Episode Quotes

Jack O'Neill: So Merrin, I understand you're a reactor expert.
Merrin: Yes.
Jack O'Neill: How old are you?
Merrin: I'm eleven. How old are you?
Jack O'Neill: So... Merrin, I understand you're a reactor expert.

Jack O'Neill: Okay, uh... fun is what you do to make yourself happy, like music, games. It's whatever you do when you're not learning to be a Rocket Scientist.
Merrin: I am here to teach Major Carter about the reactor.
Major Samantha Carter: sounds like fun to me.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Merrin first tells O'Neill, "I need 15 sheets of paper at least 48 centimeters by 23 centimeters." Then a few moments later after Carter awakens, she says, "I need 15 sheets of paper at least 43 centimeters by 28 centimeters."
Goof (continuity error): Major Carter draws a stick figure of herself without any hair. Yet, when the camera pans to the picture seconds later, it has several strands of hair that Major Carter did not draw just moments before.
