The Enemy Within (102)

[The Stig]

it was a shame they got rid of kawalsky but it was good to see that Teal'c finally proved himself. it was pretty underated,

I just though how funny it would be if the Goa'uld took over the chevron guy.

In "Avatar", Siler gets the glowing eyes treatment, but Walter never did!

They should have done it in a parody episode. :/

I liked how they did the music in the operation scene, really fitting and helping the tension up...

like it. but sad how kawalsky died. kinda like his character, but maybe they only wanted to focus on oneill. nice little continuation of the pilot. didnt like it much the first time around, thought was kinda boring but on the ...like fourth time ^^ nice to see how tealc proved his loyality to our world.
gave it an 8/10.

I'm a big fan of this episode. Jay Acovone is a superb actor, and his portrayal of Kawalsky was very well done.

It seems that for me, the first episode after the pilot is generally pretty poor (most of the Star Trek series, Atlantis' second episode wasn't great, "Air, part 3" from Universe) but "The Enemy Within" added so much to the series - Goa'uld possession, the start of the almost constant need for validation of the SGC and Teal'c's loyalty to the USAF and Government, the complete formation of SG-1. It also stands up very well when viewed years later, unlike certain other first season episodes.

8/10.

Yes, I've always been happy to see the actor.

When he and Amanda did that scene in the elevator, he pushed and Amanda threw herself backward a bit to hard. She ended up with a concussion! Sam sliding down the wall was Amanda sliding down the wall.

This was a perfect episode to follow the pilot. Absolutely. One of my favorites from season 1, though seeing Kawalsky go didn't exactly made me jump for joy. But the fact that I was not super happy to see him go is just a sign that the writers and the actors did great job with this episode.

I loved the political debate over Teal'c situation as well. A great plotline to include, as well as very necessary one.

This was a great episode, Hammond was so strong but poor Kawalsky.

[maneth]

Great ep, loved Teal'c. What a shame about Kawalsky...

[Vagabond Serpent]

Quite good episode. Keeps you tense and hoping that this snake will be pulled out of Kawalsky, but... I think if he would stay in the show it'd go in a very different way sometimes... But there TPTB showed that the Goa'Uld are the threat.

EDIT: 7/10

Woah really? Poor Amanda. (she's tough though. )

I particularly like this episode because it shows you about how the Goa'uld can be. I mean they take you as hosts and nothing of the host survives. But I though the moment when Kawalsky (aka the Goa'uld) grabs Sam and puts his hand on her mouth, that was a bit intense.. Then of course he takes her kinda as a hostage.

Sad moment for Kawalsky I really liked that guy
