Episode Quotes

Jack O'Neill: Well if you're lookin' for help translating it, you're barking up the wrong genius.

Major General George Hammond: [shouting] Colonel O'Neill, what the hell are you doing?
Jack O'Neill: [shouting back] In the middle of my backswing?

Jack O'Neill: You know the worst part about this? Every time we loop Daniel asks me a question, and I wasn't listening the first time.
Teal'c: You're not the only one to suffer some discomfort, O'Neill. [loop resets; cut to Teal'c getting hit by a door]

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While playing golf through an active Stargate, Jack asks Teal'c how far away the planet on the other end is; Teal'c says "several billion miles." Given that one light-year is approximately 6 trillion miles, and the closest star-system is 4.5 light-years from Sol, Teal'c is off by several orders of magnitude. Of course, he's not an astronomer and is probably unaware of the true scale of interstellar distances.

Trivia

The fruit loops on O'Neill's spoon were glued in place to ensure continuity between takes/time loops, which is why he never eats that spoonful of cereal.
The book, "Latin for Novices" that Jack reads when helping to translate the text on the altar is written by Joseph Mallozzi, PhD. Mallozzi is a writer and producer for Stargate SG-1.
