Having
sustained an injury during an alien attack Carter awakens
to find herself abandoned on the Prometheus and trapped
in an unexplored nebula. Can she find a way out of the nebula
before it destroys her ship, and only way home?...
Grace
represents a bit of a sci-fi cliché. The Prometheus
comes under attack and Carter is knocked unconscious, and
when she awakes she is the only one left on board. But, as
she tries to turn the ship around and go home, other members
of SG-1, as well as her father, keep appearing to here and
offering advice. Is she dreaming or suffering a near-death
experience?
I
won't spoil the ending, but being Stargate you know
that the conclusion is not going to be what you expect.
This
episode also sees Carter admit her feelings for O'Neill. Okay,
I know there was a very subtle hint that there was some physical
attraction in the last volume, but didn't we get over all
that stuff in the first season? Going back to it now, for
no real good reason, seems a little odd.
Jonas
Quinn returns to SGC with news that the naquadria mines of
Kelowna are not native to his world and are threatening to
cause an explosion that could wipe out his world. Can SG-1
help before millions die?...
Fallout sees Corin Nemic return not only as an actor,
but as the originator of the story. There are two main narratives
in this episode. The first concentrates on coping with political
differences, where different parties spend more time arguing
over silly little points rather than getting on with trying
to save their people. The second concentrates on scientific
discovery and bears more than a passing resemblance to the
movie The Core - with members of SG-1 burrowing a few
miles under Kelowna's service in a huge drilling machine.
The
suspense works well and what we end up with is a strong story,
but one with a rather rushed conclusion.
Daniel
experiences strange dreams centred on his possible knowledge
of the Lost City of the Ancients. Carter, O'Neill and Teal'c
think Daniel's mind is being manipulated against his will
and must find a way to help him...
Chimera
sees the return of Daniel's old girlfriend Sarah (now
better known as Osiris). It also sees Carter grab herself
a new boyfriend... and you know what that usually means -
instant death for the poor sap. Or does it? Could this be
the one? Or will he end up dead before the credits roll? You'll
have to watch the episode to find out.
A
good all round story, which only really falters when Carter
falls in love with her brother's best friend too quickly and
finds it really hard not to spill her guts about SG-1. Surely
she would have been a bit tougher. The whole reason for having
a cover is so that people don't ask about your job. Carter's
cover is so dull, that even she feels like she can't hide
the truth from anyone who mocks her job... at least that's
how it seems.
After
the Alpha site is compromised, Carter flees from a super warrior
with a piece of technology that may be key to defeating Anubis'
new army. With the enemy on her trail O'Neill and Teal'c race
to find her before it's too late!...
Death
Knell sees the return of Anubis's super warriors. But,
no sooner has a mean bad guy appeared on the scene, than a
new super weapon is introduced which can kill what was once
thought unstoppable.
This
episode also deals with the power struggle in the ranks of
the Tok'ra - who suffer from a certain amount of Racism.
Peter
DeLuise and Amanda Tapping provide the commentary, which is
easily the most entertaining in this volume. DeLuise spends
a lot of time discussing farting and Amanda "dirty girl"
Tapping's sexy scenes with DeLuise's brother in the episode
Chimera.
An
above average episode.
Extras
on this collection include SG-1 Director's series: Death
Knell with Peter DeLuise and SG-1 Beyond the Gate:
Richard Dean Anderson - which is one of the best interviews
that has been included so far. This takes us outside of Stargate
to show us a couple of charitable projects that Richard Dean
Anderson is involved with.
