List of episodes

"Chimera" is the 15th episode from the seventh season of military science fiction adventure television show Stargate SG-1 and is the 147th overall. It was first broadcast on January 20, 2004, on Sky One in the United Kingdom. The episode was written by the shows executive producer Robert C. Cooper, with Damian Kindler writing the teleplay and Will Waring directing.

Contents

In the episode, Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) has been having strange dreams, recalling memories of his time spent with Dr. Sarah Gardener (Anna-Louise Plowman), before she became host to the Goa'uld Osiris that don't quite line up with what actually happened. Meanwhile, Major Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) starts seeing a police detective, Pete Shanahan (David DeLuise), who becomes curious about the top secret Air Force project Carter works for.

The episodes writers Damian Kindler and Robert C. Cooper, along with actor Amanda Tapping have all described "Chimera" as a "departure" episode for its greater emphasis on the romance and character development of Samantha Carter & Pete, and Daniel & Sarah. Although the episode was well received, "Chimera" introduced Pete Shanahan, notoriously referred to by fans, and later by critics and even those involved in the shows production as "Stalker Pete".

Plot

The Goa'uld Osiris has snuck into Daniel Jackson's (Michael Shanks) home and is using a device to enter his mind as he sleeps. The next morning in a coffee shop, Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) meets her new boyfriend Pete Shanahan (David DeLuise) who tries to persuade her to spend the day with him instead of going to work. Declining Pete's request, she arrives at Stargate Command and is greeted by a tired Daniel who tells her about a strange dream he had about his ex-girlfriend Sarah, who is now host to Osiris. Daniel explains that in his dreams he's reliving events from his and Sarah's time together in Chicago, however he feels as though things aren't quite right. Carter then tells Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) about her new relationship with Pete, revealing to him that her brother set them up together.

Using an Asgard transporter Osiris continues to visit Daniel at night as he sleeps, and one night shows Daniel a stone tablet covered with strange symbols, which she asks for Daniel's help in deciphering. The next morning at Stargate Command, an extremely tired Daniel tells Sam and Teal'c (Christopher Judge) about his dreams and the tablet. He tells them that the tablets bears resemblance to the one they found on Abydos and Teal'c & Sam suggest he's that he's subconsciously attempting to reveal the location of the Lost City.

Pete takes Sam to a ballroom dance, and afterwards they spend the night together at Sam's house. The next morning, after confiding in Sam about his previous marriage and divorce, Pete leaves frustrated after Sam's seeming unwillingness to reveal any details about her life and the work she does. Pete contacts a friend in the FBI, who warns him that Carter must be involved in something big & top secret. Osiris once again has returned and linked her mind with Daniel as he sleeps. In Daniel's dream, he is becoming increasingly frustrated at being unable to understand one of the passages of text on the tablet. Much to Daniel's disbelief Sarah is able to correctly translates it. A confused Daniel then realises he and Sarah had planned to go out for dinner to celebrate two months since they first started seeing each other, but Sarah claims not to mind. Daniel however recognises that when he really missed their date, Sarah left him.

The next day Daniel describes his dreams to Teal'c, Sam and General Hammond (Don S. Davis), when Teal'c suddenly realises that the Goa'uld possess the technology to explore people minds and that Osiris could in fact be on Earth probing Daniel when he sleeps. That night, SG-1 put Daniel's house under surveillance and plan to block Osiris' escape by jamming her from transporting away. Osiris arrives and reconnects Daniel and themselves to the constructed reality, but once in there Daniel admits the text means nothing to him, causing Osiris to sever the connection and begin attacking Daniel in the real world. O'Neill and Teal'c move in as Osiris attempts to transport out.

Unable to do so, they instead turn their attention to O'Neill, throwing him back with their hand-device before shooting at Teal'c. Pete, who has followed Sam to the stakeout confronts her as Osiris comes out the front door and begins firing at the pair who both return fire. O'Neill shoots Osiris with a tranquilliser, but not before Pete is hit by weapons fire.

