This is why you should study archaeology. You will spend a lot of time in the library, a lot of time in dig sites, discover the stargate, nuke a spaceship, bang a hot space-egyptian chick, topple one galactic overlord, topple more smaller galactic overlords, bang more space shicks, die, become a being on a higher plane of existence, be reborn, bang another hot space chick who births an OP telekinetic step daughter, die again, become a being on a higher plane of existence, AGAIN, be reborn, AGAIN, get telekinetic powers, defeat a highly advanced space cult... And I swear that even RepliCarter had a thing for him.
@@englishatheart Totally. Spader played a part but Shanks was the part. Then again, that is the way it should be when you play a character for 10 seasons compared to one 2 hour move ;)
Oddly enough, Daniel dying gave his character more depth and an interesting storyline for the later episodes lol. I’m glad his actor wanted to leave the show
@@CarlosHuiskens Well, he wanted to leave the show because I was unsatisfied with his character and felt the authors weren't listening (creative differences). During the season where he was ascended however Shanks felt Daniel got a lot of interesting and positive development as a character and he then decided to accept coming back. It is quite clear the pre-ascension Daniel and post-ascension Daniel characters have some marked differences. In many ways Daniel in season 7 and later is more like O'niell and much less of the original Daniel from the movie. They transformed him from a nerdy dweep to a wise-cracking badass.
This has to be one of if not the best scene in Stargåte ever. What makes it even better is the little detail they made at the end of the next episode, which was the season finale, as at the very end they are leaving the SGC to go home in the elevator and there is this little wind inside and O'neill knows it's Daniel.
"Do you think the Asgard named a ship after you because they thought it was a cool name? They saw our potential in you!" is most definitely 1 of my favorites.
Funny thing is that Michael Shanks leaving Stargate for a while made for a really cool storyline somehow. I don't know if otherwise the whole ascension thing would have played out the same way.
@@Pellkot I never minded bringing back Daniel and returning Jonas, that was a smart idea. My big complaint is the lack of follow-ups to Jonas's character. I know he came back in Season 7 for an episode that was a bit lackluster imo, but they could have done a lot more with him.
@@saberiandream316 yeah he got a lot of good screen time just to do a revisit with a goauld that actually fell in love with him. Only goauld so far that has ever showed care to a human which left even more questions.
@@Pellkot I'd say that if we exclude Tok'ras from the equation, you would be right about Goa'ulds showing care towards humans, but I've noted a couple instances where Goa'ulds actually showed care. Not necessarily towards humans, but in general. Let's note: - Bynarr towards Jolinar: He fell in love with Jolinar, which she used to escape Ne'tu. Sokar tortured him as a punishment to having let her escape. - Apophis towards Amon'het: It is denoted straight from the 2nd movie (so actually 1st and 2nd episode of Season 1) up until Teal'c kills Sha're. And even after, when SG-1 captures a weakened Apophis. While he was in a total delirium, Apophis said something around the lines of '' Amon'het, where are you, my love ? '' - Osiris, which has possessed the body of Sara: I don't know if we can count this one, but Osiris actually helped Daniel escape from an attack from Yu in a hat'ak. '' She '' said to Daniel: '' Go away ! Flee ! '' while '' she '' activated the transport rings for him to escape. In one episode she also asks Carter where Daniel is, and when Carter tells '' her '' that he is dead, '' she '' seems really confused and affected by the news flash. So even if goa'ulds are fundamentally evil and wrong, they sometimes depict some benevolent traits.
@@EternalxFrost i think you replied to the wrong one but i will bite anyway. I hear you with all of that. One of the differences between tokra and goauld is that tokra never uses the sarcopugus to heal. It is hinted that it makes pshycological changes to you. Remember the episode when Daniel becomes addicted to it. Goaulds are parasites but they are sentient beings too.
Daniel was the heart and soul if SG1. Michael Shanks is such a natural actor. He makes you feel his emotions plus he can't die. That is remarkable talent.
