Episode discussed: Message in a Bottle
We come back with this extremely cheap episode, where the SGC is stuck with a hell of a predicament when they find a cool alien ball which, instead of allowing Samus to turn into a ball herself, turns out to just sprout spikes and generally become a nuisance. And by nuisance I mean “stabs O’Neill straight through his entire shoulder, pins him to the wall and infects him with an alien supervirus”.
None of this stops Daniel from engaging in some hot office gossip concerning a young lieutenant who has a certain captain on his mind, and an unfortunate allergy to antibiotics. All this turns into an excuse to turn a bucket of UV paint and the regular sets and cast into 43 minutes of TV. In the grand old tradition of cheap TV sci-fi, they just talk about the problem until they stumble on the solution, which is obviously, Some Star Trek Shit. Plus, Teal’c tells a joke! We love Teal’c.
