Episode 5/ The First Commandment

SG-1 go on what they think is a rescue mission to find SG-9. Problem is SG-9 and its leader Hanson don't want rescuing - they have set themselves up as gods to the primitive people of the planet. When they become aware that the SGC has sent SG1 to stop them, they decide kill them aswel. However, the SG1 has other plans.

The planet has a very intolerable surface during the daytime and all the people of the planet live in caves and only come out during night when they are safe from the effects of the sun. However, as self-proclaimed gods Hanson decides that they aren't working fast enough and they force them to work in the day time which can be fatal to them. When Sam tries to talk to them she fails and becomes a captive of Captain Hanson. There is however an alien device on the planet which when activated would protect the villages from the harmful effects of the sun.

Episode 6/ Cold Lazarus

O'Neill is duplicated by a crystalline entity which returns to Earth with the rest of the team who are unaware of the duplication. The entity just wanted to help Jack with his pain not realising the pain came from the death of his son and was emotional and not physical.

Episode 9/ Thor's Hammer

In their search for allies against the Goa'uld, SG-1 go to Cimmeria - a planet Teal'c tells them Goa'uld avoid. Cimmeria is the home world of the legendary Norse Gods.

During their fight for freedom from the labyrinth in which they are trapped, Teal'c and O'Neill must fight an Unas - one of the original hosts of the Goa'uld.

They find that the planet is protected by a device called the "Thors Hammer". The device senses a symbiote and transports them to the labyrinth. At the end of the labyrinth is another which can kill the symbiote without harming the host body, however for a Jaffa to live he must have a symbiote. As long as its active, Teal'c cannot leave without getting killed.

When they find him they they realise he has made a remarkable discovery during his time alone.

Episode 11/ Bloodlines

Teal'c has a family, a wife and son that he left on Chulak when he joined SG-1. He was worried SGC wouldn't believe his loyalty was with them, when he first joined, if they knew he had a family, and so he kept them a secret. Now it is time for his son Rya'c to receive a Goa'uld larva, something Teal'c wants to prevent. SG-1 join him to try to capture a larva for study on Earth, and to stop Rya'c becoming a servant of the Goa'uld.

Episode 12/ Fire and Water

Returning from a mission on Oannes O'Neill, Carter and Teal'c are in a state of shock, they saw Daniel killed on the planet by fire. Really, Daniel is a captive of a creature called Nem who wants to know what happened to his mate Omoroca, the problem is she was on Earth during the Baylonian era, 4,000 years ago. Is Daniel's Babylonian history up to the task?

Archaeologists accidentally awaken Hathor, a Goa'uld who has been asleep for a millennium. She uses a drug-like pink smoke to seduce the men and get them to help her with her plan to take over the world. The drug only works on men and so it's left to Carter, Fraiser, Teal'c (who's immune as he's a Jaffa) and the other women on the base to fight her.

Episode 14/ Singularity

SG-1 travel to a planet where the Goa'uld have killed everyone except a child called Cassandra. She gets taken back to Earth and Sam bonds with her, then they discover the Goa'uld have used her as a Trojan horse, and planted a bomb in her chest.

SG-1 travel to a world Teal'c has been to before, when he was First Prime to Apophis. Teal'c is put on trial for his past, whilst the rest of SG-1 convince the inhabitants that Teal'c has changed.
However, things don't look to good and it seems that Teal'c will be found guilty. Jack goes to the SGC to ask for a team which would help them save Teal'c however the request is denied so Jack goes to save Teal'c with the rest of his team.

However, when they return to the planet, all is not right, as they soon discover Jaffa are now present on the planet. SG1 help fend of the Jaffa but will that help convince the villages that Teal'c has changed for good?

SG-1 rescue some people from a technologically advanced race (The Tollan) who are not prepared to share their technology with Earth, as they consider Earth is not advanced enough to handle it responsibly. Military intelligence seem to be trying to prove them right by trying to coerce them into helping build advanced weapons. It's up to SG-1 to help the Tollans relocate to a safer place, and save Earth from the folly of military intelligence

Episode 17/ Solitudes

Due to an explosion as the SG-1 team are going through the gate it malfuntions and Capt Carter and Col O'Neill find themselves trapped on an icy planet. Jack's badly hurt and the DHD is in a block of ice. Can Sam get the gate to work, or can the SGC figure out what happened and rescue them, before they freeze to death.

