Literally the cost of buying a pizza to watch everything fully in advance. WORTH!

[@ScarlettM]

Would you consider creating a patreon membership level for just SG-1 reactions? I'd really love to see full episode reactions, but $15 is a lot for one tv show. Maybe something around $3-$5?

[@heathermakesthings5499]

@@ScarlettM Ooh good idea.

[@xadam2dudex]

Just curious are you a high school or college student ?

[@tierneybeckett]

I really feel like this is the episode where Michael Shanks started putting more of his stamp on Daniel. Alternate realities are so fun.

[@heathermakesthings5499]

You are so excited for this show and it makes my day.

[@pezdispencer113]

This episode can be seen as the first of a 4 part season finale. The next two episodes and the first episode of S2 tie directly into what is happening here.

[@mscolli3]

Glad to see you are getting a taste of the AWESOMENESS to come.

[@hemmojito]

"Chevron 9 mm encoded"🤣 ahh never stop with the puns bro keep 'em comin'

[@ellenboucher771]

Been loving watching SG1 along with you. The entire series honestly has the most incredible balance of seriousness and humour. I reckon the cast and crew get more confident and comfortable with the characters and character directions as the series progresses as well. You get dem feels as the series goes on, man :P

[@Rocksteady72a]

Tbh, the only time that balance goes wonky is series 9, but they bounce back after. Honestly can't wait for failwhale to get into the later events of the Stargate continuity :D

[@ssjwes]

@@Rocksteady72a Just thinking about all the episodes to go, so much to come!

[@jpwphoenix1701]

One of my all-time favourite episodes. I'm a massive alternate-reality fan, it's always great to see different versions of the characters and settings. I don't know if you noticed but the big SGC emblem on the wall in the meeting room had been changed to SGA, although I don't know what the "A" stands for. Anyway, fantastic reaction, as always!

[@LOTRFAN33]

I always thought the solution was for Daniel and the rest to go to the beta site and Daniel could dial to the mirror planet from there. But of course we needed more drama.

[@betsyknox4745]

I was just about to say that but as you say we needed the drama.

[@brigidtheirish]

And the civilians probably didn't think of the longer route while under so much pressure. Especially after O'Neill said they wouldn't survive long enough to dial *anywhere.* So they couldn't get another group of refugees through, thus sending him to the beta site seemed pointless. Not to mention them not wanting the Goa'uld to know where the beta site is. There's too much of a chance of the enemy being in a position to see the address. Oh, thought I'd mention one problem I *do* have with the episode. That the little robot they send to check that worlds are safe to explore apparently doesn't have a way to measure radiation.

[@zarnox3071]

Love the variety in Stargate.

[@unclelink]

Anyone remember Sliders (came out years before)? I had an idea of a Sliders-like show/Stargate SG1 spinoff involving the mirror and a group of misfits.

[@sonnieWithjuice]

Yeah

[@marrenby]

Uncle D Link Yes, this episode is a bit Slider-like at least what happened to Daniel.

[@darthken815]

YES!!! Loved Sliders.

[@nachgeben]

Sliders was a good like proto-multi-dimensional show. Before, we mostly saw time messed with in shows, not so much dimensions. I mean, dimensions happened, but not nearly in the frequency it would post-Sliders. I think people really realized the potential of multiple dimensions, because you don't have to worry about time paradox stuff.

[@JohnDoe-ls2zu]

@@nachgeben Haven't seen Sliders. Thanks for the tip. Oh, have we forgotten Star Trek the Original Series episode Mirror, Mirror? The alternate universe ideas started with this episode.

[@einosig]

this is where SG1 moves from Good to Excellent

[@nachgeben]

I'm dying at the video freezing image. I'm sorry, but it's legit funny.

[@seanarankin73]

I love that you're getting into SG-1. It has always been a favourite of mine.

[@DaDunge]

It's not really coincidence so much as you noticing things because you have seen the movie, there have been other such moments you have missed earlier like when they read Daniel's diary in Fire & Water.

[@brigidtheirish]

"Chevron 9mm encoded!" LOL! The road to Chevron Guy becoming your favorite character has begun!

[@everythinggamingnow]

god, i love any time travel/alternate reality stargate episodes. Theres soooo many great ones, especially one of my faves in atlantis, without giving much away, the one with the "frozen" lady

[@Forbidaxe]

Alt realities are the best aren't they.

[@matthewzeller5026]

Much like time travel, it can be done really well or it can completely ruin a story. With Stargate I think it's done well.

[@JarvisBrodie]

I would say so too! Plus, when you think about it, there are Alternate Realities can be a lot better than the Prime Reality. For example, from the current perspective, one can imagine life in the Alternate Universe being totally different from what life is today. In which case, (without getting too political) there would be no Donald Trump as president, no COVID-19, Transgender Hate Crimes would be much lower than they are now, just to name a few. You see what I'm saying?

[@csgamer89]

@@JarvisBrodie There's also the possibility that you'd end up in a real bad alternate reality, but I agree with you otherwise. The rewards outweigh the risks if you ask me.

[@TheOtherGuys2]

Personally, this episode has long been one of, if not the number one favorite episode of SG1 overall. The way it effectively sets up for the Goa'uld invasion to come is awesome.

[@marrenby]

Yes, this is a great episode. I’m so excited to see your reaction to the next two!! Get ready!!

[@jasonscottjenkins]

Part 1 of a 4 parter!