At the SGC, Sarah wakes up, after finally being freed from Osiris, and cries on Daniel's shoulder. In another room, Pete is visited by Sam, who finally tells him the truth about her work and the Stargate.

Production

Development and writing

Robertcooper.jpg
Damian Kindler.jpg
Executive producer Robert C. Cooper came up with the outline of the story, developing it further with Damian Kindler who went on to write the teleplay.

Executive producer Robert C. Cooper wanted to use season seven of Stargate SG-1 as an opportunity to "really showcase a little more of the personal sides" of the characters Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c. [1] This was influenced by the reduced availability of Richard Dean Anderson who portrays Colonel Jack O'Neill in the series, with Cooper explaining "he's going to be present in almost every episode. But there's going to be a lot more focus put on the other three characters and their relationships". [2]

Actress Amanda Tapping felt that despite her character of Samantha Carter's "obvious attraction" to Anderson's O'Neill, it was very important that "Carter not sit there pining away for her commanding officer", with the actress believing that it "weakens her considerably" and that she was "starting to get sick" of it as a plot point. Tapping also believed that Carter's dating history had become "a joke on the Internet, the 'Black Widow Curse'" and so she encouraged the writers to move away from these elements. [3] [4] [5] Cooper as show-runner, and Brad Wright before him had frequently commented upon the will-they-won't-they dynamic between Carter and O'Neill, citing that the United States Air Force involvement in the show made it an impossibility to explicitly link the two characters romantically due to O'Neill being Carter's superior officer. [6] [7] [8] [9] Both fans of the show and those involved in making the series joked that Carter had a "Black Widow Curse", whereby everyone she was linked to romantically ended up dying, which included Martouf ("Divide and Conquer"), Narim ("Between Two Fires") & Jonas Hanson ("The First Commandment"). [10] [11] Conversations between Tapping and Cooper lead them to evaluate where the character would then go, with Cooper explaining that Carter "tends to be, in our scripts, the person who does all of the techno-babble exposition, and we sometimes lose track of the fact that she's also a woman, who has a life, and we wanted to explore that too". [8] As writing commenced on the new season in late 2002, Cooper pitched the idea of Carter entering a relationship and having the love interest live out the episode. The pitch idea was subsequently referred to as "Black Widow Carter". [12] [13] [14]

With the return of actor Michael Shanks in season seven, a number of stories that were shelved from season six due to the character of Daniel Jackson's absence were now able to be told, one of which was Cooper's desire to reunite Jackson with the Goa'uld Osiris. [15] [16] Co-producers Paul Mullie and Joseph Mallozzi then married the Daniel/Osiris story with "Black Widow Carter", and Cooper assigned writer and producer Damian Kindler to pen the episode, fleshing the story out together first. [17] [18] [13] Upon joining the writing staff in season six, Kindler felt that Carter was "woefully under-explored". He believed the characters "abilities are without doubt. She’s a genius, she’s brave, she’s worthy, she’s heroic", but he wanted to add more layers to Carter "that would flesh her out to me as a person". [10] Kindler described himself as becoming "fascinated as to what else was going on" with the character, calling it a "mini-agenda" that he tell "some good Carter stories", and would go on to write the episodes "Space Race" and "Grace" to focus on the character in season seven. [13] [10] In the episode "Grace", Kindler described having Carter "address some very heavy issues in her life in order to find a reason to keep going", one of which being Jack O'Neill, with Kindler using the story to show Carter's feeling for O'Neill and "what that has been doing to her for seven years". [13] Kindler and Cooper wanted the repercussions of "Grace" to play out in "Black Widow Carter", having Carter move on from O'Neill and get a boyfriend. [8] [19]

