Season 7, Episode 5 - Revisions
Original Air Date: July 11, 2003

The SG-1 team encounters a planet with a society that has lived for centuries within a computer-controlled environment within a bubble. Outside, the rest of the world is a toxic wasteland.

This episdode was a great episode and that the fact it is a stand alone. anyone new to stargate can pick up on the story on this episode. this could be good for people who have missed all the other season 7 eps. good one to start on i think.

One of the things that I noticed about this ep that kept it from being boring is that the people were contantly moving. Someone was always walking somewhere, though it was mostly Teal'c and Jack. Probably to compensate for their lack of function in this ep.

Also, another little tidbit of useful information is that whatever Teal'c is eating must be better than whatever Jack is eating.

Yes, I liked it too. Nice to see them on a planet without the typical Earth type atmosphere. They should do that more often, IMO. Also, no shots fired in this one that I remember.

Yeah, this was a pretty good episode. It's kinda weird to see something that doesn't have anything to do with the Goa'uld or any of the other aliens. And it was nice to see Sam Carter looking more like Sam Carter because they didn't put tons of make up on her.

And why didn't any of them say to that guy "Hey, you're the ashrak that killed Jolinar!"

I just wish that there was more to the ending. Some of these episodes end too quick. It leaves me with questions.

It seem to be missing that nice sense of humor that develops when our heros interact. The scene where Jack and Teal'c traded food got a chuckle out of me but other than that no wisecracks or jokes at all. The humor factor is one of those things I always look forward to when an episode airs.

A nice change from the battles we see.

i can't wait to see this when it airs in september in england cos no matter how much i try or have a little patience i am unable to download which either means i am having a run of bad luck or im doin' something wrong- i think that's an easy one!!!!
also i have just scene the teaser for "lifeboat"-looks good!!

I also liked this one. It was kinda nice to have a break from the shooting and stuff. I wonder if they got any tech out of the guy who helped them at the end. We could use stuff like that here.

I admit I didnt have high hopes for this ep, a similiar plot has been done before (Outer Limits), and the preview seemed to give away too much, but I liked it a lot since it had them exploring the unknown again. I knew the comp was doing population controll, but the real reason was a surprise to me, which was good.

i thought this episode was really good, at first i was like what the hells ganna happen which is good, i thought the sotryline was great too. Too ramuund im also from England and theres no way im waiting till September, so i d/l every new ep the day after it comes out in america. saturday i get them from IRC. around 600/700mb SVCD quality and watch em on the TV so its as if ive got american Sci-Fi channel , im not sure if ur on a 56k connection but if u got BB. get em from www.ircspy.com. u gotta have mIRC tho.

Looking forward to Life Boat! . Respect to all the British Stargate Fans We Rule

The episode was ok. I hope we will never live in a bubble. I saw something really odd during the last "update." While the whole crowd stood still getting all the info from the Link, there were these two guys in the back of the crowd looking around. Did they get all the info before everyone else or the were just off cue? It doesnt matter...just want to point that out....hehe

If you want the episodes the day they air or the day after, use kazaa lite. do not use kazaa! kazaa lite is the better version with no spyware, etc. and it functions the same(is also smaller). That's what i use. Oh yes, if you have trouble finding an episode, search like this: stargate SG1 705 (7 being the season and 05 being the episode) if that doesnt work, use the episode name. u get the idea.

Well I'm shocked at your knowledge of sci-fi shows. You guys should watch more sci-fi movies b'cause this ep of sg-1 isn't copying any normal tv series. This show I do believe is based upon the sci-fi movie Dark City. It was about a city in space (similar to the dome surrounded by poison) with people living in it. Every day, people have their memories changed by these group of aliens who wish to find a special person. The rest is different from this ep but the main concept is there.

- a city with no way out
- aliens (or computers) change and control the people

Think about it and watch it. I do hope I havent offended any1 here but u guys really should widen your scope on sci-fi shows.
well that's all for my opinion of this show. what do u think now in shead of this new knowledge?

doesnt really nother me at all mad, i thought the ep was great, and i havent seen what your saying so it doesnt matter, even if i did wouldnt change my feelings towards this ep, like in fallen and homecoming the starwars feature, i didnt think there was nothing wrong with it, and infact liked it. to Net,

Kazaa is good for episodes but the only reason i dont use it, is because new eps either takes ages to get there or if there there no resources because there so rare, IRC and Bit Torrent are the best for new eps, no queues or anything straight into downloading .

ya, either way we still enjoy the show no matter how silly it may seem. still i hate the wait.... 1 dam week with nothing good to watch. its fun watchin sg-1 but it bores you to death waiting for it. is this a good thing or bad thing?

It would be kinda fun to be the guy in charge of monitoring the computer system. He could be like god.

Types in "i am your King" and whamo he's the king.......for a little while anyway.

this wasn't my favorite ep of all time, but it did have its good points. i too liked the food swaping scene it amused me and showed how close the team is that they know each other's likes and dislikes. i liked jack's interactions with the little boy. "helllo nevin....." i also liked the fact that this ep had no gun fire and no real violence. yes people died, but not from fighting. it was a nice breath of fresh air after the heavely warlike previous eps this season.
and finally, i liked the fact that the computer was not evil. it was just compensating for loosing power, but it did not act out of concious evil. i liked that. it makes you think about things. that those actions while not too nice (sending people to their deaths) were not taking because the computer was sentient and wanted control, they were taken to protect the comunity. anyway, it just raises interesting questions

Yeah. I got so frustrated when those people wouldn't listen. I'm glad that sam got through though.

I thought this episode was ok, it totally reminds me of Season 2 Episode 4 - The Gamekeeper. But this time the there is really a toxic planet outside the dome. I did like the fact that there was no shots fired. I do know that they shouldn't have a string a non leathal episodes, for if they do it will become boring. i agree with a earlier message that this episode was a good steping stone for new comers.

This episode is a great plot booster for the fact that there is un protected techno faggle stuff to be backward engineered.
perfect time to get tech and save a race of humans.

One more episode where Sam had to tell someone about his dead spouse.

I did not find the episode very believable. If the atmosphere was that bad, it would have killed people long before they got the dome up.

How come the computer was resisting against the idea of having people relocate? Wouldn't it be better for the computer to let people leave on their own than to kill them?

Also I think the "link" technology is far more useful than the forcefield technology. Remember how the replica SG-1 team were able to communicate instantly with eachother? Imagine if Daniel and Sam could really put their heads together.

Anyway...I have been able to d/l every single ep from kazaalite from the pilot to the current without any problem. True it may take a while for a new ep, but you could...yaknow...do something else while it steeps.

First post, Thanx

I wonder if the Goa'uld know of this planet or ignored it due to the atmosphere. Wouldn't they have seen the energy bubble? They should check out the planet for Naquida (sp?). Of course, if they find it, how would they mine it? Maybe via malp or something. I wonder what planet these people were relocated to and what tech they kept with them and shared with earth. Do they stay in the (dare I say) "Borg like" link? I suppose they were just all linked to the same data base, and not each other's thoughts directly, but it would seem to make sense for that to be possible.

It leaves strange thoughts of what is our past other than our memories. Seems strange to have a wife one day, and then no memory of her the next. I wonder if the mind altering tech would have any effect on Goa'uld? It should effect the human host (maybe) but doubtful if it would on the "snake". But if it did, they might be able to 'create' they're own Tok'ra. Who knows. Not that they'll ever use any/much of this episode (especially if this is the last season), but it's fun to think about.

it was a nice breath of fresh air after the heavily warlike previous eps this season.

Breath of fresh air eh. Obviously you never saw the outside of the dome.
