If they had one extra line about the equipment going through an x-ray and the one more later about the cameras being shielded or emitting some kind of false x-ray signature, that could have cleaned that right up and the rogue NID's involvement would explain how they got that capability.

There's been a few over the years. There's one where SG1 wants advanced tech and the aliens want heavy water. When Jack realises they're basically space Nazi's he destroys their base and leaves their leader to die. I remember the horror on Carter's face when she realises saving this man is within their power, but Jack will leave him to die for his beliefs. You see the comedian give way to the battle hardened vet that's seen things. It's an incredible scene

[@maverick8520]

[@0megacron]

Don't feel bad, Jack - this episode always irritated me, too. The "most secure facility on the face of the planet" consists of an elevator that goes straight down to the ship... and a grand total of four SFs guarding the place. A place like that would be crawling with guards. And when outsiders were scheduled to visit, there'd be more than usual, not less.

[@DavidSmith-fs5qj]

On top of that, they would have been working on the ship night and day, it's not as if they had all the time in the world.

@@EVAUnit4A Oh, agreed - the entrance would just be a shack in the desert. But once you take the elevator down into the base, there'd be guards all over the place along with multiple check-in points for civilian visitors.

[@epiendless1128]

I seem to remember Richard Dean Anderson himself was very unhappy with the idea that Prometheus could be stolen. The writers had to ensure Jack was nowhere near when in happened, and it's easy to imagine that Jack's anger here is RDA's anger.

[@Ragitsu]

"Enforced method acting"?

[@billtoo4694]

I was pissed to. I know they needed a plot for another episode, but this was lame. It made more sense once a rogue government agency was revealed, but I really think Startgate was better when they didn't borrow too heavily from X files.

As much as I love O'neill's irreverence and wack humor, its also good to remember that he's also a hard ass that earned his ranks through blood and tears and will fuck up anyone that truly pisses him off. I feel like we didn't get as much of that in he's later appearances in the franchise, almost became solely comedic.

[@willofone2120]

This is one of the few episodes that filled me with anger towards the selfishness of the rogue group. for all intense and purposes, the humans are at war with many factions and they compromise a key asset for 2 people. they are traitors of the human race.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

In fairness, part of the plan was to steal the Prometheus. Having that on their side would have been a major win for the rouge faction of the NID. The plan to get the two people was just a bonus and was likely intended to stall for time while they got everything ready to leave.

[@jimmiller5600]

Seems there's a lot of that going around.

[@VashtheStampede007]

I remember their plan was to use the ship to reach a Goa’uld weapons cache. At least that’s what the captured Goa’uld (one of the two people they demanded to release) told them. Their goal is to help defending the earth. The Goa’uld demanded to be released before telling them the location.

[@macmcleod1188]

They are not mistakes. It's just part off the process. It's a tv show, not a documentary. Were you not entertained? People have gotten real weird about the same actor being on a show multiple X also. But that used to happen all the time. If you watch old TV shows, you'll often see the same character actors in two or three different roles during the same season. Also a starring actor in different roles in different seasons

[@logical-checkmate]

@@macmcleod1188 The actor thing is completely understandable, long running TV show with many one off characters. Sooner or later you have to recycle actors. That said, the tire tracks is immersion breaking and is absolutely a mistake, because someone could have just went around and drive around it criss cross, creating more tire-tracks. You know, since there was at the time very serious incident that just happened and plenty of vehicles must have arrived. There, problem solved, immersion not only saved, but even increased. They didn´t, it´s a mistake.

At 0:05 through 0:09 there's a tracked vehicle in the background, 4 roadwheels, a front wheel and a rear wheel (cannot tell which one is the idler and which one is the sprocket), and no return rollers. (a later shot at 0:58 confirms it has a rear idler, meaning it has a front sprocket) Anyone here know for certain what that vehicle is? I dug about and it reminds me of an M114 Command and Reconnaissance Carrier, a vehicle designed to supplement the M113 in those roles during the Vietnam War but did such a terrible job at it that it barely saw any action and was replaced by the M551 Sheridan for recon and (probably) the M577 for command.
