“ if I ask you and you say classified I’m gonna shoot you” love that line

[@sashazukiwskyj3071]

If the roles were reversed Jack would have shot her for asking

[@samsonguy10k]

This bit is rather tough. Markov's emotion is exactly what any of the team would be feeling if they had come back to the SGC and found everyone dead.

[@keithtorgersen9664]

And it’s natural that Sam would reach out to show empathy.

[@DayneTreader]

It took me a second to realize that was Marina Sirtis. She aged like wine from her days in Star Trek

[@epiendless1128]

I think I'd at least insist on using a chair that didn't just have a dead guy in it. (What with dead guys tending to leak.)

[@jimhal5553]

But he still had his pants on.

[@rifelaw]

@@jimhal5553 Soaks straight through.

[@kirishima638]

Shame she wasn't a recurring character. Of course, she would have lost her Russian accent and would be speaking cockney after a few episodes. And she would have had a short lived fling with Teal'c.

[@jamesmartin9401]

Probably.

[@DarkKnight52365]

she would've been great on atlantis

[@samsonguy10k]

It was nice that at least her character got a mention in a further episode.

[@idiefree]

@@samsonguy10k I don't remember that

[@develynseether4426]

@@idiefree the following Season in 'The Tomb' Col. Zukhov tells O'Neill that Dr. Markov is a friend of his.

[@SirCraigius]

I think its kinda ironic that O'Neill thought it was shocking the Russians had a protocol to nerve gas their base in the event of a serious threat, considering the SGC had a self destruct system built in for the exact same reason. The only real difference is you can cancel the self destruct, but the nerve gas is pretty much game over when you trigger it.

[@BlackDiamond2718]

plus you kill off anyone who could fix it because they knew that there was a problem

[@shadenox8164]

I feel like he was more concerned about the gas still lingering.

[@BlackDiamond2718]

@@shadenox8164 that too but still

[@johnsierra8537]

is this deanna troi?

[@SGtidbits]

Yes, it's Marina Sirtis.

[@davesdatasystems]

Just watch this episode today

[@turbopokey]

I find it hilarious to think that Marina got old and in this episode she’s running around and stunting a whole lot more than she ever did on the entirety of ST:NG and was young and probably could have shrugged off the aches and pains with an aspirin and a beer. 👩🏻‍🦳👨🏻‍🦳⚡️😵‍💫🍺💊

[@rudolphantler6309]

Wait how does gas "evaporate" ? :D This is a question both Teal'c and Tuvok would remark "INDEED".

[@hadorstapa]

Should be neutralized or denatured in some way. Put it down to the language barrier.

[@rudolphantler6309]

I guess Betazoids speak broken english. :D

[@rockdragon100]

bad choice of words. decompose would be more accurate

[@darkporis]

hi there marina sirtis

[@christosvoskresye]

Hi there Russian accent ... and now it's gone, and she's Deanna Troi again ... and now she remembers she's supposed to be Russian, and the accent returns ... and so on through the whole episode.

[@Morgan_64]

anyone know what Episode this is?

[@SGtidbits]

Season 4 episode 7 - Watergate www.imdb.com/title/tt0709217/

[@andrewshouse9840]

Is it just me or is this basically Chernobyl Stargate-style?

[@calhoun1968]

Yup, it's just you!

[@ThePilot3332]

there was barely any outside help during Chernobyl

[@andrewshouse9840]

Russian disaster, investigating the area, unusual experiments... I'm reminded of Chernobyl, perhaps by when Markov exclaims "what were they doing?!?!"

[@daenerysdivine1906]

Her accent is a little off, but that's okay.

[@DarkKnight52365]

too bad she didnt become a series regular on atlantis

[@Ideo7Z]

She probably didn't want to do another sci fi series coming off Trek or was too expensive...

[@keithtorgersen9664]

I seem to remember her as a villain in another show. I want to say it was one of the Ben 10 live action films.

[@shadenox8164]

Atlantis would have worked since it was an international expedition.
