Line in the Sand

On a binge...and this was the 2nd episode i watched twice so that i can see a few key scenes again.

Something about seeing citizens lose there tempor tickles me, Especially the Ori.

Enjoyed Aisha's performance, her scenes were powerful. Her words came from a real place.

SG1 take their new toy out for a sip in and as expected it doesn't go well. The storyline was expected and though it tries to emotionally connect to the audience, it just didn't work.

It's goid to see Aisha Honda in an early role. Sadly, this series has evolved to mythical dragons, Merlin, Knights of the Round Table and other non such drivel. Basically, all cultures SG1 meets are 1 of 3 types: Mist common arr medieval, then 1950's America, or rarely superior races. This falls in the woeful first category. Too much pablum. 9 and 10 are seasons which should never have been made. In fact, the 8th is bad, too. Thete are a couple of exceptions, but this is the rule. Skip it and go to SGA or SGU.

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I think this was a nicely done episode that really gets to the core of the Carter character. She has always been tough, always been smart and always been resourceful during the previous nine seasons.

But in this episode, she's also shown to be as vulnerable and human as everyone else.

Despite her vulnerability, despite her pain and despite her recognition that she might not survive this situation, she still has the mental acuity to be the problem solver we've loved for almost 10 years.

This is one of the can't miss episodes in the series.

Gen. Landry assigns the SG-1 to go to a village that did not accept the Origin to use an experimental device that Sam is developing to camouflage the villagers from the Prior. However the Ori warriors attack before Sam complete the device and kill several villagers under the command of Tomin. Sam is seriously wounded but she teaches Mitchell how to activate the device and the building where they are vanishes since their power is limited to save everybody. Vala is taken by Tomin to the Ori warship and Tomin assigned to re-educate her. However, she succeeds to make him doubt of the Ori's interpretation of the book of Origin. But the Prior has ordered the destruction of the planet where the SG-1 and the villagers are trapped.

"Line in the Sand" is a good episode of "Stargate SG-1". The equipment developed by Samantha Carter may be a chance not to defeat, but to protect Earth from the Ori. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Line in the Sand"
