Talk:Emancipation (Stargate SG-1)

[edit] Sam and Jack married

Did they ever say in the episode that buying a woman is the same as marrying her? I mean I get that Jack might own her according to their laws (Or might not, it's been a while since I saw the episode), but owning isn't exactly marriage. JBK405 04:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Close enough for ribald comments! :-D --Grey Knight 17:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Eh, I think it isn't really close enough. They never state that owning somebody is the same as marriage, if that were true then fathers would be automatically married to their daughters, brothers to their sisters, etc. It's to much of an assumption. JBK405 01:41, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

"* Because Col. O'Neill procures the release of Capt. Carter by trading his Beretta side-arm for her, many fans of the apparent romance of Jack and Samantha indulge in the notion that for all intents and purposes of the Shavadai culture this makes them husband and wife - a fact Daniel wisely forgoes mentioning to the two of them, probably in the interest of self-preservation."

[edit] Mongol Society

Should not we discuss Mongols are the people whose women has very good status in society in real world? Have not I watched carefully? I am at 1st season.Ayasi 22:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

The Mongols of the episode treated their women horrendously, true, and if that was presented as descending from our own Mongols then I feel it should be mentioned within the article as an error, but they specifically mention within the episode that the laws controlling women were created in response to the Goa'uld, hiding women from the ruling "demons." It's not said to represent true Mongol society, rather the way their society changed once they were brought off-world and ruled by the Goa'uld. As such, I don't think it's really worth puting into the article beyond being mentioned in relevent points in the plot summary. JBK405 22:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
