Yes, I do love some classic team SG-1. I forgot how much of Sam's home we seen in 'Ascention.'  And that the immortal "I have read of a place Humans do battle in jello" (or whatever the quote is) line is from that ep too. Hee!

Also rewatched 'Felloship of the Ring.' Wisdom can be found in all sorts of places, no?

‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ― ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.’ ― ‘The Lord of the Rings’, Book I, Chapter 2.

"He deserves death."
"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.  (Frodo and Gandalf discussing the fate of the betrayer Gollum, Chapter 'The Shadow of the Past'.)

Another way of expressing those views:

Ephesians 5: 15-16, "Be careful how you live. Live as the wise and not the unwise. Redeeming the time, for the days are evil."

Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
