Episode Notes -  |
Beau Bridges doesn't appear in this episode.
Claudia Black is listed as Special Guest Star, although she has no dialogue and only appears briefly.
Allusions:
Mitchell: I don’t know that’s going to help, you keep moving around like Ed Grimley.
Referencing Martin Short, who created the spastic character of Ed Grimley for SCTV Network 90 and its spinoffs.
The Korolev
The name of the Russian ship alludes to Sergey Pavlovich Korolev, the head Soviet rocket engineer and designer during the space race. There is also a lunar crater and a Russian town named after him.
Title
The Arthurian Legend speaks of an English town called Camelot, where King Arthur was said to have lived and was raised by Merlin the Magician. He was raised to reign, to be King, in this land called Camelot.
Quotes:
Daniel: Clearly it can’t be a weapon in the conventional sense. See, the Ascended beings transcend space/time as we know it. This device would have to do the same thing.
Mitchell: In other words, you have no idea what it might be.
Daniel: Yeah, pretty much, that’s it.
Mitchell: So, best case scenario this curse of the black knight is a story Merlin made up to scare the locals. Worse case scenario, he has another holographic knight protecting his goods like back in England. Either way, I don’t see a big problem.
(Teal’c looks skeptical)
Mitchell: What?
Teal’c: Given your narrow victory over the Knight in the Avalon cave, it would seem that your over-confidence is ill-advised.
Mitchell: Did I say anything about me doing the fighting?
Daniel: It’s not meant to be taken literally, but we have seen a lot of legends and folklore have a strong basis in fact - Avalon, Atlantis…
Teal’c: The Easter Bunny.
Daniel: I guess there’s a few exceptions.
Meurik: These men will escort you to the Great Ring and ensure you leave as requested.
Daniel: Look, you’re making a mistake, there is no curse. Now the Black Knight is a security feature created by Merlin through the use of science and advanced technology. There is no magic involved…
(SG-1 beam out)
Daniel: Uh-oh.
Mitchell: What?
Daniel: Nothing happened?
Mitchell: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
(a woman screams outside)
Daniel and Mitchell: Bad!
Mitchell: So all you had to do was shoot the control crystal.
Daniel: Pretty much.
Mitchell: Sounds like one of my plans.
Kvasir: There was enough data for us to surmise what this so-called anti-Ori weapon might be.
Sam: Really? I wasn’t able to make heads or tails out of it.
Kvasir: Really?
Sam: (glaring) Just tell me what you’ve got.
Teal’c: Apologies for my late arrival.
Emerson: Better late than never.
Teal’c: Indeed.
(Daniel drops a book to wake up a sleeping Mitchell)
Daniel: Sorry, didn't mean to wake you.
Mitchell: No...I wasn't sleeping...I was Kel'no'reeming. Teal'c taught me the fundamentals.
Daniel: Did he mention you should have been conscious in the process?
Mitchell: Yeah, I'm still working on the basics.
Mitchell: I hate to break it to you folks, but the only technology I'm seeing is a bunch of dusty old books... ([Mitchell inadvertently opens a hidden door) ...and a secret passage.
Meurik: As the men who conquered Merlin's curse, you will be given a place of honor.
Daniel: Look, once and for all there was no curse. Okay, this...this is a device, a machine. It's like a flower-mill or a catapult, it is just a lot more complicated. There is no magic...
(Daniel and Mitchell get beamed out)
Daniel: Boy, my timing is off today...
Mitchell: I only count four ships.
Daniel: It's probably their first wave
Mitchell: We should see what we can do about discouraging a second one. |
