Legacy

The thing that always bothered me about this episode was how quick the doctors were to throw Daniel into a padded room. He was perfectly normal one day. Then he went crazy a couple of days later. I’d imagine that level of schizophrenia doesn’t happen overnight. Why wouldn’t they think it was the result of some alien doohickey? 

Daniel was a pretty convincing crazy person. It was kind of creepy to see him like that. Sam’s reaction when the team visited Daniel almost brought a tear to my eye. Someone better give that woman a hug. 

Here’s another silly question: Why did Ma’chello make those little bug things if he knew they would make normal people crazy? That’s a pretty serious side effect he probably would have considered.

Bonus point for Dr. Fraiser’s freak out. 

My Rating: 5/10

Eh, this episode didn’t do much for me. The plot was fairly bland and predictable, and nothing really happened in the end. 

Ma’chello, an old guy who used to fight the Goa’uld, tricked Daniel into swapping bodies. While Daniel was dying, Ma’chello went out to see the town. He made friends with a homeless dude, ate a bunch of junk food, and hit on a waitress. I bet Daniel is going to love that credit card bill. 

Teal’c and Jack also switched bodies along the way. The jokes between those two, especially the ones about shaving Jack’s head, were the only worthwhile parts of the show. How awkward would it have been for those two to go to the bathroom? 

My Rating: 3/10
