Laira goes over to Jack, who’s skipping stones on a body of water. But I really do appreciate how Sam and Janet are good friends especially since this disc’s special feature clarified that the actresses are off-screen friends and worked to ensure their characters didn’t see each other as rivals. Sam claims it’s not, possibly lying since it’s been made clear that a relationship between them would be against regulations. Janet checks on Sam working through the night again before realizing “you miss him” and checks that it’s not a problem. Garran comes over with food, feeling guilty for Jack’s inability to go home. After putting in his hours in the fields, Jack goes to try digging out the Stargate before the day’s end. But before enacting it SGC has to build a particle beam generator. Remembering Sokar’s actions in “Serpent’s Song”, Sam develops a plan to re-access Edora’s Stargate. Laira gifts Jack with a shirt she made for her husband that he died before he could wear it since everybody will be needed to rebuild the village before harvest and winter. Sam, Daniel, and Teal’c encourage Hammond to contact their allies capable of interstellar flight to see if any are willing to help before Jack is declared MIA. Laira joins him, realizing that both the other villagers and Jack are stranded far from home. The whole area has been wrecked by the meteors there is no sign of the Stargate. Paynan reveals the “stone ring” is gone, so a panicked Jack heads over there. Returning to the wrecked village, the four learn some died and the rest (including Paynan) aren’t in good shape either. Walter sends through a MALP which doesn’t send back any data so Hammond can’t justify a rescue mission. The quartet makes it through in the caves. Teal’c and Sam barely make it through the Gate as the last ones through. The teens had gone there in the belief they could do what their ancestors did. But Laira can’t find Garran, so she and Jack head to the caves to find him and Naitha. As meteors start to hit nearby, the team leads the evacuation of two-thirds of the village since the other third suspects the team’s motives. The soil layers in the caves suggest that roughly every hundred-fifty years there is a heavy meteor strike that puts the village at risk.Ī cynical fisherman named Paynan thinks SG-1 just wants the area for themselves when the team tries to explain the danger the village is in. Daniel finds a cooking utensil, which Teal’c comments suggests that in the past survivors hid in the caves until it was safe to leave. Teal’c, Daniel, Laira’s teenage son Garran, and his sort-of girlfriend Naitha go into the nearby caves. In any case, Jack and Laira have a somewhat flirty exchange as they walk just outside the village. Maybe a particularly dangerous meteor shower led them to abandon the surviving humans. Edora’s soil contains naquadah while Earth can supply “medicine, technology, education” to the comparatively few natives left after the Goa’uld brought them to this planet. It’s gradually revealed that before learning about the coming meteor shower SG-1 was trying to establish trade between Edora and Earth. Sam and Daniel make useful plans about researching the fire rain, while a tightly smiling Jack goes, “I’ll make a wish.” Laira tells them that the display gets more spectacular each year, worrying the team given how close one meteor came. Of course, shooting stars don’t make noise and maybe Jack truly does like fireworks. I have read (and it seems very plausible) that a lot of veterans have trouble with fireworks due to them sounding like gunfire. Evidently they’re called that as well in the Jaffa tongue as well possibly that’s a holdover from the original Jaffa being from Earth.Īlthough he claims he’s “a huge fan of fireworks”, I have to wonder if Jack’s telling the truth. Jack gets Sam not to theorize on why it’d be so precise but allows Daniel to explain how Earth culture sees ‘falling stars’. The episode opens with the quartet sitting with a native of the planet Edoras at night, since the “fire rain” starts on this night exactly each year. Last time on Stargate SG-1: Dom DeLuise guest-starred as the AI Urgo and it was amazingly hilarious. After an intense meteor shower, Jack is stranded on the planet Edoras for months.