For the Daniel and Osiris storyline, Kindler rewatched the Sarah Gardener, host of the Goa'uld Osiris, introductory episode "The Curse" from the shows fourth season as he wanted his episode to be a sequel that concluded their storyline. [11] Plot points including Osiris' alliance with the Goa'uld Anubis and the information and technology gained from Anubis' torture of Thor in the season five episode "Revelations" were incorporated, as was the continuing search for The Lost City. [11] [20] Kindler engineered the Daniel and Osiris story to run concurrently with the Sam romance story. [21] Kindler also considered the journey of Teal'c as a character and the events of "The Changeling" when looking at how the character would contribute. [11] Kindler recognised that since losing his Goa'uld symbiote, Teal'c would now sleep and dream, something the character did not previously do and therefore would be able to help Daniel Jackson with his dreams, recognising the Goa'uld manipulation. [11] The title "Chimera" was selected by Kindler because of Carter's romantic history, with the writer likening her to a monster or Chimera as well as its alternative meaning that he described as a "fleeting dream that doesn't last". [11] Kindler wrote the script during the shows summer hiatus, completing his final draft on July 15, 2003, before submitting the finished script on July 24, 2003. [13] [22] Cooper noted that there ended up being "three Carter-heavy shows almost in a row" with "Grace", "Chimera" and then "Death Knell". [23]

Cast

David DeLuise (left) became the fourth member of the DeLuise family to appear on the show, guest starring as Carter's love interest Pete Shanahan. Anna-Louise Plowman (right) reprises her role of Osiris/Sarah Gardener, making her final appearance in the series.

An offer was made to Ben Browder to play the role of Carter's love interest, however the actor turned the part down. [8] Browder was later considered for the roles of Major John Sheppard as well as Colonel Dillon Everett in Stargate Atlantis , before eventually being cast as Colonel Cameron Mitchell, becoming one of the shows main characters from season nine onwards. [24] [25] Executive producer Michael Greenburg instead suggested David DeLuise, younger brother of SG-1 director, writer and producer Peter DeLuise. [26] Peter phoned David to gauge his interest and availability in playing the part and a day later David was given an offer and put on a plane that evening, with filming taking place the very next day. [26] [27] The original name for the character failed to clear the shows lawyers as there was a person living in Denver with the same name, with the character instead being named Pete Shanahan. [28] David DeLuise's casting in the show made him the fourth member of the DeLuise family to appear, with Dom DeLuise guest starring as Urgo in the episode of the same name and Michael DeLuise guest starring as Nick Marlowe in "Wormhole Extreme" and later "200". [29] Prior to filming, Kindler and Peter sat down with David and helped him define the character, with Peter believing it was important that Pete be portrayed "a little more grown up" as Peter wanted it to be "believable that Sam’s character was attracted or involved" with someone like David DeLuise's Pete. [30] [31] [26]

Anna-Louise Plowman returns as Dr. Sarah Gardener, host to the Goa'uld Osiris. The episode had originally been planned for later in the season, however Plowman's availability which was coupled with having to fly the actress in from the United Kingdom where she resided, meant bringing it forward to accommodate the actress. [11] [4] Prior to "Chimera" Plowman had last appeared in the season five episode "Revelations", and although open to returning as Gardener the episode marks her final appearance in the franchise. [32]

Filming

"Chimera" is the third episode directed by series camera operator Will Waring. [33] Peter F. Woeste served as cinematographer, although as filming was split over a long period with multiple episodes being worked on simultaneously, therefore Andrew Wilson stepped in as director of photography for some scenes whilst Woeste directed "Inauguration". [11] Parts of the episode "Grace" were also filmed by the shows second unit whilst the shows main unit worked on "Chimera". [34]

