Not a great ep IMO but it nicely established how dangerous the Goa'uld are.

Poor Kawalsky

Wow bmc your commenting on like every episode, anyways, back to the topic, yah, i didn't think it wasnt good or bad, but i do agree, it did clearly show how evil they are

[bcmilco]

What can I say they looked so lonely with no comments and I fingured I'd try and start some... something

Besides, you should talk

I didn't see this ep until I got the first series on VHS. It made no sense to me, until I realised that the vids were numbered out of order! I kind of liked this ep, but I really wanted Kawalsky to be a regular character. Still, it was not to be.

[Elwe Singollo]

I wasn't too 'interested' in watching Kawalsky every week, but i did think he would be in more than 3 episodes (although he was).

I liked Teal'c and Jack in this one,The story was sorta off somehow, and I personally didn't care for Kowalski, I couldn't say why. But Teal'c was cool, and the way they sliced off the back of Kowalski's head to kill the Goa'uld was good. I wonder how Jack knew that the Stargate would do that?

He didn't know it would do that and they were trying to cut off the back of his head.

They were just trying to prevent him from leaving so that they could continue to try to save him. However he was partial in the gate and from Jack's angle he probably couldn't tell that so he shut it down, killing Kawalsky.

[Elwe Singollo]

Didn't Jack tell Teal'c to hold his head there though?

[bcmilco]

Okay I just went to look at the transcripts and this what they say about it:

O'NEILL
Teal'c! Hold him there!

TEAL'C pushes KAWALSKY'S head back into the event horizon.

O'NEILL
Shut it down! Now!

I always took that part of the scene to be an accident.

Although I suppose it makes sense when you consider Kawalsky asked to be killed if they couldn't get the goa'uld out. *shrugs* So I guess you were right.

[KorbenDirewolf]

Well, in Stargate O'Neill sees Anubis killed by the rings, so maybe he guessed that the gate would have a similar effect.

[Newbie]

hey even if he didn't know it was still a good try....but i think it's just that JACK has a higher IQ then he pretends to have...and just scientifically guessed what would happen

[Selmak]

This episode further illustrates how the Goa'uld take over hosts.

[AgentX]

I liked The Enemy Within. It further illustrates how the Goa'uld operate, and how dangerous they really are. It also showed how, when given atough decision to make O'Neill can make it. His friend wanted death and Kowalski got it - I don't think it was by accident.

[aAnubiSs]

We lost one of the more interesting people in this ep :/

[Selmak]

To bad for Kawalsky... we did get to see him in one of the alternate reality episodes.

[Bagpuss]

We lost one of the more interesting people in this ep :/

In a particularly horrible way too,IMO !
(OK,I admit it,I really didn't like the ending....even though it was a plot necessity.I just have a low "Squick" threshold ! )

[Selmak]

They could have used another character to demonstrate the Goa'uld thing... It didn't have to be a good character like Kawalsky.

[Selmak]

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