How do the Argosians have so much food, when they’re not allowed to leave their village and there’s no gardens in sight? Where is it all being grown? What about the animals they presumably slaughter for meat? If all the Argosians are constantly celebrating, then who’s cooking/drugging all the snacks? Wait, is this what all the older villagers do? Is that why we never see them? How large is the Argosian population, and how large a seed group did Pelops use? If there’s only enough of them to fill a village, and they’ve been through Pelops knows how many generations by now, shouldn’t they have some serious genetic diseases? Isn’t evolution usually driven by the need to adapt to a new environment? Don’t researchers do experiments on adaptation by changing some part of an animal’s environment, like diet or radiation levels or whatever? How did Pelops intend to test human evolution if their environment never changed? Is he just the dumbest researcher in the galaxy? Fraiser rig up this ridiculous flask contraption? Is she running an illicit still? Whoa, Teal’c can read Linear A? I mean, I believe it, because Teal’c can do anything, but isn’t Apophis an Egyptian god? Does being a First Prime involve learning lots of Goa’uld languages? Just how many ancient untranslated texts could Teal’c shed light on? Why isn’t this ever pursued further? What is it with this “Surprise, now that you’ve eaten the cake/worn the flower crown, we’re married!” trope, anyway? Why is it the women in them are clearly attracted to the men because they’re outsiders, but don’t seem to understand that outsiders by definition won’t know their customs? Wouldn’t any actual person in this situation start off by asking the guy if he wants to get married, or whether he’s already married, or at the very least, whether he even likes women? Is this a metaphor for the frat-boy fear of getting “trapped” in a relationship after a one-night stand?Īlso, legally speaking, did Jack sleep with someone who’s thirty-one years old, or someone who’s thirty-one days old? Why did the episode veer away from this question when it’s the most interesting part of this dull and mawkish mess? O’Neill, why did you eat the marriage cake immediately after observing how “off” everything felt? Why did you keep eating it, even after your vision began to swim? I understand the ’90s were a simpler, more DARE-ing time, but have you never heard of roofies?ĭoes this make Kynthia a manic pixie ecstasy girl? If every Argosian is blessed with a hundred days of life, and one day ages them by approximately one Earth year, then why are all the visible villagers under forty? Is this a Logan’s Run situation?

Why are Daniel and Thetys so clean after delivering a baby? Did they leave a giant pool of blood on the Gate room floor? And, again, why were they even in the Gate room? Argos may not be a literate or scientific civilization, and I guess they don’t have individual houses, but wouldn’t it be pretty simple to have a dedicated birthing place, if only so that they’re not constantly scrubbing blood off their holy temple?

Why did Alekos take his wife into the Stargate room to give birth, if her delivery was proceeding smoothly enough that a guy who was once friends with a midwife could successfully deliver the baby? Why did SG-1 try to deliver the baby themselves, when they were standing right next to a device that could deliver qualified medical professionals to them within ten minutes? Vicious Cycle: The meteor shower happens every year and reaches apocalyptic proportions every 150 years.Why, after the beautiful episode that is “The Nox,” did you do this to us?.Ungrateful Bastard: One of the Edorans blames O'Neill for their population being decimated, despite the fact that evacuating the others most likely saved their lives.Also, the time span of the episode is a little more than three months. Title Drop: Laira mentions that she mourned her husband's death for a hundred days.Time Skip: The episode's time frame skips ahead from a few days after O'Neill is first stranded on Edora to three months later, when he has gone fully native.It's a ruse, and as far as we know he never does see her again. Although in Shades of Grey, O'Neill, after temporarily retiring from the military, asks General Hammond for one last favor, to retire to Edora in order to be with Laira. He does promise to visit again sometime in the future, but he never does, at least not that we see. Temporary Love Interest: O'Neill forms a relationship with Laira during his time on her planet, which naturally comes to an end by the episode's climax.
