So Machelo built these great Goa'uld killing weapons but never used them, never showed them to anyone else, never taught anyone else how to build or use them or how to read his extensive documentation on them. Very smart.
@@Jason_Wilhelm exactly, from what I remember of the episode he also ran out of time and was captured before being able to deploy his most deadly anti-Goa'uld weapons.
I just want a point this out... this is a rare TV show where someone goes into V-fib and what do they do first? Hit them with the paddles? no - CHEST COMPRESSIONS!!!! I love it. I miss Doc Fraiser, really lame how they killed her for nothing (writers thought SG1 was cancelled at end of S6, so they decided to kill of f a 'major character', and she was the lucky winner.) Then they got renewed for S7 and 8... then 9 and 10. jabaited.
Actually, I think this is one of the rare occasions that they do compressions. Usually, they just shock them. I get the feeling they did compressions here mostly because of how it developed the drama in the scene. Most other times they want to move on with the plot. Where the person is either resuscitated or stays dead.
They did make the classic TV mistake - on the monitor he didn't go into v-fib (heart rhythm would be fluctuating wildly and not doing anything useful), he went into asystole (flatline with no cardiac activity at all) - a shock can take you from v-fib to a sinus rhythm, but it won't do anything from asystole...
They did close down Cheyenne mountain complex the same year the show ended they moved to a new facility close to the base. It's still a functioning military base but not at the capacity it was prior to that. Makes you wonder, question everything.
@@common_c3nts Oh I do believe that it exists and it is there. After I made my original comment I looked up Cheyenne mountain complex space force is now in control of it.
Simple solution. Death row inmate but swap instead of lethal injection. The person would die anyway so the only change is that Machello would keep doing his science stuff.
@@Ragitsu I mean, is it? They were about to be executed anyway. The only difference is that we have one dead person instead of two. If the argument is over the death penalty itself, I won't get into that. I am just speaking within the parameters.
@@Blasted2Oblivion "If the argument is over the death penalty itself, I won't get into that." How to say something without saying something. Anyhow, even if you are on-board with the death penalty, keep in mind that there are unjustly sentenced folks in prison (death row included). It is disturbing how prisoners are treated like commodities.
1:05 That kinda reminds me of Deadpool. When DP and Vanessa keep comparing "childhood traumas". "You still have a planet?" I know DP came decades later, but I keep thinking it.
Yeah know, 2 billion to keep him alive, maybe they had something going there, lol. If this was Warhammer, they would have put his mind into a baby and said good job. But yeah Daniel later helped to save Multiple galaxies. 3 I believe. At least.
All Earth had to do was find a prisoner that was in jail for life or about to be executed. That way his wisdom would live on and he could keep giving for Earth.
@@Ragitsu Eh, the whole program is a secret anyways. As jack pointed out in Season 1, he's done some distasteful things in the service of this country. I doubt this would even qualify as ethically iffy. :p
@@Ragitsu On the contrary, I do view most life as somewhat "sacred". The thing for me is, when do you sacrifice the Million to save the One and when do you sacrifice the One to save the Million. While it might be at times morally and ethically wrong either way, doesn't mean it's not the Right answer.
@@Ragitsu I know. It's a show promoting highest moral standards. But saving a great war hero at virtually no cost (as people sentenced to death will die anyway) is a logical action and good use of resources. I'm saying sometimes I want the show to be smarter and more rational ^^
Man I hate this episode because they did that man so bad they really did when he offered to share all that he knows all of his technology and Sam looked at him and said quote we'll figure it out that was so f****** cold man that's what I wanted to send Sam into the phantom zone for saying that s***

The best part of this...Daniel and Ma'chello (the old man, not him in Daniel's body) were both played by Michael Shanks.
Whaaaat?
@@martinm.1967 Yep...Ma'chello (the old man) is Michael Shanks in heavy makeup. Look at the episode credits.
@@StormsparkPegasus my mind is blown.

Michael Shanks ' range!!! amazing!!!
Absolutely!
Imposter Daniel's really like those checked shirts. The alien imposter in Season 3 'Foothold' wore it too.
Awesome Develyn.
There must be some sort of SGC policy: "If Jackson shows up wearing plaid, immediately zat him and call security"
@@vivecthepoet36 Now I'm picturing his shirt suddenly turning plaid when he gets taken over by Ghost Anubis.
Between Ma'chello and Linea, humans are way more terrifying than the Goa'uld tbh.
Do the Aschen count as "terrifying humans" too?
@@Ragitsu I'd call the Ashen more... Boring.

At least she - well, an alternative universe equivalent, anyhow - made one more appearance later on down the line.

Technically the Goa'uld use hosts because it's part of their natural life cycle and they need a host to survive.
They _could_ be symbiotic rather than parasitic, though.
@@Ragitsu Exactly, like the Tok'ra
@@Ragitsu Impossible because of their genetic memory. Being genocidal, megalomaniacal sociopaths is literally in their DNA.
@@Kosinuss There are Goa'uld who defected to the Tok'ra.
@@Ragitsu Who? Tanith was a spy. So was Kordesh. All Goa'uld want the Tok'ra dead. Unless I'm missing something...
