Mr. Wydey’s TV Series Episode Guides Stargate SG-1 Seasons 1-10 The Stargate films This collection of notes offers a strictly personal take on the whole of the Stargate SG-1 universe, as seen on television. The reports were gathered over many years as the episodes unfolded on Sky TV as seen by a Virgin Media customer. Until the Great Disaster of 2007. As will be revealed in due course, Sky and Virgin had a falling out and they did not make up for several years. The last couple of episodes of series 10 were not made available to your reviewer until 2011!! Of course, other TV channels have picked up the torch, and although Sky continues to show SG-1 in dribs and drabs, the Pick channel allowed fans to see the whole thing right from the start on weekdays from Monday to Friday, and at the time of this edition’s publication, Pick was showing everything for a second time. As well as living on in digital TV heaven, the world of the Stargate is also available on DVD. And there are two complete fan-fiction novels in the RLC collection currently, and another is in preparation. Clyde E. Wydey, May 2018 F&F BOOKS www.FarragoBooks.co.uk All rights reserved.

S TARGATE SG-1 EPISODE GUIDE : C.E. WYDEY 1 +++ Season 1 (1997/98) +++ 101 Children of the Gods (1) Aliens come through the stargate, take a prisoner and leave their dead when they gate out again. Colonel Jack O’Neill is called out of retirement, and he admits that he did not destroy the stargate on Abydos, and Dr. Daniel Jackson is still alive and living there. O’Neill takes a team, which includes astrophysicist Captain Sam- antha Carter, to Abydos. They find Daniel, his wife Sha’re, and Skaa’ra, the lad who reminds O’Neill of his dead son. Daniel’s latest discovery is what seems to be a map of a stargate system covering the galaxy. The aliens, led Apophis, arrive on Abydos and kidnap Sha’re and Skaa’ra. O’Neill and Daniel go after them to save the prisoners. 102. Children of the Gods (2) Colonel O’Neill’s team tracks Apophis to Chulak, where Sha’re is now Apophis’ queen. She has become the host of a parasitic snake creature. The Goa’uld use life forms from around the galaxy as their hosts. The team has to abandon Sha’re, and Skaa’ra also becomes a Goa’uld host. Apophis orders the prisoners to be killed but his First Prime, the Jaffa Teal’c, responds to O’Neill’s plea for help and changes sides. As the team is escaping back to Earth, Major Kawalsky is invaded by a Goa’uld, which was hosted by a now dead Jaffa. 103 The Enemy Within The stargate has been fitted with a protective iris, which prevents bombs sent by the Goa’uld from getting through. Colonel O’Neill wants to add Teal’c to his team but General Hammond says no and Colonel Kennedy of military intelligence gets to torment Teal’c. Kawalsky has terrible headaches as the larval Goa’uld tries to take him over. The symbiote’s body is removed but it has already trans- S TARGATE SG-1 EPISODE GUIDE : C.E. WYDEY 2 ferred its consciousness to Kawalsky. He tries to escape through the stargate, after activating the auto- destruct mechanism at the SGC, but Teal’c pushes his head into the event horizon as the gate shuts down and kills him. Having proven his loyalty, Teal’c is allowed to join SG-1. 104 Emancipation SG-1 visits Simarka and meets the Shavadai, who resemble the Mon- gols of Earth. Capt. Carter, being a woman, has a really tough time and she is kidnapped by a pushy kid, who wants swap her for the daughter of a tribal leader, Turghan. The leader decides to take Carter as his wife, and when he catches his daughter trying to elope, he orders her stoned to death. Carter gets to save the girl by whupping Turghan’s ass in single combat. 105 The Broca Divide SG-1 finds a world with dark and light sides, homes of the Touched and the Untouched respectively. The Untouched resemble the Minoans on Earth. The Touched are primitives with animal instincts. On returning to Earth, SG-1 become primitives; apart from Daniel and Teal’c. And what they have brought back is contagious, forcing General Hammond to order a lockdown of the SGC. Dr. Fraiser is also immune and she realizes that both she and Daniel are taking anti-histamines; which can be used to cure both the people at the SGC and the aliens who host the virus. 106 The First Commandment SG-1 finds that Capt. Hanson of SG-9 has gone mad and set himself up as a god on an alien planet where the UV radiation is so strong that no one can survive outdoors in the daytime. But he is forcing the inhabitants to rebuild Goa’uld temples and condemning dissenters to death by radiation exposure. Hanson is a discarded boyfriend of Sam’s but she can’t influence him. But Daniel discover two shield generators left by the Goa’uld, which will give the valley where everyone lives protection from the S TARGATE SG-1 EPISODE GUIDE : C.E. WYDEY 3 sun. Switching them on proves that Hanson’s powers are due to tech- nology, not divinity. 107 Cold Lazarus The team visits a planet with a bright blue sky, yellow sand and deposits of what look like huge copper sulphate crystals; which are alive. They were blasted by Goa’uld weapons and one of them creates another O’Neill out of energy when he touches it. Fearing that the Earthers will destroy them, the crystals think restoring O’Neill’s son will save them. Only the kid is dead; he shot himself with O’Neill’s gun; and the Colonel has to come to terms with his son’s death and his ex-wife’s unhappiness about the way he treated her. And, of course, the crystals have nothing to fear from the Earthers. 108 The Nox Pressed by the government to acquire new technologies, SG-1 is led to a world inhabited by a seemingly primitive race. Teal’c says there is a flying creature which can make itself invisible on the planet. When Apophis arrives, SG-1 ambush him with disastrous conse- quences. Everyone is killed but the Nox, a bunch of straw-haired forest dwellers led by Quark of Deep Space 9/Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s head- master, bring them back to life. And they turn out to have more technology than the Goa’uld and the Earthers combined! 109 Brief Candle SG-1 visits a world where the life span is 100 days and Daniel delivers a baby. O’Neill gets friendly with Kynthia and starts ageing at a terrific rate! Capt. Carter learns that he is carrying nanocyte robots in his blood stream. They were inflicted on the people of Argos as an experiment by Pelops, their Goa’uld god. Carter has to work out how to turn the nanocytes off before O’Neill is history! 110 Thor’s Hammer Teal’c and O’Neill are transported to an labyrinth designed by the S TARGATE SG-1 EPISODE GUIDE : C.E. WYDEY 4 Asgard to protect an alien world from the Goa’uld. Teal’c cannot leave the trap while his larval Goa’uld lives. O’Neill ended up in the trap through trying to help Teal’c, and they meet a Unas hosting a Goa’uld. There is a woman on the planet who used to be the host of a sym- biote; until it was removed by Thor’s Hammer. Daniel gets his hopes up about removing the symbiote from Sha’re but the Hammer has to be destroyed to extract Teal’c from the trap. 111 The Torment of Tantalus Looking at film from 1945, Daniel sees the stargate activated and Catherine Langford’s fiancé go through the gate. SG-1 and Catherine follow him and find themselves in a crumbling building on the edge of a cliff. The fiancé is still alive after 50 years and the DHD is broken. The castle contains an Ancients’ meeting hall which may hold the secrets of the universe itself.
