A team of archeologists find a mysterious ring in Giza back in 1928. Later, (Present day) Dr. Daniel Jackson is giving a lecture about ancient Egypt and how he things the pyramids were built, no one believes him and everyone leaves. He is confronted by representatives for the US Air Force offering him a job. A woman named Katherine Langford asks him to join a team to study some ancient cover stones. He accepts. Daniel is studying the coverstones, on them; there is a cartouche that which he believes are words. After 2 weeks, he discovers that they are actually star constellations and it is not text to be translated but coordinates to a point in space represented by those 6 symbols, the 7th one being the point of origin. They show Daniel the ring, which is actually a "Stargate"; before Daniel leaves, Katherine gives him a necklace with the eye of Ra on it for luck. They dial in the address to the point in space, the 7th symbol is correct, the gate activates) Kind of a "Whoosh" out of the center), they send a probe through the gate. Once it was on the other side, it sent back images of the planet; the stargate on the other side had different symbols than the one on Earth. Colonel Jack O'Neil leads the team through the stargate along with Daniel Jackson; it is dark on the other side. The team is in some sort of temple, once out, they find a replica of the great pyramid in Giza behind the temple that in which the stargate is. It is a desert world, with nothing but sand or so they think. Daniel finds an animal (Like a camel); he gets caught in its harness and is dragged to a town.
They think the team members are "Gods" because Daniel has "The Eye of Ra" necklace, about 5000 people bow down before them. Daniel tells them that they aren't gods. The leader of the village invites them for dinner.
Daniel and the team have dinner with the people, the people of the village send in a woman to Daniel (So he could marry her). At first Daniel doesn't want to marry her, but then he decides to so that the leader of the village does not fear he has displeased Daniel. There is a massive sand storm that sweeps across the whole area, cutting off radio communications with the remaining members of the team back at the temple. Later, a giant Pyramid-shaped spacecraft lands atop the pyramid behind the temple. Aliens from the ship attack the members of the team at the temple; several are killed by alien weaponry (A staff that fires energy at someone and blows them away). Daniel goes with Shau'ri (His new wife) to a place where he finds a story about why the stargate on Earth was buried, It turns out that an alien who was dying took the body of a human boy so he could sustain eternal life, a rebellion took place on Earth and the stargate was buried, Ra was afraid of a rebellion on Abydos (The name of the planet the team had traveled to); outlawed reading & writing so that they would not know the truth. Daniel finds another cartouche with the address back to Earth; the seventh symbol is worn off. The team heads back to the temple, Jack looks for something but doesn't find it, the ceiling opens up and seven rings come out of it, an alien soldier is transported down in them, 2 more come, Jack and Daniel are captured.
They are taken aboard the ship in which they meet Ra. Jack attacks one of the soldiers, taking his staff weapon and firing it at another guard, Daniel is shot by the enemy, he tries to get Ra but is beaten with a staff weapon by another Jaffa (Alien soldier). Daniel is revived in an alien device then thrown into a pit with the rest of the team.
Ra takes Daniel's necklace from him. Ra wants Daniel to execute the members of his team the next day. Daniel is about the execute them when he sees one of the kids from the village with their weapons, Daniel then fires at the Jaffa and escapes with the Abydonian boys back to the village.

NOTE: Conceived by director Roland Emmerich during film school in 1979.
  • Many of the crowd scenes feature mannequins, as they were cheaper than extras.
  • Ra's ring transporter had 7 rings instead of the usual 5 probably because he was the ultimate System Lord.
  • The drawing of what now we would call Ra's previous host, looks like what is now called an Asgard.
  • First movie to have an official web site. Note the spelling difference of O'Neill in the movie vs. TV show. The movie only has 1 L
  • The planet they travelled to, Abydos, is not given a name in the movie, at least not in dialogue.
  • There are only ten characters who appear in the movie who would later appear in 'Stargate SG-1': Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, Sha're, Skaara, Kasuf, Kawalsky, Ferretti, Catherine Langford, Sara O'Neill (Jack's ex-wife) and Professor Langford (Catherine's father.)
  • Alexis Cruz (Skaara) and Erick Avari (Kasuf) are the only actors to appear in both the original movie and 'Stargate SG-1.'
  • Dr. Jackson (Spader) says that the translators have obviously been using Budge, and wonders why 'they keep reprinting his books.' He is referring to noted Egyptologist Sir E.A. Wallis Budge.

    1. Children of the Gods (1)
    gs: Peter Williams (IV) (Apophis) Jay Acovone (Major Charles Kawalsky) Vaitiare Bandera (Sha're) Robert Wisden (Major Bert Samuels) Brent Stait (Major Louis Ferretti) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) Alexis Cruz (Skaara)

    Colonel Jack O'Neill retired from the military a year ago. Prior to retirement, he led an expedition through the Stargate, an ancient portal which allows instantanous travel to other galaxies. He is called back to duty by General Hammond when a group of aliens emerge from the Stargate, kill the soldiers guarding it and kidnap a female guard. After seeing the aftermath of the alien attack and the strange bodies they left behind, O'Neill confesses that he defied the order to destroy Abydos, the world he visited via the Stargate. He reveals that Daniel Jackson, the scientist who was thought to have died on that mission, is alive and living on Abydos. It is also clear that these aliens are not from Abydos.

    O'Neill is reunited with his old comrades Kawalsky and Ferretti and joined by Capt. Samantha Carter, an astrophysicist. SG-1 returns through the Stargate to Abydos. They discover that Jackson has taken an Abydan wife, the beautiful Sha're, and that Skaara, the young Abydan boy O'Neill cherishes as a son, has grown into a fine young man. They also see Jackson's latest discovery: a giant cartouche covered in hieroglyphics that seems to be a map of many Stargates throughout the galaxy.

    As they marvel, however, the aliens led by the handsome but evil Apophis, are making use of a similar map. They emerge from the Stargate on Abydos, and after a brief battle, kidnap Sha're and Skaara. Ferretti, who was wounded in the fire fight with the aliens, has seen the hieroglyphic code that indicates the alien's destination. O'Neill and Jackson are determined to follow the aliens and to save their loved ones.

    NOTE: In this episode we learn that Ra was not the only System Lord. he was the Ultimate System Lord, but not the only System Lord. In this pilot episode we are introduced to two System Lords: Apophis and Amonet.
  • This episode is actually the 2-hour Stargate SG-1 pilot Movie but it was broken down into a 2-part episode for syndication.
  • This episode's begining credits were the same as the movie's.
  • Other countries always have the "Original" credits like that of this episode.
  • Notice that in the Abydos outside scene the sand is yellow-ish but in the background where the Great Pyramid is, the sand is red colored, that's because the Abydos scenes where filmed in Yuma, AZ and they just pasted the Great Pyramid onto the background.
  • Syndication air date: September 14, 1998.
  • Aydos is a real city in Egypt.
  • Sam talks about "MacGyvering" a dialing system - an in-joke to Richard Dean Anderson's previous long-time role as MacGyver, a hero who improvised gadgets out of common items.
  • In the original version of the script, there were 6 guards in the gate room, Apophis was called Apep & there was more dialouge.
  • In this episode, the corridors leading to the gate room are different looking.
  • The original Showtime airing of this episode featured a brief bit of nudity from actress Rachel Hayward when she is examined by the Gou'ald - this scene was subsequently deleted from SciFi Channel and syndicated reairings, however, in the Season 1 DVD set of this episode, the scene is intact.
  • Alexis Cruz (Skaara) is one of only two people to appear in both the movie and the television series. The other is Erick Avari (Kasuf).
  • Michael Shanks and Vaitiare Bandera met on the set of this episode and had a daughter together born about a year and a half later (she was not Harsisis).
  • Although Jack and Daniel are on an instant first name basis when they are reunited on Abydos, in the film Jack only refers to Daniel by his first name once and Daniel never refers to Jack by his.
  • Un-edited, this feature length episode carries an 18 certificate and contains female nudity and a lot more gory symbiotes.
  • Amanda Tapping (Captain/Major/Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter) is the only cast member who did not work with any of the other cast members before the series began.
  • Alexis Cruz (Skaara) is one of only two people to appear in both the movie and the television series. The other is Erick Avari (Kasuf). >> The above reference maybe incorrect since I think I recognize a friend of Skaara's on Abydos in COTGs who had buck teeth and I believe was the one running down the ramp outside the pyramid in the Movie when there was a staff blast and his helmet blew off his head. They thought he had died but was survived.

They know they can't save her, but can they save themselves and Skaara before they're killed by the Goa'uld guards and before General Hammond sends a nuclear weapon through the Stargate to destroy the planet?

  • 3. The Enemy Within
    gs: Jay Acovone (Major Kawalsky) Kevin McNulty (Dr. Warner) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) Alan Rachins (Colonel Kenedy)

    As the Goa'uld send bombs to splatter against the Stargate's protective iris, the SG-1 team faces several problems close to home. Colonel O'Neill wants to add a new member to the team: Teal'c, the Jaffa who risked his own skin to save O'Neill and his team on the other side of the Stargate. But General Hammond won't approve the appointment and O'Neill must watch as military intelligence agent Colonel Kennedy treats Teal'c like a guinea pig. To make matters worse, Kawalsky, O'Neill's right-hand man, has been having terrible headaches caused by an immature Goa'uld that attached itself to his brain. What they don't realize is that this larvae is trying to take over Kawalsky's body in an attempt to go back through the Stargate. Eventually the goa'uld attempts to leave and the SGC catches on and prepares to operate on Kawalsky to remove the symbiote.

    With guidance from Teal'c, the doctors operate to remove the alien, but they don't get it in time - the symbiote transferred its consciousness entirely out of its body and into Kawalsky. Teal'c is being transferred by Kennedy for scientific experimentation but realizes that Kawalsky is trying to escape after setting the base auto-destruct. Teal'c intercepts him and they fight over the active Stargate - Teal'c thrust Kawalsky's head into the gate as they shut down the gate, removing the back of Kawalsky's skull. With Teal'c having proven his loyalty, Hammond has the leverage to override Kennedy and get him appointed to SG1.

    b: 01-Aug-1997 pc: 102 w: Brad Wright d: Dennis Berry

  • 4. Emancipation
    gs: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Turghan) Jorgito Vargas (Abu) Soon-Teck Oh (Moughal)

    On the planet Simarka (P3X-593), the SG-1 team meets the Shavadai; a race of people similar to the ancient Mongols of Earth. These skilled horsemen and fierce warriors operate by a strict code, which includes second-class status for women. Dr. Samantha Carter, who takes a back seat to no man, is threatened by death on her first encounter with the Shavadai chief, Mughal, and is only spared because she saved the life of his son, Abu. Carter faces peril again when she is kidnapped by Abu, who hopes to trade her for the hand of Nya, the daughter of Mughal's powerful enemy, Turghan. The deal goes bad and Carter ends up the unwilling property of the warrior chief. She is determined to escape but torn by pity for the lovelorn Nya and Abu. Carter arranges Nya's escape from Turghan's tyranny and is rescued from his clutches by O'Neill and the SG-1 team. But, Carter's ordeal is not over yet; Turghan caught his daughter trying to elope and will stone her to death for her disloyalty unless Carter can defeat him in combat. In the circle of battle, Carter must prove she is the equal of any man -- or die trying.

    b: 08-Aug-1997 pc: 103 w: Katharyn Michaelian Powers d: Jeff Woolnough

    NOTE: Syndication air date: September 28, 1998.
  • Simarka was designated P3X-593.
  • It is mentioned during the campfire scene after Captain Carter's rescue, Colonel O'Neill mentions that Carter drank a substance on P3X-595 that made her take all her clothes off
  • Neither the name Simarka or P3X-593 is mentioned in the actual episode. This information was probably obtained from the old Showtime website.

