[x] Remove Ad
SG-1 visits a planet that has two different sides; the light and the dark. In the light side they meet a very civilized civilization, and in the dark side they find what seems to be primitive and violent people.
Soon after their return from that planet, some members of SG-1 begin to change their behavior and act as if they are primitive. Soon those symptoms spread through the SGC.

Episode Quotes |

Jack: (talking about Sam) Uh, tried to seduce me.
Daniel: Oh, you poor man.
| Daniel: (referring to night vision goggles) These don't look like my prescription.
| Makepeace: You can count on us to watch your backside.
Daniel: Actually, I was more worried about my frontside.
| Jack: Lucy! I'm home!
Teal'c: I cannot be certain you are back to being your old self. You referred to me as Lucy.
| Daniel: (about the people on the Dark Side) We came in contact with them. Isn't that special.
Dr. Fraiser: So, the question is, why haven't you and Mr. Teal'c come down with the symptoms?
Daniel: Ah, Mr. Teal'c...Teal'c's symbiote probably protects him.
Teal'c: That would be likely.
Dr. Fraiser: What about you, Dr. Jackson?
Daniel: That beats me. You're the doctor, Doctor. Ah, maybe I have a natural immunity.
Teal'c: Perhaps you will develop symptoms later.
Daniel: Thank you for the moral support.

| At one point, Teal'c refers to Daniel as simply "Daniel" rather than "Daniel Jackson."
