Arriving with the SG-1 team on planet P3X1279, the Jaffa Teal'c (Christopher Judge) recognizes the place as Chartago, home to the Bysra civilization--and also a harvesting ground for Goa'uld host bodies. A Bysra named Hanno (David McNally), who remembers Teal'c as the First Prime of Goa'uld leader Apophis (Peter Williams), accuses the Jaffa of murder and subjects him to a bizarre trial. O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) attempts to convince Hanno that Teal'c has changed his warlike ways--but Teal'c seems serenely resigned to his death sentence. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
A overgrown mama's boy who hasn't found the courage to take flight from the nest gets a little help from the girl of his dreams in the one comedy that proves it's never to late to strike out on your own. Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) may have hit 30, but that doesn't mean that he's ready to give up the many benefits of living at home with mom (Kathy Bates) and dad (Terry Bradshaw). His desperate parents have had enough, though, and after years of gentle nudging they soon realize that it's going to take a concerted effort to get Tripp out and enjoy their twilight years in peace.
