good teal'c episode

[davidmalaimo · 9/10 · 28 May 2021]

So this episode rules. Lotta great 90s cgi cheese. Cool vibe. But i write this only to say: even though this episode is mostly about Daniel, there's a lot of really good tiny Teal'c moments. Like, his timing and the editing just make his small moments really funny and nice. There's always the good ol squints-tilts-head-frown thing that he does that for some reason is extra perfect in this episode. Also, anytime you get to see him in the real world wearing his cowboy hat is always funny. We also see him trying to take charge and improvise in the same scene which killed me. Maybe i just noticed it more in this episode, but either way. Fun time.

Booooooooooooooook!!!

Tight, adventurous...with a grand feeling that should have been more common in SG1 so far. The team finds a pyramid on another planet that dwarfs any ever encountered. A crystal skull transports Jackson out of our reality, though he can still see and hear us. He returns with the team to Earth, where they enlist the aid of the only other scientist to ever find a crystal skull (and write of being teleported)...Daniel's grandfather (Jan Rubes, WITNESS), a discredited scientist who's been in an asylum for decades. He can see Daniel, but doesn't tell the others, out of fear of being called crazy. Jan's presence is pure wonderfulness, and not just because of our warm, fuzzy memories of Eli Lapp. You be careful out there among them English.

The Crystal Skull

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 3 May 2016]

The SG1 finds a huge pyramid with high level of radiation in a planet but the MALP is too big to get close to a crystal skull on a pedestal. Daniel explains to the team that his grandfather Nicholas "Nick" Ballard had found a unique crystal skull in Belize and claimed that it possessed the power of teleporting to see aliens the one that looked at its eyes. However he was discredited by the academic community since he was not able to repeat the experiment. The SG-1 decides to go to the pyramid to investigate the skull despite the level of the increasing radiation. They are affected by the radiation and when Daniel looks at the eyes of the skull, he is involved by a field of energy and Teal'c shoots the skull. Daniel vanishes and the SG-1 has to return to the SGC due to the radiation. However he is actually invisible for them near the skull. While they are recovering from the effects of the radiation at the SGC, Teal'c decides to return to the pyramid to get the skull and bring it to the SGC. Daniel comes with him but stays invisible for everybody. Sam suggests that Dr. Nicholas Ballard should be consulted but Dr. Fraiser informs that he is interned in a psychiatric facility in Oregon. But Sam, Jack and Teal'c decide to visit Nick and bring him to the SGC as the last chance to bring Daniel back. Will they succeed?

"Crystal Skull" is a highly entertaining adventure of SG-1. Nick is a nice character and it would be great to see him again in the future episodes. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Crystal Skull"

The Crystal Skull

[peterwilliams-14753 · 8/10 · 4 July 2017]

Dr. Daniel Jackson stares down at a Crystal skull; however, he mysteriously disappears. Jackson tries his best to communicate with the rest of the team even though he can't be seen. The others (SG-1) get his grandfather, Nicholas Ballard, to help, since he claimed to have experienced the same thing three decades earlier. Unfortunately, Nicholas Ballard happens to be in a psychiatric institution.

This is a good episode with great interaction between Daniel Jackson and his Grandfather I score this a 8 out of 10

to bad

[jesperprahlsimonsen · 7/10 · 21 February 2022]

This should have been taken up again later in the show, but again they started an idea but never went anywhere with it,we never meet his grandfather or the giants again, such a waisted opportunity,sadly it happend many time doing the show.

Filler

[Calicodreamin · 6/10 · 14 February 2022]

Filler episode, didn't develop characters or have an exceptionally interesting plot. The new character was a quick introduction and then out again in typical SG fashion.