  • 5. The Broca Divide
    gs: Steve Makaj (Colonel Robert F. Makepeace (SG-3)) Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser) Gerard Plunkett (Councilor Tuplo) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis)

    O'Neill and the SG-1 team head through the Stargate to a planet known as P3X-797 and discover a world divided between a dark and light side, with a population similarly split between the Touched and the Untouched. The Untouched, who live on the bright side, are humans, a Bronze Age people who seem almost like the Minoan civilization of Earth. The Touched, who live on the dark side, are heavy-browed primitives with limited skills and the brutal instincts of animals. The findings would only be of academic interest, but when the SG-1 team return, all but Teal'c and Jackson begin a startling transformation: they develop the heavy brows and act with the animal brutality of the Touched. Worse, so do many others at Stargate's mountain headquarters, including General Hammond. As order breaks down and the project is jeopardized, Jackson and Teal'c head back through the Stargate in an attempt to discover the reason for this mysterious transformation.

    b: 15-Aug-1997 pc: 104 w: Jonathan Glassner d: Bill Gereghty

    NOTE: This is the first appearance of Teryl Rothery as Dr. Fraiser.
  • We learn that the planets' names are coded from Samantha Carter's computer program; something to do with the "binary" system used (yet the names don't sound binary to me!)
  • Syndication air date: October 5, 1998.
  • This the first mention of Daniel's allergies, which were pivotal to this episode, since Children of the Gods (1).
  • This episode marks the 1st appearance of Steve Makaj as Col. Robert F. Makepeace.
  • Binary- meaning two. The planet names are kind of divided in half by a little dash thing. Just a guess.
  • Teryl Rothery and Steve Makaj previously appeared in the film "Masterminds" together
  • Response to binary note: Depending on what software she used, it probably translated the symbols into binary code so the computer could read them and it would also pick a letter to use for each symbol so humans could read them too.
  • The Episode "Politics" States this episode occurred in March.
  • Binary planet designation issue: The planet names could be in binary coded ASCII, which would be based on binary the computer uses. Example: P3X-797 in ASCII would be 50, 33, 58, 37, 39, 37 (hex). Convert that hex to binary and you get 0101 0000 0011 0011 0101 1000 0011 0111 0011 1001 0011 0111.

  • 6. The First Commandment
    gs: Roger R. Cross (Lieutenant Connor) William Russ (Captain Jonas Hanson)

    Colonel Jack O'Neill and the SG-1 team are sent through the Stargate after SG-9 is declared missing in action. When SG-1 arrives on the planet, they learn that the primitive cave-dwelling inhabitants greeted SG-9 as gods because they carried guns and used powerful sunscreen which allowed them to survive the deadly UV rays. The problem is that SG-9 leader Capt. Jonas Hanson has taken advantage of this opportunity for power. Hanson now rules the planet without mercy, forcing the inhabitants to rebuild the giant Gou'ald temples and condemning disbelievers to death by radiation exposure. It's clear that Hanson must be stopped, but how do you stop a god? Dr. Samantha Carter, who was once romantically involved with Hanson, thinks she can reach him. O'Neill is prepared to fight his way into Hanson's compound to save Conner, one of the surviving SG-9 team members. But, Daniel Jackson and Teal'c may have the best solution; with the help of Jamala, one of the planet's inhabitants, they set out to show the people of the planet that Hanson's power comes from technology, not divinity.

    b: 22-Aug-1997 pc: 105 w: Robert C. Cooper d: Dennis Berry

  • 7. Cold Lazarus
    gs: Harley Jane Kozak (Sara O'Neill) Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) Kyle Graham (Charlie O'Neill)

    On Planet P3X-562, the SG-1 team discovers a valley full of broken crystals. Alone, O'Neill finds a whole crystal with blue light emanating from it. Upon touching it, he is struck down and a duplicate O'Neill appears. The double returns home through the Stargate, with the unsuspecting team. Once back, the double seeks out O'Neill's estranged wife, Sara, and tries to find the couple's son, Charlie, who was killed years earlier. Meanwhile, a revived O'Neill returns through the gate, only to realize he's been replicated. Carter and Jackson have discovered that the crystals contain energy beings that can read minds, mimic people and communicate. The beings tell of their tragic encounter with the Goa'ulds and explain that they cannot survive in the Earth's intense electromagnetic field, which means that the O'Neill double is now highly unstable, putting Sara and others in great danger. The real O'Neill and the SG-1 team find Sara and the double in a hospital emergency room. The double explains that he never meant to hurt O'Neill. He was trying to heal him when he realized that the greatest pain O'Neill had was not physical, but emotional; grief from the loss of his son. In a final gesture, the double does just that, taking the form of Charlie and giving Sara and Jack something they never had: a chance to say good-bye to their son.

    b: 29-Aug-1997 pc: 106 w: Jeff F. King d: Kenneth J. Girotti

    gs: Peter Williams (IV) (Apophis) Armin Shimerman (Anteaus) Ray Xifo (Opher) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) Frida Betrani (Lya) Terry David Mulligan (Secretary of Defence David Swift)

    Under government pressure to discover superior technologies, O'Neill and the team head to a planet Teal'c remembers, which has creatures called Fenri that possess the power of invisibility. They arrive to discover a Goa'uld hunting party, led by Apophis, is already there tracking the Fenri. O'Neill's attempt at an ambush goes horribly wrong and the members of the SG-1 team are killed. They are resurrected, along with Shak'l, a Jaffa who was also killed in the battle by the Nox. The Nox are a small, peaceful, fairy-like people who occupy the planet previously thought to be uninhabited. The Nox can make things invisible - it is they who shield the A'kasha (a flying insect-like creature) from the sight of the hunters - and bring back the dead. But can they stand up to the deadly technology of the Goa'uld once Shak'l reveals their secret and location to Apophis? O'Neill and the team offer to defend the Nox against Apophis, but the peaceful little people have their own solution, far beyond the understanding of either Goa'ulds or the people of Earth.

    gs: Bobbie Phillips (Kynthia) Gabrielle Miller (Thetys) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser)

    O'Neill and the SG-1 team travel through the Stargate to Argos, where they come across a young woman giving birth. After Daniel delivers the child, the team is invited to a festival, where they find a civilization of beautiful, happy people who celebrate while the sun shines and mysteriously drop to sleep the minute that it sets. More mysteriously, they seem to age very rapidly - a lifetime is 100 days - an effect that O'Neill unwittingly inherits when he is seduced by Kynthia, a stunning Argosian woman. As O'Neill's hair turns grey and life races past, the rest of the team return to base to try to discover a cure for whatever is making O'Neill and the Argosians grow old so fast. Dr. Samantha Carter discovers the culprit: nanocytes or microscopic robots that circulate in the blood stream, apparently placed there as part of a cruel experiment by Pelops, a Goa'uld whom the Argosians worship as a god. But, the team can't figure out how to turn them off, and unless they can, O'Neill will soon be dead.

  • 10. Thor's Hammer
    gs: Galyn Gorg (Kendra) James Earl Jones (Voice of Unas) Tamsin Kelsey (Gairwyn)

    In search of allies in their battle against the Goa'ulds, O'Neill and the SG-1 team travel to the planet Cimmeria - - home to the legendary Norse gods. But, Cimmeria has long ago been declared off-limits to Goa'ulds and when the team emerges from the Stargate, Teal'c, who as a Jaffa carries an infant Goa'uld within him, is trapped in a mysterious beam of light. When O'Neill tries to save him, both men vanish, transported to a mysterious underground labyrinth. The labyrinth is home to Unas, a vicious creature that is the original Goa'uld host, but it is also Thor's Hammer, which is designed to kill Goa'ulds. As O'Neill and Teal'c fight for survival, Daniel Jackson and Dr. Samantha Carter try to rescue them, aided by Kendra, a former Goa'uld host who survived her own journey through the labyrinth years earlier.

    With Kendra's aid, Daniel and Sam eventually find the exit from the labyrinth. Teal's and Jack have made their way there as well, but the "Hammer," a beam of light that kills any Goa'uld symbiote within its host, bars their entrance - Jack can escape but Teal'c will lose his symbiote and die if he passes through. Teal'c throws himself and Unas into the beam - with the death of its symbiote the Unas dies and Jack pulls Teal'c out in the nick of time. Although weapons don't function within the labyrinth, Daniel uses Teal'c staff weapon to blast the Hammer apart from outside, destroying the mechanism. Kendra is leery of what the destruction of the Hammer portends, but the team departs after giving her a box they ask her to give to Thor should he ever return.

  • 11. The Torment of Tantalus
    gs: Elizabeth Hoffman (Catherine Langford) Keene Curtis (Dr. Ernest Littlefield) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) Duncan Fraser (Professor Langford)

    Daniel is watching a film of experiments done on the Stargate in 1945 and sees that they actually manage to turn it on. A man wearing a diving suit goes through the gate. Daniel shares this information with Catherine Langford. She tells Daniel that the man who walked through in 1945 was Dr. Ernest Littlefield who she was supposed to marry. Her father told her that he died in an explosion. Daniel then shows her the adress the the planet that Ernest went to.

    Daniel returns to the SGC with Catherine. Captain Carter finds out that the planet was not on the Cartouche found on Abydos (Meaning the Goa'uld haven't been there, which also supports that the Goa'uld didn't build the stargate system after all.) Catherine comes with them to the planet. On the other side, they find an old castle on a cliff. SG-1 finds Dr. Littlefield in the castle. They find out that the reason Ernest hasn't tried to come back is because the DHD's central Part (The dome) was broken by a piece of rock that fell from the castle years ago. It doesn't work at all.

