Jack turned to Maybourne, who was on death row for his treasonous involvement with the Russians, after General Hammond resigned his position on short notice. The NID had previously pressured Hammond to pursue weapon technologies, and they went so far as to threaten his grandchildren to achieve their goals. As much as it disgusted him, Jack offered to speak to the President on behalf of Maybourne if they could find the people who forced Hammond out.
Back at the SGC, General Bauer immediately started screwing things up. He gave Daniel a desk job, assigned Sam to build a bomb, and put Teal’c on SG-3. I know General Bauer was supposed to be a stereotypical hardass, but he actually reminded me of the Admiral from Hot Shots!. I kept waiting for him to say something like, “My eyes are ceramic. Caught a bazooka round at Little Big Horn. Or was it Okinawa? The one without the Indians.”
Jack and Maybourne’s hunt lead to Senator Kinsey. Everyone’s favorite person to hate had been involved with the NID all along. With the information they obtained from Kinsey’s computer, Hammond was able to return to the SGC and Maybourne was transfer to a more hospitable prison. Maybourne was last seen sipping a tropical drink with his arm around a woman. Presumably, he had escaped.
Fun tidbit: Oscar, Senator Kinsey’s dog, was actually Richard Dean Anderson’s dog. He was a cute doggy.
My Rating: 7/10
