Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt the beginning of the episode Jack O'Neill says, "I've seen this movie, it [the asteroid] hits Paris." This is a reference to the movie Armageddon (1998) starring Bruce Willis.
- GoofsIf the atmosphere had been removed from the inside of the cargo ship, then the observer would not hear the "clicking" of the footsteps of O'Neill and Teal'c. There is no air to carry the sound waves. They should have walked in absolute silence. However, the 'observer' (viewer) is seeing and hearing things from O'Neill's and Teal'c's point of view. The sounds of their footsteps could be conducted through their suits and the air within them. Any real observer present would also be wearing an EVA suit and would hear the sounds in the same way.
- Quotes
Sam Carter: [explaining the contents of the asteroid and how the bomb will affect it] The explosion will be enhanced by the Naquadah, probably to the force of a small nova. This close to Earth, it would be enough to set the atmosphere on fire and boil the oceans.
Jack O'Neill: Okay, this was not in the movie.

Featured review
The Asteroid
When a civilian finds a large asteroid en route to collide on Earth, the SG-1 concludes that life will be destroyed with the impact. The SGC tries unsuccessfully to contact the Tok'ra and the Asgardian seeking for help. Sam suggests to repair the Goa'uld ship that crashed in Ravenna and use a naquadah bomb to change the route of the asteroid. When they are ready to explode the asteroid, they make a discovery that will change their decision.
'Fail Safe" is a tense episode of "Stargate SG-1" with Sam trying to find a means to save Earth. The description of Daniel about the dialog of Jack with the Asgardian is hilarious. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Fail Safe"
