Ok campers, this first time we see the Self destruct sequence in
place, we already see the iris (made of titanium) working in the
first episode. The Goa'uld keep sending people through the
gate to attack Earth, like bugs on a windshield, poor guys.
Kawalski is a pain (errr to Gen Hammond oops) has a pain in the
neck/head. He is ordered to get it checked out. O'Neill's
request to have Teal'c on the team is denied (there's
a surprise!) and he tries to get it overturned in his usual charismatic
way, not!
We meet Dr Warner for the first time... Oh please for the day
that ole Dr Fraiser graces the screen because he is sooooo the most
boring Doc.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Teal'c is interrogated by Colonel
Kennedy and a really ugly looking PA officer (sorry but she would
be described as a geek by Jack). It is explained that Earth could
be the origin of all slaves... the myth that is the Tau'ri.
New teams learn how to dial home in Carter and Jackson style... DHD
(dial home device for newbies, get with the lingo) is like a telephone
people, pay attention! Are you still with me here? No falling asleep
during the technobabble now!
Dr Nimzeki is killed by Kawalski, oooh you nasty boy. Daniel's
coffee addiction is discovered by Sam, who persuades him to get
some sleep. As he goes to a bunk room, he discovers the dead Nimzeki
(ewww), no rest for the coffee addict.
Warner orders an MRI on Kawalski, he is better than young Nimzeki
in my opinion and discovers the symbiote or parasite as he calls
it (snake to us) in Kawalski, setting off the alarm. Kawalski (now
a Goa'uld or snakehead) captures Carter. It is then a battle
to get rid of the snake. It is immature and therefore cannot take
total control of Kawalski. Poor guy goes through a blinkin
nightmare. Kennedy wants to take Kawalski for testing to the NID,
instead of operating. Kennedy gets a pasting from Hammond, who threatened
by Kennedy's superiors, plays his Presidential card. Yay ole
Hammy boy!
There is a nice little interaction with the buddies Kawalski and
O'Neill; he wants his stereo if he dies, is nothing sacred!
The operation is declared a success even though the slimy snake
has taken control. He knocks out Teal'c and gets to the "embarkation
room" (yeah I know... it's the Gateroom). He sets the
self-destruct and dials Chulak. Teal'c waits for him and they
have a nice little set to (fight, fight! Handbags at dawn!). They
shut the wormhole down as Kawalski's head is in it. not
a nice way to go. Bye, bye Kawalski. The episode ends with our beloved
team together in its entirety (including good ole Teal'c)
as they go forth to explore strange new worlds such as P3-575.
