+++ Season 5 (2001-2002) +++
501 Enemies
The ship which appears next to the Goa'uld mothership carrying Colonel O'Neill belongs to Apophis; but a third ship appears and starts shooting at it when Apophis attacks. So O'Neill, his team and Sam's dad hide in the atmosphere of a blue giant star. When they come out again, there is no sign of life on Apophis's ship but it is infested with Replicators.
A shuttle bearing Teal'c arrives. He was revived in a sarcophagus by Apophis – and he is working for his God again. There are Replicators aboard the shuttle and they infest SG-1 mothership, too. The Replicators get the mothership moving at super duper speed and head for Apophis's planet.
So SG-1 zaps the sub-light engines so that it can't slow down, capture Teal'c and watch the mothership crash onto the planet, destroying Apophis and the Replicators. Only Teal'c stays thoroughly brainwashed and won't believe that the Goa'uld System Lord; his God; is dead. (2/2)
502 Threshold
Teal'c is still brainwashed and Bra'tak, to whom he was apprenticed, is called in to kill or cure him with a dangerous ritual. So we get a history of Teal'c from Apophis' cannon fodder via a man who began to doubt that the Goa'uld are gods to the man who helps the original SG-1 to escape from the false god in Episode 102. And in the end, Teal'c is okay again.
503 Ascension
SG-1 finds what looks like a weapon in ruins. Something zaps Carter while she is examining it. Everyone else thinks she is suffering from stress. Daniel learns that the device is relatively recent compared to the age of the civilization and concludes that the Goa'uld destroyed the planet when it became dangerous.
SG-16 get to study the site, SG-1 gets time off. An alien appears to Sam and a Code 3 team fits her home with cameras. The alien, Orlen, tells Sam he was on the planet alone for hundreds of years and, by the way, he's in love with her.
Orlen, who used to be ascended, says he gave the people of the planet the secret of the weapon which they used to drive off the Goa'uld but the ascended community destroyed the people and marooned him on the planet. And the Earth will suffer the same fate if the weapon they try to use the weapons.
Col. Simmons from the Pentagon (alias Q from Star Trek TNG) has been spying on Sam. Orlen has been ordering stuff over the internet, so Simmons decides to have him arrested. But he has bought enough bits to build a one-shot stargate to get back to the planet to stop a test of the weapon. Which he does, at the cost of his own life, and he destroys the weapon as his last act.
504 The Fifth Man
Carter, Daniel and Teal'c return from P7S441, leaving Colonel O'Neill and Lt. Tyler behind under attack by Jaffa. Carter asked for reinforcements; only Gen. Hammond had never heard of a Lt. Tyler! Stuck in the medical centre, Carter finds that there is no Lt. Tyler and a mystery hacker outside the SGC has been looking at the team's records.
Then Col. Simmons turns up again. Dr. Fraiser starts to remember Tyler. She finds traces of a chemical which creates false memories and she has to admit that she had been contaminated. While Simmons is giving the team a hard time, Tyler tells O'Neill that he is an alien who has the power to manipulate minds and get himself accepted, and the Goa'uld are hunting his species to learn their secrets.
Carter identifies Simmons as the mystery hacker so Gen. Hammond gives him the bum's rush and the team goes back to the planet to rescue O'Neill. ‘Tyler' zaps Daniel and tries to lead the bad guys away from the gate, but O'Neill proves that he doesn't leave his people behind.
505 Red Sky
Having ridden roughshod over dialling protocols, SG-1 are chucked out of the stargate after a rough ride. Daniel thinks they're on an Asgard protected planet, so cue a bunch of villagers in Scandinavian fancy dress. Suddenly, the sky goes red, the villagers think it's Ragnarok, the end of the world, and Carter deduces that the wormhole transported plutonium into the star and changed its light-production pattern.
There's the obligatory stroppy villager who tells SG-1 to get lost. The team find another Asgard Viking hologram but Carter contacts Freyr, who's posing as the local god. The Asgard High Council say they can't help as it would violate the treaty with the Goa'uld and leave them free to attack all the protected planets, including Earth. So SG-1 are on their own.
Carter comes up with a plan which is pure gobbledegook. She wants to launch a rocket containing a super-heavy element into the star. Of course, the stroppy local sabotages the rocket and kills 2 SGC personnel. The Carter comes up with the idea of sending the element through the stargate and disconnecting at the moment it reaches the star. The plan fails but the star suddenly turns the right colour, suggesting the Asgard offered a little stealthy help.
506 Rite of Passage
Cassandra, Dr. Fraiser's alien adopted daughter, falls ill and SG-1 travel to her home planet in search of clues. Cassandra develops a high fever and acquires telekinetic abilities. She finds that making a chess piece rotate in mid air helps to take her mind off things!
Dr. Fraiser is at a loss, Cassandra becomes resigned to her fate and everyone keeps telling her to fight. Her condition is caused by a retrovirus, which Nirti developed in her attempts to breed a better host animal for the Goa'uld.
Then Nirti is discovered lurking, invisibly, at the SGC, having travelled there when SG-1 returned from Cassandra's home world. She is captured and General Hammond is persuaded to do a deal with her. She wants her freedom and a blood sample. She gets just her freedom after curing Cassandra; much to her surprise.
507 Beast of Burden
Daniel has been studying the Unas and a video shows Chaka being kidnapped by men with Goa'uld weapons. SG-1 goes to their planet and finds that Unas are enslaved there. The humans were once enslaved by Unas hosting Goa'uld but they'd rebelled and made the Unas their slaves.
As a result of inbreeding, the native Unas are untrainable but, luckily, the humans know the gate address of Chaka's world. Daniel is all for liberating the slaves. O'Neill and Daniel try to ‘extract' Chaka by night. But he wants to take the rest of the prisoners with him and the plan flops.
Carter and Teal'c provide a fire as a distraction from a mass break-out from the prison. They fight their way through an ambush at the gate and then Chaka decides to stay behind as leader of the Unas. They all know what freedom is, they all want it and Chaka plans to lead a guerilla war until they get it.
508 The Tomb
SG-1 finds an empty Russian cigarette packet at a ziggurat on a desert planet. A Russian expedition, still missing, used their stargate without authorization and they went to find Eye of Tiamut. The Russian government insists that one of their teams accompanies SG-1 on a rescue mission.
Daniel deciphers the entrance mechanism and the teams enter the ziggurat. SG1 finds a skeleton in a Russian uniform. It's 10 months old and the flesh has been stripped from the skeleton by tiny teeth.
Col. Chekov finds a the Eye and a sarcophagus. one of the Russians springs a trap and the seals the entrance, and one of the Russians is crushed in the door. The sarcophagus contains a chewed body. Carter concludes that the creature was kept alive by the sarcophagus, it ate the host of a Goa'uld over a long period of time and the Goa'uld is now in the creature.
Carter shoots the creature after it attacks the woman on the Russian squad. The Goa'uld is no longer inside the creature; it's inside inside a Russians. Chekov kills himself trying to take out the Goa'uld but Daniel has found a ring system. So SG-1 escapes in the nick of time and they blow up the chamber and the Goa'uld. The Eye is left behind wich Chekov but luckily, the female Russian is still alive to corroberate O'Neill's report.
