The eps do tend to have inconsistencies in them from time to time, & bits that make you go 'Only cos he's Macgyver!'
... But Ma Dalton is a good ep... The thing I've always thought is, it's odd that it was kept so quiet that Jack's parents were foster parents... I mean, that's quite feasible, but Mac goes 'Who were those people?' (meaning Jack's foster parents or something like that) - When that seems a bit odd/out of character that he wouldn't even call them Mr & Mrs Dalton or whatever their names were... Unless Jack really did keep them & Mac apart...
Btw, sorry for not having posted a while, but I have been PM'ing, so I have been using the site!

When SG1 started to be shown over here, it took this then stereotypical Trekkie a while to open up to the Universe of the Stargate - But thank God it got me in the end!!!
