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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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.
Ah. Missed that. Actually I like that. Stargate always remembers its continuity. Sort of like old comic books.

I'm old school. Like Happy Shopper.
As I've been ill off work all week, I have discovered that I can watch Stargate every day on Sky! This means I am now becoming re-obsessive about it, which considering I'd only just got non-obsessive enough to start considering selling all my old season 2/3 DVD's is not good!
I just wanted you know that I blame you all!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Or possibly "five episodes until I die. Five episodes until I die. And then they'll never stick me in a stupid costume again!"
How fortunate for him that they did away with costuming altogether for his return from the Great Beyond.

Moreso for us.

ita, the joke was actually Sam's, I think. Essentially:
Jacob: "Yu will be one of the system lords at the meeting."
Sam: "I thought Daniel was going in as a slave."
Jacob: "The system lord Yu."
Sam (holding up fingers in classic 'tiny little' gesture): "Tiny little joke."
Jack (with classic 'this is sarcasm' face): "Funny."
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.
That wasn't exactly hand-wavy. It was the thing that made the whole mission possible. Or are plot points hand-waving too? I'm never sure about the terminology.
I have always been very sad they canonically barred themselves from ever showing the goa'uld Isis (barring flashbacks or time travel -- ooh...). And I'd like to see some more of Bastet and Kali! That was just like teasing us!
But yeah, the slave uniform? sigh Missed opportunity there.
(Edited over and over because I kept remembering details.)

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
Do we at least get to see Jack react to seeing Daniel dressed like that? Comedy gold.
He has no reaction whatsoever that we see, though he does get to see the outfit at the end of the episode. You know, that really is a shame. There could have been high-quality nonplussed looks.

Aha! Thanks, Emily. It's Jack that makes it for me -- so much so that I forget his setup for the face.

That direction is apparent with "Five Days to Midnight," which stars Timothy Hutton as a man who finds out that he's going to be murdered in five days, but doesn't know by who. "Five Days" will premiere at 9 p.m. June 7.
"It's a true mystery thriller, but lives in the genre of Sci Fi," Hammer said. "It's trying to grow the channel and look forward in a way that is in the genre--but, in a sense, is bigger than the genre."
Stop it! Stop saying things like that! It's a big genre, dammit! For one thing, it makes no sense, and for another, if it's in the genre it cannot be bigger than the genre!
Augh.