    While Carter and Teal'c try to fix it, Earnest shows them a room with 4 distinct alien languages (Which are the Asgard, The Furling, The Ancients and the Nox which we will later discover in the episode entitled "The Fifth Race".) There is a device that projects a holographic representation of the elements (146 of them). Daniel reads Dr. Littlefield's notes which helps him understand about the languages and the elements. Meanwhile, Captain Carter tries to link the DHD's power source directly to the Stargate. It works, or so they think. It causes the castle to shake, then the DHD falls through the floor, and they have to find a new way to get home. SG-1 wants to break open the device that shows the elements. Teal'c shoots it with his Staff weapon but the device is left intact. Jack thinks that they should try "The old Ben Franklin thing" to provide energy for the gate to work. SG-1 hooks up wires and metal parts from the M.A.L.P. to the roof to attract lightning from the storm. Dr. Littlefield has Teal'c put his helmet at the top the roof. A bolt of lightning hits it, which transfers to the Stargate, and Teal'c starts to dial Earth manually while Jack gets Daniel - Daniel wants to stay.

    The gate is open. Dr. Littlefield gets Daniel to come with them. Catherine and Earnest Return through the gate. O'Neill and Daniel are still on the planet. The wormhole is destabilizing, Jack and Daniel have only a few seconds left. They arrive on Earth at the last second.

    They try to dial back to the planet but the castle fell into the ocean which buried the gate.

    When Teal'c joined the SG-1 team, he kept secret the family he left behind on Chulak for fear that it would make his new comrades doubt his loyalty. Now, however, his son Rya'c has reached the age at which he will receive his Gou'ald larva, and Teal'c is determined to stop the process that would make his boy a servant to the Gou'alds. After much debate and a promise to return with a Gou'ald larva for study, the team, disguised as monks, heads through the Stargate to Chulak, only to discover that Teal'c's family has been declared outcasts. With help from Teal'c's mentor, Bra-Tac, they battle Jaffa warriors and priests before finding Rya'c and his mother, Drey-Auc. The family reunion, however, is not as simple as Teal'c hoped; the boy needs the Gou'ald larva to survive. And the only one available is the one that is keeping Teal'c alive.

    When Archeologists exploring a Mayan pyramid in Mexico find a sarcophagus covered in Egyptian hieroglyphics, they accidentally release Hathor. Hathor is a Goa'uld who has taken on the persona of a powerful Egyptian goddess, awoken from a sleep that has lasted a millennium. After dispensing with the scientists, Hathor makes her way to the Stargate mountain facility dressed as a homeless woman. Once inside, she uses her physical charms and a drug-like pink smoke to seduce the men and enlist them in her plan to take over the world - - using O'Neill as her first Jaffa. As the goddess cooks up thousands of Goa'uld larvae and prepares O'Neill to bear one, it falls to Carter and the handful of women at the base to fight back against the powerful seductress. Aided by Teal'c, who as a Jaffa is immune to her powers, they prepare to face Hathor in a battle for the future of the planet.

But, when they get there, they discover that a strange disease has wiped out everyone on the planet. Everyone that is, except a little girl named Cassandra. As O'Neill and Teal'c remain on the planet to observe the black hole, Carter and Daniel return to Earth with the girl. Carter grows especially close to Cassandra and is shocked when she discovers that the chest pains Cassandra is experiencing are caused by a metallic device growing around the child's heart. Daniel and Carter are certain that the Goa'uld planted the device as part of a scheme to destroy the Earth's Stargate. As the time bomb ticks down, Carter is torn between her love for the little girl and her knowledge that the child is being used as a Trojan horse by the Gou'ald.

    When O'Neill and the SG-1 team travel through the Stargate to Cartago (P3X-1279), Teal'c recognizes it immediately as Chartago, home to the Bysra and one of the Goa'uld's favorite places to harvest humans for assimilation. Teal'c had come here when he was First Prime to Apophis; his visit is remembered by one of the Bysra, Hanno, who accuses Teal'c of killing his father. Teal'c is put on trial - the Bysra call it Cor-ai - but the trial proceeds far differently than a trial back home would. Hanno acts as both judge and jury and when Teal'c admits he killed his father, he's found guilty and a death sentence is passed. While O'Neill and the rest of the team try to persuade Hanno that Teal'c has changed, and is now the enemy of the Goa'uld, the Jaffa seem resigned to his sentence of death.

A volcano is erupting, spewing choking ash and burning lava, and bodies litter the ground around the Stargate. The team gathers up a few survivors and returns through the gate to Earth. The Tollans, however, are not grateful for being rescued. Their leader, Omoc, dismisses human society as primitive, refuses to answer any questions about his planet's highly advanced technology, and demands to be relocated to a similarly advanced world. Narim, another Tollan, reveals the reason for Omoc's suspicion. Years earlier, Omoc's father shared the Tollan technology with a civilization like Earth's, setting off a war that destroyed the more primitive planet and destabilized Tollan. With military intelligence sniffing around and threatening to put the Tollans to work on weapons systems, Earth seems to be heading down the same path. Having saved the Tollans from death, the SG-1 team must risk court-martial to save them from slavery and to save Earth from self-destruction.

But, the Stargate program faces a more immediate threat - - this from Senator Kinsey, powerful Chairman of the Appropriations Committee and the man who oversees Stargate's multi-billion dollar budget. Kinsey sees the program as a wasteful fat cat with dubious goals and he vows to shut it down. As he reviews the past missions with Hammond, O'Neill and the SG-1 team, he dismisses the danger presented by the Goa'uld, despite warnings from Teal'c of their power. Even Daniel's desperate warning of an imminent attack won't sway the Senator, who is determined to bury the gate and put the program out of business.

The SG-1 team, armed to the teeth, defy orders to make an unauthorized trip through the Stargate to what they believe to be the origin of the attack. They find themselves on a Goa'uld Pyramid Ship, full of Jaffa soldiers, traveling through space at many times the speed of light. They also find that they're trapped there; the Stargate will no longer connect back to Earth. As Carter and Daniel wire the ship with explosives, O'Neill and Teal'c discover that Skaara is aboard. Skaara was once the young Abydonian friend to O'Neill, but now is the host body to Klorel, son of Apophis.

    With SG-1 trapped on Klorel's ship. It seems that Earth is doomed. As the episode begins we realise that a second Pyramid Ship has entered Earth's solar System. It is Apophis' ship. The team realise that the explosives they have planted on Klorel's ship won't be enough to destroy this and Apophis' ship together. However, SG-1 are freed by Master Bra'tac when he ignores an order from Apophis to kill SG-1.

    General Hammond, is ordered to fire on the orbiting ships. The missiles are fired but cause no damage, as their defense shields were up. Bra'tac's original plan no longer works: he intended to lead his men against Apophis in Klorel's name, hoping to incite the two Goa'uld into fighting with one another. But with SG-1's presence (and attack on Klorel), a new plan must be devised. The team captures Klorel's ship, and Bra'tac maneuvers it closer to Apophis' vessel. The group then uses the transport rings to move to Apophis' ship.

    Daniel is wounded as asks to be left behind while his friends jump through the gate. He will guard their passage through.
    After escaping Apophis' clutches, the team moves to the chamber in which the energy shield is generated. A couple of grenades disable the shield, and Bra'tac prepares to die in a heroic fashion. O'Neill has other plans. With help from Bra'tac they locate the ship's glider bay, and escape the vessel. Klorel's ship explodes in a glorious ball of fire, taking the crippled ship of Apophis with it. There are two brilliant flashes in the night sky, and Earth is saved.

    Apophis and Klorel leave through the transport rings, and are presumed dead. Daniel finds a sarcophagus, and uses the Stargate on board Klorel's ship to escape to Earth's alpha site (after which he dials home to Earth). And O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c and Bra'tac are picked up in orbit by the United States shuttle Endeavor.

    Teal'c's mentor Bra'tac arrives unexpectedly through the Stargate with shocking news: the Goa'uld Apophis survived the destruction of his ship and has now kidnapped Teal'c's son, Rya'c. O'Neill and the rest of the SG-1 team agree to join Teal'c as he returns to Chulak to rescue Rya'c, but when they arrive they find much has changed. Because Teal'c didn't return from Earth, his wife, Drey'auc, assumed he was dead and married his old friend, Fro'tak. To make matters worse, Rya'c has been brainwashed by Apophis which causes him to denounce his father as a traitor and foil the team's attempts to rescue him. Fro'tak becomes jealous after seeing Teal'c and Drey'auc rekindling their marital flame. The team is almost captured and Fro' tak attempts to betray them to Apophis, forcing O'Neill to take drastic action. But, Teal'c sees a glimmer of hope when Rya'c slips a hidden message into his denunciation of his father. Teal'c wants to rescue him and take him back to Earth and although O'Neill agrees, he suspects Rya'c - or his controller, Apophis - may be setting an elaborate and deadly trap.

It's gravity causes time dilation which slows the team to a virtual standstill, and although they dial home, the wormhole times out before they can enter it. When the SGC creates a wormhole from their end and sends through a probe, the return signal is strongly red-shifted. They realize that there is nothing that they can do to help SG-10, but are unable to disengage the wormhole because it is getting energy from the black hole. The time dilation and gravitational effects reach through the outgoing wormhole and extend to entire facility, isolating the SGC in time, and threatening to absorb the entire planet. A team including Colonel Cromwell, with whom Jack has had some history, is sent in to the SGC to find out why it is out of contact with the outside world.

Hammond says that he's going to "have the Quantum Mirror destroyed," but we all know how eager the crew at Area 51 are to get rid of useful technology. Perhaps it could have an iris attached to it? After all, visible light can travel through it when its activated, so its possible that radio waves can too, and we could have a "Quantum Mirror: QM-1" spin off show.

Anise believes the devices could prove a powerful weapon in their war against the Goa'uld. However, since symbiotes seem to render the devices ineffective, she requires human test subjects to prove her theory. O'Neill, Carter, and Daniel volunteer. They are outfitted with armbands and within a short time, begin to demonstrate incredible strength and speed. But Dr. Fraiser grows concerned when medical tests suggest that the devices could be endangering their lives. General Hammond orders the armbands removed - only SG-1 is shocked to discover the devices will not come off. Anise sees an opportunity and suggests that SG-1, now outfitted with the armbands, be sent to destroy a new ship being built by Apophis. The General flatly refuses and orders SG-1 to remain on base.

Teal'c goes to Shan'auc and it is immediately evident to all that the two share chemistry and history. Shan'auc claims to have discovered a way to communicate with her symbiote, and it, in turn, has shared memories with her. These memories, she believes, could be the means to defeat the Goa'uld. She claims that through their communications, she has convinced her symbiote that the Goa'uld are evil. The symbiote is prepared to tell all it knows to the Tok'ra. Teal'c remains skeptical of Shan'auc's claim, until he, himself, shares a memory with his symbiote. The Tok'ra agree that Sha'auc's symbiote is of great value and find a willing Tok'ra host for it.