More urban location filming was used than a typical episode of the show, with location manager Lynn Smith commenting that they were "all over the place". One of the first locations visited was the recurring home of Samantha Carter, a private residence on Grand Boulevard in North Vancouver. Smith noted that they had to "make sure that the neighbours had had enough of a break between projects" as the location had become popular with other productions. Boulevard Park opposite the house was also used. [35] The FBI office of Special Agent Farrity (Paul Jarrett) was also shot at the residence on Grand Boulevard. [11] Shots Amanda Tapping's Sam Carter in the doorway of her house and the subsequent reactions of David DeLuise's Pete in the scene where Pete arrives to take Sam to the dance were shot two weeks apart. DeLuise's reaction shots were also filmed at an entirely different location, with DeLuise instead reacting to Anne Marie Loder due to Tapping not being available. [11] Production then moved to a private residence on Edinburgh Street in North Burnaby for two days, with the location being used as the home of Dr. Daniel Jackson. The road outside the residence was also shut down to film the shootout between SG-1, Pete and Osiris, followed by blowing up a van. [35] The surveillance van interior was built in the Stargate embarkation room at The Bridge Studios. [11] Elsewhere on the standing sets at Bridge Studios, the multipurpose room was dressed as a canteen for a number of scenes, before being redressed as a gym. [11] Amanda Tapping had originally intended for her character Samantha Carter to hum the theme tune of Richard Dean Anderson's former series MacGyver whilst sharing a lift with Anderson's Jack O'Neill. Tapping couldn't remember MacGyver in time, so instead opted to brake the fourth wall by humming the Stargate SG-1 theme. [4] [36]

An exterior shot of University of Chicago Laboratory Schools (pictured bottom right) features as the office of Daniel Jackson, however filming actually took place at North Vancouver Museum & Archives.

For Daniel's office at The University of Chicago filming took place at then home of North Vancouver Museum & Archives on West 4th Street in North Vancouver. [35] Andrew Jackson stepped in as director of photography at this location due to Woeste directing "Inauguration" at the time. [11] Exterior shots of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools were inserted during editing. [35] The community hall attached to the Saint Nicholas and Dimitrios Greek Orthodox Church down the road from The Bridge Studios was used for the 60th wedding anniversary ballroom dance that Sam and Pete attend. [11] Amanda Tapping wore her own Betsey Johnson dress for the scenes. [11] Producer and director Andy Mikita's Funk-soul band The Hip Replacements were the act performing at the ballroom dance. [11] The production team created a poster featuring executive producer Robert C. Cooper sporting a top hat, dancing with production accountant & wife of Peter Woeste, Nicole Forest. In Waring's original cut, the dance scene opened with a close-up of the poster before panning round to Sam and Pete. Despite objections from Waring and Kindler, Cooper rearranged the shots during editing and removed the close-up. Posters were subsequently put around the shows production offices at The Bridge Studios. [11] Parents of executive producer John Smith appear onscreen as the couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, with the couple having hit the milestone in real life that past November. [35] Elements Cafe located across the street from The Bridge Studios was also used. [35] [11]

Amanda Tapping commented that "Chimera was interesting because it didn't feel like a Stargate episode" and that she felt "very out of my element, wearing high heeled shoes and skirts", noting that the shows costume set supervisor Barry Peters felt it was more like "shooting a movie of the week" or a "Harlequin romance". [37] [4] [38]

Release

Broadcast and ratings

"Chimera" first aired on January 20, 2004, on Sky One in the United Kingdom. [39] [40] In the United States, the episode first aired on January 30, 2004, on the Sci-Fi Channel. The episode reportedly earned a 1.9 household rating, equating to approximately 2.3 million viewers. Stargate SG-1 continued to be the Sci-Fi Channel's highest rated show, maintaining the same rating as previous episode "Fallout". Ultimately the episode's 1.9 rating would make it the joint third most popular episode of the seventh season. [41] [42] Upon first being syndicated on February 7, 2005, in the United States, the episode scored a 2.0 household rating, equating to approximately 2.2 million households. [43] "Chimera" was first shown in Canada on December 16, 2004, on SPACE. [44] [45]