509 Between Two Fires
SG-1 attend the funeral of the Tollan leader Omoc, Marin warns them that Earth is in grave danger and the Curia , the Tollan governing body, wants to talk to them. The Tollans say they need trinium and they're prepared to trade ion cannons for it. Earth needs at least 38 of them for minimum global coverage; and they can have them now that Omoc, an opponent of technology sharing, is out of the way.
The Tollans have personal health monitors and the slow response to Omoc's heart attack makes Narim think he was murdered. Then he finds that Curia records have been altered, which is a major crime.
A Goa'uld mothership visited the planet with shields which the ion cannons could not penetrate. Travell, the Chancellor, is now working for the Goa'uld Tanith [see 404 Crossroads and 422 Exodus], who won't say who his master is (it's Anubis).
The Tollans are building Weapons of Mass Destruction incorporating their gadget which lets things pass through solid objects; such as the iris in the SGC. Tanith orders the Chancellor to demonstrate the weapons by sending one to Earth, which the Goa'uld can't attack directly as it's a protected planet. Narim turns an ion cannon on the weapon store and blows them up. SG-1 makes it to the stargate. And later, a message arrives at the SGC to tell them that they have been wiped out by the Goa'uld.
510 2001
SG-1 are introduced to the Ashen Confederacy by the locals on a farm planet (416 2010). The Ashen are an advanced race but they don't have a DHD and they can't dial more than a few local gates because of drift. Joe Faxon, Earth's ambassador takes a shine to Carter, who has calculated the position of the Ashen homeworld and narrowed it down to four planets; one of which is P4C970, which was removed form the dialling computer after O'Neill's bloodstained note was received (in episode 416).
Daniel and Teal'c are told to poke around and they find their way to the buried remains of a city, where Daniel finds newspapers and accounts of a disaster. The Pentagon stops Hammond when he tries to send SG-15 to the possibles for the Ashen homeworld. Senator Kinsey, in particular, is eager to trade with them.
The Ashen have bioweapons, they can end disease and there's much more on offer. But they gave the people of the farm planet a vaccine 200 years before and their population has dropped from millions to a few thousand. The president won't listen to objections. O'Neill goes to Washington but Kinsey intercepts him. Carter delivers some gate addresses then gets the Ashen to confirm that the vaccine given to the Voleans caused sterility.
The Ashen turn nasty and try to drop a bioweapon into the stargate. Carter gets away but Ambassador Faxon is left behind. Kinsey goes back to Washington in a furious condition. And the gate addresses the Ashen got start at the black hole planet (216. A Matter of Time) and get nastier!
511 Desperate Measures
Major Carter is kidnapped and taken to a medical facility. SG-1 try to locate her her and Col. O'Neill contacts Col. Maybourne to see if he can help. Maybourne says NID and Col. Simmons of the Pentagon are involved. Simmons blames Maybourne.
Adrian Wright, a rich businessman, is dying because his immune system has packed up. The Russians captured a Jaffa when they had a stargate programme and Maybourne tells O'Neill he knows the name of the doctor who got the symbiote.
Carter escapes briefly. Wright tells her the plan is to put the symbiote into him just for long enough to cure him. What he doesn't mention is that his doctors know she once hosted the Tok'ra Jolinar and they need to kill her to examine her brain to find out how to remove the symbiote.
Mrs. Wright tells the doctors to go ahead and kill Carter. She ends up dead, killed by the Goa'uld. O'Neill rescues Carter in the nick of time. Then Simmons shoots O'Neill in the back (in his flak jacket) and decamps with the Goa'uld, planning to extract information. And Maybourne also gets away and he is blamed for shooting O'Neill.
512 Wormhole X-treme!
SG-1 revisits an earlier story (411 Point of No Return). Martin Lloyd, the guy really from outer space, with his memory suppressed again, is working on a TV series based on the SG teams. His ship is approaching Earth (he and his mates abandoned it to come to Earth in an escape pod) and Gen. Hammond & Co. want to talk to him.
Col. O'Neill is appointed air force liaison officer to the production unit and he learns that Martin has erased his own memory because he didn't want to know that his planet had been destroyed by the Goa'uld.
Martin's fellow aliens steer Carter and Daniel into NID agents while they work on Martin, who has a gadget which they need to talk to the ship. Only the gadget is being used as a prop for the TV series. O'Neill gives it to the aliens to let them leave before the NID mob arrive. And Martin chooses to remain behind on Earth when his mates beam out. A somewhat silly episode.
513 Proving Ground
O'Neill is training some potential recruits and giving them a hard time. Then a phone call warns him of a foothold situation at the SGC. The recruits volunteer to help him zap the invaders and they end up zapping the Colonel, having deduced that he has been taken over by nano-invaders from a Goa'uld device. Of course, it all turns out to be a training exercise and the team does very well.
Then Major Carter finds that she is unable to close the iris on the stargate and gamma radiation floods through. With one team member dead from radiation exposure, the lieutenant in charge of the recruits chooses to enter the radiation zone and close the iris manually. But it turns out to be another exercise to find out if he has the determination to go ‘above and beyond' the requirements of duty. And his reward is an immediate posting to a Stargate team.
514 48 Hours
SG-1 returned under fire, Teal'c lagged behind to shoot down an alkesh piloted by Tanith, which crashed in front of the gate just after he entered the wormhole. The gate disconnected before Teal'c reached the SGC and Carter concluded that his energy signature was stored in the gate's buffer, which will be cleared if the gate is used again.
The gate is blocked off with the iris and off-world team are retried with the Russian stargate. Daniel is sent there as liaison. Col. Simmons arrives to tell Hammond that the gate has to be operational in 48 hours. Dr. McKay is with him, he's full of scorn for Carter's dialling computer (and keeps bugging Carter) and he's already told the US government that Teal'c is as good as dead.
The Russians turn stroppy and O'Neill hooks up with Maybourne, who swears he didn't shoot him in episode 511 and warns him that Simmons has a secret agenda. The Tok'ra say the gate needs a DHD, although having one might not retrieve Teal'c, andthe Russians won't hand over theirs. Simmons offers to save Teal'c at a price. The Russians want their own SGC team and full access to all SGC reports and alien technology.
O'Neill and Maybourne raid an NID safe house where the escaped Goa'uld is being held. The President orders Hammond to resume operations. But O'Neill finds a surveillance tape showing the Goa'uld telling Simmons how to save Teal'c. Simmons is arrested, McKay is sent to Russia as a naquadah generator expert and Carter blows up the Russian DHD while retrieving Teal'c.
515 Summit
The Goa'uld System Lords, after fighting among themselves, are planning to hold a summit meeting to thrash out a new order in the galaxy. The Tok'ra plan to zap the lot of them and they need Daniel to go under cover as a human slave and release a poison, which will kill the Goa'uld symbionts. Meanwhile, the Goa'uld attack the Tok'ra base planet to wipe them out.
Osiris, hosted by Sarah, Daniel's ex-girlfriend, arrives at the summit and Daniel, like a dope, doesn't release the poison. Osiris, of course, recognizes him. O'Neill, Teal'c and Carter end up trapped in Tok'ra tunnels under bombardment by the Goa'uld, and there they'll have to stay until the next episode. (Part 1 of 2)
516 Last Stand
Daniel jabs Osiris [who's hosted by his friend Sarah] with his ring to make him/her believe that he is a servant. Osiris is working for Anubis, who's supposed to have been dead for 1,000 years and who is absent from the summit, which gives Daniel another excuse for not releasing his Goa'uld-killing poison because killing the other System Lords will give Anubis a clear run.