The SGC is stunned to discover that Graham is a Zatarc, the victim of Goa'uld mind control technology. According to Anise, its victims are subconsciously programmed to kill, their recollection of the procedure covered by false memories. Anyone who has come into contact with the Goa'uld could well be a Zatarc - and wholly unaware of the fact. Through the use of an experimental testing device designed by the Tok'ra, Anise sets out to determine who, at the SGC, has been programmed. The test proves successful in uncovering a second Zatarc - Lieutenant Astor, a former teammate of Graham's, who also goes berserk, shooting up the SGC before turning the gun on herself. But subsequent testing uncovers false memories in two more members of the SGC: Colonel Jack O'Neill and Major Samantha Carter.

  • 73. Watergate
    gs: Marina Sirtis (Dr. Svetlana Markov) Tom McBeath (Colonel Harry Maybourne)

    SG-1 is about to go on a mission to find a planet for the Enkarans when the 7th chevron doesn't lock, the problem turns out to be an energy spike caused by the second gate being active at the same time as the SGC was dialing out. The second gate is detected in Siberia, Russia where the Russians obviously found the second gate, which crashed in the Pacific Ocean in Nemesis. Because the USAF hasn't swept the whole Pacific Ocean, the Russians had found it.

    SG-1 heads to Russia by plane where they have to jump out of a plane because it's too frozen down there. En route they are met by a Russian doctor named Dr. Markov who will take them to the Russian Stargate Center, which was an old power station.

    When they arrive they find that the stargate is stuck on and drawing energy from the contacted planet (Like the black hole incident which she knew about) The Russians would use precise timing to prevent the SGC from knowing about it, the gate is dialed to a planet completely underwater (The 8th planet they planned to go to), They had the real Earth DHD which was confiscated by the Germans in WW2 from Giza. The last sub brought back a sample of the water but as it returned to Earth it experienced difficulty getting through, but the doctor thought it was something designed to keep water from entering the gate. The water had amazing properties, it generates heat just a few degrees above room temperature.

    In the gate room they find scientists and some personnel dead, they had shot the scientists. The Russians already sent a drone through and it may be the reason the gate is still on - it is and they couldn't just wait for it to run out of power because it was nuclear powered which would last for an estimated 10 Years (it's nuclear powered because they thought of leaving them there for further research) so Carter, Daniel and Dr. Markov go through to get the drone and de-activate it.

    After they succeed in de-activating the drone the gate shuts off. O'Neill and Teal'c take a look around and find Colonel Maybourne frozen in a freezer - they put him on a table and a few moments later he wakes up and starts walking forward and barfed out some watery substance.

    The water enters Teal'c who then dials to the planet and coughs out the substance. Meanwhile, in the sub, the engines burn out because of some resistance. It turns out that Col. Maybourne is the reason the Russians learned to use the gate so quickly. He explains that the dead personnel are because the water got inside them - the water in Maybourne took him in the freezer to keep him (and the water) alive.

    Markov fixes the engines but they still can't move because the pressure in the water is rising all of a sudden - the glass cracks and then the whole window cracks but the water doesn't rush in, it just stays outside. Daniel touches it but then it sucks him in and then the Doctor and Carter.

    On Earth the gate activates and Sam, Daniel and the doctor are returned to the base in Russia and the water at the base returns to its homeworld.

Before he can bring back his sample however, his team is attacked by an Unas. One team member is killed and Daniel is dragged off into the wilderness by the giant primitive creature. Learning of Daniel's disappearance, O'Neill leads a rescue mission to the planet. Upon his arrival, he discovers that SG-11 has been almost wiped out - only Hawkins survived - and the planet's water supply is teeming with Goa'uld symbiotes. While O'Neill and Teal'c struggle with the possibility that one of their men may have been inhabited by a Goa'uld, Daniel is dragged further into the wilderness by his captor. Gradually, he begins to understand a few words of the creature's language. The Unas, a juvenile whose name seems to be Chaka, saves Daniel's life when he's attacked by a symbiote.

    Thanks to SG-1, a civilization known as the Enkarans have been transplanted from a Goa'uld slave planet to a safer, more hospitable world. But soon after they settle in, problems arise. One of their villages is attacked by a mysterious ship. The Enkarans seem to be facing a threat even more formidable than the Goa'uld. But when SG-1 investigates, they discover that the mystery ship has no hostile intent. It is merely terraforming the planet in order to make it habitable for the Gadmeer, a long-dormant alien species. Lotan, a bio-mechanical liaison created by the ship, explains that once the terraforming procedure has begun, it cannot be halted. To do so would mean extinction for the Gadmeer. On the other hand, a completion of the terraforming process would mean certain death for the Enkarans. SG-1 must find a solution to this ethical dilemma, or face the extinction of an entire race.

Daniel replies, "I'm glad you didn't either." They share a smile, and walk out.

    When Daniel Jackson's old archeology professor, Dr. Jordan, dies in a mysterious lab explosion, Daniel pays a return visit to his old academic stomping grounds. But as he reacquaints himself with his former colleagues, he begins to suspect that Dr. Jordan's death may not have been an accident. He discovers that one of the items the professor was studying, an ancient Egyptian jar, contains a perfectly preserved Goa'uld symbiote. Apparently, a crack in the vessel compromised the sedative solution within, killing the creature. But further investigation reveals a second jar may have existed. With a Goa'uld apparently stalking the campus and the local community abuzz with talk of an ancient curse, Daniel must unravel the mystery before it's too late.

This suggested he wanted to be left alone, but also left the door open for them to slip the battery back and be on call if truly needed.

The rest of SG-1, unaware of his fate, are dispatched to thwart a burgeoning alliance between Apophis and Heru-ur. But when they arrive at the neutral location chosen for the meeting - an ancient minefield floating in space - they discover that Heru-ur has brought along a gift to seal the deal: a battered but defiant Teal'c. SG-1 is torn. Do they try to rescue Teal'c? Or, as Jacob Carter argues, does the success of their mission outweigh the life of their friend?

    When General Hammond announces he is stepping down as head of the SGC, O'Neill suspects that there is more to his decision than he is letting on. And, as it turns out, O'Neill is right as he discovers that the NID was behind the change of command. Fed up with the general's inability to acquire alien technology through whatever means necessary, it pressured him into resigning. When Hammond's replacement breaks up SG-1 and assigns Carter the task of building a planet-killing Naquadah bomb, O'Neill takes matters into his own hands. He decides to take on the NID, but his success will rest in the hands of a most unlikely ally: Colonel Maybourne.

    Daniel recovers his son, the Hueresis. He has the memories of all the Gou'ald, which SG Command wants to obtain so that they can defeat their enemies. Daniel is given all the knowledge, but soon begins to use it in a tyrannical fashion as he usurps authority to build a ring of killer satellites capable of repelling the Gou'ald around Earth.

When SG-1 goes to the planet, they discover a hypnotic light show that not only induces memory blackouts, but alters their physiology so that they cannot leave the planet without becoming terminally depressed and ultimately dying of system shutdown. Trapped on the planet, they meet a young boy, Loran, who is apparently immune to the effects of the light system but who lost his parents. The team must figure a way to overcome the addiction or remain rapped on the planet forever.

    During a visit to the Air Force Academy, Carter makes the acquaintance of Jennifer Hailey, a promising young cadet with a rebellious streak. Carter sees great potential in her, but Jennifer seems determined to sabotage her future with the Air Force. She is fiercely independent, opinionated, and resentful of Carter to whom she is constantly being compared. On the other hand, Hailey is brilliant and Carter eventually decides to show her what she can look forward to if she stays the course - by bringing her through the Stargate. The two of them visit an offworld research base where O'Neill and Teal'c are on security detail, "babysitting" a group of ungrateful scientists. But the seemingly routine mission takes a deadly turn when they are attacked by alien life forms composed of pure energy. Trapped and cut off from the Stargate, SG-1 must make a desperate gamble to reach freedom before it's too late.

    The SGC is infected by an alien probe that downloads itself into the base computers, accessing sensitive data on the SGC and its personnel. It is detected and apparently deleted from the mainframe. Unbeknownst to all however, the entity has managed to download itself into the MALP room where it continues to thrive, building itself a new body in order to contain the immense data it has obtained. SG-1 eventually discovers the entity. O'Neill wants to destroy it, but Sam and Daniel feel they should attempt to communicate with it first. Sam tries - only to be overcome by a blast of energy. She is rushed to safety while O'Neill shuts down the entity, presumably killing it for good this time. However, the rest of SG-1 soon learns that it is far from dead. In fact, it now exists in a new vessel - one capable of storing endless bytes of data. The entity has taken over Carter's body. With the base under siege and the alien entity poised to overwhelm them all, O'Neill and company are confronted with a dire prospect: in order to save the SGC, they may well have to sacrifice one of their own.

Now, they face a vengeful Cronos determined to make them pay for their insolence. SG-1 is prepared to lead them once again, but it turns out their former allies are not so eager to answer the call to arms. After all, they were promised that if they buried their gate, they would be safe. Instead, the Goa'uld returned in ships - and the planet's inhabitants paid a terrible price. O'Neill and his team must win their confidence before they can win the battle against Cronos. Fortunately, they have help in the form of their robot duplicates, eager to assist them on this doubly-difficult mission.

Symmonds, are behind the abduction, but Symmonds claims Maybourne is responsible. It turns out Maybourne helped a rich, dying businessman, Adrian Wright, to get hold of a symbiote so that he could use it to cure himself. But he needs the medical data from Sam's body (due to the fact she was possessed by a symbiote) to make it work. The SG team tracks Sam down before they can do the necessary autopsy to get the info they need, but not before Wright has the symbiote put into his body. The symbiote/Wright is cornered by O'Neill, who is shot by Symmonds and helps the symbiote to escape. While the team thinks Maybourne shot Jack, Symmonds and symbiote/Wright begin to negotiate for the symbiote's knowledge.

The government approved the go-ahead for the show as a cover for their covert SG organization, but now the ship that Martin and his fellow aliens came in on is heading back to Earth. Jack goes undercover as a military consultant for the show, Wormhole X-Treme! ("Because shows with an "X" in the title do better in the ratings"). Martin's other aliens are after him as well, and send Sam and Daniel on a path that intersects with the NID. It turns out Martin gave himself amnesia to forget the devastation that had destroyed his home planet, and his fellow aliens want the control device back so they can take control of the pre-programmed ship when it arrives back on Earth. Jack eventually turns the control device over to the aliens, but Martin chooses to stay behind to take advantage of his newfound fame now that the show's crew have footage of the alien ship arriving.

Things go from bad to worse as their engines cut out, they all but crash, and the air leaks out. Making things even worse, they discover a store of naquata (sic) in the asteroid's core. The Gou'ald towed the asteroid into position and shoved it toward Earth. If the bomb detonates it'll ignite the naquata, causing a nova-like explosion. Meanwhile the bomb has been hit by a rock, and Jack must make a quick disarm attempt. Well past the fail safe point, they have only one option: use the wrecked cargo ship's hyperdrive to blast the entire asteroid thru Earth just before it impacts Earth.

