When a scientist working on stem cell research disappears,
Carter, Teal'c and Jonas investigate and discover that the
scientist's town is infested with Goa'uld who can only control
the townspeople by night. Will Carter, Teal'c and Jonas be
taken over next?...
Nightwalkers
is Stargate's attempt at a homage to the horror genre. If
you like Night of the Living Dead etc. then you'll
find this most amusing. There are also subtle references woven
into the script that pay homage to Psycho and various
other horror movies which is a great touch. Sadly, this is
the only episode to not feature Richard Dean Anderson and
it suffers greatly for this. And Jonas is still eating in
almost every scene.
A
below par episode, but still watchable. There was also a hint
of The X-Files plot here, with aliens assimilating
humans in a bid to take over the World. I was never really
sure why they'd bother to try and infiltrate mankind this
way though.
A Goa'uld lord holds O'Neill captive and tortures him for
information about the Tok'ra. As O'Neill suffers, Daniel Jackson
appears and offers support. Meanwhile, SG-1 races to rescue
O'Neill before it's too late...
At
the heart of Abyss is a 10 minute story and the ability
to spin this out to 45 minutes is quite an achievement. This
episode also features the return of Michael Shanks as Daniel
Jackson. The scenes between Shanks and Anderson are extremely
powerful, but there really should have been more to this episode.
Jonas is conflicted when an old professor from his home
planet asks SG-1 to help stage a coup against the Kelownan
government in order to stop a civil war. Should SG-1 allow
the planet to destroy itself... or are they placing themselves
in needless danger?...
Shadow
Play
is an intriguing episode that will have you questioning what
on Earth is going on until the final chapter. The episode
features Dean (Quantum Leap) Stockwell as Jonas' old
professor friend. One question I had was why were SG-1 prepared
to bypass official channels to acquire what they wanted? Why
were they so keen to contact the underground movement?
An
excellent episode.
Two bumbling scientists working on an off-world research project
witness SG-1 getting captured in a Goa'uld raid and, defying
orders, attempt to rescue it. Little do they know that SG-1
staged the capture in order to infiltrate the Goa'uld and
make contact with a Tok'ra informant...
The
Other Guys is one of, if not the funniest SG-1 episode
to be produced. This pokes fun at the hard-core science fiction
fans (you know, the ones who own all the Starship Enterprise
blueprints and can speak Klingon). John Billingsley (Enterprise's
Doctor Phlox) has a fantastic guest role here as one of the
scientists and the whole of the show is played for laughs.
Fantastic.
This DVD comes equipped with the usual collection of extras,
including an SG-1: Director's Series behind the scenes
look at Shadow Play and The Other Guys and commentaries
for all episodes. On this disc Christopher Judge (Teal'c)
also joins in the commentary on two of the episodes which
is refreshing.
A
worthy addition to your SG-1 collection.
