    Slightly off-topic, but why was O’Neill often not knocked out when taking a blast? Everyone else including Teal’C was out cold after a single hit.

      It changes based on who needs to be completely unconscious vs who needs to be able to move in short order for plot purposes.

      I’m sure they could also hand-wave an explanation about how much energy you have to do things, so fresh from sleep and a good breakfast with coffee might make you feel like you liked a power line but you’ll be up in a minute, but if it’s 3am and you haven’t eaten since lunch, your ass is out.

      I go with that as headcannon.
