Dr. McKay and Maj. Carter in “Unfinished Business”

[about Anubis] Has a real flair for the dramatic, doesn't he? Very theatrical.

Yeah, pretty much all the Goa'uld are like that.

But, why wait? Why does this guy show up a day and a half after this all starts to do his whole "prepare to meet your doom" thing?

I don't know, maybe he wanted to make sure it was gonna work.

Yeah, that would be embarrassing, wouldn't it? [pretending to be Anubis] "Nothing can stop the destruction that I bring upon you!" And then the Gate shuts down. [again pretending to be Anubis] "Oops, sorry, never mind."

Yeah, well, that didn't happen, and we only have fifty-four hours left.