Anubis wants to join the System Lords but first, he can destroy Earth while he isn't one of them without violating the Protected Planets treaty with the Asgard. And the Goa'uld System Lords eat their young as snacks at the summit, which explained why they have zero population growth.
Daniel comes up with a hare-brained scheme to kidnap Osiris and get the Goa'uld symbiote removed from Sarah, the host. The plan flops but Sam's dad/Sel'mec rescues him and they head for the Tok'ra planet, where everyone is being wiped out in the tunnels. Jacob Carter crashes on the planet and the dying Lt. Elliot and his Tok'ra symbiote Martuf agreed to let themselves be captured and release the poison to take as many Goa'uld and Jaffa with them as possible. (Part 2 of 2)
517 Fail Safe
An asteroid is heading for Earth and none of Earth's allies can help. SG-1 team goes to deflect it with a bomb with a yield of 1 billion tons of TNT in an ancient spacecraft while Earth begins a selective evacuation. The team has a tough time landing and the people back on Earth assume they have crashed.
While dodging Leonid meteors, Carter discovers that the ‘asteroid' is a Goa'uld set-up and using the bomb to deflect it will zap Earth good and proper. Of course, she learns this after O'Neill has started the count-down and he has to disarm the bomb by cutting the red wire; only there are 5 wires and they are all yellow!
Then Carter comes up with the idea of surrounding the asteroid with the spacecraft's hyperdrive when it reaches Earth. Cue Col. O'Neill telling her he can see his house. And finally, the Tok'ra turn up in a rescue ship to take SG-1 home.
518 The Warrior
K'tano, a Jaffa rabble-rouser, is going round saying the Goa'uld are not gods. He's offering an alliance to Earth in exchange for supplies and weapons. He has killed Imhotep, a very minor Goa'uld, and created his army from the armies of other dead System Lords.
Teal'c and Bra'tac both buy what K'tano is selling. O'Neill is not impressed by the way K'tano encourages his troops to fight to the death pointlessly, allegedly to achieve freedom. O'Neill proves Earth weapons are superior to staff weapons (‘proper weapons' to the Jaffa). He calls off the alliance when he sees K'tano sending out suicide bombers.
Teal'c effectively resigns from SG-1 and goes off to kill Lord Yu, who captures him and sends him back with the news that K'tano is, in fact, hosting the Goa'uld sybiote Imhotep, which explains why he has no regard for the lives of Jaffa. Teal'c fights a leadership battle with K'tano and kills him, his glowing eyes give K'tano away as he is croaking, and everyone rushes for the stargate under bombardment by Lord Yu's forces.
519 Menace
SG-1 finds a female android on a destroyed planet and Carter reactivates it. The android doesn't know it's a machine and there are Replicator bits all over the planet. Carter can't understand why they haven't eaten the android too; but it turned out that Reese, the android, made the Replicators as toys and they got out of control and killed her ‘father' (who made her) and everyone else on the planet.
Of course, she makes some more Replicators in the SGC so General Hammond fails to contact the Asgard, so he orders SG-1 to shut Reese down. She floods the SGC with Replicators and heads for the stargate. Hammond and Carter activate the self-destruct system.
Daniel tries to talk the android round but Col. O'Neill takes the more direct route of shooting her and removing her power source with less than 2 minutes left before the big bang. And she deactivates the Replicators before she croaks.
520 The Sentinel
SG-9 has disappeared while trying to contact a race visited by Col. Maybourne's NID bad guys. The planet is under attack by Jaffa (Lord Svarog's forces) but it is supposed to have a defence machine called The Sentinel. SG-1 and SG-3 are sent to the planet with two NID bad guys from Death Row to fix the machine, assuming that NID agents disabled it when taking it apart.
But what they actually did was kill the Caretaker, a vital human component of the system. So the NID bloke takes his place, clears the planet of Jaffa and zaps a Goa'uld mothership. And the NID woman dies of her wounds. (Henry Gibson guested as the rather dotty old leader of the locals.)
521 Meridian
Daniel returns home from the planet Kalowna after being exposed to a lethal dose of radiation and the story is told in flash-back. Scientists there have found a substance more energetic than naquadah – naquadria – and they put together a super-critical mass out of ignorance. Daniel saved their asses by shooting out a safety glass panel to enter the radiation-filled laboratory and separate the naquadria samples. The Kalownans then accuse Daniel of sabotaging their weapons programme to cover up their own negligence.
Eventually, Jonas Quinn, a Kalownan ethical advisor, does the right thing and smuggles some naquadria to Earth; where it will to be used to power planetary shields against the Goa'uld; with any luck. He becomes an outcast after telling his government what really happened, and that Daniel saved their planet from being blown up.
Jacob Carter tries to use a Goa'uld healing device to save Daniel, who is listening to Oma Desala talk Zen bollocks when she's not trying to persuade him to ascend. Daniel decides he's had enough of this life. So he leaves the SGC as a brilliant ascending flare of white light.
522 Revelations
Osiris, hosted by Sarah, has a confrontation in space with Thor and blasts the Asgard ship. The Goa'uld suddenly have shields proof against Asgard weapons. Daniel is missing, presumed dead, and Major Carter is broken up about it while O'Neill is resigned to losing people.
The Asgard need SG-1 to use their Goa'uld cargo ship to rescue Heimdall, a scientist, from an underground base on a planet which is under siege by the Goa'uld. The Asgard are dying out as they reproduce by cloning and their genetic matrix is decaying. But Heimdall has the body of an ancestor which, he hopes, will revive their gene pool.
Of course, O'Neill and Teal'c get themselves captured trying to rescue Thor from the Goa'uld mothership. Then Carter is zatted in the undeground base by the Goa'uld but Heimdall beams her out in the nick of time when O'Neill blasts the shield power source of the Goa'uld mother ship. Heimdall also retrieves O'Neill, Teal'c and Thor.
Then Freya shows up with a fleet of battle cruisers to chase the Goa'uld away. Thor is left in a coma and everyone is left wondering what Anubis has in the way of new technology. And a mysterious breeze blows Carter and O'Neill in the SGC – dead Daniel?
+++ End of Season 5 +++
+++ Season 6 (2002-2003) +++
601 Redemption, Part 1
SG-1 returns under fire and sacks their 9th replacement for Daniel. Jonas Quinn gets his first trip off base in 3 months to Area 51, where X-302 is ready for testing. Colonel Chekov wants a Russian in SG-1. "Over my rotting corpse," is O'Neill's response. Jonas wants to join SG-1 but O'Neill is against it. Teal's goes to Chulak for his wife's funeral; she refused to take another symbiote and Rya'c, their son, blames Teal'c for her death because he started the rebellion.
The gate is activated but Carter can't detect anything coming through it, which makes no sense. But when the gate stays open for longer than 38 minutes, she finds that energy is building up in it and it will go off bang in a couple of days and destroy all life on Earth! And they can't use the gate to get help while their enemy is dialled in to it. Dr. McKay returns from Russia to wind her up. Carter thinks using X-302 to contact the Asgard will be a good plan. McKay and Jonas both say it won't work and the space plane fails to enter a hyperspace window.
