Well, kind of. But the armbands! Man, I just can't take it seriously.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There are components of the show for which I discard seriousness.
Primarily, those involve Daniel or Teal'c's upper body.
I will take any excuse, be grateful, and wish for more.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, kind of. But the armbands! Man, I just can't take it seriously.
Oh yeah. Kind of difficult to summon the oost when your oost-object looks like a reject from an under-budgeted 50's bible epic.
Michael Shanks looks so constipated in those scenes, and I don't blame him. He was probably going all, "I can't believe I'm wearing what I'm wearing. Note to self: kill the costume designer. Man, these armbands itch like hell." or something similar.

Or possibly "five episodes until I die. Five episodes until I die. And then they'll never stick me in a stupid costume again!"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, is that episode coming up soon? I missed it last time around with reruns. I guess I should watch it.

Yeah, Daniel Dies (again!) next Monday.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The question I had last night (and I was skipping back and forth between the ep and baseball, so I might've missed the explanation) was that if Daniel was worried that Osiris would recognize him, but why wasn't he worried that the Chinese Goa'uld would recognize him? They'd met before at least once.

figured Suela had already hit the convulsions of laughter the first time around
God, yes. I mean, my GOD, who can take the Goauld seriously, when they all dress like that! It's a wonder the Jaffa (not exactly fashionistas themselves) don't just point and laugh whenever their gods show up. And yes, poor Michael Shanks. Do we at least get to see Jack react to seeing Daniel dressed like that? Comedy gold.
So was this the sequence that introduced Anubis?
They'd met before at least once.
They handwaved that, DX. Daniel has a poison ring with the drug that "Lt. Tyler" had used to convince SG-1 he was a member of the team. So Daniel poked Yu and Osiris with it, and they thought he was their slave boy Jaron.

I also think Mr. Genius didn't think of spiking Osiris until a little later. But he does mention the idea of Yu¹ recognising him.
¹: This may be my favourite Jack joke. I wish I could remember it completely.

The commentary has a bit about how much Shanks hated the foam ruber arm thingies -- they kept falling off, requiring re-takes out the wazoo -- so it's particularly funny when one of them falls and he just wings it across the room as he's tending to Jacob/Selmac once the cargo ship crashes.
I was regretting that I didn't recap for you last night, Consuela (very sleepy/brain fuzzy), but then I read Katie's recap and I see it was meant to be.
So was this the sequence that introduced Anubis?
Yes, except we don't get to see him yet, I don't think.
