Season 1
1.01. Children of the Gods
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.
With a troop of soldiers from earth in tow, they track the aliens
to the planet Chulak. There they discover that Sha're is now Apophis'
queen; her body has been taken over by the hideous snake creatures,
known as Goa'ulds, who rule this planet and collect life forms
from around the galaxy to use as hosts. 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
First Aired: Sunday July 27th, 1997
1.02. The Enemy Within
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?
Friday August 1st, 1997
1.03. Emancipation
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.
Friday August 8th, 1997
1.04. The Broca Divide
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? Friday
August 15th, 1997
1.05. The First Commandment
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. Friday
August 22nd, 1997
1.06. Cold Lazarus
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. Friday
August 29th, 1997
1.07. The Nox
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. Friday September
12th, 1997
1.08. Brief Candle
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. Friday September
19th, 1997
1.09. Thor's Hammer
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.
Friday September 26th, 1997
1.10. The Torment of Tantalus
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. Friday
October 3rd, 1997
1.11. Bloodlines
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. Friday October 10th, 1997
1.12. Fire and Water
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 struggle
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. Friday October 17th, 1997
1.13. Hathor
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. Friday
October 24th, 1997
1.14. Singularity
The SG-1 team travels through the Stargate to planet P8X987, 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 Gou'ald.
Friday October 31st, 1997
1.15. Cor-ai
When O'Neill and the SG-1 team travel through the Stargate to
P3X1279, Teal'c recognizes it immediately as Chartago, home to
the Bysra 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 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. Friday January 23rd, 1998
1.16. Enigma
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. Friday
January 30th, 1998
1.17. Solitudes
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 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. Friday
February 6th, 1998
1.18. Tin Man
O'Neill and the SG-1 team arrive on PX3989, only to be zapped
by an electrical trap that renders them unconscious. When they
awake, they find themselves in an underground lab with Harlan,
a strange but apparently peaceful native of PX3989 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
PX3989. 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. Friday February
13th, 1998
1.19. There But For the Grace of God
While exploring an alien Stargate complex on P3R233, 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. Friday
February 20th, 1998
1.20. Politics
Having escaped marauding Goa'ulds in another Earth reality, Daniel
Jackson warns that it is only a matter of time before they 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. Friday
February 27th, 1998
21. Within The Serpents Grasp
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, 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 ship, full of
Jaffa warriors, 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. Is Skaara's
human spirit still alive under that fierce exterior or has it
been consumed by Klorel? The future of the SG-1 team and of Earth
depend on the answer. Friday March 6th,
