Season 5, Episode 19
9/10
Good episode, but on a BAD, FAULTY PREMISE
7 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
After everything that SG1 and the SGC in general have been through to this point, you'd think they would have learned an important lesson: DON'T BRING ALIEN THINGS/TECHNOLOGY BACK TO EARTH. First mistake was Gen. Hammond giving the OK to bring the young woman back to the SGC, even though there were already way too many questions about her, more than enough to arouse suspicion and doubt. Second mistake was not removing her the minute they found out she was a machine. Even before supplying a fresh power source, they should have gotten rid of her.

THe SGC should have an off-base--or even better, off-world-- research lab for exactly this sort of situation. Even the Alpha Site would do. At least that way, if Reese-- or whatever the threat is-- should become uncontrollable, Earth and the SGC would still be secure.

I really find it hard to believe that O'Neill, Hammond, the SGC, etc., haven't learned this lesson by now and keep making this same mistake over and over. It may make for dramatic TV (which of course we all love), but it is NOT in the least bit logical.