Meanwhile, the Jaffa have discovered that Anubis has a weapon which can be used to attack one stargate via another gate. So Bra'tac starts dialling gate addresses, looking for another one which is unobtainable, like Earth's. Carter doesn't think she can find an answer in time and she thinks going to have some cake with O'Neill is better than struggling for answers. Then Anubis sends a holographic projection through the gate with threats and provides proof that he has access to Asgard technology won from Thor's mind. (Part 1 of 2)
602 Redemption, Part 2
Earth's stargate will explode in 54 hours. Dr. McKay wants to send an EM pulse through the gate to take out Anubis' weapon. Carter thinks it won't work and opening the iris is a bad idea. Bra'tac locates the right planet, Rya'c wants to fight, the Jaffa find the planet heavily guarded but they ring down anyway and Teal'c and Bra'tac are caught.
The pulse generator idea flops and the time to detonation is cut in half to 25 hours. Teal'c reckons the weapon is Ancients' technology and Anubis won't be able to repair it if they can damage it. Jonas wonders how the stargate reached the SGC in the heart of a mountain, which gives Carter the idea of taking the gate into space with X-302. The Russians offer to rent their gate to the USA but Hammond says there's no point as Anubis could destroy their gate, too. A plan to hurl the gate into space fails but O'Neill drops it into a hyperspace window and it blows up 3 million miles away.
Rya'c steals a death glider, frees Teal'c and Bra'tac and attacks the weapon. The stargate programme is being shut down when Teal'c & Co. arrive in a cargo ship to announce that the weapon has been destroyed. So the SGC reopens for business with the Russian gate and O'Neill has to let Jonas join SG-1 as an alternative to accepting a Russian. (Part 2 of 2)
603 Descent
SG-1 find Anubis's mothership abandoned in Earth orbit with the self-destruct sequence stalled. Jacob Carter takes SG-1 to the ship in an alkesh. Carter thinks it's the ship Anubis used to kidnap Thor and downloading Thor's consciousness into the computer had the effect of putting a virus in it.
Some Jaffa left aboard kill an expendable boffin, shoot Jacob and destroy the ring system controls on the alkesh before Teal'c takes them out. The ship plunges into the ocean, and Teal'c and Jonas go aboard from a DSRV. The ship starts flooding, O'Neill and Carter nearly drown but they are able to recover part of the memory core containing Thor's consciousness, which can be fed to a new clone body.
Taking Thor out of the computer starts the self-destruct sequence running again. Jonas risks his life to give the team access to a glider bay, and they all escape just before the ship blows up. Jonas has now proved his worth as a member of the team.
604 Frozen
SG-1 is in Antarctica near where the other stargate was dug up. They find a human body which is millions of years old in the ice. And when they thaw the lady out, she wakes up. The bad news is that she is carrying a virus, which attacks everyone. Iana, the frozen one, can cure those affected by the virus but only by draining herself to the point where she croaks. So O'Neill has to accept a Tok'ra symbiote as his only means of survival.
605 Nightwalkers
Major Carter gets a nocturnal phone call from a Dr. Flemming and SG-1, minus Col. O'Neill, heads for a small town. Fleming is missing from a car crash and his lab at ImmunoTech has burned down. The firm used to be owned by Adrian Wright (511. Desperate Measures), who is called Adrian Conrad (514. 48 Hours) since he had his Goa'uld implanted.
The townsfolk are behaving weirdly at night because they have been implanted with clones of Conrad's symbiote. The clones don't contain naquadah so Carter and Teal'c can't detect them. Flemming posted an antidote to himself and it arrives while SG-1 are searching his home.
SG-1 find a spaceship under construction. The townsfolk have to work at night because their immature symbiotes can control them only when they're asleep. NID are monitoring the situation but their team has been taken over, too, and the plan is to take over NID.
Carter is implanted with a symbiote; but after she has injected herself with Flemming's antidote. And there is enough left over for everyone in town when she has saved the day.
606 Abyss
Colonel O'Neill's Tok'ra symbiote takes him to a secret base run by the Goa'uld System Lord Baal. O'Neill is captured, his symbiote commits suicide and Baal keeps killing and reviving O'Neill, using a sarcophagus, to make him talk. General Hammond forces the Tok'ra to help. Dead Daniel appears and he is eager to help O'Neill ‘ascend'. O'Neill's symbiote had been affected by his sense of values and it wanted to rescue a slave girl who'd helped it on a previous mission to the base. Teal'c comes up with the idea of leaking the location of the base to other System Lords and they attack it. And with one bound, O'Neill is back home.
607 Shadow Play
The other two power groups are ganging up on Kelowna, the home of Jonas Quinn [Daniel's replacement] and the Kelownans want to swap weapons naquadria. Earth doesn't want to interfere but the Kelownans have built a bomb. Quinn's old professor says there's a resistance movement planning a coup. But radiation from the naquadria has turned him schizophrenic and the resistance is all in his mind. SG-1 does get hold of some naquadria but suddenly, Quinn's planet goes silent. War? Probably.
608 The Other Guys
SG-1 and two boffins, Felger and Coombs (the doctor from Cap'n B. Acula's Enterprise), become tangled up in a mission, during which SG-1 is captured by intent and then things go horribly wrong. Colonel O'Neill, in particular, parodies himself mercilessly. But all become clear at the end. It's all just a daydream by Felger.
609 Allegiance
Earthers, Tok'ra and Jaffa end up on SGC's Off-world base after the Tok'ra have their collective asses kicked by Anubis. Lots of tension, someone tries to sabotage the naquadah power generator and a stroppy Tok'ra is done to death after getting up the nose of one of the Jaffa. The Jaffa is killed in a prison cell by an assassin with a cloaking device, who came through the gate with the injured Tok'ra, and the assassin grabs Bra'tac.
Sam Carter works out how to make the infiltrator visible and he is duly zapped by Master Bra'tac, whom everyone thought had been killed by the assassin. So we achieved unity of the allies against a common enemy. Hooray!
610 Cure
SG-1 meets the leaders of Pangera and they offer a cure for all diseases in return for the gate address of a Goa'uld homeworld. It turns out that the Pangerans are breeding Goa'uld symbiotes and making their drug out of them. One of the security men falls into a vat of symbiotes and SG-1 calls in the Tok'ra to remove it.
The Pangerans have a Goa'uld queen – only she turns out to be the mother of all Tok'ra and they want her freed at once. The problem for the Pangerans is that if they stopped taking the drug, they'll die. But the Tok'ra Queen tells them how to reverse the drug's effects before she expires.
611 Prometheus
A reporter who knows too much gets a tour of Project Prometheus as part of a strategy to cover up her source material. But the secret spaceship X303 is taken over by the camera crew, who demand the release of Col. Frank Simmons of NID (alias Q from Star Trek TNG) and the Goa'uld-infested Adrian Conrad, who is going to make the hyperdrive work.
Major Carter is able to get in a spot of sabotage and Col. O'Neill and Teal'c join her and Jonas, using their Goa'uld death glider, just before X303 zooms off into hyperspace. The Goa'uld symbiote transfers to Q but O'Neill spaces both of them. Then, as SG-1 are realizing that they have no idea where they are, Thor turns up; with the news that his planet has been over-run by Replicators! (Part 1 of 2)
612 Unnatural Selection
Thor tells SG-1 (who are still on Prometheus) that that one of the Asgard planets has been overrun by Replicators, which were lured there using the android Replicator creator from Episode 519 Menace. The Asgard need their help to defeat the invaders.