After a routine mission when the team return to the SGC they seem different, its not until Dr Fraiser examins them that they realise the difference. They aren't human but are mechanoids. However, their memories seem to be original and they seem to have no idea how they were turned into machines.

They are just as surprised as the SGC are. Soon their power source seems to need refueling and so are sent back through the gate to realise that they aren't the original SG team but copies created by Harlan, a being who's been around 11,000 years and is lonely and created them for company, however they believed they were the original SG team and left.

He shows them the real SG1 who are asleep, at which point Teal'cs Goa'uld starts to take over the machine body. Harlan explains that there were two of them in teal'cs body and so he didn't know which one to copy. The mechanoid SG team have to destroy the mechanoid Teal'c to save their lives as the Goa'uld had taken it over completely. However, they are quick to synthesise another Teal'c with only one mind, Teal'cs.

When the real SG team are awoken they are not pleased at what Harlan did, but decide that even though the SG team contains all their memories, they won't destroy them as long as they bury the gate after they are gone. Both Harlan and the Mechanoid Jack agree.

Episode 19/ There But For the Grace of God

Dr Daniel Jackson accidentally discovers a mirror that sends him to an alternate reality. On that Earth the Goa'ulds have wiped out a large proportion of Earth's population and are just about to capture SGC. He must convince the Alternate SGC that hes a friend and to help him get back.

Episode 20/ Politics

Senator Kinsey, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee wants to close down the Stargate project. Despite Daniels warning of what happened on the alternative world, and the previous missions, he can't be convinced that it's worth the money and decides the project must be closed.

Episode 21/ Within the Serpent's Grasp

The Stargate is being closed down, but SG-1 know the Gou'ald are going to attack. They go through the gate, armed to the teeth, without authorisation to try to defeat the Goa'uld before they get to Earth.

								Season 1 Episode Guide:



		Favorite Episode w						Episode 1/ Children of the Gods (2 Parter) Colonel Jack O'Neill retired from the military a year ago after leading an expedition through the Stargate, an ancient portal which allows instantaneous travel to other galaxies. After an attack on the Cheyenne Mountain base through the Stargate, Jack is called back to duty to explain how it could have happened if they had destroyed the gate on Abydos, the world he visited through the Stargate, on his original mission. Jack confesses to not destroying the gate, and in fact, leaving Dr Daniel Jackson alive and well on Abydos with a new wife. General Hammond, who is now in charge of the Stargate, gives Jack some time to see if the attack came from Abydos. Jack is joined on the mission by Kawalski and Ferretti of the original mission, and Dr Samantha Carter who is an astrophysicist and Captain in the US Air force. On Abydos they discover Daniel is living quite happily with his wife Sha're. Skaara, the boy who took to Jack on his original mission, is very pleased to see him back. Daniel has discovered a giant cartouche covered in hieroglyphics that seem to be a map of many Stargate's throughout the galaxy. Unfortunately, while they are looking at this some aliens come through the gate and kidnap Sha're and Skaara. Many are injured in the fight with the aliens but Ferretti, despite being wounded, was able to see the hieroglyphic code the alien's entered and Jack and Daniel are determined to follow and rescue Sha're and Skaara. They return to Earth with their wounded and track the aliens to a planet known as Chulak. There are captured and put in prison with many other prisoners. There they discover Sha're is now Apophis' queen, her body having been taken over by a parasitic Goa'uld snake creature. Ra was one of these creatures. They can't save her but can they save themselves and the innocent people on the planet before they're killed by the Goa'uld guards and before General Hammond sends a nuclear bomb through the gate? (Be warned, in some version of this episode there are some scenes of nudity, where Apophis is "looking over" the women) Episode 2/ The Enemy Within The Jaffa soldiers are splattering against the protective titanium iris that SGC (Stargate Command) have installed on the Stargate to prevent unauthorised entry. However, as Jack is trying to get Teal'c (the Jaffa who helped them escape of Chulak) added as a member of his team it gradually becomes clear that the enemy they have to guard against is already in SGC, in Kawalsky. The only way to take it out is to perform an operation. At first the suspicions on how the Goa'uld got into Kawalsky go towards Teal'c and his premature symbiote, however, they realise that he is not the thread and the longer the Goa'uld stays in Kawalsky the more control it will get over him. To rid Kawalsky of the symbiote, Dr Janet Fraiser performs a surgery and removes the symbiote, however all is not well as the symbiote had already taken over his body, and what was removed was nothing but a mere shell. However, no one realises this until he attacks Teal'c at which point they have very little choice in what to do.