[@Kriosaivak]

“Chevron 9mm, ENCODED!” Lmao

[@peadarruane6582]

That is one of my favourite episodes. And this is the point that I think the show went up a gear, and started getting really good. I loved the alternate history. Great reaction. Funny line about the 'I think I just died' :D

[@Sentinel3D]

I've seen every stargate. It only gets better.

[@swolf712]

Actually, funny that you asked if this was supposed to be part of the movie canon... Roland Emerich and Dean Devlin's original sequel plans apparently involved a scenario very much like this, where there was a retaliatory strike on Earth, with a third movie being a final all-out war between these aliens and the nearly-conquered humans a la the one that originally overthrew the "Goa'uld" on Earth. Not sure if it's coincidental or intentional that this ep was sorta like that, but it's interesting.

[@karenhall4645]

This is still one of my favorite Stargate season 1 episodes.

[@xentoip]

*Classic* StarGate! 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO 'ERE WE GO!!!

[@madcinder257]

Might want to fix that freeze. Such a great episode, and so glad to see you so excited about it.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

the good thing about SG-1 is that discrepancies to the movie including different actors can be attributed to it being alternate universes.

[@Ten13Grl]

It's probably my twisted sense of humor, but in my head I always finish the computer's countdown to self destruct as "3. 2. 1. Have a nice day!"

[@momogoes3329]

[@pokemaniac3141]

Been waiting for this one! Did not disappoint! :D Definitely one of my favorites, probably my favorite episode from season 1

[@avlinrbdig5715]

more frequent stargate episodes????!!!!!! :D :D :d :D :D :D

[@erictaylor5462]

A couple of years ago I had a medical issue and my doctor told me to go to the ER. Once there the triage nurse asked me why I was there and I said I had an issue with my bowls. She asked, "What is it?" and I answered, "It's a long tube in your belly where your food goes, but that's not important." The look on her face slowly shifted from surprise to delight and sha said, "I can't believe that happened! It turned out her boyfriend had shown he a movie she had never even heard of, Airplane! just the night before. Now that is great timing! I saw the nurse later telling others what had happened, then as I was leaving she was outside talking on her phone to someone telling them what had happened. I'm betting it was her boyfriend.

[@timsimmons4283]

One of my favourites!

[@kosi82]

When you get an opening in your calendar for sci-fi shows, I'd suggest Farscape if you haven't seen it. It's not super well known, but it's pretty darn good and no one on YT seems to have reacted to it, that I've seen. Also, some actors from the show appear in episodes way (way, way, WAY) down the line and it could really help get some jokes 😁.... pretty sure that's not a spoiler but lmk.

[@nikolai60]

Seconding Farscape.

[@KEVMAN7987]

Ah yes, the joke from episode 200.

[@RndOrc]

[@martinleopard193]

[@omalleycaboose5937]

The thing is they essentially already lost their reality... all they could do other than help Daniel is try for revenge

[@craigescapeddetroit5198]

Sadly, the "finalé" conclusion to this episode is delayed until they resolve certain situations first. But they put everything together really well and tie up the loose ends. In between now & when they go back, some things happen that are cleverly incorporated into the "conclusion", and it is Brilliant, amazing, very well done (as always). I will say only that season 2 has many great adventures that prepare things for the conclusion, and when you finally get to the conclusion you will see the fantastic reasons why you had to wait. If you skipped ahead you would miss so many foundations and you would not know the full story. There would be too many unanswered questions that take away all the fun. So take it slow and it will all make sense.

[@DaDunge]

9:50 Well yes and no, Daniel could dial the world with the mirror from the Alphasite. So really they could go along with their evacuation plans, really there should be no argument. Striking back at this point is useless anyway.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

There's also the fact that the address in question wouldn't have worked anyway since it was for the Gate onboard one of the Hataks, and thus disconnected from the network(or changed addresses?) when it moved due to the shift in location.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

9:48 is it really a hard ask? Option 1: You strike at your enemy in a futile last move that accomplishes nothing of value to you in pure spite, while also dooming another planet. Option 2: You save an entire planet from the same fate as yours. I think the choice is pretty easy.

[@robertmartin9029]

Sadly it isn't that easy. After all of the losses that the inhabitants of the Alternate Earth have experienced the decision is going to be heavily influenced by their psychology rather than "simple logic,". While it is logical to make the decision to save another world rather than make a futile counterattack, for someone who has been through the trauma of watching their world be destroyed it would be extremely difficult to do anything but make that attack in an attempt to get some sort of revenge. We can see similar results today where many people are ignoring logic in favor of decisions that are psychologically more satisfying, even as it is killing thousands of us daily.

[@GermanLeftist]

@@robertmartin9029 It's not about logic, it is about doing the right thing. The morally right thing to do here would be to help others instead of exacting an act of revenge that is definitely going to fail anyway.

[@quinnsinclair7028]

Why didn't they evacuate everyone to the beta sight then they could nuke Chulak and the destroyer's world from there as well as send Daniel home from there?

[@Hawkcam1996]

Daniel was being really selfish in this episode. He could’ve just evacuated with the people of that Earth and *then* went back to the mirror from the Beta Site, but instead, he convinced them to give up their only chance of escape for the *chance* that he’d save a different Earth.

[@Krawurxus]

This episode always rubbed me the wrong way. I mean they've got that mirror and an open gate connection. Why weren't they preparing to take as many people through that mirror as they can? I mean they'd be safe. They aren't saving anyone outside that base anyways.
