Episode Discussion

The alternate Dr. Samantha Carter experiences what comes to be called "temporal entropic cascade failure" as a result of there being two Carters in the same reality. However, in the Season 9 episode "Ripple Effect", there are at least 18 different SG-1 teams in the same reality, and none of them are effected by temporal entropic cascade failure. In that episode, Dr. Bill Lee theorized that this was due to the proximity of all the realities to each other.

Alternate Teal'c and Apophis' goatees were a reference to the Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror" in which Spock's mirror universe counterpart had a goatee. A version of Apophis from an alternate timeline likewise had a goatee in "Moebius, Part 2".
