Always a good day when you get to see Kinsey screwed over. Even better when it's our little buddy Thor that lays the smackdown.
"The government of China does not believe in keeping secrets from its people."
Excuse me while I go laugh both my head and ass off. :rofl:
It's impressive that Colin Cunningham managed to pronounce "Goa'uld" both correctly and incorrectly in the same sentence. :joy_cat:
As clip shows go, this wasn't too bad. Still, the flashbacks tested my patience. While it is significant in the show's universe, I thought the political posturing between the United States and Russia vs. China, France, and the United Kingdom was ultimately overshadowed by the half-assed game of tug-of-war between Hammond and Kinsey.
I suppose we should be thankful that SG-1 at least attempted to make its clip shows relevant by using them to introduce significant changes in the show's universe. Imagine if they were like the first-season Hallowe'en episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air instead! :smirk_cat:
Not a bad episode, I just dislike clip shows and usually feel like they're wasting my time. Glad other countries finally know about the Stargate now, though, for as long as the US has been representing the whole planet to other worlds.
Well played indeed.
While clips episodes are usually annoying AF, this one was surprisingly good. Plus, it's always fun to hate on Senator Kinsey.
My boy is back (in flashbacks because this is in fact a clip episode with a very thin political plot)
Fuck8ng rehashing of footage mixed up with political nonsense and stupidity. One of the worst episodes so far.

I'm not at all fan of clip show episodes, but if you have to do one then this is the way to do it. The clips are extremely short and numerous (as opposed to being long scenes) and are used to clarify the show's major narrative events up to this point, plus the surrounding story is interesting enough to stand by itself.
In fact, the non-clip parts of this finally address some points that the show has needed to. Namely that the USA have been taking it upon themselves to secretly represent the entire planet up to this point, and that they've been hoarding advances alien technology. The conversations around this that happen here are very enjoyable to watch.
Plus Thor is great.
