      When jack goes thru the Star Gate to the Asgard home planet. He walks thru when entering , but he is flung out when he gets there. That makes no sense . So anyone who go to that planet via star gate is flung out .Why then would there be steps? usually when one run and jumps thru the star gate they fly out the other side.
    • Quotes

      Colonel Jack O'Neill: Look, you all seem to be quite wonderful... people. And I don't want to sound ungrateful, because I really, really appreciate your getting all that stuff out of my head. But you folks should understand that we're out there -- now -- and we might not be ready for a lot of this stuff... we're doing the best we can. We are a very curious race.

      Asgard: You have already taken the first steps toward becoming... the Fifth Race.

    The Fifth Race
    Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c travel to a planet and when Jack trips on a circle, he activates a strange device that holds his head and he faints. Back on SGC, the SG-1 has a meeting with General Hammond and Jack has a strange behavior, using different words. Soon they all know that the device has downloaded an alien language into his brain. Meanwhile Sam, Teal'c and two other soldiers travel to a planet expecting to help Jack. However they discover that the planet has two suns and they will burn with the heat and they are unable to dial to return to Earth. But Jack sends a schematic drawing showing how to fix the apparatus and the group returns to the SGC. Dr. Fraiser finds that Jack is using 90% of his brain capacity. What might have happened to Jack?

    "The Fifth Race" is another original episode of Stargate SG-1. Jack's behavior is funny and his encounter with the aliens that have built the Stargate is a great moment of this show. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "The Fifth Race"
