The Team emerges from the Gate to find themselves inside what appears to be an ancient Greek or older temple. After a brief history lesson from Daniel, we hear a woman screaming, apparently in pain. After Sam's pointed remark, "Don't look at me," Daniel ultimately comes to the rescue, helping birth a baby. In the village we find the "Chosen People," all apparently in their 20's or younger. They're partying and feasting, and having a grand time, culminating in the Colonel being "picked" by "Kynthia" for something special.
The overall story is good, with some excellent words of wisdom between the now elderly Colonel and Kynthia. However, there's one big question: Who supplies these people with what they need? Where's the food come from, or the fancy cloth for their costumes? Surely these young people don't farm or otherwise manage the practical necessities of life. Did their god, Pelops, leave supplies for the many generations to come? Or did Pelops supply the Chosen with a replicator? After I saw the show, this void continued to gnaw on me. Also, nobody seemed to catch the significance of the baby's birthmark as similar-shaped objects were noted in the blood samples.
