This is an important episode in terms of Jack's character development. In a way it is the point where the old Jack from the film (the one that's really stern and had no sense of humor) is gone, and the new one that we all know and love really comes out. The difference between those two versions really stands out and the writers knew this so they needed a story to explain the difference in the direction they wanted the character to go.
I remember Richard Dean Anderson mentioning he was not going to be able to maintain the same level that Kurt Russell had in the movie, especially in a series so this was definitely a nod to the movie while allowing more room for Richard Dean Anderson to make the character his own. Love good synergy between actors and writers.
Showing other people one's country (or planet of he's from outer space 😅) is really often eye opening that common people usually are more similar than they expect from stories or news

Emotional episode where you get to know Jack a bit more. Love the next episode. Actually, 3 of the next 4 episodes are among my 1st season favorites.
I love this episode, but it also brings me close to tears every time

First season especially tries to be star trek, but as the seasons progress it becomes more story driven, so hang in there.
Yeah the comedy (especially Teal'c and O'Neil) is what makes the show special imho over other good scifi shows
Especially when it starts to calm up.
Nahid, you will get a Teal'c episode. Just got to be patient.
Did you and Rana breakup?
Tough to watch.