Reception

Paul Spragg for Starburst awarded the episode a full 5 out of 5, calling it "Simply done, but very enjoyable". Spragg praised the character development and chemistry between the couples as being "spot on", whilst also highlighting the episode for its "great comic moments". [46] Jayne Dearsley for SFX also awarded the episode the full 5 out of 5, and similarly directed their praise at what they called "wonderful character moments - too many to count", also complementing the chemistry between Shanks and Plowman. Dearsley also appreciated the decision to have Daniel Jackson save Sarah from the Goa'uld Osiris after being unable to save his wife Sha're from Amaunet earlier in the show. [47] Writing for TV Zone, Jan Vincent-Rudzki called the episode "undoubtedly one of the highlights of this season", giving it 9 out of 10. Although Vincent-Rudzki was critical of the Daniel Jackson and Sarah storyline, writing the "story takes too long to get going and doesn't really spark any interest much before its conclusion", but did however enjoy the Sam and Pete romance for its "charming dialogue which is a pleasure to hear". The TV Zone reviewer went on to say "'Awe' has been missing for a lot of this season, and so when down-to-Earth Pete encounters his first alien his reaction is a reminder of that thrill from previous adventures". [48] Marco Lanzagorta for Popmatters called Samantha Carter humming the Stargate SG-1 theme tune "delightful". [49]

The response from fansite Gateworld was mixed. Alli Snow criticised the episode for being "more concerned with 'getting Sam a guy who doesn't die' than writing a single, solid story", but did enjoy the interplay between Daniel and Osiris/Sarah as well as the scenes with Teal'c "finally getting the opportunity to show some humor and extracurricular interests". In a more positive fan review on Gateworld, Lex called "Chimera" "one of those episodes that leaves you with a smile on your face", praising Amanda Tapping for playing the part of a "charmed and content woman beautifully" and believing that "David DeLuise complemented that performance with a confident and cheeky portrayal of Pete". [50] Writer and producer Joseph Mallozzi observed that the response from fans online to the line "There's no zoo in Colorado Springs" was particularly surprising to the writers. The series fictional setting of Stargate Command is set within the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado Springs, with Cheyenne Mountain Zoo located close by. Many fans complained that this was an oversight from the writers, however Mallozzi commented that the line was intended to subtly poke fun at Carter for being so invested in her work on the base, that she "hasn't even taken the time to have a social life", with the writer reflecting that "It was a throw-away that was, perhaps, a little too subtle". [51]

The episode marks the first appearance of Samantha Carter's love interest, Pete Shanahan, with fans coining the name "Stalker Pete" for the character. [26] [52] Author of the Stargate SG-1 Illustrated Companion Thomasina Gibson wrote "Good grief! If ever a character stirred up controversy it was the lovely Pete Shanahan. He waltzed in, swept Sam Carter onto slinky high-heeled feet and sent the internet into overdrive as fans fought to decide whether or not he deserved the moniker 'Stalker Pete'." [53] Snow for Gateworld wrote "Perhaps doing a background check on and following a potential partner around town comes off as cute and concerned to some. But to others, it possibly harkens back to Sam's propensity to attract guys with stalker tendencies", highlighting previous love-interests of Samantha Carter, Narim in "Between Two Fires" and Orlin in "Ascension" who he believed also exhibited stalking tendencies. [50] Of Shanahan, Spragg called the character "a perfect foil for Carter, romantic, funny and smart", whilst Vincent-Rudzki wrote "David Deluise plays Pete beautifully and the chemistry between him and Sam works perfectly". [46] [48]

Is it true there's love in the air for Sam Carter? Possibly, according to Tapping. "There's a script I've been told about but haven't read yet in which Sam may get a boyfriend off-base. However, I've been promised he doesn't die. Jokes have been made on the Internet about a Black Widow curse and Sam not being able to keep a boyfriend that stays alive. Apparently that won't be the case this time. The problem is he can't know what Sam does for a living, and that's one of the issues she'll struggle with. I'm sure this guy will have issues to deal with too. He'll wonder, 'What's she's up to? Why can't I get in touch with her on her cell phone for a week at a time?' Unfortunately, Sam can't say, 'Sorry, honey, my cell phone doesn't work off-world.' "It's important that I reiterate that Sam doesn't require a man to complete herself. I just think it's part of my character's evolution that she needs to decide how much of herself she's willing to give to her career and what she's sacrificing in doing so. Again, I'm not sure if this episode will actually be made but if it is it'll be interesting to see how Sam deals with things."