Carter was the brains (and the eye candy, lets be real) Teal'c was the muscle and exposition O'Neill was the leader and comedic relief Daniel, as you said, was the heart, soul and i'd even add their moral compass. when they added Jonas, he was just there to prevent Hammond assigning a Russian on the flag team.
I think they wanted him to ascend anyway and were looking for an excuse. Since he died by accident and wouldn't be part of the SG commando anyway, this was a chance to let him evolve.
One of the most touching moments in the entire series. It came about because of creative differences between the show runners and Michael Shanks, who believed his character was being underused in the series, especially since his character had been a major part of the original movie. After a sixth season, where Corin Nemec filled Shanks' spot admirably, Shanks, who'd made sporadic appearances in that sixth season, came back for good in season seven.
Corin Nemec was not a good replacement for Michael/Daniel. I will only watch the episodes during that season that Michael is in. Daniel Jackson is why I watched the show to begin with, he was the heart of it. Admittedly, the show went downhill after RDA left and was never as good with the Farscape cast, but I did continue to watch it because of Daniel.
Jonas Quinn character was indeed good, his observation haki was great (I mean he litteraly noticed every little details in a room ^^) and maybe was a little cheated thx to his abilty to learn rly quickly but he would have been useless otherwise. His season among the crew was nice.
Actually SG1 was had not been picked up for a 6th season yet. And supposedly the 5th season was its last. SyFy picked it up so they had to figure out a way to get Daniel back.
Jonas was good. The problem with his character is the writers just tried to make him. .daniel 2.0 In the episodes where he getst to be his own character he's great
I know that Daniel dying and coming back is just “the norm” now, and people are just used to it, but I’m not sure that I’ll ever be completely desensitized to it, because of this moments right here. It reminds you of how impactful a death can be, even if they aren’t really dead, and even if he’ll just come back. It still happened.
This part makes me cry every time. Daniel Jackson always has a special place in my heart. I love this series so much. Thanks to my Dad for watching it with me growing up. Reading all these comments are making me teary… Somehow I feel close to other fans because we all understand the depth and ingenuity of this show and its characters.
This was the first Stargate episode I saw. I loved the movie for years then I stumbled on this and bawled my eyes out. Then I watched the whole series and loved it.
Even though I knew beforehand that Daniel didn't really die, and eventually returned, this episode was *hard* to watch, and still is. This was a pretty campy show that didn't take itself too seriously, but when things got serious, they were *very* serious.
What’s touching is that Jack so much doesn’t want to let Daniel go but he does because “it’s what he wants”. It’s this or the scene in The Changeling when we find out what’s really going on. “I haven’t left your side Teal’c, and I’m not going to. That’s a promise”. Or when Daniel’s addiction hits its high point and Jack says “If you’re going to shoot me do it”. Daniel breaks down and they embrace. It’s a wonderful episode about addiction.
Arkalius80 - this line is, in actuality, the ending to a traditional Buddhist teaching tale and since the writers didn't include the rest of the story so it makes no sense. The original story goes like this: There was a senior monk telling a teaching tale to a group of novices. The tale he told was this: There was a monk who had a bowl of rice which he wanted to cook for his dinner. So he took up a staff which had a lantern on the end and in the lantern was a lit candle. He walked around "looking for fire" but couldn't find any. The senior monk then remarks, "If he knew the candlelight was fire, then his meal was cooked a long time ago." The story is allegorical. The "fire" is enlightenment and the story basically says that the monk didn't have to searching for enlightenment, because he already had it. What really irked me about TV writers in general, and not just sci fi, is that that they take things out of context, or worse, they take something and just "make shit up". Stargate was pretty good about not doing that, but they still occasionally took something out of context. Hope this clarifies things.
