It's worth noting that Evolution 2, the most highly rated episode of
Stargate SG-1 since it began broadcasting on SCI FI Channel, is the
first to advertise a Jack and Daniel storyline. Evoluton 2 also
received attention for actor Michael Shanks in US institution TV Guide
with a Second Half Season Opener feature:
January 9, 2004:
Daniel Jackson is at the mercy of kidnappers in the conclusion of a
two-part episode co-written by the actor who plays him, fan favorite
Michael Shanks. Last time we saw Daniel, he and a colleague were
in Honduras seeking an alien artifact tied to a Mayan Fountain of Youth
myth. Here, O'Neill is sent to retrieve them and the device
before it finds its way to Anubis, who is busy creating an army of
enhanced warriors. In an attempt to put the kibosh on that
scheme, Carter's dad (Carmen Argenziano) joins her and Teal'c to
infiltrate the would-be god's complex.
