It also would have allowed the producers not to truncate the story to fit the 48-minute time frame at one point, a scene transition is introduced with "Three Months Later," cutting out most of what could have been further character exposition. As a season-ending story, it would have at least allowed for the possibility that O'Neill might not have continued with the show, making his romance with Laira seem more plausible. This might have been an interesting storyline to experiment with as either a two-parter - or even an end-of-season cliff-hanger, thus allowing more of the Laira-O'Neill relationship to have been explored. The producers did manage to find an idyllic setting for the story on the edge of a lake surrounded by green fields and mountains, making this a grassier and more sunlit setting than a lot of the thick British Columbia forest seen in many of the other episodes.
#Sg1 a hundred days series
Of course, given that this is series television, it's foregone that he is not likely to take up the simple life as a farmer and woodcutter voluntarily, Ms. Richard Dean Anderson and Michele Greene have a pleasant chemistry, as she encourages him to mourn the loss of his former life with stories of her own gradual acceptance of her widowhood - while also letting him know less than subtly that she would like to do more than comfort him as a friend. And so begins his gradual submersion into the lives and culture of Eudora's people, with his trademark side-shielded sunglasses his only remaining trinket from his home as the story unfolds.

Thus, without the use of a hackneyed plot device like amnesia, "One Hundred Days" realistically postulates that O'Neill could find himself evidently trapped for good on another world with no way to return to or even to communicate with his home world. Carter to devise a way to resurrect the non-functioning gate at Earth's end, or possibly to wait for assistance from an interstellar race that can make the journey in real space to check on O'Neill's status. Not knowing even if O'Neill is still alive, it is left to Maj. Carter and the rest of them have discovered that while the stargate can still be activated at Eudora's end, something is preventing anything that goes through from surviving - suggesting that the gate is buried in such a way that it cannot safely be used. Back at Cheyenne Mountain, however, Teal'c, Maj. One of them apparently destroys Eudora's stargate when O'Neill has strayed away to help a young widow, Laira (the lovely Michele Greene) find her teenage son who has disappeared just as the meteor shower begins in earnest. In another eerie echo of "The Paradise Syndrome," the complication driving the plot is a meteor shower that periodically strikes the planet with potentially lethal consequences. O'Neill and the other members of SG-1 apparently having already become good friends with the simple, pre-industrial people of the planet Eudora. But "One Hundred Days" is a superior updating of this storyline, which begins with Col. Kirk gets trapped on a planet with a tribe similar to American Indians and - with the Enterprise conveniently stuck a long way off and Kirk also conveniently beset by amnesia - falls in love with a member of the tribe.

This episode owes more than a little of its plot to the third season original "Star Trek" episode "The Paradise Syndrome," in which Capt. Samantha clearly demonstrates that has feelings for Jack.

The romance between Jack and Laira shows a great chemistry and the conclusion is sad, as most stories of impossible or unattained love. What will happen to Teal'c and Jack? "A Hundred Days" is a romantic and heartbreaking episode of "Stargate SG-1". After many days, Teal'c risks his life expecting to find a way out of the cave to the surface of the planet to look for Jack. Meanwhile Jack is stranded in the planet and falls in love and has a love affair with the widow Laira. Sam discovers that Naquadah has melted down burying the Stargate that can still be activated. They find him in a cave seeking shelter with a friend and when the group is ready to go, the Stargate is hit by a meteor. Laira notes that her son is missing and Jack decides to help her to seek her son out. O'Neill offers to evacuate the inhabitants through the Stargate however, one of them convinces a group of locals to stay in Eudora.

When a big meteor hits the ground in a near miss, Daniel and Sam verify and realize that meteors will probably crash on the planet. Daniel and Sam foresee a danger since the planet orbit is close to the meteor shower. She brings the team to see the Fire Rain, a meteor shower that occasionally happens. The SG-1 is negotiating Naquadah mining operation in Eudora with their leader Laira.
