Into the Fire

Noooooooooooooo… My Beloved, Sweet Hathor, you will be missed.

Wow, there was a lot of action in this episode. There were a number of exciting shootouts between Hathor’s guards and a group of SG teams. Hathor palm blasted a Tok’ra spy who saved Jack after a Goa’uld borrowed into the back of his neck. General Hammond even got involved by leading Teal’c, Bra’tac, and a group of rebel Jaffa on a rescue mission. Yeehaa, indeed.

It’s a shame they had to kill poor Hathor. Jack dumped her into a cryogenic tank just before she could torture Sam to death. Oh, but what about the hug between Sam and Jack? Kind of cute.

I thought it was funny how Jack was running around in that white suit pretending to be a Goa’uld. “You heard me, Kree!” He oddly reminded me of Wayne Coyne from the Flaming Lips in that outfit.

I was not very fond of Daniel’s haircut. Clearly, work needed to be done in that department. It’s probably a good thing that he ended the shag look, but that particular haircut was not the answer.

This episode would have gotten a perfect score if Hathor survived. Sigh.

My Rating: 9/10

Out of Mind

This was the Season Two Finale. I was a little disappointed the first half of the show was mostly clips from earlier episodes, but the ending made up for it. Having Hathor show up made for a great cliffhanger. Plus she’s really cute, even with the new wig. 

I had no idea what was going on at first and really enjoyed the suspense that slowly built up as the team started to unravel Hathor’s scheme. She seemed much smarter and more calculating than any of the other Goa’uld we’ve met so far. If it weren’t for Jack’s natural paranoia, her plan probably would have worked. 

The dreaded “To Be Continued” popped up just after Hathor threatened to put a snake in someone’s head. So it’s on to Season Three to see how the team will get of this jam.

One last note: I’m pretty sure Jack was trying to sneak a peek on Carter. I can’t say I blame him. 

My Rating: 8/10

Hathor

She’s seductive. She has purple breath. She wears a cheap wig and a gold bra. She spent a few thousand years locked in a sarcophagus. She’s Hathor. And I love her. 

Hathor is a Goa’uld queen, which means she can spawn her own shrimp cocktail. She nearly took over the SGC in this episode by manipulating all the males. Luckily, Sam, Dr. Fraiser, and the rest of the “women behind bars” cast kicked her out before everyone was walking around with snakes in their guts. 

I hate to say it, but I think the girls were jealous.
