Brilliant time travel episode, which directly references the Star Trek episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday" where Kirk is interrogated by a similar Airforce meathead.

Of course Alex Zahara plays a hippie, add that to the hundred other SG 1 roles he played.

A couple of people thought this was a "filler" episode. Nope. This episode sets up a gimmick that was used at least a couple of other times during the series and especially for the very last SG 1 movie ever made, "Stargate Continuum". SG-1 had very few, if any, actual "filler" episodes. There was always something, some gimmick, some gadget, some thing that major Carter would discover. As I said previously Stargate didn't throw away great gimmicks when they thought them up, they would incorporate them into the show.

This one involved solar flares. Can't talk about it, watch this to find out. It is relatively similar to something that was used in "The Torment of Tantalus"... Plus it is chock full of gags and references to Star Trek and Star Wars.

There is also another interesting thing in this episode, it shows that General Hammond "From Texas" is not just a figurehead who overseas the whole operation, he actually understands the scientific aspects, to a certain point. And it is because of this that the episode was given a good beginning and ending.
