CHILDREN OF THE GODS
Two-hour pilot episode #1/2 (#1/2A)
General Hammond summons Colonel Jack O'Neill out of retirement when aliens
emerge from the Stargate, kill the soldiers guarding it, and kidnap a female
guard. In the aftermath of the attack, O'Neill confesses that he defied the
order to destroy Abydos, the world he visited a year ago, and that Daniel
Jackson, presumed dead, is alive and living on Abydos. Arriving on Abydos with
his team, O'Neill meets up once again with the scientist, who has discovered a
giant and elaborate cartouche in hieroglyphics that seems to be a map of many
Stargates throughout the galaxy. However, when the evil Goa'uld Apophis emerges
from the Stargate and kidnaps Jackson's wife Sha're and her brother Skaara,
Jackson joins O'Neill's team on a mission to Chulak to find and rescue them
before General Hammond destroys the Stargate in an effort to protect Earth.

THE ENEMY WITHIN
Episode #3 (#3A)
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
Goa'uld larva that has attached itself to his brain. What they don't realize is
that this larva 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, hoping to get it in time before Kawalsky falls completely under alien
control.

EMANCIPATION
Episode #4 (#6A)
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, Moughal, 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
Moughal'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
Episode #5 (#4A)
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 returns,
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 and to find a cure before it is too late.

THE FIRST COMMANDMENT
Episode #6 (#5A)
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 Captain Jonas Hanson has taken
advantage of this opportunity for power. Hanson now rules the planet without
mercy, forcing the inhabitants to rebuild the giant Goa'uld temples and
condemning disbelievers to death by radiation exposure. It's clear that Hanson
must be stopped. 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
Episode #7 (#7A)
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 goodbye to their son.

THE NOX
Episode #8 (#8A)
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 by the Nox, along with Shak'l, a Jaffa who was also killed in the
battle. 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 Fenri (a large flying insect-like creature) from the sight
of the hunters, and they can bring back the dead. But they refuse to stand up to
the deadly technology of the Goa'uld once Shak'l reveals their secret and their
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 the Goa'ulds or the people of Earth.

BRIEF CANDLE
Episode #9 (#9A)
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 returns to the 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 bloodstream, 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.

THOR'S HAMMER
Episode #10 (#10A)
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 at its end is 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.

THE TORMENT OF TANTALUS
Episode #11 (#11A)
Daniel Jackson makes a remarkable discovery while going through film footage of
Stargate experiments conducted in 1945. It seems that the early team during the
War, 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.

BLOODLINES
Episode #12 (#12A)
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 Goa'uld
larva, and Teal'c is determined to stop the process that would make his boy a
servant to the Goa'ulds. After much debate and a promise to return with a
Goa'uld 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 Goa'uld larva to
survive. And the only one available is the one that is keeping Teal'c alive.

FIRE AND WATER
Episode #13 (#13A)
The SG-1 team returns from the planet Oannes in a panic -- and without Daniel
Jackson, who was last seen being consumed by a column of flames. But, as his
comrades mourn him on Earth, Daniel is a captive of an amphibious humanoid
creature known as Nem who is seeking information about his partner, Omoroca, who
lived on Earth 4,000 years earlier. Daniel struggles to recall his Babylonian
history and agrees to have his brain read by Nem's advanced and possibly deadly
technology. Daniel discovers common ground with Nem -- both have lost their true
loves to the murderous Goa'uld -- and the key to his freedom. Back on Earth, the
SG-1 team struggles with the strange feeling that Daniel isn't really dead. The
team members use hypnosis to revisit the events leading up to Daniel's
disappearance.

HATHOR
Episode #14 (#14A)
When archaeologists 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.

SINGULARITY
Episode #15 (#15A)
The SG-1 team travels through the Stargate to planet P8X-987, where another SG
team has been making preparations to observe a black hole. 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
ascertain 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 Goa'uld.

COR-AI
Episode #16 (#16A)
When O'Neill and the SG-1 team travel through the Stargate to P3X-1279, Teal'c
recognizes it immediately as Cartago, home to the Byrsa and one of the Goa'ulds'
favorite places to harvest humans for assimilation. Teal'c had come here when he
was head Jaffa to Apophis. His visit is remembered by one of the Byrsa, Hanno,
who accuses Teal'c of killing his father. Teal'c is put on trial -- the Byrsa
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 seems resigned to his sentence of death.

ENIGMA
Episode #17 (#17A)
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, the
Tollans shared their 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.

The Stargate malfunctions while Colonel Jack O'Neill and the SG-1 team are
evacuating from a firefight on a hostile planet. As a result, Teal'c and Daniel
Jackson make it back to Stargate Command, but O'Neill and Dr. Samantha Carter
find themselves trapped near a Stargate in an icy crevasse on an unknown planet.
O'Neill is badly hurt -- broken leg, internal injuries -- so it falls to Dr.
Carter to try to dig the nearby gate device out of the ice and find a way to
make it work. Meanwhile, as technicians try to repair the home gate, Teal'c and
Daniel are trying to figure out what went wrong and where their comrades might
be. They could be on any one of a million planets and if someone doesn't figure
out which one soon, Carter and O'Neill will face a frigid death.

trap that renders them unconscious. When they awake, they find themselves in an
underground lab with Harlan, a strange but apparently peaceful native of P3X-989
who claims to be 11,000 years old and who says he has not only fixed their
injuries, but improved them. When they return to Earth, over Harlan's
objections, the team members discover what he means. While they all feel like
themselves, they are all now machines that have been implanted with the
consciousness of the SG-1 team members. Worse, they will run out of power and
die unless they return to P3X-989. Upon their return, they confront Harlan, who,
as a robot himself, is mystified by their demand that he put them back in their
human bodies and sacrifice their immortality. Under pressure, he takes them to
meet themselves in hopes of achieving a compromise between man and machine.

Episode #20 (#20A)
While exploring an alien Stargate complex on P3R-233, a world that appears to
have been destroyed by the Goa'uld, Daniel Jackson discovers a slab that, when
activated, turns into a shimmering mirror. He touches the mirror and gets a mild
jolt but thinks nothing of it until he returns through the Stargate. Then, he
finds himself in an alternate reality, a place that looks like Earth but where
nothing is quite as it was. The most distressing difference is that this world
is under attack by the Goa'ulds, who have wiped out half a billion people and
are about to capture the Stargate Command. O'Neill faces off against Teal'c, who
in this reality is still loyal to the Goa'uld, and Daniel tries to escape
through the Stargate with information that may save his world from the fate of
this alternate reality.

POLITICS
Episode #21 (#21A)
Having escaped marauding Goa'ulds in another Earth reality (in There But For the

launch an attack in this one. 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.

WITHIN THE SERPENT'S GRASP
Episode #22 (#22A) Season Finale
The Stargate is being shut down by the U.S. government, despite Daniel's warning
of an imminent Goa'uld attack on Earth. The SG-1 team, armed to the teeth,
defies 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 ship,
full of Jaffa warriors, traveling through space toward Earth 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. O'Neill and Teal'c seek to find if Skaara's human spirit is still
alive under Klorel's fierce exterior, as the future of the SG-1 team and of
Earth depend on the answer. The cliff-hanger episode is continued in the second
