Tähevärav SG-1 Solitudes (1997–2007) Online

Daniel and Teal'c return to SG-1 after a Goa'uld attack; however Jack and Sam do not arrive and the Stargate damages. Out of order, the technical team needs 24 hours to repair the malfunctioning Stargate. Meanwhile Jack and Sam arrive in a cave at an icy planet and they discover that Jack has broken his leg and rib and they are short of provisions. Where might they be?

"Solitudes" is another good episode of "Stargate". Jack and Sam have to fight to survive in a tough environment and in the end, Daniel uses his brains and finds where they are. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Solitudes"

This is for me what SG-1 should be. A series taking place in space with mission that are solved with difficulties. Th e entry 1.15 and 1.16 were laughable and even a bit boring sometimes and I started to ask myself what the hype was and still is surrounding SG-1. But by viewing this episode I'm back on track.

When SG-1 arrives on a mission on P4A-771 they are immediately under fire from Goa'uld troopers. No hesitation and they enter the stargate to return to base but only Teal'c and Dr. Daniel Jackson return but not only that, the stargate is damaged too. Out of order as it is Captain Carter and Colonel O'Neill are awakening on a icy planet. But due the damage of the stargate they are hurt too, the Colonel has a broken leg and rib. Nothing seems to work and they are on their own. Excellent from that moment on with a few good jokes when Carter is sharing the bed with O'Neill. You see it coming, is it your gun or...A rescue mission has to be sent but were are they?

Suspense and good effects once we see the icy planet. This is what it should be. I admit, it's a low budget series but here they show that it can be done.

This was the episode that brought be back from the brink of giving up on Stargate after a terribly written season 1. Maybe the writers were trying to find their groove, they sure found it here.

*SPOILER ALERT*

The episode begins with Teal'c and Daniel being flung back to Earth through the Stargate. Believing Carter and O'Neill were right behind them, we would later figure out they were redirected to another Stargate after the wormhole was overloaded.

Intense recovery missions ensue but turn up empty. Folks, this is where brilliant storytelling begins. Carter blows me away with the best acting I've seen so far. It's pretty obvious she's the De Niro of the cast.

The dialogue between Carter and O'Neill in the cave was amazingly written. Carter alternating her focus between fixing the DHD to get them home and tending to O'Niells injuries just added another layer of intrigue. Carters frustration with the inability to get the Stargate working and O'Neill seemingly on the verge of death brought out character I didn't think she had. (it would later be revealed why the DHD didn't wanna work despite being repaired and in perfect working condition)

After a few clues (that I embarrassingly didn't pick up on) Daniel realizes Carter and O'Neill weren't redirected to another world they were actually redirected to a 2nd Stargate on Earth. Holy Twist, Batman! This was brilliant writing here. Layer upon layer. Something I hadn't seen very much of during season 1.

The only gripe I had here was when they figured out they were located in Antartica. With a seemingly dead O'Neill how the team mounted a rescue in time to save him is beyond me. It must take a few days to travel to Antartica from the US. O'Neill bleeding internally... and in a frozen cave he would've been a frozen popsicle by then. TV logic at its finest.

Season 1 has a knack for having hysterical logic. Luckily the storytelling here gives them a pass this one time.

Still an excellent episode. 9/10
