Works just fine for me.
Synopsis:
“PlotEdit
The episode begins with Samantha Carter breakfasting with her husband Joseph Faxon as they discuss their fertility problems. They also mention the Aschen, an advanced civilization who possess a very high grade of medical and other technology.
It turns out that the year is 2010, a 10-year jump into the future from the previous episode. Earth has transformed into a seeming paradise of long life and perfect health thanks to an alliance with the Aschen Confederation. It is the 10-year anniversary of SG-1’s first encountering the Aschen, and there is going to be a ceremony commemorating the event. The Stargate now serves as a public gateway to other worlds and stands in the J.R. Reed Space Terminal. With the help of the Aschen, the Goa’uld have been defeated; the President of the United States is SG-1 nemesis Robert Kinsey. During the ten year anniversary ceremonies, the former SG-1 members are all present—minus Jack O’Neill. It also turns out that Major General George S. Hammond is dead.
At this point in time, Sam and her husband, Ambassador Joseph Faxon, are trying to get pregnant, but so far no luck. Their doctor, an Aschen, says there’s nothing wrong with either of them and that they should just keep trying. When she tells Dr. Janet Fraiser, Janet asks Sam to come by her office for an examination. Janet mentions that she is bored, given the near absence of disease thanks to Aschen medical technology. Sam agrees to be examined by her, and Janet makes a shocking discovery: Sam has been sterilized. She’ll never be able to have children. Sam is devastated, not only because she can’t have children, but because her Aschen doctor lied to her by telling her there was nothing wrong with her. Both wonder if this problem has occurred anywhere else in the world. They use the Aschen computer at Sam’s lab to do a search, under the guise of running simulations of the collapse of Jupiter into a star.
Sam and Janet soon discover a dark secret: Aschen medical treatments have made 91% of humans infertile, allowing them to bloodlessly take over the Earth through a long-term invasion. They appear to have killed General Hammond when he became suspicious.”
That was a weird episode, but they could have given it a plot twist. Did the Aschen have children ? When you can live thousands of years, why would you ever have children ?
Was this meant for me?