The Asgard created a slow-down time distortion around the planet and the Replicators have had thousands of years to evolve into humanoid forms. They grab SG-1 so they can scan the team's memories to learn all they can about other worlds which SG-1 has visited.
A humanoid Replicators called Fifth offers to help SG-1 to lock the planet in a temporal stasis. Not trusting Fifth, O'Neill gets Carter to set the timer on the stasis generator to do a quick count-down. SG-1 leaves all of the humanoid Replicators stuck in time and escape in Prometheus. (Part2 of 2)
613 Sight Unseen
SG-1 returns to the SGC with a piece of alien technology which is emitting energy. Jonas suddenly sees a huge, red flying bug. A search of the SGC turns up nothing. Hammond gives SG-1 some down-time. Jonas is grounded when he sees another bug. Then Teal'c and Jonas both see a bug and O'Neill starts shooting at one while he's on his way to do some fishing.
Jonas translates the writing on the device. The Ancients were using it to make harmless creatures in a parallel dimension visible for study. Seeing the creatures could become a major distraction on Earth, Hammond realizes, and the ability to see them is contagious! Switching the device off, and taking it back where it came from, doesn't stop people seeing the bugs. Hammond tries to set up a quarantine at the SGC and Colorado Springs, where O'Neill is. Carter shuffles the control crystals in the device and reverses its effect.
Then O'Neill has to catch Vernon, a Gulf War veteran (motor pool) and garage owner, who escapes from the quarantine zone. And he persuades Vernon to do the decent thing for his government and keep the episode secret.
614 Smoke and Mirrors
Colonel O'Neill shoots Senator Kinsey, the SGC's enemy, and he is captured doing it on CCTV in Washington while he is on holiday in the wilds of Minnesota. Carter works out that someone used a duplicator, and lo! the 12 stored in Area 51 are all fakes. Kinsey was being blackmailed into exposing a secret group within NID. Carter teams up with Agent Barrett of NID and nearly gets herself blown up. The good news is that the bad guys are rolled up in the end. The bad news is that Kinsey reckons he'll be the next president.
615 Paradise Lost
Col. Maybourne gets out of gaol by offering the SGC a gadget found in Egypt 80 years before. He says it's the key to a weapon on the planet once occupied by the Furlings. But he uses it with a structure on the alien world to escape – with O'Neill in hot pursuit. Carter assumes that they are elsewhere on the planet but she can't get the transporter to work. After a scan, the Tok'ra say O'Neill and Maybourne are nowhere on the planet. Then Carter works out that they were transported to a huge moon.
O'Neill and Maybourne start hallucinating and trying to kill each other after O'Neill finds some dead Furlings, one of whom contains a dead Goa'uld. The Goa'uld brought the local equivalent of locoweed to the moon, and everyone who eats it goes crazy. When rescued, O'Neill tells Maybourne he can be dropped off on another planet, instead of going to gaol, as O'Neill had the pleasure of shooting him.
616 Metamorphosis
Russia's SG team returns with an alien, who says Nirrti is experimenting on his people. She's trying to create a perfect host, a hok'tar, by altering their DNA with a device built by the Ancients. Col. Ivanov sees an opportunity to kill or capture Nirrti. And the alien suddenly turns into a puddle! SG-1 and the Russians go to the planet and find disfigured natives, who claim Nirrti is helping them. One is telepathic and another is telekinetic, and they use their powers to capture Jonas and Teal'c.
Nirrti, using her invisibility gadget, zaps Carter and the TK stops a bullet from O'Neill's P-90 in mid-air. Ivanov is also captured and he ends up liquefied. Nirrti takes a fancy to Jonas and offers to rule the galaxy with him. O'Neill gets the natives to revolt and the TK kills Nirrti after the TP reads her mind and recovers the information needed repair them with the Ancients' machine. And the aliens decide to destroy the machine when it has done its job; to Carter's dismay.
617 Disclosure
The United States and Russia decide to tell the UK, China and France about the existence of the stargate. As Major Davis of the White House is briefing ambassadors at the Pentagon, Senator Kinsey crashes the party. Kinsey has been moved from Appropriations to Intelligence Oversight, which puts him in control of NID. The other nations aren't happy with the United States retaining sole control of the stargate so Kinsey proposes that NID should take charge of it.
Lots of clips from past episodes and the Russians tell the Chinese, who are all for going public, that it would be a good idea to let the Americans spend billions on developing spaceships then get the plans for free. General Hammond persuades Thor to beam down to the meeting room and freaks everyone out with an genuine grey alien. Thor says the Asgard are happy to see the existing SGC staff stay in control of the stargate and Kinsey is thwarted.
618 Forsaken
SG-1 find a crashed spaceship, 3 survivors and hostile non-humanoid aliens on a new planet. O'Neill and Teal'c hunt hostiles while Major Carter fixes the ship and flirts with the captain, and an injured female flings herself at Jonas Quinn. Big surprise! The hostiles turns out to be the crew of the ship and the humanoids are escaped prisoners. But Jonas and Gen. Hammond sucker them in the end.
619 The Changeling
In this somewhat weird episode, Teal'c is having weird dreams, alternating between being a fireman who is about to donate a kidney to his adoptive father and a member of SG-1. Daniel Jackson is in the fireman dream even though he's ‘ascended' in this series. But it turns out that Teal'c and Bra'tak have been ambushed and Teal'c has kept both of them alive for three days by sharing his symbiote, which is now knackered. Enter Sam's dad with Tok'ra refined tritonin, which will act as a temporary substitute for a Goa'uld symbiote for the Jaffa.
620 Memento
SG-1 set off in the spaceship X-303 Prometheus and the drive breaks down, leaving them stranded far from home. They have to ditch the naquadah drive core off a planet, which assumes it is under attack and starts shooting.
The only hope of getting home for the Earthers is to find the stargate on Tagrea, which is inactive and which the locals think is just a myth. Jonas and Teal'c find that the Goa'uld Horus used to control the planet and the stargate has been buried.
After the stargate has been found, the stroppy head of the local military turns up in his personal tank to arrest everyone. Luckily, the planetary president is there to deflect him. The president is willing to let the crew from Earth use the stargate to get parts for Prometheus and open diplomatic relations.
621 Prophecy
Jonas Quinn starts seeing flashes of the future and he suspects it's due to Nirrti's experiments on him (Episode 616, Metamorphosis). A planet abandoned by Baal is still being visited by Lord Mot and the locals believe SG-1 will fulfill a 1,000-year-old prophecy and free them.
Dr. Fraiser finds that Jonas has a brain tumour. He and Major Carter sit out a mission when Jonas sees her injured but Carter is injured at the SGC. O'Neill & Co. are captured after a local betrays them and Jonas sees the SGC destroyed and SG-1 and SG-15 wiped out in an ambush! Mot plans to let them go and grab them again when they've used the iris code. Jonas has an operation to remove the tumour. He gets a warning to Carter, who warns the rest of SG-1 and the revolution against Mot is successful.