    (This episode starts out with a "Last Time on Stargate SG-1 thing of Episode 110 Revelations)

    SG-1 heads for the Goa'uld mothership that belonged to Anubis when he kidnapped Thor and Downloaded his mind onto and is now abandoned. This mission was that alien eager-beaver Jonas Quinn's initial one with SG-1, and he had that first-time-at-Disneyland smile on his face. He'd never been in space before and waxed poetic about how thrilling it was. Teal'c agreed. So did I. Space travel is thrilling — until something goes horribly wrong. O'Neil has Major Carter, Major Davis, Dr. Freisen and himself go to the ship, Jonas is ordered to stay aboard the Cargo ship with Teal'c but he doesn't want to, he thinks he should go because he has studied every Report of SG-1 but it was because O'Neil just said that he couldn't come. Jacob has them ring aboard to check things out rather than to fly into the cargo bay to determine if the ship can be salvaged.

    When aboard they descover that the ship was indeed that which captured Thor a few months back. They also find that the ship was in Self-Destruct mode but the countdown was paused but it doesn't make sense because the countdown should have been reset not paused; there was some weird electronic whispering that was emanating from the ship's intercom system. O'Neil has Major Carter and Major Davis go to the Computer core when they find out that the door was locked and life support was shut down, Jacob opens it and regains life support. O'Neil and Dr. Freisen take a look at the engines an hyperdrive where intact. They checked out. Dr. Freisen wanted to look at the sheild generators because they must have been superior to others but because it wasn't priority O'Neil doesn't let him. Meanwhile Carter & Davis find a door that was hit by several Staff Blasts and it can't be opened even by Jacob because the circuts where fused.

    Carter calls O'Neil so he tells Freisen to head back to the helm while Jack blows down the door into the computer core to do a diagnostic to shut down the self-Destruct. What we didn't know was that there where 3 Ninja Jaffa warriors were trapped on the computer-core level and escaped when Jacob opened the door to let Carter in. Jacob later told Jack that they didn't show up on the life scanners because they were able to hibernate and slow their heartbeats by putting themselves into "kelnoreem." Who trapped them in there was still a mystery. Carter supposed that Thor had infected the ship with a virus while he was linked with it. That screwed up the systems, causing Anubis and crew to abandon ship, then ceased the self-destruct and sent the ship to Earth. The three Jaffas were just unlucky. But now the Jaffas were out and they went straight to the shield-generator room where Dr. Friesen had gone even though Jack ordered him not to. Dr. Friesen was dead. O'Neil found his body in the room. Then the Jaffa went up to the bridge and shot Jacob. They also disabled the drive controls and so the ship started towards Earth's atmosphere fast. Jack called Teal'c and told him to ring them out. But when he activated the transport rings, the Jaffas appeared on our cargo ship. Teal'c took out all three in seconds, but during the battle, the ring-transmission crystals had been destroyed. We were stuck on the mothership about to crash into the North Pacific.

    Meanwhile Teal'c & Jonas headed back to the SGC. Hammond ordered a rescue via a Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle. Teal'c and Jonas joined the effort. Jacob had raised the shields and set inertial dampening to maximum so when the ship splashed down, the ship would survive in one piece. But they were under the sea. And to make matters worse, the impact weakened the hull and the ship's lower levels were flooding, including the engineering level where Carter and Jack were. Suddenly, the security protocols locked the door on them and they were going to drown.

    Jacob tried to override the system, but no luck. Just when Jack was experiencing major shrinkage, not to mention lack of air, the doors opened and they were free.

    Carter now surmised that the virus she thought Thor left behind was Thor himself. It was his garbled voice coming over the intercom all this time. His mind took over the vessel, made the Jaffa abandon ship, stopped the self-destruct and sent Earth the mothership. Way to go, Thor!

    Teal'c and Jonas arrived in the DSRV and were ready to get them out using the escapepod tubes, but they had a big decision to make. Thor's mind was the only thing halting the self-destruct. If we separated him from the ship's mainframe so the Asgard could put his consciousness into a newly cloned body, the ship would explode. In the end, Jack decided that having the Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet owe me one was better than a mothership that would never fly again. But the next mothership we keep.

    But they weren't out of the water yet. The tubes Teal'c and Jonas used to get in through were now flooded. And now that Thor was removed the computer drive containing Thor's mind, the self-destruct was counting down. Their only hope was to take a couple of death gliders and hope they would fly underwater even though they aren't built to operate Underwater. But now there was another problem. The force field that prevents space or in this case, water from flooding the Glider bay after the hanger doors were opened was not operating (The shield is used instead of having to pressurize the compartment everytime). And Jacob couldn't fix it.

    Well, Jonas, finally proved his mettle by diving into a flooded deck to a relay panel and bypassing the circuits controlling the force field. It was on! Jonas joined them and they all got out of there, just before the ship blew to pieces.

    gs: Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) Dorian Harewood (Councillor Torin) Cliff Simon (Ba'al) Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser) Ulla Friis (Ba'al's Lotek Shallan (Woman))

    Jack is blended with a Tok'Ra who gets him captured by the Gou'ald.

Daniel Jackson in his ghostly energy state visits Jack in his head to keep him sane. It turns out that the combination of Jack with the symbiote gave it Jack's desire to rescue people...including the slave the symbiote used to gain information Ba'al. Although Daniel is apparently powerless to interfere, Teal'c comes up with the plan to alert another system lord about Ba'al's secret base and Jack takes advantage of the diversion to escape, rescue the slave, and get back to SG Command.

    On the newly contacted planet Pangera, SG-1 is offered a deal for a miracle medicine, and they eventually discover that the source is a captured Gou'ald Queen. Worse, the Pangerans don't have enough of the medicine, Tutronum, and what they have is only a temporary effect that requires continued dosage to sustain. The Tok'ra agree to help but Teal'c and Jonas discover that the captured Queen is Egeria, who created the Tok'Ra 2,000 years ago on Earth and is now on the verge of dying. The Tok'ra can't find a cure to the Tutronum and want Egeria released because of her founding status and to deal with their own problems with dying out. One of the Tok'ra, Kamel, sacrifices herself to let Egeria take over her host body and let her give voice, forgive the Pangeran for their experimentation on her, and explain her own self-corrupted genetic structure is to blame for the failure of the Pangeran cure. She gives them the solution to the problem with the Pangeran medicine and the two planets depart on good terms.

  • 121. Prometheus (1)
    gs: John de Lancie (Colonel Frank Simmons) Colin Cunningham (Major Paul Davis) Kendall Cross (Julia Donovan) George Wyner (Al Martell) Ian Tracey (Smith) Enid-Raye Adams (Jones)

    Julia Donovan, a TV reporter, confronts Major Carter and asks her about Project Prometheus. Major Carter reports to General Hammond about Donovan knowing about Prometheus, General Hammond sends Major Davis to meet the presswoman and talks with her about not releasing the info to the public, she thinks Prometheus is some sort of fusion reactor. Later at the SGC, General Hammond decides to allow them to tour the facility but O'Neil thinks it's an "insanely bad idea" but later Major Davis and Major Carter meet with the producer and then the producer agrees to give the SGC the source of their information in exchange for a tour of Prometheus.

    Major Carter and Jonas bring the crew out in the middle of the Nevada desert and bring them down to Prometheus (A.K.A. the X-303). They are amazed that it is an interstellar ship instead of a fusion reactor. The X-303 was made from the pieces of Thor's ship and some human technology. While on the tour one of the camera crew members, Smith, has a zat-gun and shoot the two guards that are with them and then they inturrupt the simulation tests to attempt to launch it into orbit. Major Carter escapes and closes a door and disables it so it can't open from the outside. Jonas hides the hyper drive crystal but the producer (who is with them) shows them where it is. The camera crew are with the NDA, Simmons' ex-department and the one Maybourne used to work with as well.

    The invaders activate the hyper drive and threaten to blow up Prometheus unless Adrian Conrad and Colonel Simmons are given to them within two hours. Colonel O'Neil arrives and they inform the base above of their demands, Carter makes a radio out of some scraps in the room and tells them that she's locked in and that the "camera crew" has taken over Prometheus.

    Carter escapes from the room by cutting a hole in the door with a plasma cutter. Colonel Simmons and Adrian Conrad are brought to the NDA rogue operatives. Conrad fixes the hyper drive and programs the coordinates into the ship. O'Neil and Teal'c fly into the ship with the death glider from Anubis. The rogue operatives meet Carter and are about to shoot her when O'Neill and Teal'c get them. Conrad turns agaisnt Simmons and gets shot - his gou'ald leaps to Simmons, who fights O'Neill and Teal'c but before he can kill Teal'c the X-303 comes out of the hyper drive tunnel and O'Neil opens the airlock causing Simmons with the gou'ald to fly out into space and die.

    They meet up with Carter and find out that the people who stole the ship found a tablet in the writing of the "Ancients" and they decoded it with the help of Conrad and all they needed was a way there. The planet was supposed to have weapons and technology on it. Carter tries to plot a course for home but can't because she has no idea where they are at. She estimates that they are at least 12,000 light years from Earth. Thor's ship appears and Thor beams aboard Prometheus - they ask Thor to get them home but Thor needs their help and their ship because the Asgard homeworld has been taken over by the Replicators.

  • Its not entirely clear which Enterprise is the target of Jack's comment. "Enterprise" was also the name of the first functional prototype Space Shuttle, just as the X-303 is the first of this particular model of ship. Although Carter's body language suggests "Enterprise" was a ridiculous name, it would be very fitting.

  • 122. Unnatural Selection (2)
    gs: Ian Buchanan (First) Tahmoh Penikett (Third) G. Patrick Currie (Fifth) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis)

    Still on the ship Prometheus, the SG-1 team is visited by Thor. He informs them that one of the Asgard planets has been overrun by Replicators that they lured there using the android replicator creator from "Menace", and the Asgard need their help to defeat the invaders. Due to temporal distortion that the Asgard engineered but the Replicators altered to their benefit, the planet has existed in its own personal time for thousands of relative years. When the team arrives they discover that the Replicators have evolved into humanoid type beings that want to mentally scan the team of all of their memories of the planets they have been to outside of the Replicators' home planet. One of the Replicators, "Fifth," offers to help Sam and the others and guard the time device that they set to freeze the Replicator's planet in temporal stasis. Not trusting Fifth, Jack and Sam betray him by setting the timer on the device to engage the stasis earlier then they told him. Fifth and the other Replicators are frozen in time as the team makes their escape in Prometheus.

