Quote(s) of the Week:
Jack: Unless they’ve redecorated the Gateroom, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.

Sam: Is this your first broken bone?
Jack: Uh, no. This would be, uh, nine--if you count skull fractures.

Sam: What’s wrong with your chest?
Jack: I think I cracked a rib.
Sam: Why didn’t you say something?
Jack: I was afraid you’d try to put a splint on it.

Sam: I didn’t know you could cook.
Jack: I can’t. But my melted ice is to die for.

Sam: Um, Colonel?
Jack: It’s my sidearm, I swear.

Daniel (to Teal’c): What happens when you dial your own phone number--Wrong person to ask.

And while not technically from the episode:
Sam: You spent seven years on MacGyver and you can't figure this one out? We got belt buckles, and shoe laces, and a piece of gum--build a nuclear reactor, for cryin' out loud. You used to be MacGyver, Mac-Gadget, Mac-Gimmick, now you're Mr. Mac-Useless. Dear god, I'm stuck on a glacier with MacGyver!


What happens when you dial your own
phone number--Wrong person to ask. --Daniel

Introducing: The Antarctic Gate

Hello, Again: Dr. Warner (mentioned by name though not on screen)

Stargate Mythos: An energy blast on P4A771 causes the Stargate to overload as SG-1 returns home; Siler apparently understands rudimentary Stargate physics and is not just a glorified handyman; there is a second Stargate on Earth; there are frequency dampeners that limit the Stargate’s shaking to only a slight vibration

Techno-Babble: Sam surmises that she and Jack are inside a deep crevice of a glacier, and they are possibly on a planet in the middle of an ice age. Sam has three explanations for why Daniel and Teal’c aren’t with Sam and Jack: 1. Daniel misdialed and he and Teal’c are “here--somewhere.” 2. Daniel didn’t misdial, but for some reason the Stargate malfunctioned during transit. Daniel and Teal’c were sent back to Earth, but Sam and Jack “got sent here.” 3. The Stargate malfunctioned, they got sent to one planet, Daniel and Teal’c to another. Sam starts going into the mathematical probabilities of them being rescued, but stops when Jack forces her to realize that she thinks too much. Sam babbles about the artificial wormhole the ‘Gate creates and that the matter stream was redirected, like a lightning bolt jumping from one point to another in mid-strike. From this Sam determines that she and Jack are on a planet somewhere in between P4A771 and Earth. Sam determines that there’s something wrong with the control interface of the DHD and attempts to fix it. Sam believes that yelling at the DHD will help fix it. Sam finally thinks to reset the ‘Gate, but it still doesn’t work.


Sam turns into a PG-version of my fiancé when
yelling at malfunctioning technology.

Daniel Obsession:
What’s the Daniel of it?: Daniel is tossed out of the ‘Gate and knocked unconscious. Dr. Warner checks Daniel out and “thinks he’ll be all right.” Daniel regains consciousness with Teal’c at his side, explaining everything that’s happened. Daniel spends most of the time trying to figure out where Sam and Jack could possibly be. One assumes he drinks a lot of coffee, hardly sleeps, and is his usual focused and obsessive self. Daniel is most perturbed when Hammond scrubs the rescue mission. Daniel figures out that Sam and Jack may be on a planet between P4A771 and Earth, just like Sam did. Daniel convinces Hammond to send probes to all the planets that fit this bill and then uses a clever system of stickie notes to eliminate the planets. Daniel gets royally pissed when Hammond calls off the search for Jack and Sam--he does manage to contain his anger quite well, though. Daniel notices the mountain shaking and realizes that they ruled out a world they shouldn’t have--Earth. By comparing the time of the seismic event Daniel witnessed to a similar seismic event at the same time, Daniel determines that the second Stargate is in the Antarctic. The seismic phenomenon was caused by Sam and Jack trying to dial home and getting a “busy signal.” Daniel and Teal’c are immediately granted permission by Hammond to rescue Sam and Jack.