Cooper remains unrepentant about the character affectionately known as Stalker Pete: "One of the things we've been trying to do is explore the characters' lives outside of the SGC. Sam Carter is an attractive, accomplished, intelligent woman and it was inconceivable that she would go through her life without some sort of romantic relationship. I know a lot of fans feel she should be with O'Neill, but hey, they are in the military and that is just not going to happen. Well, not in this universe." Cooper says with a twinkle, knowing full well that Stargate SG-1 is known for its occasional foray into alternative universes.

"We knew we were going to do a Carter relationship story a long time ago." Yes, you heard that right. "I finally get my boyfriend!" Amanda Tapping laughs, taking a few minutes away from preparing for her directorial debut which begins shooting the week after our visit. "David DeLuise plays him - we'd had all the DeLuises on the show except him. It's a dual storyline between Carter and her new boyfriend, and Daniel and Osiris/Sarah. When we watched it, we went, 'Wow, this is so not a Stargate episode!' It's a departure for us - it's sort of a dramatic episode, and I think it's a good one. It's not something we'd do all the time, but it's got enough of the elements if Stargate in it, and it delves deeper into Daniel and Sam's personal lives. After this length of time, we're allowed that! It's also got a cool dynamic between Carter, Daniel and Teal'c, and it was nice that Michael, Christopher and I got to play that dynamic again.

Following Grace, Damian Kindler wrote Chimera, which reunites Daniel Jackson with an old-flame-turned-foe and also introduces Pete Shannon (David Deluise), a new love interest for Samantha Carter. "Rob Cooper had wanted to do a story like this for while, and one day he came to me and said, 'I'm too busy to write the script, so I'd like you to do it. Here's the basic idea'," recalls Kindler. "So we came up with this cool episode that has two stories running concurrently. In one, Carter gets a boyfriend, and in the other, Daniel and Osiris [Anna-Louise Plowman] meet again. She's posing as his former love Sarah and, using Tok'ra memory technology, invades Daniel's dreams while he sleeps at night. I can't tell you how it ends but I will say that things get a little bit crazy when it comes to boyfriends and girlfriends," he smiles.

Amanda had three Carter-heavy shows almost in a row between Grace, Death Knell and Chimera. She's just done a fantastic job of elevating herself as an actress as well as her character of Carter in those episodes. Grace, in particular, is rather special. Peter Woeste did a brilliant job directing it and it's a wonderful show for Carter. It reveals elements of her personality and state of mind as a person that you'd normally never get to see.

David DeLuise has become the fourth member of the DeLuise dynasty to work on Stargate SG-1. The actor has landed a guest role on the series' seventh season as Detective Peter Shannon. The latest member of the DeLuise clan to join Stargate appears in episode 19, Chimera, and begins dating SG-1 member Sam Carter (Amanda Tapping). Sam is initially forced to hide her work from him, but then finally addresses her ill-fated history with men when he is seriously injured. "Carter finally gets a boyfriend who does not die, for the first time," says Tapping of her characters latest romance. "I got to wear skirts and heels, and at the end of the night, this very sexy dress. He takes her out dancing. I just spent the morning naked... So, it's a whole new departure for this character."

Stargate SG-1 guest-star David Deluise, who plays Sam Carter's new main squeeze Pete Shannon in Chimera, took away nothing but fond memories from the filming of this story. "My first day on set I met the writer of the episode, Damian Kindler," recalls Deluise. "He's a really cool guy and so easy to talk with, especially when it came to helping me define my character." "Of course, most of my scenes in the episode are with Amanda Tapping. She's such a gracious individual and totally accessible as an actress. Some actors after working for years on a TV series tend not to bother with other people on the job, guest-stars included. Amanda, on the other hand, is never too busy for anyone. It was as if the two of us were doing community theatre, and by that I mean she loves to rehearse. We had instant on-screen chemistry, and that either happens or it doesn't. You can try to fake it but you can't lie to the camera. I've got my fingers crossed that Stargate fans don't crucify my character because Sam and Pete do a little making out in the episode," laughs the actor. "I know there are quite a few viewers out there who don't want her to be with anyone except Colonel O'Neill. I would ask those fans to please see it in their hearts that because Sam and Jack are in the military they aren't allowed to be together. So Sam has to find romance somewhere, right? Hopefully, audiences will take a liking to Pete because I'd love nothing more than to go back up to Vancouver next season and play him again, and again, and, oh yeah, again."