Kalinysta Zvoruna... Cool thanks... But and this is only a very small but, the Buddhist teachings would have come from this ancient.... So the modern version (the whole Buddhist religion) is the wrong thing in the TV show stargate. But they never went as far to take the piss out of God but the viking God's were fair game as the ancient Egyptian. So why not Buddhism. Now whisky and make it a triple barman that's a good chap.......
everyone in that room was afraid for their lives but only daniel had the courage to do what was necessary, so awesome. that talk he has with jack before u enters the gate, that whole scene is prob in my top 10 if not top 5
I remember seeing this on TV when it aired, my Dad and I had no idea that Shanks was planning on leaving SG-1 so Jackson's death was a complete shock. Even now, watching this scene brings back those memories.
I beg to differ - he didn't stop at that. Daniel sprang into action instead of ducking - typical of him, really. Daniel knows if someone doesn't remove the bomb's core, Kelowna's doomed. He was probably thinking of SG-1, and how he could save them, too. He decided that his own life is worth far less than theirs, and was willing to sacrifice himself. And he did all that thinking and weighing in less than a minute.
Spock moment. Also: inspired definitely by actual event of Manhattan Project / "Demon Core". Anyway, all episodes with this planet and naquadria were awesome. Moreover, the way series was managed through multiple episodes seasons.... was awesome.
The person's name was Louis Slotin, and died 9 days after he was irradiated when his screwdriver slipped. He used it during measurements to regulate the distance between the two sub-critical halves of the Plutonium sphere (a.k.a. Demon Core). A loud sound startled him and the screwdriver slipped form between, causing a criticality. He smacked the top half off with his hand, ending the excursion, but not before irradiating his whole body with a lethal dose. His hand blew up like a balloon days before he died and suffered a tremendously painful death. I thought it's worth noting he did not ascend.
Shank only came back because Corin nemec Health was failing that's why I Corin nemec never made it past the next season because recently he was at a convention and the guy look like he was a Jewish concentration camp Survivor at outfits
@@charlesneely No there was a massive fan campaign to get Daniel Jackson back, a lot of fans were PISSED. And Jonas never really caught on as "Daniel-lite".
Make no mistake, I loved the fact that Jackson came back in season 7, but honestly... if ever there was a perfect goodbye to a charatcer, this was it. So emotional and I will not be ashamed to say that it made me shed a couple of tears. As it is, this is my second favorite goodbye moment of all time in any franchise; I only rank "a Spy's Goodbye" from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D higher.
I love how they emphasize the last breathe, a lot of times when people pass you'll hear theirs, or they try and speak a last word. With my career I think i've come too accustomed to death but this scene always broke me as a child and still does now.
Still, 1 of my top-5 series of shows... and for reasons like this episode. (That, & this torch I'm carrying for Valla, but hey, this show hit a lot of different appetites! 🙄)
Yeah limited use did not effect Daniel too much until he did it for a while in that one episode with the crazy princess. Even then when he stayed off of it, he did recover from it's effects. I often wonder why the Goauld would design it that way when they're already evil, but then of course It was probably stolen tech, and maybe their understanding of it, though way better than Humans, was still such that they were unable to perfect it. This often led me to wonder about Ba'al; though he was still evil, he seemed to be way smarter than most of the system lords, and maybe having better tech made him more logical, even if he was still power hungry.
@@michaelheath2866 That was just a flaw in the technology. It was based off of an Ancient device that could keep you alive despite dozens of bullet wounds after mere hours of exposure... but destroyed your mind and made you attack everything. The Sarcophagus is very much a watered-down version so it only makes you evil, but that side effect is ingrained into the technology.
It's really beautiful because Daniel, coming from a more advanced civilization and being a VERY well-educated man, knows *exactly* what "radiation* means and what he is absolutely risking. He knows what he is doing and he does it anyway, as bravely as he can and as *quickly* as he can because he knows that seconds count... not to him, but to everyone else that would die in a criticality experiment failure. Jonas has absolutely no idea - even though he is extraordinarily smart and is a "quick study" ; ) - what is going on because it hasn't happened before - for him and his people, these are novel experiments, whatever the hypothesies are. There's only one person that *knows* what is *probably* going to happen and only one person that *knows* what needs to be done. Gotta separate the "Demon Cores".
