S3E3 - Legacy

Content warning for some kinda iffy portrayal of mental health in this episode. Yay DSM-4. Extended cut available on the Patreon.

 

Welcome to the episode that gives Frosty extreme paranoia and medical anxiety. Yeah, it's an episode of a 90s television show where a character is deemed to be mentally unwell and given the old padded cell treatment. It's a bit of a weird one. We felt iffy about this episode.

 

Arriving on a new Goa'uld planet, the gang are searching around the tunnels™ where they discover a strange sealed room. Inside are a group of 9 dead Goa'uld, who have all died under mysterious circumstances prior to their own hosts dying presumably of starvation. With no clues of what could have possibly caused this, they grab a weird looking tablet and magic scrolling device in the room. Time to leave the rest of the hazmat crew.

 

Unfortunately for Dr Daniel Jackson, there was some kind of cognitohazard in the room and now he seems to be losing his mind. Seeing and hearing what others do not, he must prove that what he is experiencing is real while we see some great 90s psychiatric care in action. Having known people who have been greatly helped by psychiatric care in the modern day, I promise you it is not like the way this episode portrays. Still makes me feel bad kinda though.
