Him saying those sentences that he didn't fully understand as a child was actually exactly what the role called for, Charlie was just repeating what Mother said and not using his own words. I understood not seeing the Reetou again, the CGI probably cost a lot, but I was disappointed we didn't see Charlie again. We saw the Tok'Ra a lot in following seasons, it would've made sense for the team to meet him at some point and to want to check up on him.
Same. It didn't make sense they never continued with the storyline considering they had a failed mission to kill the human hosts on earth in the only episode. Maybe that will change with the new upcoming series, idk.
in order to comuncate with us it took extreme measures for one................ and if they were not extinct they were at the brink. and didnt want to risk anything they didnt have too.
What that’s mother...? This was easily one of my favourite episodes of the whole show. Brilliant idea, brilliant execution. Beautifully realised alien race in their own way, and all achieved on a 90’s tv budget. It’s just a pity the Re’tu couldn’t have featured visually in later episodes. They’d have made an interesting ally/enemy for all involved. And the ‘Mother’ is still one of my favourite characters in Sci-Fi.
I really enjoyed the episode, but I wouldn't say it was brilliantly executed. It never made sense to me that Mother could tell them exactly where the Rebel Reetou were and even outsiders like the Tok'Ra knew how they operated, but the Reetou government was incapable of stopping them, while making a genetically engineered child of another species was within their capability.
@@limiv5272 Well, you are assuming Mother actually told the truth. For all we know, the "rebels" might have been the real government, and the mother was a terrorist sabotaging official military operation. According to TokRa, Reetou rebels operate in small teams. What they found on the alleged "rebel base" was a fucking army. Also, the rebel team didn't slip in from there, because at the time, gate was already guarded by those phaser thingies. For all we know, the alleged "rebel base" could have been a refugee camp or a military base, possibly unrelated to the rebels. It's entirely possible that mother was hoping humans will shoot first and ask questions later. As for Reetou allegedly being pacifists, policy of pacifism goes tits up very quickly when alien species is genociding your entire species. It's quite possible Mother "missed" latest results of elections to Reetou government. Also, when your species is genocided by the Goauld, sniffing out rebels who attack a third party is of low priority. Low enough to only bother sending a single messenger with a botched clone of an interpreter. Evidence: they clearly didn't bother sending a military escort to guard the gate at SGC.
@@KohuGaly I love the idea that Mother wasn't who she said she was, however I'm not entirely sure it makes sense. If she was a rebel, and the Reetou that attacked the SGC were members of the government, then why was she there to warn us? And what was she rebelling against? Anyway a story about Mother not being who she said she was could've been an awesome episode that could've brought back Charlie. I'm still upset we never saw him again despite having so much contact with the Tok'ra in following seasons. The timing when the attack team got into the SGC also bothered me. I always assumed that they tailgated another team that came home after Charlie came to the SGC but before the Tok'Ra gave them the detector/weapon thing [did it have a name?] I'm not sure I'd send a whole armed team with Mother if I were the Reetou, even if I had the resources. It could be perceived as an act of aggression by Earth, and they clearly already had enough enemies
@@limiv5272 I'm not necessarily saying Mother was lying about who she was. Both the Republic of China and the People's republic of China agree that there's just one China. They just disagree which one is the legitimate government. Reetou might be in similar scenario. detector/weapon thing [did it have a name?] The weapon is called phase disruptor. The detector within it is not explicitly named. As for the military escort. It could just wait in the gate room undetected and shoot the rebels when they come through the gate. They can explain themselves afterwards, or just leave. It's not like SGC has means to detect them, let alone stop them from leaving.
@@KohuGaly I like the two governments idea. Really sad we never saw the storyline continued. Once Charlie came into the SGC, the SGC knew they had a security breach and were probably working on a solution to prevent the Iris from being opened again. I'm not sure the Reetou should've counted on the SGC failing to secure the gate before they completed their mission. And since the SGC doesn't have a DHD dialing out might not be very easy, especially if additional security measures were enacted after Charlie's arrival. Also, imagine if the SGC didn't believe them and/or SGC personnel got killed when the attacking Reetou got onto the base. I still don't think I'd go that way if I were the Reetou rebels, but then again they're aliens so who knows what they might do.
Peter DeLuise (from what I've heard) breaks the mold of being a show business kid aka he's a cool guy instead of a stuck up prick. But then again I've also heard his dad was a cool guy to work with. Always cool to see and hear folks that were kids when a show or episode was being filmed as adults.
I remember thinking some years later that Jeff would have been a really cool Ang from The Last Airbender at the time, had the live action been taken more seriously to stick to source material. The X-Files background too.
In the 90's and 2000's... No candy and no sugar for the kid while on set.... Awesome. Now days we have people producing things like Cuties and Drag kids. How the world has changed ....for the worse. Sad.