I wish Jonas had stuck around as a part of SG1 in season 7. Then when Jack takes over the SGC in season 8 SG1 would have still been a 4 man team. Im also slightly salty that Jonas didn't make an appearance in the Stargate Universe episode where we use his planet to try to dial Destiny.
Losing Daniel clearly hit Sam the hardest. It was like her whole world fell apart. She really had trouble with coping with losing him. When Daniel ascended, she lost part of herself. They are the two sides of the same coin. It's like she buried herself in her work so she wouldn't have to think about it. And when he came back, it was the happiest moment of her life. Sam's love for Daniel ran more deeper than she was admitting. Yes, she was in love with Jack but she was closest with Daniel. Her connection with him was the most emotionally intense than with anyone else. Daniel and Sam are soulmates in every sense of the word. They were like work wife/husband.
L'episodio più triste in assoluto di questa serie, meno male che poi Daniel è tornato, era un pilastro fondamentale di tutti la squadra. Ho apprezzato anche Jonas Quinn, potevano tenerlo comunque nella serie.
If I had a nickel for every time the Stargate series killed off a character in a really meaningful way, only to bring them back shortly after I'd have two (or maybe three), which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened that much.
what amazes me is how careless the people involved were....you would think that scientists would know damn well the dangers when messing around with plutonium core that had only small safety margin before going supercritical...
I'm not sure the extent of the ramifications on Society it would have if people actually did start witnessing people Ascending like that on their death beds. I wonder if this is Stargate's way of explaining where the idea of a Life after Death came from. Heaven, Angels, bright lights.
whos cutting onions? damn now i gotta punch a baby... drink 10 beers.....grow chest hair.... date the prom queen... and win the super bowl all to get my manhood back
Bit more dramatic than fat man and little boy demon core incident .......and after watching chernobyl ....i cried for those fireman ...the name severe radiation syndrome doesnt quite cut the horrific symptoms

In a later episode Daniel is asked "Don't you ever give up?" he replies "only when I'm dead, sometimes not even then!"

It always amazes me how well Michael Shanks took the original James Spader impersonation and, just... ran with it.
and then also made it his own.
James Spader just played Daniel. Michael was Daniel. I liked movie Daniel, but I love series Daniel.
@@englishatheart Totally. Spader played a part but Shanks was the part.
Then again, that is the way it should be when you play a character for 10 seasons compared to one 2 hour move ;)
EnglishatHeart I mean he got to be Daniel for 10 seasons plus his guest appearances in Atlantis and whatever the most recent one is called.
James Spader made the character very fascinating.
would rather want him to follow it into the series.
But Michael did fine as well.
Oddly enough, Daniel dying gave his character more depth and an interesting storyline for the later episodes lol. I’m glad his actor wanted to leave the show
Actually Michael Shanks did not really want to leave the show but did so out of creative differences.
I thought he he evolved into a higher being and didn't die? Or was that my misunderstanding
He comes back later...
I was so pissed when Shanks left the show man, his character really did deserve a lot more. I was super excited when he came back too lol
@@CarlosHuiskens Well, he wanted to leave the show because I was unsatisfied with his character and felt the authors weren't listening (creative differences).

Daniel is OP. If he dies he just ascends and comes back later. I call hax.

Best episode ever don’t make series like this no more no mater what people say about marvel.
I love how they emphasize the last breathe, a lot of times when people pass you'll hear theirs, or they try and speak a last word. With my career I think i've come too accustomed to death but this scene always broke me as a child and still does now.
Sci fi has lost a lot when this show lost its voice.
