PRODUCTION "A great series-ender that sets the stage for game-changing events, particularly with regard to Anubis's destruction of an aircraft carrier. I mean, holy smokes! How the heck is the government going to cover something like that up?! Great, great question. Guess we'll find out next season! "Or not. "Making a special appearance in this episode is General John P. Jumper, former Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. I remember running into him in the production office the day before he was to shoot his episode and asking whether he had any plans to explore further acting opportunities in the near future. He chuckled and assured me his Stargate appearance was a one-time-only thing. 'You sure?' I asked. 'Next week, I better not turn on the TV and catch you on Moesha.'"
