Stargate SG-1 2x07 - "Ex deus Machina"

"Not exactly." - What the fuck?!

Carter and O'Neill are not together. At least not in my version of SG-1. What? They're trying to say something different on the show? Lalalala, can't hear anything...

:::stomps off:::

Carter's comment surely was just an attempt to derail the attentions of Barrett. And, pray tell, since when are they on such good terms with the remains of the NID anyway?!

Mood: nauseated

Ex Deus Machina?

Um. Is that really the title? Because that would be seriously wonky Latin... *boggles*

Well, as someone who successfully avoided learning Latin in school, I really wouldn't know what's wonky about it, but yes, according to epguides.com and tv.com, "Ex Deus Machina" is indeed the episode title.

I guess it's supposed to be a spiel of "Deus Ex Machina" (of which I do know the meaning), but what TPTB intended it to mean in the context of this episode - beats me.

Hmmm... the word order loks like they tried to be clever and make it 'a machine coming from a god' rather than vice versa as usual, except it should have been 'ex deo machina' instead... Ex Machina Deus would work. Ex Deus Machina doesn't... ah, I'm thinking. Shouldn't do that when it comes to sci-fi.

Hasn't George Lucas taught me anything? Sheesh. :)

:::resolves to ask Tem whenever she needs a cool Latin quote:::

There was no machine at all. Just Dolly-sheep-like clones of Ba'al. Who evidently cloned hosts and Goa'uld. Two for the price of one. Meep.

Well, it's Stargate. Episode titles aside, I should have learned to not expect anything.
