Quote(s) of the Week:
Daniel: As a matter of fact one of them was asking a lot of questions about you.
Sam: I thought they weren’t interested in us.
Daniel: Oh, I didn’t say us. I said you.

Narim: You are anything but primitive, Samantha. What your mind doesn’t know, your heart fills in.

Daniel: Y’know, the Pentagon, Intelligence—that I can understand. But the President? I voted for him!

Daniel: They called us very young, which I suppose is a hair more polite than calling us primitive.

Introducing: The Tollan; Narim; Omoc; Schrodinger; Col. Mayborne; the NID

Stargate Mythos: the SGC encounters the Tollans; the Tollans have a device that allows them to walk through walls and another device for interplanetary communication; the NID is established as military intelligence; Mayborne is introduced as a real dick; the NID has its first moment of butting in on SGC operations


A small fireworks display, but Daniel is impressed.

Techno-Babble: The devices the Tollans wear emit low levels of radiation, indicating an operative energy source, but there’s no circuitry or moving parts. Sam adds heat sensors to a minature UAV and later reads back the atmospheric readings. Sam explains the geekscientific joke behind Schrodinger’s name. The Tollans have a device that records emotions.

Good Luck, SG-1:

You are anything but primitive, Samantha.
What your mind doesn’t know, your heart fills in. --Narim

Daniel Obsession:
What’s the Daniel of it?: When they arrive on Tollan in the middle of a volcanic eruption, Daniel notices that there are people nearby in need of help (I suspect he has something akin to a spider-sense). Daniel spends most of his time attempting to appease the Tollans and act as a liaison and negotiator. These activities include: trying to reason with Omoc, attempting to get more information from the Tollans, and being the one to deliver the news that the Tollan ‘Gate will be buried in a couple of days. Daniel talked to Narim about Sam and said that she is a brilliant scientist. Sam and Daniel are tasked with getting the multi-purpose room on 5C ready as a refugee housing center. SG-1 meets to discuss the relocation of the Tollans and discover that the refugees escaped. Daniel listens to Tuplo describe the Land of Light with great interest (I suspect he wishes to honeymoon there). SG-1 meets Col. Mayborne--Daniel (like everyone else) is not impressed. Daniel bitches at Mayborne that the Tollans have basic human rights. Daniel uses his civilian status to help the Tollan because he can’t be court-martialed. Daniel, as usual, convinces the aliens to do exactly what he wants. Daniel and Omoc take a midnight stroll (through a wall) to contact the Nox. Daniel questions Omoc’s interplanetary communication device and doesn’t understand the Tollan’s grasp of physics (not that Daniel is really the person to understand physics anyway). Daniel walks in on Sam and Narim sucking face. When Col. Mayborne reprimands Daniel for letting the Tollans through the ‘Gate, Daniel plays dumb. Lya notes that while the Earthings have learned nothing, SG-1 has. Daniel is very pleased with himself for helping the Tollans--it’s really damn cute.


I keep expecting Daniel to just suddenly
wave at them. “Hi! I’m insubordinate!”

Translation Time/Artifact Alley: Daniel surmises that the Tollans are not from a parallel culture and are, in fact, “way ahead of us.” Daniel explains that if it wasn’t for the Dark Ages--800 years during which science was heresy and anathema--we would be colonizing space.

Caffeine Habit: Daniel has a coffee (in a mug!) when he talks to Sam as she works on the UAV. Daniel has another coffee when they send the mini-UAV through to Tollana. Daniel has yet another coffee when they brief with Hammond on what to do with the Tolans.


See Daniel sticking his tongue out?
That’s because he wishes the coffee was jello.
