they were infant. surely that should be enough of an explanation.. i mean, it is the writers universe - and i cant recall another time that someone was implanted with an immature symbiote and they weren't able to extert the control a mature one would.
and as i said - forget the memory stuff, they were cloned, and we would have no idea what kind of effect on implantation and control that would have over a host. They would have restrictions on their development, not to mention imperfections in the cloning... I see it as totally plausable.

But logic implies that a mature, naturally-occuring Goa'uld is hence superior to these cloned infants. Heck, people within this thread have called them dumb, imperfect Goa'uld.

How would an imperfectly cloned and under-developed Goa'uld be able to exert total, blinding control over a human (to the point that the human never even realizes what happens to them when the snake takes over) when it has been demonstrated in the past that a mature System Lord (the best of the best, no?) have not been able to completely quash the awareness behind their human hosts?

I dont think it's 'unable' to quash out the humanity, but rather, the better form of torture is to make them be aware - locked in the back of the mind, forever witnessing themselves do terrible things.... I see that as more 'superior' than making humans sleepwalkers with attitude...

I thought it was rather too X filey, I saw an X files ep once when Scully got implanted with some kind of symbiote? (At night )

Though I think it worked fine without Jack.

I personally liked it quite a lot. Sam in leather pants <g> she's so cool... and she's one of only a few who can wear them and look really good. And her white blouse thing was really cool too! I luv episodes where we see them out of uniform... And i like her in command a lot. The slap was really nice <g>. i thought it was funny with jonas eating all the time. lots of funny stuff throughout the whole ep. I have to admit, the part when all of them are in that place at night, and the deputy or whatever said "as you all know, we have three unwanted visitors in our midst" or whatever, it was one of the cheesiest moments in Stargate. how he said it as well as what was said i was moaning and going "noooooooo" I thought that was too x-files-ish and has been done only about 200000000xinfinite times! i didn't like that part... And i also think it was fine without Jack. Go Sam!!!!!

(After Each ep from season six is aired i will Write my thoughts and comments on that ep)

605 - Night Walkers

Wow was that SG-1 i was watching? it felt like the X-files With the alien conspircy and all, But really i think that was one of the best on-world ep's of sg1 i've eva seen the writes managed to get the atmosphere just the wright ballence between good old fasion intrigue and sci-fi.

Plot
Well what can i say about the plot that i havent already said in the intro, a nice x-files crossed with stargate plot based around the symbiote that Adrian Conrad had.

Bit's I didn't like
What was that explanation that sam gave us about why see didn't sence the Gou'alds; "because they have no naquida in the blodd stream" But she didn't give us a explanation why there was no naquida also why were they building that ship to get off earth that dosen't seem very gou'ald like, all the other gou'ald in existence are like "Kree I will take over your would and you will worship me!! kree".

Bit's I liked
When Teal'c got out of the car i thought i was watching the matrix again and that was morphieus(sp?) and sam and jonas also were going for a very matrix stlye clothing

Be sure to check back next week for my thoughts and comments of Ep: 606 abyss

Upon seeing the congregation in the warehouse, my dad said X-files.
Then he made the comment on how Jonas seemed to pick up on everything
And what was that whole thing with the shades/black trench coats etc.

There has already been a huge thread on this ep. in the plots and episodes forum...
but since there's another one, i'll say my opinion again!
I liked it a lot. a little change from "Oh my gosh, the whole planet Earth is gonna be destroyed, and we have no idea how to stop it!!! (It's been done, what, 7, 8 times?)
I like the matrixy stuff, man i luv that movie! :P
Lnt. kaos, i like the bit about the "Kree I will take over your would and you will worship me!! kree" *snort*that's a great explianation.
Jonas is just a bit to quick at seeing things, and learning things, and remembering things etc...

Can i just ask, when Nightwalkers airs in Oz, that they use this thread to discuss it, and not start ANOTHER one...? This one will slide, as the original is long gone.

This should be in Plots and Episodes. Please take note that in the future to post episode reviews/comments in there.

Even though I enjoyed this episode, I don't think it will be one of those eps which I look back on and sigh "Ah, that was a classic SG-1 ep". The plot was good, but it just didn't make an impact on me, and however much I actually like Jonas, he was starting to get on my nerves towards the end.

I agree, this part of the plot was a little shaky, the patchyness of the explanation lead to a slightly unconvincing storyline.

But hey, that's just me... I'm sure after I have watched this ep a few times I'll grow to like it.....maybe...

The old thread is here in case anyone is overly eager to read it... (or merge it...)