Always blown away by the abilities of the child actors sg1 got for the show. They did great jobs and hats off to the casting folks.
Him saying those sentences that he didn't fully understand as a child was actually exactly what the role called for, Charlie was just repeating what Mother said and not using his own words.

Never understood why they didn't have anymore story lines (episodes) about the Reetou.
I agree Mandy, Stargate isn't the only sci-fi show to do this, just seems such a waste of potential story lines.
Same. It didn't make sense they never continued with the storyline considering they had a failed mission to kill the human hosts on earth in the only episode. Maybe that will change with the new upcoming series, idk.

@@redit5332 Presumably, they finally figured out that there's too many humans in too many places for the plan to realistically work.
@@KohuGaly Yes, true, but still disappointing. :(
One of my favorite episodes! And I normally hate child actors. But this was a lovely performance and it was great to hear this story.
The child characters in the series were interesting and well done.
Talented child actor.
another good bit actor, this one younger than most but still interesting! cool interview sir
Loved this episode. ❤️❤️❤️
I remember the Game Shark, got one for the kids, cool stuff for games like Sonic.
Jeff was great in this episode! Nice to see him all grown up and sharing his memories with us.
You do amazing interviews and even get an old stuck up person like me to enjoy this kind of content.
Wow seeing him grown up makes me feel even older
He’s 35. He only looks grown to lol. I’m 37. He makes me feel much younger now
He's unfortunately balding early...
I would like to see him in the new series.
What that’s mother...?

Love the Seaquest DSV refrence in this episode

X files fans are also Star -gate fans :D he was great in both!
I just watched this episode last night 😂
Yes, he was amazing in his scenes during this episode. Very convincing.
I'm also surprised they didn't use ReeTuu more. I mean, they are literally invisible - CGI doesn't get any cheaper than that.
Crab people, Crab people look like Crab, talk like people!
I remember thinking some years later that Jeff would have been a really cool Ang from The Last Airbender at the time, had the live action been taken more seriously to stick to source material.
The X-Files background too.
Jeff in 1999 would yea but by the time the movie was made he would have been about 10 years too old
I remember Gameshark! Here is the test though, anyone remember X-Band?
In the 90's and 2000's...
No candy and no sugar for the kid while on set....
Awesome.
Now days we have people producing things like Cuties and Drag kids.
How the world has changed ....for the worse.
Sad.
This is precisely why I don't want any Stargate right now, it will be some insane woke garbage we could do without.
@@sirellyn...Indeed
Amanda Tapping and Colleen Rennison ... So he has good taste then ...
The Tok'ra did good to him, he DID grow up! ;)
Charlie was very close to Jack.
For one whole episode, never to be heard from again...
@@limiv5272 yeah.
I dont remember the episode
I never knew the Sega Genesis had a gameshark, I knew the N64 had one but not the Sega.
Awe he was cute as a kid but the episode freaked me out a bit... Alien as a mother... Yikes..
Isn't that the X-Files kid?
Yep! Jeff played Gibson Praise on The X-Files.
@@GateWorldDotNet Yup.. Sucks getting old! I still see him as that little kid in both these shows.
No sugar on set 🤔

Don't be mean, I'm sure it bothers him
Don't shave your kids head, they'll be bald in their 30s.
