Within the Serpent's Grasp (121)

[SF_and_Coffee]

Jack swearing in situations like this always sounds quite realistic to me, given that someone like him in real life (his job, his career, his background) would likely use far more profanity than was ever used in the series.

IMO this was the best episode of Season 1. I liked how Ferretti appeared in this episode, though I don't know why he wasn't around more often. One of the best cliffhangers of the series.

Holy crap I just noticed, Mike Dopud is in this episode!

Very very briefly at the 41:01 mark. Just as Sam and Daniel are busting into the peltak to rescue the captured Jack and Teal'c, Daniel hides behind a pillar to avoid getting zatted. The Serpent guard firing the zat is none other than our favourite Mr Dopud!

This sets up the classic story telling of SG1 running around Goauld (and later Ori) ships. It also introduces zats. I understand the writers regretted the 3 shot rule of zats but it always annoyed more that SG1 didn't vaporize their enemies more to be more stealthy.

I like how this has action and character emotion. The action is obvious as they run around trying to destroy the Hataks heading towards Earth. I like the character interaction we see as SG1 try to rescue Skarra. Its interesting to note Threshold contradicts this episode when Teal'c says he has never been on a hatak before

Did he get credit? Or was it an uncredited role..

I didn't see his name in the end credits, and he has no actor credit for it in imdb. He has a stunts credit for SG-1 in 1997 though (no specific episode) so he must have just been one of the stunt guys who was in that day. Fun little appearance to find for us who got to know him later on

It was another Sunday afternoon and...now the final ep of SG1 S1(note I did rewatch this before the end of August).

1. "I'd feel like an idiot"

2. Did not expect them to be on an actual ship.

3. Had forgotten about Skarra stopping the priest from removing Teal'c's symbiote.

4. And then the jawdropper of two giant pyramids heading to Earth, a scene I was raving about in RL for some time.

What a great way to end an already top notch first season. I am so happy i got to see these episodes on SyFy as I never had to sit through long months between the two cliffhangers. There was plenty of action and character conflict to keep you glued to the tv (or monitor) for the entire bit. I will finally be starting season 2 next week and hopefully by November 1 I will be caught up to the Rewatch schedule

Skaara's a fighter (for the greater good) at heart, always has been and I like to think he always will be...

I don't like that they are attacking Earth
Now I hate the Goa'ulds a lot!

Did you previously like them?

I had to google Mike Dopud to see who he was. I had no idea that he would appear later but I immediately recognized him from one of the first few pics that came up. I never noticed how many times (or that any) actors were reused throughout the Stargate franchise until discovered the wikis and came here. I may have to compile a list when I'm bored. I can imagine that some may or may not be harder to catch.

There's a thread around somewhere that lists as many actors as people could think of who kept popping up throughout SG1, SGA, and SGU.

[Major Clanger]

finally finished my first rewatch of S1 in about 10 years. wow, great cliffhanger.

The Zats are too annoying, as are all the hidey-hole opportunities to get away from the vogons er... Jaffa who march around the ship and do nothing.

[Falcon Horus]

Still as excited about this episode as I was when I first saw it, and I have seen it a few times now. SG1 go rogue to save the planet...

First time we see hyperspace and the effects it has on people who are not used to travelling at such velocity ("O'Neill, prepare for..." *thwack against the console he goes* "...extreme decalliration"). First time in the show we're on a Goa'uld ship. I have to say that I have always liked the design of it, both inside and outside. Maybe a little too much gold, but I guess that suits beings who impersonate the many deities Earth was rich at the time the Tauri were enslaved.

The look on their faces when they see Earth, and realize Daniel's prediction is about to become a reality. I really would have liked to have seen Kinsey's face though... Wonder what he would be thinking that moment. "Oh ****..." would probably not cover it.

Skaara/Klorel ... back in the flesh.

Oh, and concerning armory... chainmail sleeves really don't wrinkle. Now that I'm paying more attention to detail, it annoys me more and more every time I see a Jaffa in full fake armor. Even the Jaffa out of armor, aren't even wearing (fake) leather hauberks.