No
You mean Syfy?I think they lost alot when Sci-fi Channel lost it's two eyes. "Make SYFY ,SCIFI GREAT AGAIN!!"
@@santisomchay1978 it is two eyes? You want "its" there.
2:45 I've never seen Teal'c so sad..... he's making me sad 😥
He liked Daniel Jackson, that was his buddy of course he was sad...
@@sparkymist Key word is "so"
All of their goodbyes were sad this is my favourite and saddest episode. Still get me teared up to watch it.
Me practically crying 😭
It's sad seeing Janet want to help but she knows she can't.
I wish SHE ascended.
She got a raw deal.
Michael Shanks was great as Daniel in the 1st 5 seasons but he was right to leave, when he came back he was brilliant.
Jack missed Daniel see it on his face
Watching through SG1 for like the 5th time. This episode always gets me.. The feels..
Oh no you killed daniel, you bastards...
this makes me sad but smile every time I see it
Daniel and Jack truly were the best of friends.
Daniel Jackson got so used to dying .... He starred in "Saving Hope" where he seems to have ascended
I love that for Daniel, ascending really was going through the gate on another, great adventure.
Why do I cry?
Still, 1 of my top-5 series of shows... and for reasons like this episode. (That, & this torch I'm carrying for Valla, but hey, this show hit a lot of different appetites! 🙄)
I always cry in this episode
I know the Sarcophagus can make you crazy. Yet they should have managed to keep one or two on hand.
Yeah limited use did not effect Daniel too much until he did it for a while in that one episode with the crazy princess. Even then when he stayed off of it, he did recover from it's effects. I often wonder why the Goauld would design it that way when they're already evil, but then of course It was probably stolen tech, and maybe their understanding of it, though way better than Humans, was still such that they were unable to perfect it. This often led me to wonder about Ba'al; though he was still evil, he seemed to be way smarter than most of the system lords, and maybe having better tech made him more logical, even if he was still power hungry.

That was just a flaw in the technology. It was based off of an Ancient device that could keep you alive despite dozens of bullet wounds after mere hours of exposure... but destroyed your mind and made you attack everything. The Sarcophagus is very much a watered-down version so it only makes you evil, but that side effect is ingrained into the technology.
Great show.
It's really beautiful because Daniel, coming from a more advanced civilization and being a VERY well-educated man, knows *exactly* what "radiation* means and what he is absolutely risking. He knows what he is doing and he does it anyway, as bravely as he can and as *quickly* as he can because he knows that seconds count... not to him, but to everyone else that would die in a criticality experiment failure.
Jonas has absolutely no idea - even though he is extraordinarily smart and is a "quick study" ; ) - what is going on because it hasn't happened before - for him and his people, these are novel experiments, whatever the hypothesies are. There's only one person that *knows* what is *probably* going to happen and only one person that *knows* what needs to be done. Gotta separate the "Demon Cores".
This episode just torn my heart out.
Saw this episode again yesterday and I just broke down. It made me think of my dad who passed away in 2015.
always in my heart and deep in my soul Daniel
the sg1 universe is a video game and jackson just keeps respawning
He knows all the cheat codes.
Spock: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.
Daniel Jackson: Indeed, O'Neill.
The most tear-jerking scene of the whole franchise. Literally.
5 months later and I come back teary eyed only to realise I've already written the same comment already xD
Planet....out of...danger?
I appreciate the death of Spock reference 🖖
I love how our reactions were nearly as strong as joe when he cried at his death. 😢❤
4:56 As Daniel ascends Teal'c Salutes. I just noticed that after all these years.
daniel dies, again, and not for the last time..
Here after finishing season 5.
one of the best scenes of the entire SG series... he is not above his own sacrifice
Brilliant thinking and sad to see
One of the most sad episodes of SG1 and other tv show episodes
I wish Jonas had stuck around as a part of SG1 in season 7. Then when Jack takes over the SGC in season 8 SG1 would have still been a 4 man team. Im also slightly salty that Jonas didn't make an appearance in the Stargate Universe episode where we use his planet to try to dial Destiny.
