After watching it again on Sky last night, it kind of remined me of those old text adventure games that "some of us" played in the 80's, such as the Inforom or Scott Adams games.

As it started I kind of thought Hmm.

You awaken in a room, a shaft of light shines from the ceiling where you fell through.

Q - Look around

A - You see a square room, a hole is above you, a red door is to the north and a another door (electric) is to the south, you see some wooden crates. Cater and the sex crazed doctor are also here.

Q - Examine doctor

A - She slaps your face and says you can't do that to me until you buy her a drink

Q - Examine Carter:

She shouts at you to get your hands off and find a way out

Q- Open red door

A- You can't the door is locked (hint - the door wheel is stiff to turn)

Q- search room

A- you see the doctor, Cater some crates and a piece of metal bar.



etc etc etc.

Just remined me of it somehow.

Reminded me of those silly teambuilding excercises office staff get forced
onto occasionally.

Hey, at least it didn't remind you of the classic line:

You are in a maze of twisty passages all alike. It is very dark.
If you continue, you may be eaten by a grue.

Actually, come to think of it, that might have been more interesting.

Yes, you mention that, but wasn't that the script for the Alien rip off
episode with Michael and his giant bugs?

You show your age by remembering what a Grue is!!!!!

I've got a load of Infocom games, perhaps I should send the writers of SGA a
copy? That should give them enough material for Season 5 !

You should work in our office. :-)


I actually didn't hate this episode, despite the fact that it was a
Cave-i-sode. There were so many low budget cavisodes during Enterprise. I
guess the flirting with Jewel and Amanda made it all good fun. They can't
all be shootem ups or advance the plot.

The human imagination has higher resolution than any graphics card.
