of this?