A great deal of Grace was shot using the second unit, so it took over a month to finish because I was going back and forth between it, Death Knell and Chimera. Talk about a bit of a head-trip for yours truly. It was really funny because on Death Knell we shot two days where Sam is running from a super soldier and she's covered with blood and is just dirty and filthy. The very next day we did a scene from Chimera where I'm completely dolled up and wearing lipstick, and smart little dress and high-heeled shoes. It was like, 'Whoa, where am I today?' I didn't know whether or not I was coming or going," she chuckles. The actress was especially pleased with the casting of David DeLuise as Sam Carter's new love interest Pete Shanahan in Chimera. "I was thrilled that the producers chose David because I wanted someone with good comedic chops for the lighter moments between Sam and Pete," explains Tapping. "David and I had instant on-screen chemistry. He's so savvy and smart and has a boyish charm about him. I thought he did a fantastic job in the episode. As for Sam, we get to expose viewers to a whole other side of her in Chimera. It's a very feminine, sexy and playful side that's not often revealed. It was fun to portray her as a 'real person'. David and I had this one scene where our characters are coming home and we're walking and talking about it and I thought, 'This is 'real people talk. How do I do this?' I also got to dance in the episode, so it was a treat for me all around.

Of all the Stargate seventh season episodes, Chimera proved the busiest for the show's locations manager Lynn Smith. "We were all over the place for that one," she laughs. "Filming started out at Carter's house, which is a recurring location for us. However, it's become popular with other production companies, too. so prior to shooting we had to make sure that the neighbours had had enough of a break between projects. The house itself is owned by a very nice family. They were actually going out of town and, because they knew and trusted us, gave us the keys so we could carry on working. "Then we went to another residence, a new house in North Burnaby that we'd never been to before. A single gentleman lives there and he'd renovated the place, so we shot the scenes in Daniel's bedroom there. We also exploded a van on the street outside his house so we were there for two days. That was exciting. The city rep came out to watch and we had the Burnaby fire department there as well as the police because there was tons of gunfire going on. Once again, Wray Douglas [Special FX coordinator] and his guys did us proud." "For Daniel's lab we went to the North Vancouver museum's archives. Then there was a ballroom dance scene, and for that we used the Greek Orthodox hall, right down the street from our studios (pictured here). The set dec guys did a super job transforming it into a dance hall. My in-laws [exec producer John Smith's parents] appear on-camera as a couple celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Ironically, their real-life 60th anniversary was this past November." "Finally, we were at a coffee shop. Elements, located right across the street from us and whose owners are just wonderful. So Chimera kept us on our toes but it was fun..."

Now, this was an episode and some," laughs Amanda Tapping. "This is where Carter gets to show yet another side of herself so to speak... and what a side it was. I couldn't have had a better onscreen partner than David DeLuise. First time I met him we ere actually shooting 'Death Knell', and I found him charming and funny. There was instant chemistry, and I think it does show when we work together. I remember going home the first night after we had worked together and my husband asked 'How's David?' and I replied, 'he's a nice guy. He's great to talk to. He's not overtly sexy. He's charmingly sexy. I really like him." Tapping also recalls, "Shooting 'Chimera' wasn't like shooting a Stargate episode at all. Michael Shanks and I talked about this during shooting, saying, 'This doesn't feel like a Stargate episode.' And then we watched it and we went, 'It doesn't look like a Stargate episode either!' Barry Peters, our wardrobe guy, came to me when we were shooting the dance scene (which was actually the fiftieth wedding anniversary part for our producer John Smith's parents) and Barry sighed, 'Oh I'm going to miss this episode. It's been like shooting a movie of the week. It's like a Harlequin romance. I understood entirely what he meant - and that was the challenge for me. To wear the dress and do the whole flirty, skirty, girlie thing, which is so far removed from how we usually see Sam.

