I've newly watched this ep again, and it's reminded me how odd it seems. Specifically Jack's comment, 'Over my rotting corpse'. That seems so out of character, so out of left field, to me it makes me pull up short every time I watch the ep.

So, SG peeps. What's your take on this? I can come up with a couple of reasons why this line might exist at a stretch, but no matter how hard I try to justify it, I always come down to one thing: lazy writing to set up the conflict later in the ep.

Open to any and all interpretations :-)

In "Operation East Fly" in 1982, O'Neill's team was supposed to be picking up a Russian double agent, weren't they? And it was a trap, and all or most of his team was killed. That might do it.

D'oh -- East Fly, of course! Definite grist for the data mill.
