Summary

Children of the Gods
|
(90-minute pilot, broken into two episodes for syndication.) With the Stargate Program almost completely shut down, Apophis comes through Earth's stargate, killing several soldiers and kidnapping a sergeant. Jack O'Neill is recalled from retirement, and sent through the stargate to fetch Daniel Jackson. Apophis kidnaps Daniel's wife and brother-in-law shortly thereafter, and Daniel joins the SGC specifically to get his wife back. SG-1 is formed (Jack, Daniel, Samantha Carter) and heads for Chulak along with SG-2 -- they fail to rescue Sha're and Skaara, but save a lot of prisoners, and win Teal'c to their side. Before they make it home, Kawalsky is infested with a Goa'uld.

The Enemy Within

The Goa'ulded Kawalsky attempts to escape the SGC, but is captured. Surgery to remove the symbiote fails, and Jack and Teal'c must team up to kill Kawalsky. Teal'c's actions in helping to save the base win him a spot on SG-1.

The Nox
|
When the DoD starts complaining about how little advanced tech the SGC has recovered, Teal'c volunteers knowledge of a planet with an invisible animal.

Bloodlines

Teal'c is increasingly worried about the son he left behind, who is now old enough for his Prim'ta. He admits to having a family, and SG-1 goes to Chulak to save the boy. But Rya'c is very ill, and without a symbiote won't survive.

Fire and Water
|
Jack, Sam, and Teal'c return to the SGC convinced that Daniel has died horribly in fire. While they get debriefed and hold a memorial service and wake, Daniel is being interrogated in an underwater dome by Nem, an alien looking for traces of his mate, lost to him 4,000 years ago.

Hathor

Hathor is awakened from her sarcophagus in a Mayan temple, and finds her way to the SGC, where she proceeds to put all the men on base under her "spell" by breathing a pink chemical on them. The women figure out what's going on, and with Teal'c's help they save the base.

Singularity
|
Nirrti wipes out an SG team and almost all the Hankans, except one -- Cassandra. SG-1 finds her and brings her home, only to discover that she's a living booby-trap -- Nirrti has planted a bomb in her chest. They move her to a safe facility where the bomb won't hurt anyone else, which turns out to be far enough away from the stargate to deactivate it.
|
|
Cor-Ai

|
Enigma
|
On a world being destroyed by massive volcanic activity, SG-1 comes across a handful of survivors, and brings them back to the SGC.

Solitudes

Jack and Sam are separated from Daniel and Teal'c while gating home, and land on what they believe is an ice planet. In reality, they're in Antarctica, where they came through a second stargate buried in an ice cave.
|
|
Tin Man
|
In an underground facility on Altair, SG-1's bodies and neural patterns are copied as robots -- who are unaware they're anything but the originals. When the truth comes out, the robot team is forced by circumstances to stay behind on Altair while the original team returns home.

|
There But for the Grace of God
|
Daniel touches a quantum mirror, which instantly shifts him to an alternate reality. He gates home, to find a different world, one where Jack is the general in charge of the SGC, Daniel himself has nothing to do with it, and Apophis's forces, led by Teal'c, have been busily conquering the world. Daniel figures out where the attack was launched from, and flees home to bring them the information to prevent a similar attack.

Politics

Senator Kinsey arrives at the SGC, convinced it's too big, too secret, too dangerous, and too expensive, and after reviewing several mission files, shuts the program down. (Clip episode.)

|
Within the Serpent's Grasp (1)
|
Daniel, still convinced an attack by ship is imminent, talks the rest of SG-1 into going through the gate to the coordinates he brought back from the alternate reality. They wind up on Klorel's mothership, on its way to destroy Earth. They plant C-4 all over the place to blow the ship, then realize that they're much closer to Earth than they thought, and Apophis's ship will be unharmed.
