I remembered that this episode was stupid, but I hadn't realized how bad it was. I think I was too busy laughing at the sex pollen and the bad wig. Also, even though Stargate still feels like "about five years ago" to me, it was actually a long damn time ago and I was much dumber then. So much dumber.

I remember a high school history teach (no idea why this subject came up in history class) telling the class that it's impossible for a woman to rape a man. She said she asked her husband and he told her that men can only have sex when they want to. Add in all the stereotypes about men always wanting to have sex (and all the jokes about impotence) and not having any men in my life to explain otherwise, by the time I graduated high school, I was firmly brainwashed in the idea that desire=arousal and sex is something everyone wants (unless you're a good girl who is saving yourself but that might also make you a prude or maybe gay… even at the time the messages were contradictory). If a man has an erection, he is consciously seeking sex. If a man doesn't have an erection, he's not interested (because there's something wrong with you) or there's something wrong with him.

I'm trying to focus on the positive that I'm not as stupid now as I was then, but it's still upsetting to realize that I had bought into the men-can-never-be-raped narrative.

So, I'm ashamed to say it, but I was one of those clueless viewers who didn't get that that was a rape scene at all the first time. (I think I took Daniel's shell-shocked look for guilt or something?)

It's horrifying to realize how many things I watched when I was younger (even things I watched as a little kid!) that are now super-rapey when I rewatch them with a modern perspective. (Pepé Le Pew is literally about how funny harassment is and we watched that as kids and laughed.) There was this TV movie that I loved as a kid called The Girl, The Gold Watch, and Everything. The ability to stop time is still my favorite superpower, but, oy, that movie had so many awful scenes played off as jokes.

I will second your head-canon that Hathor walked to Colorado. :-)

RDA's acting continues to impress me on the re-watch. Even without the cheesy magic-breath special effect, you could see in his eyes when he was under its effect and when it started to wear off.
