I can see why. I remember old discussions on reddit, there was common understanding that the episode doesn’t exist.

episode 3 was difficult for me to get into and I quit Stargate for a few years at this point.

That’s the Mongolian one, isn’t it? :D

I love the show to bits but this episode is one I hated instantly and never rewatched (just once when I introduced the show to my wife and I did full disclosure on it).

Luckily my first exposurr to Stargate was on TV, watching episodes as I could (often starting.mid season and never had a full chronological contextnof how the episodes went) and I never had the “luck” to catch this one. Gave me quite a whiplash when I finally got to watch it all chronologically.

Better late than never. I hope you continue to enjoy it and would love to hear you reporting back with your experience.

It’s good to hear it holds up even for people watching it now completely fresh.

Also fun fact is that the guy that plays Lucius in SGA also plays in the original movie (not the same character obviously)

Yes, it is the same person canonically but the characters are completely different. I like the little joke with O’Neil being another guy with no sense of humor - but that is ultimately just a cheeky way the show makes fun of itself, as it often does.

Well it got one thing right, but missed important context. Aushwitz was primarily a labor camp and crematoria like they had there couldn’t handle it. Aushwitz had the extermination just like a side hustle, so they didn’t need it too big.

Now the likes of Birkenau, not far from Aushwitz - that was a death camp. And with much more massive crematoria to handle the death toll. And that crematoria was destroyed by Nazis when it was clear the Allies will reach them because it was clear evidence of genocide.

Aushwitz is an important site and while chilling and terrible, it doesn’t compare to what was happening elsewhere.