622 Full Circle
Dead Daniel appears to O'Neill in a lift and tells him to head for Abydos (where the whole Stargate story began with the initial film) to retrieve the Eye of Ra before Anubis can get hold of it and complete a set. Skaa'ra shows SG-1 where to look for the eye but they end up trapped in the pyramid by the forces of Anubis, who does a deal with Daniel as Lord Yu's forces arrive; if he gets the Eye, he won't destroy Abydos.
Anubis destroys Lord Yu's fleet and Daniel finds he can't fight him. Anubis is an ascended Goa'uld, who was chucked out by the Ancients and who is now stuck somewhere between ascended and not-ascended. Which makes him pretty unzappable. SG-1 heads for Earth as Abydos destroys the pyramid on Abydos. But Carter is able to redial the planet eventually. On their last trip there, SG-1 find that Oma Desala has saved Skaa'ra and the other.
+++ End of Season 6 +++
+++ Season 7 (2003-2004) +++
701 Fallen
Jonas Quinn works on the location of the City of the Lost and gets a fix on a planet – when they go there, they find locals who have taken in an amnesiac Daniel Jackson. They bring him back to SGC and get reports that Anubis is triumphing with the Eye that Jack turned over to him (in Full Circle). Daniel determines the planet isn't the location of the Lost City that pre-amnesiac Daniel said they needed, much to the team's dismay.
They finally come up with a plan: Jonas and Daniel create a fake tablet to lure in Anubis while Jack and Sam fly the F-302 through Anubis' shields via hyperdrive and destroy his crystal power core via a power shaft, then call in Lord Yu. Jonas and Daniel sneak on board Anubis' ship via teleport-rings to access the computers and get the shaft's location.
Things go awry when Yu backs out (taking Teal'c prisoner) and Anubis figures out it's a trap and targets the planet's Stargate. Jack and Sam get the info and destroy the power core in the nick of time but Jonas gets captured and Anubis uses the mind-probe to find out about Quinn's home planet of Kelowna and goes there to obtain its Naquadria. (Part 1 of 2)
702 Homecoming
Anubis heads for Jonas' homeworld in search of naquadria. Lord Yu is dying so Teal'c brokers a takeover of his army by Lord Baal. Earth wants the 3 powers on Jonas' homeworld to co-operate as the price of aid.
Anubis also wants a data crystal in a Colonan museum. Carter finds it and Daniel and Jonas ring down to the museum just in time to save her from Jaffa. But only briefly as the Colonan leader has sold out to Anubis. But Baal's fleet arrives, Anubis legged it in a small craft without the crystal and Jonas bows out of SG-1. (Part 2 of 2)
703 Fragile Balance
Colonel O'Neill arrives at the SGC as a punk kid! And the kid playing the part does an excellent job with the O'Neill mannerisms. The last thing he remembers is going to bed, then he woke up ‘like this'. Daniel and Teal'c research similar abductions while O'Neill gives a tutorial on flying the X-302. The Tok'ra want to put him in stasis when Dr. Fraiser discovers that his DNA is unstable. Then Sel'mac discovers that the kid is a defective clone, which hasn't grown properly.
An Asgard called Loki has been doing unauthorized cloning experiments with humans and creating grey alien abduction stories. So SG-1 neutralizes him and summons Thor, who saves the day for the kid by repairing his defects. And in the end, the kid chooses to be his age and go high school, something which the real O'Neill didn't finish.
704 Orpheus
Teal'c is shot returning to Earth's stargate and he gets all moody about having to rehab his injuries as he no longer has a symbiote. He feels that he has shamed himself by not being able to keep up with the rest of SG-1, even though O'Neill says he was serving as a rearguard.
Daniel keeps hearing snatches of voices and he finds himself trying to remember something. Then he has a vision of Bra'tac, who is running out of Tratonin, and Teal'c's son on a prison world. Another Jaffa identifies the prison planet from Daniel's description. Jaffa prisoners are sent there to be worked to death in a naquadah mine.
Teal'c is not convinced that he is fit for duty and he is captured when the rescue begins. But Carter rings aboard a Goa'uld spaceship, which is under construction and hovering near the mine. The prisoners are liberated and recruited to the Jaffa rebellion. Teal'c feels okay with himself again. And Daniel begins to feel like he is part of something important.
705 Revisions
A MALP shows a 2.2 km wide force-field dome on a planet with a toxic atmosphere. It then drives through the dome into what looks like a park. A local kid shows SG1 to a town where the people all have a gadget on their temple to link them to a central computer. No one has left the dome for 400 years.
SG-1 is told, ‘you must be mistaken' a lot; such as after a female member of the council disappears and everyone insists she never existed. Carter pals up with a technician, Pallan, and finds that the dome's power source is failing and its computer is shrinking the force field to fit available resources, sending surplus people out into the toxic wasteland; Pallan's wife among them; and revising everyone's memory via the link.
The people in the town refuse to believe Carter and refuse relocation because the computer tells them that removing their links will kill them. Daniel finds written evidence that the dome used to contain 100,000 people, of whom just 2,000 are left.
Carter removes Pallan's link and when he doesn't die, he helps her to reprogram the computer. Meanwhile, the computer turns the people against O'Neill and Teal'c, but before they have to start shooting to defend themselves, Pallan is able to erase all memories of SG-1. Then everyone is relocated to another planet.
SG1 visits a planet with a toxic atmosphere where there is a force-field shielding a town. The people are all linked to a central computer via gadgets (links) on their heads. SG-1 meets the local council then a female member just vanishes and the locals deny she ever existed.
Carter palls up with a technician, Pallan, and finds that the town's power source is failing and its computer is shrinking the force field to fit available resources. The people in the town refuse to believe her and refuse relocation because the computer tells them that removing their links will kill them.
The computer is also sending surplus residents out into the toxic fog outside and editing the memories of those left so that they have no idea what is happening. Daniel finds that 98,000 people out of 100,000 have gone. The computer programs the people to attack SG-1 but Sam and Pallan are able to stop it and the people are relocated to another planet.
706 Lifeboat
SG-1 find ‘a shipload of frozen people' crashed. Then everyone is knocked out and Daniel is taken over by multiple personalities. The ship was running out of power and a member of the crew took on a dozen personalities of people whose bodies were dying. He passed some others on to Daniel because he couldn't take any more.
Lots of acting from Daniel until Carter offers the alien caretaker a power source to revive the others and relocation in exchange for clearing the other personalities out of Daniel's head.
707 Enemy Mine
SG-1 is sent to a planet where Earth is prospecting for naquadah. Daniel decides there are Unas on the planet and he wants to negotiate with them. The Pentagon wants naquadah no matter what. Chaka, a Unas from earlier in the series, helps out. O'Neill is injured and the colonel in charge of the mining project is spoiling for a fight; until he finds himself up against a whole planetful of Unas! But Daniel is able to fix up a satisfactory trade agreement.
708 Space Race
A Setakin alien, Warrik, offers Earth a look at an ion drive in exchange for help winning a race. The first prize is a contract with the planet's biggest company. A cheesy TV service is following the race, and advertising everything under the sun. Carter and the alien soon find that there is dirty work going on. Teal'c and the alien's brother burgled the offices of TechCon, the race's sponsor. A human manager there wants to fix the race because he thinks the Setakin are holding humans back. Warrik and Carter manage only second place in the race but he gets a job and Carter gets an ion drive to study.