This episode contains several elements that Stargate has been missing recently, and therefore is a breath of fresh air. With the team always so segregated from the rest of the world, it's good to see two of them having some kind of personal life, and the chemistry in the couples is spot on, which is a massive help. David DeLuise's Pete is a perfect foil for Carter, romantic, funny and smart, and after getting very little insight into her character before she became possessed by Osiris, Anna Louise Plowman's Sarah comes across far better here. It's also good to see some movement in the ongoing storylines, as another dangling thread is finally wrapped up, something the writers seem to have been unwilling to do this year. While the main story is fairly simple, it's in the character scenes that this episode really scores, with some great comic moments and a series of one-on-one conversations that show how well the cast members get on, both on and off set. Simply done, but very enjoyable. 5/5.

There's barely any action in "Chimera", if you leave aside the team storming Daniel's bedroom and capturing Osiris at the end as she meddles with his brain. Instead there's lots of soppy romance (Pete takes Carter to a tea dance, for Chrissakes!); Daniel moans a lot about being tired, and O'Neill looks uncomfortable that Sam has a boyfriend. Hardly the recipe for a five-star review, eh? However, what "Chimera" does have in spades is charm, and that's what raises this to a worthy five big ones. There are some wonderful character moments - too many to count - and, frankly, it's about bloody time Carter got to have a relationship with a guy who doesn't die (or ascend) at the end of the episode. Not to mention actually showing her feminine side - that poor women's worn green fatigues for so long that the sight of her in a low-cut halterneck top at the start of the episode is a bleedin' revelation. The fact that she actually gets some nookie too is the cherry on top! Which, er, sounds unintentionally dirty, so let's move on... Daniel's dream trysts with Osiris aren't as dull as you'd expect - dreams about someone translating an ancient tablet don't scream "exciting", but there's some nice chemistry between Shanks and Plowman to offset that. He gets to save Sarah from her Goa'uld host, too, which is kinda fitting after he never managed to do that for his own wife. Will there be a romance for them in the future, we can't help but wonder...? Other nice touches: Shanks sudden muscle development gets an explanation as we see him and Teal'c lifting weights together; Teal'c gets to save the day for once; Carter gets into an elevator and hims the show's theme music, and Pete actually gets to live out the episode and discover Carter's secret. Now, there's a first! He's also the final DeLuise brother to appear in the show. Next they'll start giving guest roles to cats... 5/5.
  48. 1 2 Vincent-Rudzki, Jan (February 2004). "Stargate SG-1 - Season 7 - G15 - Chimera". Reviews. TV Zone . No. 173. Visual Imagination. pp. 67–68. ISSN   0960-8230. These are, to all intents and purposes, two separate stories but that doesn't matter. The Daniel/Sarah story takes too long to get going and doesn't really spark any interest much before its conclusion. We know in the scenes of Daniel being manoeuvred that this is what is happening, so the only mystery is why, and that's too obviously just a setup for something in a later episode rather than having any relevance for this one. On the other hand, the romance of Sam and Pete has charming dialogue which is a pleasure to hear. David Deluise plays Pete beautifully and the chemistry between him and Sam works perfectly. What a pity 'there was not any hint of this before, and that it looks like he won't be back. Here's a story arc that should and could have lasted for at least half the season. Once again the knowing looks between Carter and O'Neill speak volumes of their relationship - I just wish I knew what's in those volumes! As well as the romance, it is the growing suspicion by Pete about Sam that is a pleasure to watch. 'Awe' has been missing for a lot of this season, and so when down-to-Earth Pete encounters his first alien his reaction is a reminder of that thrill from previous adventures. This is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this season (even if Daniel wouldn't say Hieroglyphics but Hireroglyphs). 9/10.
