There But For the Grace of God

As a general rule, I don’t like alternate reality episodes. This is one of the exceptions. 

Daniel started the show by futzing around with an alien device. In the process, he unknowingly transported himself to a reality in which Earth was being destroyed by a Goa’uld attack fleet. Everything was slightly different, and he was never part of the stargate program. 

Of course, the audience would never believe they were watching an alternate reality unless some of the characters had different haircuts. Sam looked pretty good with long hair, but I’m still a fan of her helmet head. The dead thing on Teal’c was not as flattering. 

Fans of a Sam and Jack relationship got a special treat, because those two were engaged in this reality. If you listen closely, there was even a mumbled, “I love you.” Aww… 

The team in the alternate reality was killed off, but their last act was to help Daniel escape. He transported back to his old dimension with a gate address that just might save Earth. 

My Rating: 7/10