709 Avenger 2.0
Dr. Felger, the SGC's mad scientist, comes up with a virus to stop selected stargates working as a means of stopping the Goa'uld use the stargate system. Only the program shuts down the whole gate system, stranding O'Neill, Daniel and 13 other SG teams off-world. Carter and Felger end up stranded on a Goa'uld occupied planet when Felger finds that Baal modified his virus. Which means that Felger has to rewrite his anti virus program before he gets himself and Carter killed!
710 Birthright
SG-1 meets a band of Jaffa women led by Ishta (T'Pol from Cap'n Acula's Enterprise but with blonde hair), and she fancies Teal'c. The women are killing male Jaffa to steal their symbiotes so the Earthers offered them tritonin. Five volunteers try it and one dies. An extra stroppy lady, who challenges the leader, is brought into line when her much younger sister insists on having tritonin instead of a snake.
711 Evolution, Part 1
Teal'c and Bra'tac came up against a super soldier; a bad Goa'uld genetic engineering job which had a heart attack. Daniel & Dr. Lee headed for Honduras looking for an Ancients' device which might produce a weapon. Major Carter tried to paralyse a warrior with dart guns; but everyone ended up captured. Daniel and Dr. Lee were nearly drowned and bandits captured them. The warrior killed the Goa'uld Remius, so his Jaffa released O'Neill & Co. and they ringed the warrior aboard a flying pyramid. (Part 1 of 2)
712 Evolution, Part 2
O'Neill goes to rescue Daniel with a CIA agent with whom he has history, and who turns out to be less useless than O'Neill expected. Sam, her dad/Sel'mac and Teal'c go to do something about the super soldiers. The head of the South American bandits started messing with Daniel's find and goes berserk.
Sam and Co. blow up a Goa'uld queen, who is about to produce more symbiotes for super soldiers, after they find that Anubis has thousands of the super soldiers. And the Tok'ra get Daniel's device after he and Dr. Lee have been rescued. (Part 2 of 2)
713 Grace
Prometheus heads into a nebula after being shot at by aliens. Carter is knocked out and wakes up alone with Prometheus dropping to bits. She is visited by the rest of the SG-1 team (in spirit) and a little girl called Grace. Carter eventually works out that both ships are stuck in the nebula and she activates a hyperspace bubble to get both ships out of the nebula after the aliens have returned her crew. And at the end, the aliens conveniently bugger off.
714 Fall-Out
The Kelownans find that a naquadah deposit on their planet is changing into unstable naquadria, which could blow the planet to bits. Jonas Quinn goes to Earth for help. The planet is in danger of blowing up but representatives of the three nations into which it is divided, now at peace, just keep on arguing. Major Carter realizes that the change was triggered by the naquadria bomb test made by Jonas's country. But luckily, the Kelownans have developed a drilling machine.
Carter then discovers that Keana, a Goa'uld working for Lord Baal, helped to develop the machine and she has to go along to work some of the controls. The Goa'uld has become Jonas's girlfriend and she wants the naquadria as a means of obtaining power. Carter, Teal'c, Jonas and the Goa'uld have to drive a drilling machine a mile down to the naquadah seam to plant explosives.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, O'Neill gives up on diplomacy after telling Daniel that he is on his own. And Gen. Hammond eventually tells the Kelownans that Earth is had decided it's not worth relocating some of them on a friendly planet because the Kelownans are not fit to be inflicted on friends. Surprisingly, in the end, the Goa'uld does the decent thing and sacrifices herself to save everyone else. The symbiote dies but the host survives.
715 Chimera
This episode is unusual in that it lets us know that some of the team have homes to go to away from the SGC. Major Carter is romancing a detective while not telling him what she does for a living while Daniel is being visited at night by the Goa'uld Osiris, who is hosted by his former girlfriend Dr. Sarah Kane (Episode 413 The Curse).
Daniel keeps on turning up for work tired and he reports having strange dreams, in which Sarah wants him to translate a tablet. His colleagues work out that he's getting no sleep because Osiris is using a memory scanning gadget on him, looking for the location of the Ancients' lost city.
Pete learns that Sam works for some top-secret government outfit and spies on her. He sees SG-1 set up a trap for Osiris, who goes down shooting. The Tok'ra removed the symbiote, setting Sarah free, and Pete ends up in the hospital at the SGC, where Sam tells him what she really does for a living.
716 Death Knell
The Goa'uld attack the Alpha Site with super soldiers. Carter and her dad are developing a new weapon which can stop Anubis' new soldiers at the supposedly secret off-world base. Jacob Carter is found with the weapon after the attack but Sam is missing with a power pack of the weapon.
General Hammond tries to find out who leaked the location of the base, and the Jaffa and the Tok'ra are scrapping furiously. O'Neill leads a rescue mission and gets the weapon to Carter. She adds the power pack and the weapon takes out a super soldier. But the Alliance has reached its sell-by date and Tok'ra and Jaffa agree to go their separate ways.
717 Heroes, Part
A Mr. Bregman (the smarmy git out of The Equalizer) and a film unit arrive to document the work of the SGC; and get very little co-operation. Meanwhile, SG-13 finds the ruins of an Ancients' city. They are attacked and they have to destroy a Goa'uld flying robot. Major Carter finds out eventually that it sent a report to the Goa'uld.
Senator Kinsey tries to ingratiate himself with the film unit and Colonel O'Neill as a presidential election is up-coming. Jaffa arrived in a ship in response to the signal from the robot and attack the team at the city. So O'Neill leads a rescue mission. (Part 1 of 2)
718 Heroes, Part 2
While Bregman cuts together boring interviews at the SGC, someone (Col. O'Neill?) is killed during the off-planet rescue mission. Bregman has a good rant when the survivors won't talk to him. Senator Kinsey sends Woolsey of NID (the holographic doctor from Startrek Voyager) to investigate Gen. Hammond's command decisions. Woolsey carries a strong whiff of corruption, he gets about as much co-operation as the film unit and Hammond is able to slow him down by quoting from Woolsey's own reports on how much the lives of SGC personnel are worth in training costs.
Daniel has film of someone being killed. Gen. Hammond decides that Bregman might make a useful record of what goes on at the SGC to counterbalance Woolsey's secret report. So Bregman gets Daniel's tape of Dr. Fraiser being killed. Major Carter reads a list of people whose lives Dr. Fraiser has saved at her memorial service, and Daniel insists that Bregman uses his film when he wavers. Gen. Hammond decides he did a good job with the film and Bregman gets his interview with Col. O'Neill as a bonus.
719 Resurrection
SG-1 (minus Col. O'Neill) find 32 bodies at the base of a rogue NID cell in downtown L.A. CCTV shows everyone was killed by a young woman in a glass cage (Anna), but she pleaded innocence. The sole survivor is Dr. Keffler, an NID mad scientist with Nazi roots. He is unco-operative but Major Carter works out that he has created a human-Goa'uld clone using rapid-growth nanocytes, hoping to gain access to Goa'uld genetic knowledge.
