Trivia / Stargate SG 1 S 5 E 3 Ascension

• Casting Gag: Colonel Simmons, who wants to apprehend or kill Orlin so he can get his hands on the Velonan super weapon is played by John de Lancie aka Q, the meddlesome noncorporeal being.
  • In fact, this episode parallels the TNG episode "Deja Q", in which Q is exiled and Brought Down to Normal as punishment for his meddling but earns redemption with an attempted Heroic Sacrifice.
