Synopsis: 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.

as Colonel Kennedy, and Warren Takeuchi as Young Doctor
Synopsis: As the Goa'ulds splatter against
the protective iris installed inside the Stargate, the SG-1
team faces several problems close to home. Colonel Jack O'Neill
wants to add a new member to the team: Teal'c, an alien 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
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 alien larvae that has 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. With guidance from Teal'c, the doctors operate
to remove the alien, but did they get it in time? Or is Kawalsky
still under alien control, ready to kill when the order comes?

Written by : Katharyn Powers
Directed by : Jeff Woolnough
Episode Number : 103
Guest Stars : Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Turghan, Jorge Vargas
as Abu, Soon-Tek Oh as Moughal, and Crystal Lo as Nya
Synopsis: On the planet Simarka, 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.
The Broca Divide
Written by : Jonathan Glassner
Directed by : William Gereghty
Episode Number : 104
Guest Stars : Teryl Rothery as Dr. Fraiser, Gary Jones as
Technician, Gerard Plunkett as Councillor Tuplo, Danny Wattley
as Johnson, and Roxana Phillip as Melosha
Synopsis: O'Neill and the SG-1 team
head through the Stargate to a planet known as P3X797 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.
Is this a disease that can be cured or are O'Neill, the General
and the others all doomed to live out the rest of their lives
in the Stone Age?

Directed by : Dennis Berry
Episode Number : 105
Guest Stars : William Russ as Captain Jonas Hansen, Roger
R. Cross as Lieutenant Connor, Zahf Hajee as Jamala, Adrian
Hughes as Lieutenant Baker, and D. Neil Mark as Frakes
Synopsis: 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.
Cold Lazarus
Written by : Jeffery F. King
Directed by : Kenneth J. Girotti
Episode Number : 106
Guest Stars : Harley Jane Kozak as Sara O'Neill, Teryl Rothery
as Dr. Fraiser, Gary Jones as Technician, Wally Dalton as
Sara's Father, and Kyle Graham as Charlie O'Neill
Synopsis: On Planet P3X562, 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.
The Nox
Written by : Hart Hanson

as Apophis, Ray Xifo as Ohper, Gary Jones as Technician,
Frida Betrani as Lya, Terry David Mulligan as Secretary
of Defense David Swift, Addison Ridge as Nafrayu, and Michasa
Armstrong as Shak'l
Synopsis: 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
revived, 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.

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

them off, and unless they can, O'Neill will soon be dead.

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

Duncan Fraser as Professor Langford, Nancy McClure as Young
Catherine, and Paul McGillion as Young Ernest
Synopsis: Daniel Jackson makes a
remarkable discovery while going through film footage of
Stargate experiments conducted in 1945. It seems that the
post-war team, led by Professor Langford, succeeded in getting
the Stargate to work and a young professor, Ernest Littlefield,
actually traveled through the wormhole, never to return.
Daniel shares this information with the professor's daughter,
Catherine Langford, who oversaw the Stargate project for
years and who was supposed to marry Littlefield before he
disappeared. Using computer-enhanced pictures as a guide,
the SG-1 team, joined by Langford, go in search of Littlefield.
They find the professor, now grown old, as well as a remarkable
room that seems to have been the meeting place of four alien
civilizations. There's only one problem: the dial-home device
on this Stargate is severely damaged and Langford and the
SG-1 team may be trapped forever.

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

one that is keeping Teal'c alive.

Synopsis: O'Neill and the SG-1 team
arrive on the planet Tollan to find a scene of chaos and 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.