    When SG-1's old "friend" Senator Kinsey is assassinated, O'Neill becomes the lead suspect with indisputable evidence against him - a surveillance camera that took his picture and the murder weapon in the lake near his cabin where he was purportedly fishing. Sam goes to the NID and teams up with an agent Barrett, while Teal'c interrogates a prisoner and Jonas deduces that the transformation devices (last seen in Foothold) were used to frame Jack. Sam and Barrett discover a conspiracy of secret businessmen that gained access to the devices at Area 51 and stole them. Revealing that Kinsey survived the attack, Sam and Barrett use his presence as a decoy - one of the conspiracy's agents sends a man transformed into Major Davis but they thwart him and Sam, hologrammatically disguised as the killer, arrests them all. Jack is cleared but Kinsey reveals that he plans to use the sympathy used by the assassination attempt, and Jack's reputation, to cement his own reputation as he makes a run for the Presidency.

    gs: Tom McBeath (Colonel Harry Maybourne) Bill Dow (Dr. Lee) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis)

    Maybourne tells Jack about a planet which was inhabited by the Furlings, he says there's a weapon there and that he has the key to get into it and he gets Jack into taking him to the planet along with SG-1. Once on the planet, he puts the key in and inserts the combination, but he doesn't do one step, he takes Carter's zat gun and shoots her and Jack, he pulls out the key, which causes the doorway to open, he jumps through and so does Jack. It turns out that there was no weapon, it was a "utopia" that Maybourne wanted to go to because he had nothing left on Earth. Maybourne assumes that they are on the other side of the planet, meanwhile, Major Carter and a team of scientists have been trying to find a way to activate the doorway again for a week, they have nothing. Jack & Maybourne find a place where the Furlings once lived. The place is abandoned now. The SGC informs the Tok'ra of the situation hoping that they would have some advice, the Tok'ra scan the planet with one of their ships for life but there is no sign of life on the planet. Jack and Maybourne search for food and water, Jack finds several dead Furlings with one of them containing a dead Goa'uld! Jack then discovers that the next day, Maybourne has taken his P-90 and escaped into the forest. Jack shoots a pig but misses and shoots Maybourne. Back on the SGC, Carter descovers that Jack and Maybourne aren't on the other side of the planet, but on the moon of the planet by watching the video and noticing that the moon isn't there anymore in the second day of the video. Maybourne shoots at Jack on the planet and even throws a gernade at him, Jack shoots Maybourne but decides to save him; the reason that the Furlings died is because the Goa'uld brought a plant through the trasporter which causes the person who ate it to go insane and die. A cargo ship sent by the Tok'ra arrives and picks them up, the Tok'ra send Maybourne to an isolated planet somewhere.

    Jonas finds the doorway into it but no way to open it. Sam fires at the doorway, which breaks it apart. Inside, Jonas finds the eye of Ra, (a gold disk with a ruby colored jewel in the center). Teal'c & some Abydonians are helping to fend off the attack by Anubis, who has arrived in orbit around Abydos. Jack orders Teal'c to fall back into the gate room; O'Neill joins them in the chamber. Jack, Teal'c & the Abydonians fire at the Jaffa attacking them, Skaara gets shot with a staff weapon, they couldn't defeat them so they fled into the chamber - there they encounter Anubis's Jaffa, O'Neill wants to blow up the eye with C-4, but before he does, the Jaffa corner them into the secret room, Jack threatens to blow up the Eye if they attack - he'll give them the Eye if they promise SG-1 to leave safely. Her'ak, Anubis's first prime, goes to consult Anubis, who tells him to tell SG-1 to either get the Eye or be destroyed by Anubis. Her'ak tells that to SG-1 - Daniel has Anubis promise that if he gets the Eye, he will not destroy Abydos, Lord Yu's motherships arrive in orbit around Abydos - they threaten to destroy him if Yu doesn't get the Eye. Anubis promises Daniel.

    The team surrenders the Eye to Anubis because Daniel told them so, but surprisingly, the Jaffa don't kill SG-1, they just leave.

    Anubis destroys Lord Yu's motherships, then Daniel fights him but fails, Anubis fires a laser-like beam at the Great Pyramid on Abydos, Jack hears the destruction, but he goes through the gate just before the temple is destroyed. Carter does a system diagnostic on the gate; she finds out that there was a massive energy surge that went through the gate after Jack came through.

    Carter redials Abydos, but the gate won't lock onto Abydos. She tries again and this time it works! General Hammond gives permission for SG-1 to go to Abydos. There they find everything intact, including the pyramid. The team goes to the village and there they find Skaara and all the other Abydonians all right - Oma Desala saved them. Then, the pyramid & the temple disappear; the gate will remain until they leave.

    NOTE: Season 6 finale.
  • It is revealed in this episode that the Others, the ascended beings like Daniel and Oma Desala, are actually the Ancients, the race that created the stargates. They ascended from human form to avoid a plague sweeping the galaxy.
  • Aired Feb 19th in UK
  • The pyramid model used in the Great Pyramid explosion cost $100,000 to build.
  • Director's cameo: Martin Wood is a technician in the control room.
  • The Eye of Ra was mentioned and shown in the original Stargate movie.
  • Since this could have very well been the last episode of the series, it seems appropriate to mention that Gary Jones (Sgt. Walter Davis), Alexis Cruz (Skaara) and Sean Amsing (Tobay) are the only actors, besides the regulars, to appear in both this episode and 'Children of the Gods.'
  • Anubis' Peltak is a redress of the cargo ship set.

    gs: Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) Corin Nemec (Jonas Quinn) George Touliatos (Shamda) Kevan Ohtsji (Oshu) David Palffy (Anubis) Michael Adamthwaite (Her'ak)

    Jonas works on the location of the City of the Lost and gets a fix on a planet – when they go there, they find locals who have taken in an amnesiac Daniel Jackson. They bring him back to SGC and get reports that Anubis is triumphing with the Eye that Jack turned over to him (in Full Circle). Daniel determines the planet isn't the location of the Lost City that pre-amnesiac Daniel said they needed, much to the team's dismay.

    They finally come up with a plan: Jonas and Daniel create a fake tablet to lure in Anubis while Jack and Sam fly the F-302 through Anubis' shields via hyperdrive and destroy his crystal power core via a power shaft, then call in Lord Yu. Jonas and Daniel sneak on board Anubis' ship via teleport-rings to access the computers and get the shaft's location. Things go awry when Yu backs out (taking Teal'c prisoner) and Anubis figures out it's a trap and targets the planet's Stargate. Jack and Sam get the info and destroy the power core in the nick of time but Jonas gets captured and Anubis uses the mind-probe to find out about Quinn's home planet of Kelowna and goes there to obtain its Naquadria.

    Kelowna asks SGC for assistance from Anubis' attack, while Yu's First prime reveals to a captive Teal'c that the System Lord is going slowly insane due to his age and constant use of the healing sarcophagus. Teal'c convinces the First prime to contact System Lord Ba'al. Sam and Jack travel to Kelowna and discover Anubis has the Naquadria and is moving on their main base to acquire their Stargate. Daniel tries to free Jonas while Jack and Sam convince the Kelownans and their enemies Tyrania and Andari to combine forces to accept Ba'al's help.

    Anubis' forces try to recover Kelowna artifacts that are crystals with data on the Naquadria project to bring it up to speed. Teal'c and Sam get there just as Anubis' Jaffa do and get captured.just as Jonas and Daniel use the teleport-rings to arrive and free them. However, Commander Hale of Kelowna sells everyone out to Anubis and gives him the crystal, then gets killed. Ba'al arrives in the nick of time to cause a distraction so SG-1 gets the crystal back – Anubis and his First, Her'ak, escape as the System Lord's pyramid-ship is destroyed. Quinn is invited back to Kelowna to act as a diplomatic representative with Tyrania and Andari and accepts.

    NOTE: Corin Nemec remains listed as a guest-star.
  • The scenes with the Goa'uld mother ships flying in hyperspace are actually stock footage from the season 2 episode The Serpent's Lair.
  • The scenes with Anubis' ship over Kelowna are a tribute to Independence Day.
  • Though 'Homecoming' is the only season seven episode in which he actually appears, Baal does play a major off-screen role in 'Orpheus', 'Avenger 2.0' and 'Fallout'
  • Yu is the oldest of the (current) system lords. In this episode we first learn that Yu's health is declining and we learn more about this later at the start of season 8.
  • Syndication air date: September 18, 2004.
  • Significant parts of this episode refer to the original Star Wars trilogy. The "core" of Anubis's weapon is similar to the core of the second Death Star. Some of the scenes of the F-302 attacking the ship are very reminiscent of the attack on the original death star. Anubis is dressed in a black cloak, with his face hidden, as was Palpatine in Return of the Jedi. A fleet of ships waits to attack an enemy "super weapon" while a small team (Jack and Carter) tries to make the attack feasible (in Return of the Jedi, the rebels must stop the shield generator).

    A Jaffa-centric episode, and it's not a good day for the ones who like the Tauri. Teal'c's son Rya'c and Bra'tac are prisoners at a Jaffa death camp. SG-1, however, will not let their friends meet a lethal end and are determined to rescue them. Along the way, Teal'c becomes a prisoner and his fate looks very precarious.

    gs: Christopher Heyerdahl (Pallan) Peter LaCroix (Kendrick) Tiffany Knight (Evalla) Liam Ranger (Nevin) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis)

    On the toxic planet P3X-289, SGC finds an electric field screening a inhabitable area and SG-1 goes to investigate. They meet a boy, Nevin, who leads them to his village where his father and the others use a mental Link to tie into a central computer. The team stays with the locals, unaware that one of the councilwomen they met has quietly left . . . and no one but they remember her. Sam notices lowering power values but the computer records don't show it and her technician friend Pallan doesn't remember it either – by her calculations the dome will fail in a short while and everyone will die. The team offers the natives the chances to leave but most are reluctant to accept – Nevin and his father Kendrick first accept their invitation but then abruptly change their mind, and are convinced removing the link causes instant death. Daniels finds papers showing over 100,000 people once lived in the dome, and the protective field is shrinking – the computer has been slowly commanding them to leave the dome and die over the years so as to conserve its diminishing energy. They convince Pallan to help them as the computer programs the other townsfolk to attack SG-1. Sam and Pallan reprogram the computer just in time and the villagers evacuate.

    b: 11-Jul-2003 pc: 705 w: Joseph Mallozzi & Paul Mullie d: Martin Wood

    NOTE: This episode is somewhat similar to the season 2 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode Shadowplay.
  • This episodes also shares some elements with The Outer Limits episode "Stream of Consciousness." In that episode, there is a neural link to a computer database that ends up controlling the users. I believe that SG-1 is using the same temple implants that were used in The Outher Limits.

