Template:SG1-8 Gemini is the eleventh episode of the eighth season of Stargate SG-1.

Plot

The SGC receives an unscheduled off world activation, and with it an old IDC that had been used by Lt. Col. Carter. Then comes the message, "SEND M.A.L.P.," and when one is sent through, it reveals a second Carter. She identifies herself as a human-form Replicator, designed by Fifth with all of Carter's memories and thoughts. Her message is urgent: Fifth has discovered a way to overcome the weapon O'Neill designed while he had the Ancient database downloaded into his brain. The replicator version of Carter has rebelled against Fifth and offers her assistance in altering the weapon to work again.

Carter accepts the proposal, and with O'Neill's approval, goes to the Alpha Site to work on the weapon.

However, it is eventually revealed that Fifth had no immunity to the weapon, and in fact he had sent her to study the weapon and develop the very cipher she claimed to be trying to defeat. Eventually, the replicator version of Carter betrays both the SGC and Fifth, taking her new immunity and escaping through the Stargate to continue building up the Replicators' forces.

Notes

Wiki2
Stargate Wiki has 12 images related to Gemini.
  • "Gemini" is Latin for "twins." It is also the name of a constellation depicting the mythical twin brothers Castor and Pollux.
  • In reference to a disruptor satellite that was requested from the Asgard to protect the Alpha Site from a potential Replicator attack O'Neill states, "Be there in thirty minutes, or it's free." This is a cultural reference to pizza delivery places in the U.S. which promise delivery within thirty minutes of the order, or it's free.
  • Daniel Jackson only appears at the beginning of this episode. It's often presumed that this episode takes place at about the same time as the next episode, "Prometheus Unbound," so, therefore, Daniel would be on the Prometheus during the majority of the action in this episode.
  • Broadcast in the USA as the 11th episode of the season, it is the 12th on Region 2 DVDs. The episode marks the return of Replicator Carter, who was last seen briefly at the end of New Order, Part 2, the season opener.
  • Replicator Carter claims to be able to upload data directly into the base's mainframe, and then moves her hand into a computer monitor, presumably to allow her nanites to interface directly with the computer. This does not make sense considering that monitors only display output from a computer and are not capable of inputting data into a computer. Later in the episode she interfaces with a computer by moving her hand into a keyboard, which makes considerably more sense, since keyboards are input devices and so interfacing with it would allow her to interact with the computer.
  • After RepliCarter contacts SGC and General O'Neil orders Harriman to deactivate the gate he presses the Iris deactivation button.
