(First watched 2008-03-08) Another big reset button episode, this time taking us the farthest out in time we've seen in Stargate: circa 50,000 C.E. There's a bit of a Red Dwarf quality to it, in that Sheppard could potentially be the last human around, with only a hologram recreation of his dead buddy McKay as company. | |||
Of course the big fun of a reset button episode is we get to see quick bits of important happenings that then don't matter in canon. McKay and Keller marry, though she dies due to complications from repeated exposure to Michael's virus. Teyla is killed by Michael after she has her baby, which he uses to finish his hybrid program. Sam dies during ship-based guerilla actions against Michael's people, and is replaced by Woolsey (Ghost of season 5 yet to come.). And in what seemed particularly touching in a weird way given his history and feelings toward the Wraith, Ronon goes out fighting side-by-side with Todd. In non-death-related happenings, General Lorne is in command of the SGC. | |||
It kinda irks me that occasionally there'll be these episodes where we basically learn that the original group of people is completely screwed without a chance... except for extra knowledge/help from a failed future. It's happened a few times on both Atlantis and SG-1. | |||
A question, though: what was the deal with all the fancy science McKay had to do for years before setting up his hologram for John? I mean, even by the 1990s the SG program knew how the whole solar flare time travel thing worked, so it wouldn't be that. Was the problem with how to allow holo-McKay to predict an appropriate solar flare in advance? I recall the solution in the [[Stargate SG-1 Season 2|initial SG-1 episode on this]] had them stuck in the past with the date already given to them. | |||
