He didn't want one, but they stuck one in him anyway, cause he was dying. It was a really cool idea which they did nothing at all interesting with.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What was he dying of, that time?

I honestly can't remember. He's been injured so many, many times. I know it was fatal.

Aha! I found it on tvtome. It's the one with the chick frozen in ice. Why does every SFish series have to have a frozen in ice episode?

I don't know, but man, the Stargate Ice!Chick Episode was terrible. I think I blocked the memory out of self-defense.

I can think of an XFiles ice story, which wasn't great, and a Mutant X one that made our SG1 episode look like King Lear.
Ice is bad. I've believed that for a long time, but will anyone listen? Just because "The Thing" pulled it off ...

Because finding some improbably outfitted supermodel wrapped up in saran wrap would have too many Twin Peaks connotations to be enjoyable for the male sci fi viewers?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Oh, God, yes. Spectacularly bad. I mean, really, really bad, to the point that even my brain (which is really pretty tolerant of Stargate silliness) had to say No More. I think it's the lingering biologist in me that ended up pushing me over the edge - thank God I'm not a physicist.
The only good thing about that episode is that it existed in order to give us Abyss. Angsty multiply-murdered Jack! Gotta love that.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Oy. Yeah, that episode was terrible--non-sensical, cliched, and just a ball of wrong. Yeesh.

You're thinking of the S1 episode, Ice? I lurve that episode, for all the ripping off The Thing it did. I liked the paranoia, and let's face it, anytime Mulder and Scully draw guns on each other? I'm so there. Plus, pre-Sports Night Felicity Huffman and pre-24 Xander Berkeley! (Although they were both bloody annoying and I wanted to smash their heads together before I became fond of the actors.)

OMG, Vonnie. That was Felicity Huffman? Huh.
And yes, "Ice" is beloved amongst X-Philes for the neck-checking scene, among others...
I just watched a SN I'd never seen before, the one with the Secret Santas and Dana's brother coming to the studio after the story broke about the drug use. I thought I'd seen them all, it was really nice to see a new one. Mmmmm, Danny.
