Review of Orpheus

Stargate SG-1: Orpheus (2003)
Season 7, Episode 4
5/10
Big plot hole to make a 5 minute mission into an episode
6 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Through Daniel's slowly recovering memory, we learn Bratac and Rayak are amongst a group of Rebel Jaffa being worked to death at a shipyard.

Daniel pieces together the gate address, and the team discovers the code to lower a barrier on the destination gate.

Major rescue mission, many Jaffa eager to fight for freedom, let's send a large force. Multiple Special ops snipers (staffs have limited range, yes?), troops lined up in the hallways to rush through the gate, right?

Nope, we send maybe 4 SG teams. A lot of covert sneaking ensues, Jack passes up several opportunities to snipe the camp commander, Teal'c gets captured and tortured...

In the end, Sam and Daniel (magically teleport? Beats heck out me how they got on the ship that's being constructed) and C4 the antigravity. The ship crashes, half the guards rush over to it so they get crushed maybe? Maybe they thought they would catch a falling mothership? Who knows, the slaves basically free themselves and we go home.