  • 138. Lifeboat
    gs: Travis Wester (Tryan) James Parks (Pharrin) Gary Jones (Technician/Sgt. Walter Davis) Kimberly Unger (Infirmary Nurse) Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser)

    The team discover a ship on planet P2A-347 containing cylinders holding people in suspended animation. Glowing energy knocks out the team, and Teal'c manages to get them back through the gate. Daniel wakes up and acts erratically as if he were another person (Martice of Talthus, a sovereign ruler), and Fraiser shows him having the EKGs of a dozen individuals. O'Neill and Carter wake up and Jackson eventually switches to the personality of the chief engineer, Tryan, who is more reasonable and explains they merged consciousnesses with Daniel and can't be separated, or returned to their now-dead bodies. They and two other evacuation ships fled their planet Ardena when a black star caused a solar flare, the ship crashed, and its power loss endanger the sleepers. Teal'c believes someone emerged and forced the merger with Daniel.

    Teal'c and Sam discover a survivor, Pharrin, on the ship who holds the spirits of 13 other passengers, and hopes to keep them alive until the other two ships fleeing their planetary disaster arrive. Pharrin is the one who put the other spirits in Daniel and knows how to undo the process, but is understandably reluctant since the removal will kill the spirits, including his son. SGC refuses to grant the power to save the ship unless Pharrin restoes Daniel, and Martice orders Pharrin to stand down. Jack persuades Pharrin to ignore Martice, and Fraiser puts them back in suspended animation while they restore power to the ship to revive them fully.

    While on a survey of an abandoned Naqahdah mine on P3X-403 one of Colonel Edwards' men, Lt. Ritter, goes missing. SG-1 arrives to help in the search and find Ritter dead - left as a warning by the locals. Meanwhile, Daniel finds evidence of Unas living on the planet. The Unas want the "Umans" (i.e. humans) to leave their home alone. The humans want to mine the rich deposit of naquadah they have just discovered.

    Daniel calls in his old buddy, Chaka, to help him negotiate with the local Unas leader, who Daniel nicknames Iron Shirt for the Jaffa armor he wears. The mine is where the Unas slaves were worked to death and they consider it holy ground. Complicating matters, Edwards and his team find a huge deposit of naquadah - Earth military has no intent of abandoning the planet. It's a tense situation and negotiations break down as an Unas is mistakenly killed by a soldier who believes he is about to be attacked. The Unas horde prepare to attack but their leader offer to let them surrender if they drop to the ground. Despite Edwards' objections, they eventually do and the leader agrees to negotiate. The Unas agree to work the mine for Earth and give the naqahdah to them.

    SG-1 is negotiating with the Hebridans (from "Forsaken") who have high tech that SGC is interested in procuring. Carter volunteers to help the Serrakin pilot they rescued previously, Warrick, and supply a naqadah generator in return for getting a chance to unofficially study their technology. While Carter and Warrick go off on the race, Teal'c and Warrick's brother Eamon monitor the ship as it suffers apparent sabotage along the dangerous "Loop." Teal'c and Eamon go off to investigate and discover that Eamon's boss Tynan has rigged the race. They get captured while Sam and Warrick rescue another pilot, Jarlath, and discover that sabotage is rampant - the saboteurs are humans wanting to make sure their kind win. Tynan threatens to kill his prisoners if the ship doesn't slow, but Jack and Daniel free them and with Jarlath's help they keep the favored human ship from winning.

    b: 01-Aug-2003 pc: 708 w: Damian Kindler d: Andy Mikita

    NOTE: Alex Zahara takes on the role of Warrick, who was played by Dion Johnstone in "Forsaken." This marks Zahara's sixth different character that he has played on Stargate, usually under make-up. It's also the second week in a row that someone else has taken over a role originally played by Dion Johnstone. G. Patrick Currie, who plays Eamon in this episode, took over Johnstone's role as Chaka in the previous week's "Enemy Mine." Presumably Johnstone is off filming somewhere and was unavailable.
  • Hebridan has been designated P4X-131.
  • This is the 140th episode of the series which surpasses the total (139 episode) run 'MacGyver' (although Richard Dean Anderson's 140th episode is actually the next episode 'Avenger 2.0' since he did not appear in 'Nightwalkers.')

    gs: Patrick McKenna (Jay Felger) Jocelyne Loewen (Chloe) Gary Jones (Master Sergeant Walter Davis)

    While Teal'c and O'Neill are off with some Jaffa and Daniel is helping the natives on a geologically unstable planet, Dr. Jay Felger (from "The Other Guys") has managed to piss off Hammond after blowing the base's power out while testing a new plasma cannon. Felger promises to come up with a new device in 24 hours and comes up with Avenger, a computer virus that can shut down any Stargate in the network. With Carter's backing, Hammond agrees and Felger targets a stargate on a mining world owned by Ba'al. But the virus triggers a network-wide collapse of all the stargates, trapping Daniel in the middle of a flood and Teal'c and O'Neill in a firefight. Ba'al launches a series of attacks on his rival System Lords, taking advantage of the gate shutdowns.

    Carter and Felger try to upload the original coordinates from the SGC computer but fail, and realize they have to go to the planet where the virus was originally loaded - Ba'al's world. Carter and Felger travel there and realize Ba'al modified the virus and Felger didn't screw things up. Felger works to rewrite Ba'al's rewrite of Avenger and Carter tries to hold off the encroaching Jaffa. Fortunately, O'Neill and Teal'c show up in the nick of time in an Alkesh fighter - Felger is successful and gets to dream of Carter and his assistant Chloe fighting over him in a wrestling contest.

It turns out the System Lord Moloch kills the women, the Ha'ktyl, so they rebel, but require the symbiotes to keep their female children alive when they reach puberty. Sam offers the women tretonin and Teal'c convinces their leader and priestess, Ishar, but others are skeptical. A group of the women volunteer for treatment at SGC while Teal'c and Daniel remain behind and Teal'c and Ishar grow closer. One of the test subjects rejects the treatment and dies, causing Ishar to take Teal'c and Daniel hostage as her people go out to get more symbiotes from Moloch's symbiotes. Ishar has a change of heart and her rebellious lieutenant Neath is badly wounded, but is persuaded to take the tretonin treatment by her sister Nesa.

    NOTE: First aired in UK on February 24th 2004

But instead he finds out that he is going to become the commander of the Prometheus. Teal'c goes back to Chulak with Bra'tac to recruit rebel warriors and hopefully get some ships to defend Earth from Anubis in the case that Jack dies and they don't find any weapons in the Lost City.

    b: 12-Mar-2004 pc: 721 w: Brad Wright & Robert C. Cooper d: Martin Wood

    NOTE: The script for this episode (both parts) are based on the script for the film Stargate 2.
  • There are a number of references to The Simpsons in this episode. While the four team members are conversing at his house, Jack comes in with, "iI's the perfect analogy: Burns as Goa'uld." One can only assume he is referring to Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. In fact in a previous scene Jack even delivers a Burns-esque "excellent" when talking about, of all things, doughnuts.
  • In the opening scene it appears as though the word Jack has written in the crossword for 1 Down is "FCUKTEO". (Take that whatever way you want) The rest of the crossword is riddled with misspellings, like "TULIPP*". (5th row, across, last letter blank) Furthermore Sam's comment in a later scene is accurate; Jack did indeed write "FAT" as the answer to 23 across, "the atomic weight of Boron."
  • Jack says his favorite show is on in half an hour. The next day he says that the invasion in 3 days is a Thursday. Therefore, Jack's favorite show airs on Sunday. That plus many other references, let us determine that Jack's favorite show is in fact The Simpsons. Anderson's favorite show is The Simpsons as well (http://www.sci-fi-online.50megs.com/Interview/RD_Anderson.htm).
  • The President's visitor, Bonnie, is Bonnie Arbuthnot, a development director in Chicago who won the SciFi Channel's "Get in the 'Gate'" contest for a walk-on role as a White House staffer.
  • Ron Blecker, one of the SG-3 airmen, is the show's military consultant/advisor - this is his first credited appearance in front of the camera.
  • This episode (both parts) is the only time that Jessica Steen appears as Dr. Elizabeth Weir. Actress Torri Higginson plays the role in the eighth season opener, "New Order," and in 'Stargate: Atlantis.'
  • Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O'Neill) and William Devane (President Henry Hayes) previously appeared in the "Battle of the Network Stars" episode "Special #16" together.
  • When originally televised, "Lost City, pt.1" and "Lost City, pt.2" were aired as separate episodes, the second part airing the week after the first. Each episode had its own opening and closing credits, guest stars listed, writers and title. When placed on the DVD, these episodes were edited into one episode approximately an hour and a half in length, under the sole title "Lost City".

  • 154. Lost City (2)
    gs: William Devane (President Henry Hayes) Jessica Steen (Dr. Elizabeth Weir) Tony Amendola (Bra'tac) James McDaniel (General Francis Maynard) Marc Worden (Ronan) David Palffy (Anubis) Michael Adamthwaite (Her'ak) Ingrid Kavelaars (Major Erin Gant) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis) John Jumper (Himself (General John Jumper)) Ronny Cox (Vice-President Robert Kinsey)

    It starts with Jack doing another crossword but its not really a crossword in the questions Jack reveals the location of the Lost City. (They go to the planet and discover that it isn't the real Lost City but it helps them find the real one. Which is on Earth and and they find it near the other Stargate in Antarctica. They have to melt a mile of ice to get to it though. but while they are doing that above them is the biggest battle in Stargate history against the X-303, X-302's and the fleet of Anubis. When they reach the Lost City they use the technology and its more like a zillion ghosts but destructive ghosts that destroy Anubis and his fleet. Jack almost dies and he freezes himself in the Lost City.

    b: 19-Mar-2004 pc: 722 w: Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper d: Martin Wood

    NOTE: The seventh season is the only one in which Peter Williams (Apophis) and Tom McBeath (Maybourne) don't appear, not including clips from previous episodes.
  • Marc Worden (Ronan) also played Worf's son, Alexander, in two episodes of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
  • First aired in the U.K on March 9th
  • O'Neill is left in a regeneration chamber in the depths of Atlantis.
  • This episode marks the death of Anubis and the complete destruction of his fleet.
  • The Lost City they discover is NOT "The Lost City of the Ancients".
  • Not only does Russia, China, France and Great Britain know about the Stargate, we find out Canada does to.
  • The complex below the ice at Antarctica is not Atlantis, just an outpost of the Ancients. Carter says at the end that they have yet to find the lost city.
  • There is a possible reference to MacGyver in this episode. In the scene where Teal'c finds Jack modifying the ring system on the ship, Jack appears to be arc welding using alligator clamps hooked to a car battery. A similar trick was used in the first season MacGyver episode "Trumbo's World," where Mac (Richard Dean Anderson) uses a car battery and a coin in the teeth of one of the alligator clamps.
  • As of this episode, SG-1 has killed ten major Goa'uld, they are, in order: Ra, Hathor, Seth, Sokar, Heru'ur, Cronus, Apophis, Nirrti (technically killed by one of the aliens in "Metamorphosis"), Osiris (actually imprisoned after removal from Sarah, but definitely majorly indisposed), and Anubis.
  • General Hammond becomes the temporary commander of the Prometheus, but is no longer a main character in the series.
  • Besides Apophis and Maybourne, other recurring characters/species who do not appear in Season Seven (excluding clips from previous episodes) are: Major Davis, Colonel Chekov, Major Pierce, the Replicators and the Ascended/Ancients.
  • The "Stargate Atlantis" pilot reviles that Atlantis was once at the spot of the outpost till it took off for the Pegasus Galaxy.
  • When originally televised, "Lost City, pt.1" and "Lost City, pt.2" were aired as separate episodes, the second part airing the week after the first. Each episode had its own opening and closing credits, guest stars listed, writers and title. When placed on the DVD, these episodes were edited into one episode approximately an hour and a half in length, under the sole title "Lost City".
  • All of the characters mentioned here as not appearing in Season Seven all later returned in Season Eight.
  • This episode marks the death of Her'ak (Michael Adamthwaite).