Daniel uses a sketch made by Anna to open an arc; only to find it contains an activated Goa'uld bomb, which will take out Orange County. Carter realizes that Anna has a dual personality and Sekmet, her Goa'uld half, is gaining more and more control. Dr. Lee manages to turn off the bomb. Anna kills Keffler when she escapes from her box but he implanted a poison capsule in her brain, so she croaks too.
720 Inauguration
On his first day in office, a new president finds himself in a war between the military and Senator Kinsey (now vice-president) who wants to take over the SGC. This is a sort of ‘greatest hits' episode with each side presenting their case via clips from previous episodes.
The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warns the President that Anubis will come at Earth with his super-soldiers when he's finished with the System Lords but Hammond and SG-1 are close to finding the Ancient's lost city.
The NID auditor Mr. Woolsey (alias Cap'n Quack's holographic doctor) choses to do the right thing when Kinsey says that if the President fails to see things his way, ‘things happen', and he goes to Gen. Hammond. His reward is a copy of the dirt on Kinsey recovered by O'Neill and Col. Maybourne (Episode 415 Chain Reaction), which he passes on to Mr. President.
721 The Lost City, Part 1
The President wants Dr. Elizabeth Weir, a UN negotiator, to head the SGC and give it a friendly human face, and Vice-President Kinsey wants her under his thumb. Meanwhile, Colonel O'Neill downloads another copy of the Library of the Ancients into his brain off-world, just ahead of a Goa'uld attack.
The SGC is shut down for 3 months then Bra'tac arrives to warn the Tau'ri that Anubis will reach Earth in 3 days! Anubis wants the location of the Lost City of the Ancients, which is somewhere in O'Neill's head, and Earth's only hope of survival is to get there first.
O'Neill starts to use the Ancients' knowledge, knowing that he will be dead in a week without help from the Asgard. Teal'c and Bra'tac go to Chulak in search of rebel warriors and ships to defend Earth in case SG-1 doesn't find any weapons at the Lost City. (Part 1 of 2)
722 The Lost City, Part 2
In a ship crewed by Bra'tac and another Jaffa, SG-1 head for what they think is the planet of the lost city after O'Neill locates it while doing a crossword! Meanwhile, Anubis turns up and Vice-President Kinsey makes trouble. SG-1 reaches a planet covered with lava and circling a red giant. They ring down to a bubble in the lava and discover it isn't the real Lost City. But they are able to get hold of a power source and the info that the Lost City is near where the Antarctic stargate was situated. SG-1 returns to their spaceship in time for O'Neill to heal Bra'tac after the other Jaffa, who is loyal to Anubis, stabs him.
Back on Earth, a power failure at the SGC stops Kinsey from escaping off-world. General Hammond takes charge of Prometheus and attacks the Goa'uld forces while SG-1 melt their way through a mile of ice. Then O'Neill unleashs what look like ghosts to zap the bad guys. On his last legs, O'Neill ends up in stasis. And it isn't the Lost City under the Antarctic ice, just an Ancients' outpost. So the Lost City is still lost and it may contain something to unfreeze O'Neill. (Part 2 of 2)

Dr. Weir is still in charge of the SGC, Anubis' attack on Earth is being covered up, Col. O'Neill is still in stasis and Teal'c has hair! Major Carter and Teal'c go to where the humanoid Replicators (HRs) were frozen in time. Their aim is to contact the Asgard (to get O'Neill unfrozen) but they end up parked next to a black hole created by Thor to destroy the HRs. The Goa'uld System Lords want a treaty with Earth and to use the Ancients' fantastic weapon against Baal, who has Anubis' Super Soldiers.
Thor saves Carter and Teal'c but the HRs escape from the event horizon, head for the Asgard's new planet and beam Carter off Thor's ship so that the HR (Fifth) betrayed by SG1 can stick his fingers in her head! The Replicator ship is zapped by the Asgard but we all know Carter had to be somewhere else at the time; presumably with the HRs. And at the end, the Goa'uld sent a ship to attack Earth to find out if the weapon can be used again.

Major Carter is being wooed by the humanoid Relicator Fifth, who got away from the general destruction on the new Asgard homeworld. O'Neill is promoted to Brigadier and put in charge of the SGC, Carter becomes a Lt.-Colonel and the humanoid Replicator builds his own, personal Sam Carter!
803 Lockdown
The ISS is having serious problems and a Colonel Vasilov arrives at the SGC wanting to take over the SG1 team. Vasilov collapses and Daniel starts shooting people, so Brigadier O'Neill orders a lockdown of the facility, suspecting an infection is being transmitted around the place. Anubis, drifting in Earth orbit with wreckage from his ship, has hitched a ride with a cosmonaut on the ISS and he arrived at the SGC inside Vasilov intending to use the stargate to get away. Daniel wants to force the Ancients to deal with Anubis but he gets into O'Neill and dials out. But Vasilov, now dying, persuades Anubis to use him as a host instead of O'Neill and they disappear through the stargate. Only Colonel Carter redialled it to a frozen planet!
804 Zero hour
Brigadier O'Neill is having a stressful time. He has a new civilian aide, who is spying on him, and it's decisions, decisions all day long. SG1 goes to a world containing a secret base, which Baal isn't supposed to know about. They disappear and an alien plant takes over the whole SGC, causing multiple power failures. Baal offers to swap SG1 for Camulus, the Goa'uld who'd asked for asylum in espisode 802.
Camulus gives up the location of a Zero Point Module, which can be used to power the Ancients' weapon in Antarctica. Only he's booby trapped it. SG1 return at last; they were trapped in the secret base not kidnapped; O'Neill sends Camulus to sort out Baal with a ZPM, not telling him it is the dead one used up in repelling Anubis. The civilian aide has been auditing O'Neill ahead of a visit by the president, and in the end, O'Neill decides not to send his resignation to General Hammond.
805 Icon
The arrival of the SG 1 team on a new planet proves to religious nutters that their gods (the Goa'uld) are real and the visit destabilizes one of the 2 powers in a Cold War stand-off. So the missiles are launched and the cities are wiped out. And Jack O'Neill ended up having to rescue Daniel from the fanatics.
806 Avatar
Teal'c becomes trapped in a virtual reality training machine, fighting an incursion of Super Soldiers into the SGC in a programme that will end only if Teal'c wins or quits.

O'Neill won't have a memorial service for Daniel because he doesn't believe he's dead and he's shacked with a female CIA agent. Daniel is in a diner, a stop-off on the road to either ascension again or being dead. He keeps arguing with Oma, who helped him to ascend last time, and a fat bloke, protesting fruitlessly about the Ascended taking no notice of Anubis' plans to destroy the galaxy.

Selmec is dying and he can't keep Jacob alive when he goes. The fat man tells Daniel that Oma was tricked into helping Anubis to ascend. Anubis can't be killed by Oma or Daniel and watching him rampage is punishment for Oma from the Ascended. Daniel realized the fat man is Anubis.

O'Neill with claims that he has been seeing visions of SG-1's missions for 7 years and they've ruined his life. His obsession with SG1 has cost him his business, his marriage and his home. He has tried writing out the stories, no one wants to hear them any more and he has received 326 rejections from publishers.
Joe has the same Ancient gene as O'Neill and O'Neill calmly announces he has been seeing flashes of Joe's life for 7 years but he didn't bother to mention them.

And in the end, Joe gets to introduce his wife to O'Neill to prove he isn't nuts.
