Episode discussed: Solitudes
This week, Jack O’Neill and Samantha Carter get stranded on an ice planet. Or is it… a nice planet? The answer is yes! So we have a very straightforward, internal character episode on our hands here, as on the surface level we concern ourselves with survival in a frigid cave with a grievously wounded colonel to take care of, and on the other level we come up with strategies as to how to find our missing friends. On a between-the-lines level though, we deal with the fact that this episode pretty much kickstarted the Jack/Sam ship that would go on to define a vocal portion of the fanbase. And it’s all a lot thanks to acting choices and an ad libbed boner joke!
We also wonder, what DOES happen when you dial your own number now? And we deal with technical issues through the unfathomable power of AI. And we peek into the past and witness how they did have so much fun shooting their silly little space show.
