Stargate trivia: Stargate: SG-1 "Beneath the Surface" (4.10) I liked the premise of this episode and the first couple of versions of the script even more. Whether it was because the episode timed short or simply because I was aware of those early drafts, Beneath the Surface came up short for me. In the end, it seemed to lack the emotional core present in those early versions where the relationship between the amnesiac Jack and Sam was a lot less nebulous. They WERE together and, given the ground work we’d laid in the episodes leading up to this one – the admission of feelings, the time loop kiss – it seemed a logical progression. However, there was some feeling that it was too much too soon and that the arc might prove a disservice to the characters, so the episode’s romantic elements were stripped away. I loved the notion of our two main characters having to abandon their established relationship for a forgotten life in which they are no longer together. Some fans were disappointed while others breathed a sigh of relief.
