    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Carter asks Teal'c if he has ever played Doom (1993). He replies, "I play Def Jam Vendetta (2003)," for which Christopher Judge (Teal'c) supplies the voice of the main villain of the game, D-Mob.
    • Goofs
      When Teal'c goes into the armory for the first time, the label on the door has it spelled "Armoury". The USAF would spell words, on their doors, in their bases, using American English not Canadian English.
    • Quotes
      • Dr. Bill Lee: We've been working on this chair for two years to make it a viable virtual reality training tool for SGC personnel.
      • Teal'c: You have failed.
      • Jack O'Neill: He's nothing if not honest.
      • Dr. Bill Lee: Well, I mean - I mean, maybe we could, er, it could use a little more work but...
      • Jack O'Neill: Can you make it harder... more difficult?
      • Dr. Bill Lee: Well, I mean, we can input, uh, the parameters for different scenarios, but the vast majority of the simulation array comes from the mind of the user. It- The programming is actually built by interfacing memories from the individual's consciousness with the chair's matrix.
      • Jack O'Neill: Carter, all I heard was "Matrix", and I found those films *quite* confusing.
