ABOUT:

Sonja was a Eastern-European women body builder. She met Cory and Shawn in the gym when they would go to work out while their girlfriends went out dancing. Cory and Shawn later took Sonja and Cookie to the restaurant Topanga and Angela worked at to make them jealous, but the boys' plan backfired on them when it was revealed to Sonja that they were using her. She was later seen at the dance club, forcing Jack Hunter to dance with her.

Gloria Heck is a guest that stayed at Shawn Hunter and Cory Matthews's makeshift Bed and Breakfest. Gloria and her husband Arnie were visiting from Boca. Arnie did not want to stay at the B & B at first, considering it "foofy", but stayed because Gloria wanted to pick where they stayed for once, and she thought the place had charm. She sang "By The Silvery Moon" by Doris Day with her husband, Cory, Topanga Lawrence, and the Timmers. As a sign of thanks to Cory, Shawn, and Topanga for making them feel welcome, she tidied up the upstairs of George Feeny 's house for them.

lawrence "bitch" o donnell meet us in the pit

literally the funniest bit on the west wing weekly is when lawrence gushes about how he gave the republican all the best points and then later they had a democrat (ron klain!) and a republican who worked for romney on and they both agreed that arnie's points sounded like what a democrat thought a republican would say.

Stargate rewatch: 2x03 - Prisoners

Jack-and-Daniel duel pointer fingers, and SG-1 get thrown into prison for trespassing on sacred ground/aiding a fugitive. The justice system works swiftly in the future on this planet now that they’ve abolished all lawyers.

“It’s like we’re in Botany Bay.” This always annoyed me! Botany Bay was not the original (colonial) name for Sydney Harbour - that was Port Jackson/Sydney Cove. Whilst the First Fleet did first arrive in Botany Bay in 1788 with the intention to found a colony there, it was considered unsuitable for settlement and they relocated slightly north. However use of Botany Bay as shorthand for the colony did persist in Western culture, so it’s understandable that Daniel would make this mistake since it's not his area of expertise. Nevertheless, he’s wrong.

Jack removes Daniel’s glasses as a sign of weakness in a prison environment, while director David Warry-Smith breathes a sigh of relief.

But surely not being able to see is a greater weakness - again we play the game of just how bad is Daniel’s eyesight, really?

This episode is credited to Terry Curtis-Fox, the first of three he would write for the show, although he also gets a senior advisor credit this season.

Bonnie Bartlett is our guest star du jour, playing Linea. She was Ellen Craig on St Elsewhere, but I remember her best as Arnie and Danny Devito’s mother in Twins.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, or rather, powerful women in prison bearing power sources. A great deal of the first few seasons is SG-1 stumbling into situations and making poor decisions.

"I've long believed that the best way to get knowledge is to give it." Linea's philosophy aligns with SG-1's so you can see the appeal - but one of the lessons they'll learn over the years is that those willing to give knowledge so freely are the ones to be wary of, and that they themselves must temper their willingness to hand out guns and tech out like candy. One of the overarching themes of the show is that knowledge should be earned, not given.

Linea creates cold fusion with the power of plants, and Sam is practically giddy with dreams of eliminating pollution.

LOL, Jack checks under the table in case it's a trick. However he does not ask the pertinent question of why she is in prison before offering to take her with them.

Daniel brings this up, to which Sam and Jack argue that the justice system they've experienced isn't exactly balanced - the reasoning is fair enough since they're stuck there without Linea's help. The real stupidity comes later in the episode when they give her free rein of the SGC database.

There's a nice ratcheting tension in this scene as the prisoners slowly surround and close in around SG-1 as they talk. It doesn't come to anything, just a reminder that our heroes are not in a safe place.

Teal'c points out they have no transmitters to open the iris, so Jack tells Daniel to think of alternate gate addresses. Er...what about the Alpha Site? i.e. the very planet Daniel gated to from Apophis's ship not two episodes ago?

We have two new SGC faces - Major Warren from SG-3 wanting to retrieve SG-1 (guess Makepeace was out sick?) played by Colin Lawrence who apparently was also in pilot episode but I have no memory of him. Assuming that guy didn't die I'm going to say it's the same character, who will apparently pop up again in seasons 3 and 5 so I'll have to keep an eye out. The other guy is Major Kovacek of SG-9 who wants to maintain diplomatic relations with the Taldar, but this is his only episode.

Hammond decides this a job for a series regular, and makes his first trip offworld. It is amusing to watch Hammond be direct while Kovacek lawyer-speaks around him.

"There was an experiment with tragic consequences - [thousands] died." Linea is a master of doublespeak - she doesn't actually lie to Sam, just gets her Kenobi on with a certain point of view, admitting she's not innocent knowing that will actually make Sam trust her more.

For a planet with "almost no crime" the Taldar sure are sending a lot of people to prison.

Daniel gets KO'd yet again, this time via strangulation. He's revived by Linea's Power of Plants, which also cure the new arrival Simian's blindness, enabling him to later tell the team that she's the "Destroyer of Worlds".

"Well, you actually won a fight, Danny boy." Bad Irish accent aside, maybe Jack did call him Danny more than I remember. His look of pride, despite knowing Daniel did absolutely nothing to win that fight, is very sweet.

Apparently Daniel gets his best ideas while passing out, recalling the planet SG-3 was scheduled to visit - the very same mission Hammond ordered Warren to go on rather than postpone to try and extract SG-1. I do love it when a plot knits together like this.

Everyone has a nice little reaction to Daniel distributing the gruel - Sam with a grimace, Teal'c refusing to take any, and Jack with a little sarcastic "thank you."

They escape, Simian jumping through behind them. While Sam is showing Linea how to use a computer, Warren brings Simian to Hammond.

Jack has bruises around his neck in this scene from the earlier fight, a nice little bit to continuity. Daniel doesn't seem to though - the result of Plant Power?

Linea uses her knock-out device on Sam and escapes with a message: "Thank you for your kindness. All debts have now been paid." Sinister!

We can assume that Linea didn't actually give Sam enough info about her "activators" since the tech is never mentioned again and the SGC certainly doesn't master cold fusion. But hey, SG-1 made it home, that's certainly a fair exchange for letting a murderous psychopath loose on the galaxy, right?

We will of course see Linea again (in younger form) next season, but she had the potential to be a great recurring villain and for the SG-1 to face the consequences of their recklessness here. It's a real shame that didn't get explored.

ABOUT:

Gloria Heck is a guest that stayed at Shawn Hunter and Cory Matthews's makeshift Bed and Breakfest. Gloria and her husband Arnie were visiting from Boca. Arnie did not want to stay at the B & B at first, considering it "foofy", but stayed because Gloria wanted to pick where they stayed for once, and she thought the place had charm.

As a sign of thanks to Cory, Shawn, and Topanga for making them feel welcome, she tidied up the upstairs of George Feeny 's house for them.

Myron is Cory's guidance counselor at Pennbrook University. He seems helpful at the beginning, but as soon as Cory describes his predicament, he immediately becomes apathetic, even hostile. He suggests that Cory isn't cut out for college, and when Cory returns later with Mr. Feeny, he even suggests that it is because he wasn't educated properly. This provokes Feeny to say that Myron was always his least favorite nephew.