    b: 09-Jul-2004 pc: 801 w: Joseph Mallozzi & Paul Mullie d: Andy Mikita

    NOTE: As of season eight, Yu is the longest-running Goa'uld recurring character. He first appeared in the season three episode 'Fair Game' and is the only major Goa'uld from that point who is still alive.
  • This episode shares many connections/similarities to the third season episode 'Fair Game': in both episodes, three of the System Lord, one of whom is Yu, visit Earth, Sam gets a promotion, the Asgard play a large part as do the Replicators, who were first hinted to 'Fair Game', and both episodes first aired on 9 July (in 1999 and 2004 respectively).
  • Steve Bacic previously played Major Coburn in 'Maternal Instinct' and 'The First Ones.' He also playes Gaheris Rhade and his descendant, Telemachus, on 'Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda'
  • This episode marks the debut of Torri Higginson as Dr. Elizabeth Weir. She takes over the role from Jessica Steen, who played the character in the seventh season finale, "The Lost City."
  • As the season premiere on SciFi USA, this episode and the next one, New Order (2), aired as a single two-hour "event" and were preceded by a "Making of..." hour-long feature on the series and its spinoff, Stargate: Atlantis. For subsequent repeats the episodes were divided with pre- and post-credits for both.
  • All guest cast and co-stars are listed for both episodes, although some only appear in one part or the other.
  • Slightly new footage in the opening credits, including Christopher Judge's cast picture showing him with his new ‘do. Don S. Davis also no longer appears in the credits.

  • Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge and Gary Jones are the only actors to appear in all eight season premieres.
  • Kira Clavell (Amateratsu) auditioned for the role of Teyla Emmagen in "Stargate: Atlantis".
  • At some point in this season, they change Walter Davis's name to Walter Harriman for an unknown reason. There are rumors that his name was changed to avoid confusion with Major Paul Davis but remains uncertain. You can tell by looking at his nametag, it changes from having 2 words (Walter Davis) on the top line to having 1 long word (Harriman) on the top line.
  • Richard Dean Anderson (Jack O'Neill) does not appear in this episode.
  • The reason for Harriman's name change is due to the fact that there is a Walter Davis in the USAF.

    b: 30-Jul-2004 pc: 804 w: Robert C. Cooper d: Peter F. Woeste

    NOTE: The bald gate technician at the end working where Walter usually does, seen when Col. Carter and SG-1 are coming through the Gate, is Pierre Bernard, a graphics designer for the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show. He got the cameo on SG-1 after a rant on Late Night where he said the show was better without Daniel Jackson. The Stargate people saw it and offered him the cameo. A behind-the-scenes look at the filming of his part was later shown during the summer on Late Night.
  • Colonel Rundell, who appeared in the seventh season episodes "Heroes Pts. 1 & 2", is mentioned in this episode.

    NOTE: Both the rebels and the Protectorate troops are armed with real 20th century weapons from Earth, such as AK-47s etc. The weapon the rebel leader is holding in the end is a WWII Russian PPSh41 for example.
  • Matthew Bennett (Jared Kane) previously played Ted, one of Tanner's men, in 'Point of No Return'.

  • 160. Avatar
    gs: Bill Dow (Dr. Lee) Andrew Airlie (Dr. Carmichael) Gary Jones (Technician/Sergeant Walter Davis)

    The SGC experiment with a virtual reality chair from the Gamekeeper's world (season 2), but Teal'c becomes trapped in a virtual loop against an undefeatable batch of Anubis drones.

    b: 13-Aug-2004 pc: 806 w: Damian Kindler d: Martin Wood

    NOTE: Amanda Tapping was in an episode of The X-Files named Avatar.
  • Due to (presumably) the excessive violence, this episode was rated TV-14V instead of TV-PG.
  • Andrew Airle (Dr. Carmichael) previously played the Orbanian Kalan in the season three episode, 'Learning Curve.'
  • Sam asks Teal'c if he's ever played Doom (an early first person shooter for the PC), to which he replies "I play Def Jam Vendetta". In Def Jam Vendetta (a fighting game for PS2, Xbox and GameCube), Christopher Judge (Teal'c) voices D-Mob, the main villian in the game.
  • The computer graphics in this episode were done by Sydney-based Perception, the same company who is currently working on the first officially licensed Stargate SG-1 video game that is due out on the PC, XBox and PS2 late 2005.

    b: 20-Aug-2004 pc: 807 w: Peter DeLuise d: Peter DeLuise

    NOTE: Peter Bryant previously played Fro'tak in the second season episode "Family".
  • The sound and light coming from the transportation escape of The Trust is very similar to Asgard technology...
  • The two Trust members are not specifically identified on screen (although their names are mentioned), but according to the credits the bald guy is Hoskins and the one who meets Daniel in the park is Jennings.
  • On the initial airing the end credits were cut off and the show led off directly into the next episode of Stargate: Atlantis.
  • According to Joseph Malozzi, this episode aired out of order. It should have aired after Covenant; it is in Covenant that we learn about The Trust and who they are, as Daniel already seems to know about them here.

  • 162. Covenant
    gs: Charles Shaughnessy (Alec Colson) Tom O'Brien (Brian Vogler) Kendall Cross (Julia Donovan)

The Trust also tries to silence him.

    b: 27-Aug-2004 pc: 808 w: Ron Wilkerson & Robert C. Cooper s: Ron Wilkerson d: Martin Wood

    NOTE: The original character name of Alec Colson was Andrew Colson. This was also the name of a character in the pilot episode of 'MacGyver', which of course also starred Richard Dean Anderson. Colson was played by Dana Elcar, who would play Peter Thornton, MacGyver's boss, on the series.
  • Alec is introduced to a character named 'Shefield' when he goes off-world. The actor who plays Alec also played a character named Maxwell Sheffield on The Nanny.
  • It is confirmed here that Kinsey is no longer Vice-President.
  • Since this episode was supposed to air before Affinity, there is a bit of dialogue added of Sam telling Colson about the Trust before Volger confesses, even though in the original script when this was to air before Affinity, no such dialogue was included.
  • The Colson Industries logo is the Sci-Fi Channel logo, inverted and upside down.
  • Chronologically, this episode takes place five months since the battle over Anarctica (in "Lost City", pt. 2).

  • 163. Sacrifices

    b: 28-Jan-2005 pc: 812 w: Damian Kindler d: Andy Mikita

    NOTE: Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter) and Christopher Judge (Teal'c) do not appear in this episode. As of now, there is no one who has appeared in every episode of the series as, prior to this episode, Tapping and Judge both held that distinction.
  • Originally aired in the UK on the 21st of December 2004.
  • Gary Jones character's name is confirmed to be Walter Harriman.
  • This episode presumably is set at the same time as "Gemini" (this would explain Teal'c and Carter's absence). While Daniel was asking to go on the Prometheus to Atlantis, Teal'c and Carter were dealing with the Replicarter on the alpha site.
  • This is the second time Claudia Black is in glossy black armor, the first was in the pilot episode of "Farscape", when she knocked John Crichton to the ground and straddled his waist before removing her helmet.

    The planet that Harry Maybourne was relocated to by the Tok'ra is targeted by a System Lord and SG-1 must go to rescue him. They discover that Harry has made himself king using knowledge of the Ancients...knowledge that may give them access to the Ancients' time-travel technology.

  • Jack goes off-world again for the first time since "New Order".

    b: 11-Feb-2005 pc: 814 w: Joseph Mallozzi & Paul Mulli d: Andy Mikita

    NOTE: The van they're driving says Mikita Couriers on the side of it - an in-joke reference to director Andy Mikita.
  • Originally aired in the UK on the 11th of January 2005.
  • Gary Jones (Sgt. Walter Davis/Harriman) and Lucas Wolf (Jennings) are the only actors, besides the regulars, to appear in all three episodes in the Trust trilogy ("Affinity", "Endgame" and "Full Alert").
  • This is the seventy-sixth appearance of Gary Jones (Sgt. Walter Davis/Harriman) on the series. As of this episode, he has appeared in more episodes than any other guest star. Prior to this episode, Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser) held that distinction.
  • At the beginning, Jack talks with somebody named Andy on the phone....An inside joke to the director.

  • 169. Citizen Joe

    NOTE: It is revealed with this episode that Jack has been seeing the life of Joe for the past seven years.
  • Many references are made to the Simpsons again in this epidode as they were in "Lost City, pt. 1" (Season 7). The Simpsons is confirmed as Jack's favorite show, and Joe (Dan Castellaneta - Homer and others on The Simpsons) agrees with Jack's statement from "Lost City, pt. 1" by saying "Between you and me, I totally see the analogy. Burns as Goa'uld."
  • Originally aired in the UK on the 18th of January 2005.
  • Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec) is mentioned in this episode for the first time since "Death Knell".
  • Jack reveals that Hammond thinks that Apophis isn't dead because that scene took place sometime after "Serpents Lair", but before we found out Apophis was still alive. It's got nothing to with "Moebius".
  • It is a clip show, but it probably isn't done for saving money. This one used new sets (Joe's house and work), and heaps of new characters. [Editor's note: Clip shows HAVE featured new sets before so it MAY have been done to save money, just watch "Disclosure" in season 6, they have new sets and characters there as well.]
  • Amanda Tapping (Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter) is clearly pregnant here and wearing long shirts/black tops on black chairs...etc
  • Excerpts Written by Robert C. Cooper James Crocker (Within the Serpent's Grasp (2)) Peter DeLuise Jonathan Glassner V.C. James Damian Kindler Joseph Mallozzi (Wormhole X-Treme! ...excerpt on Joe's tv) Paul Mullie (Wormhole X-Treme! ...excerpt on Joe's tv) Brad Wright (Within the Serpent's Grasp (2), 1969) In this episode, we learn that Wormhole X-Treme! was canceled after a episode because of low ratings.
