The Resignation Letter and the Administrative Assistant

General O´Neill is not happy with his promotion feeling the burden of administrative paperwork and bureaucracy. He receives an assistant assigned by General Hammond to help him. He has problems with two aliens that has come to the SGC to negotiate and Dr. Bill Lee loses control of an alien plant that does not stop growing throughout the base. Meanwhile the SG-1 and the SG-3 head to a planet to seek weapons in a hidden base and the SG-1 vanishes. Out of the blue, Ba´al contacts the SGC and tells that he has imprisoned the SG-1 and wants to exchange them per Camulus. What will O'Neill do?

"Zero Hour" is a funny episode of "Stargate SG-1" that explores O´Neill in his new position. The identity of the mysterious and skilled Mark Gilmour is a great surprise. O´Neill resolves all the problems in an unusual way and the conclusion is satisfactory. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Zero Hour"

Don't go into the basement

This episode gave me major goosebumps vibes with the green lights and plants. Well developed episode storyline showing the hectic life of the general and yet the rewards of a job well done.

Trivia
This episode marks the first time that Sgt Walter Harriman actually has the name Harriman in the name patch on his uniform instead of the name Norman Davis.

Goofs
We hear General O'Neill mentally dictating his resignation letter; he says he regrets not being able to fill Hammond's "sizeable and shiny shoes" and at the very end of the episode when the camera zooms into the letter you can read the line and it says only "sizeable shoes". However, this may also be yet another instance of O'Neill's tendency to make smart-ass remarks, moderated by the need for formal conduct in a letter.
