- O'Neill and Teal'c get blasted by lightning and now are reliving the same ten hour period over and over again, a problem because usually it's lightning bolts that solve your time travel issues.
“… col. O’Neil what the hell are you doing..?!?!”
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY BACKSWING!?!?
Hammond sounds angrier than he does in the entire rest of the series 😂
This episode is HILARIOUS. And yet manages to be deeply touching too. It's one of the best episodes of SG-1 in my opinion, for giving such a great look at what being trapped like that would result in for the sake of your own sanity.
I love the waffles, fruit loop tale.
This episode really plays to a lot of SG-1’s strengths. It did a good blend of humour, drama and sci-go tropes. A lot of people hold this as the best the show has to offer. It’s certainly up there and an enjoyable watch. Personally I think there have been better, but it is very good
If we're judging on comedy, then it really is one of the best episodes in the whole show.
I wonder if Dr. Frasier really did make them get examined hundreds of times.
Possibly the best episode of the entire show. And the main reason why it's the best was an afterthought
The perfect timing at 7:27, making it look like O'Neil's brain had an intermission.
Toucan Sam: All and all, this was one of the stranger advertisements for my cereal I've seen. Of course I at least got the joke the SG-1 writers wanted to make with my delicious Fruit Loops. Even if the Kellog executives were more concerned about waffle sales at the time.
1:01 The writers missed the opportunity to say a cunning linguist
Also we should add this to the Daniel just got killed list again! One more time and he gets a punch card that says free ice cream ha you were wondering when I was going to make that joke
This was a really fun episode in my opinion. Especially the repeats where O'Neill and Teal'c decided to just mess around for the loop.
Hell, even the loops they are 'taking seriously' they goof off in very funny ways. A very good episode indeed.
"I ask you.. What can be in my eye that could explain all this?"

I was fortunate to attend a Comic Con in Seattle where Richard Dean Anderson was doing a panel. When asked what his favorite episode of the series was, he picked this one. The guy talking to him on stage asked if it was because of all the goofy stuff he got to do. RDA's response had the audience in tears from laughter;
"Yeah, that was fun too. The best part though was I got to make out with Amanda a half dozen times that day."
😄
I am a sucker for a good time loop story in a sci-fi series. This might just be my favourite of all of them
Dark Matter also had a solid loop story
Time travel is very, very hard to get right.
Okay. That fruit loop trivia was surprisingly interesting and hilarious.
As someone who only watched Atlantis, this is my Window into what SG-1 was like. Thank you for providing that Opportunity
If you have the time, it's well worth the watch. First season is a bit...rough to get through and I've heard people say 9 is a low point of the show, but there's a reason it went 10 seasons and survived more than one network change.
I see what you did there!
Seasons 9 and 10 had a big dip in writing quality combined with severe cast changes. They're best thought of as non-canonical sequels or maybe as some kind of side story. Like how Madoka Magica has the story proper and then various non canon alternate timelines and movies.
How... did that even happen? How did you end up watching SGA and missing SG1?
@@cameronmcknight1525 I watched the first episode or so of each, and only Atlantis held my attention.
They had time to fill and they didn't do technobabble?! Science fiction used to have standards, man!
The way Jack and Teal'c have fun with the situation reminds me of Farscape when what is meant to be a serious moment gets derailed by Crichton's antics and its affect on the others
This is the ONE episode I have been waiting for SFDebris to cover lol
Holy crap! My first first!
Oh MY!
Absolutely one of my favourite SG1 episodes. I love timeloop episodes, and SG1 does it so well, the montage of Jack and Teal'c goofing off was great.
Still my favorite episode, and I've seen this series almost as many times as I've seen TNG.
I love that RDA gets to do both comedy and (brief) serious drama. The guy rarely got a chance to really show his stuff in any of the projects he was in.
Only way Teal'c's loop point could have been funnier was if it occurred in the Men's room stall.
Also could've subverted the trope where we never seem to see the inside of a sci-fi show's facilities.
RDA and Christopher Judge had so much fun this episode
In the middle of my backswing!!!
one of my all time fave Jack lines I laughed so hard and so long I missed a chunk of the ep and only in a rerun did I catch it all
My go to rewatch episode
The golf through the star gate is the best part😂😂😂
It should be a sport honestly. Stargolf.
I still love that THIS is the episode with the most references in the Infinite Loops fanfic universe of the entire Stargate series. They appear a few times, but EVERYONE wants to hit a golf ball through that stupid gate.
Mind, my favorite use of this series in the Infinite Loops is Celestia being suspicious of Sam. After all, Celestia is the living emponiment of a star, and Sam blew one of those up.
Stargate was always at its best when it leaned into blending sci-fi and comedy, and this was an excellent example.
I agree, but at the same time I'd argue the best of SG-1 was the early stuff with Anubis. Though it does explain why Universe feels so distinctly not Stargate.
WHACKO!
Ah one of the best (some would say THE best) episode of SG1.
O'Neill and Teal'c do everything they could, so of course they deserved a few loops as a break.
Funny thing is that this video was shown recommended to me right next to Dude Perfect’s longest trick shots video!
I've heard the Froot Loops story several times now, but it's still funny to me every time.
Much loved episode
I remember this was the first SG-1 I ever saw. Made me a fan right away.
I wanna see the reaction of anyone seeing the golf balls on the other end
Something that always bugged me, shouldn't astronomers have noticed that the sky really doesn't look like it should?
The light takes time to get to them. And it's all so _very_ far away, and stars just don't move very fast relative to their distance. You might notice afterwards, if you were looking in exactly the right spot at the right time, as the last of the looped light from an object goes by and is replaced with the first of the post-loop light.
Anything that moves enough to be noticed is within the area covered by the loop, and that gets reset with everything else.
Well they'd only have a window for so long to raise any alarm about it, it's a rather ludicrous proposition that takes time to swallow, and then when someone gets around to seeing how the data really does support the evidence OFFWORLD ACTIVATION
@@bthsr7113 I meant after the events of the episode (though really given how good modern astronomy was even then I'm pretty sure every observatory would have noticed within minutes). The Tok'Ra make clear they tried contacting Earth for months. So if time was moving for the rest of existence, just not for the star systems in the loop network, that should mean that when Earth emerges from the loop the sky should look REALLY different.
I'm not knowledgeable enough about astronomy to know if the constellations would be visibly different to the naked eye, but any halfway decent astronomer should be able to tell the stars look really funny, with potentially world-threatening implications.
Doesn't that take thousands of years though?
@@MrGranten Yeah, I don't have an answer for after aside from a miraculously difficult coverup of being at least 3 months behind the universe.
One of the best episodes of the series.
Indeed
Definitely one of my favorites.
Such a fun episode.
*hears mention of the Ancient repository of knowledge* Hey, you ever hear of someone called Jen L. Rossman? They do livetweets of scifi shows and they're really entertaining. Anyways, they call that device a "wall mounted knowledge anus" and I can't un-hear it ever, so... now you won't be able to, either! Enjoy! 🤣
5:11 so the props department basically had to make a Froot Loops commercial
After posting 3 Legend of Korra eps Chuck follows with one of the best Ds9 eps and one of the best Stargate SG-1 eps. I guess Daniel had a point, there's some kind of cosmic balance between good and evil that is always maintained.
Okay, dial back the hate for Korra.