Didn’t Jonas’ planet destroy itself in a war?
@@killbot86 No, we visit Jonas's planet in a season 8 episode as well as in an episode of Stargate Universe
@@jackoniell9468 Oh ok. Wasnt there also an episode where the Ori gave Jonas' country some space weapon which destroyed prometheus?
@@killbot86
Yes and no. That plot for sure happened but it wasn't Jonas's planet. The episode you are thinking of is Season 9 episode 15 called Ethon
@@jackoniell9468 I see, it's been so long I can't even remember.
13 Devine souls wrapped into one extraterrestrial force, and they are the rulers of magic........and the life of this universe 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽
the last great sci fi :'( rip stargate
Welp, guess I have to rewatch this episode then
Devs need to nerf Daniel, too OP and unfair to rest of players.
Daniel sacrificed himself like Spock did which hits me right in the teary emotions
Bawl my eyes out every time, that damn piano tune doesn't help
O'Neil: Where are you going?
Jackson: A year long vacation to Ascension-ville, but i will be back.
when he is asked what see you around and he says I dont know. that isnt Daniel talking thats shanks
I’m not crying you are😭😭😭
Losing Daniel clearly hit Sam the hardest. It was like her whole world fell apart. She really had trouble with coping with losing him. When Daniel ascended, she lost part of herself. They are the two sides of the same coin. It's like she buried herself in her work so she wouldn't have to think about it. And when he came back, it was the happiest moment of her life. Sam's love for Daniel ran more deeper than she was admitting. Yes, she was in love with Jack but she was closest with Daniel. Her connection with him was the most emotionally intense than with anyone else. Daniel and Sam are soulmates in every sense of the word. They were like work wife/husband.
He'll be back.
This scene and doctor fraisers death made me cry >.
L'episodio più triste in assoluto di questa serie, meno male che poi Daniel è tornato, era un pilastro fondamentale di tutti la squadra. Ho apprezzato anche Jonas Quinn, potevano tenerlo comunque nella serie.
Demon Core: look it up on Wikipedia.
Stargate's version of the demon core eh? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core
I have always lived my life knowing that there is life after this one. Your soul will leave the body to return home and plan it's next story.
Ascension of some people is possible! :)
If I had a nickel for every time the Stargate series killed off a character in a really meaningful way, only to bring them back shortly after
I'd have two (or maybe three), which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened that much.
This shit got me right in the feels, almost as much as when Janet died.
The real life story this episode is based on, is the demon core incident, if anyone's interested
Oh God that was a nightmare. I don't even want to think about that story.
@@ReveredDead yeah it's like a nightmare.
what amazes me is how careless the people involved were....you would think that scientists would know damn well the dangers when messing around with plutonium core that had only small safety margin before going supercritical...
the fact it was denial who ascended was fantastic and well deserved in the timeline
PREPARE FOR ASCENSION
I'm not sure the extent of the ramifications on Society it would have if people actually did start witnessing people Ascending like that on their death beds. I wonder if this is Stargate's way of explaining where the idea of a Life after Death came from. Heaven, Angels, bright lights.
I haven't seen this one.
I thought I'd seen them all.
whos cutting onions? damn now i gotta punch a baby... drink 10 beers.....grow chest hair.... date the prom queen... and win the super bowl all to get my manhood back
Bit more dramatic than fat man and little boy demon core incident .......and after watching chernobyl ....i cried for those fireman ...the name severe radiation syndrome doesnt quite cut the horrific symptoms
Whats the song that played called?
how to turn the biggest nerd into a gaw dang superhero
Enough is enough
just do it-nike nike meaning victory
4:08 To Hope
But that leaves the question of where Daniel Jackson went and what he is doing. Remember the female talking to him about assention?
