This marks the first appearance of the P-90 sub-machine gun to replace the MP-5s used as the primary weapons of SG-1.

This our first introduction of the P90 into the Stargate SG-1 universe and it not only replaces the MP-5 almost exclusively on the show, but becomes the "signature" weapon for the SG-1 team. The change from the MP-5 to the P90 was done for two reasons. 1. The P90 submachine gun is a much more powerful gun, with a much larger magazine than the MP-5. It proves to be much more effective against the Unas in this episode, and although we don't truly see its powers demonstrated until 'The Warrior' in Season 5, it does makes short work of Jaffa as well. 2. The P90 is very distinctive and until it's use on Stargate SG-1, had not been used on scifi/action television shows. It very quickly became not just a P90, but "SG-1's gun".

When preparing to rescue Daniel Jack says that they will be carrying P90's, referring to the FN P-90. The P90 is a sub-machine gun chambered in 5.7x28 mm NATO, whereas the MP-5's they previously used were chambered in 9x19 mm Parabellum. The P90 has a smaller bullet than the MP5 (.22 caliber versus .38 caliber) but it has a longer cartridge and therefore substantially more power; the average muzzle velocity of a 9 mm is 1,200 feet per second (365 meters per second) while the muzzle velocity of the 5.7 mm is 2,800 feet per second (850 meters per second). Which makes the P90 a superior weapon when it comes to armor penetration, which is something they deal with when encountering the Jaffa; it would often take a number of rounds from a MP5 to penetrate their armor whereas the P90 can do it with a single round.

This is much like Enterprise: Dawn (2003) and the Unas looked quite similar to Zo'Kaan. Daniel was developing communication with the Unas like Trip was doing with Zo'Kaan.

This episode really focuses on Daniel, who has been abducted by an Unas with whom he gradually learns to communicate (a bit). Once more, his constant comments make for some hilarious moments. Despite becoming a real veteran, he still remains the same blundering scholar he used to be -minus the sneezes, though. The Unas (Sha'ka) is very well done, you can actually decipher his expressions and most of what he means. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is not idle, but has to deal with their late discovery that this planet, the Goa'uld home world, is teeming with larvae. By the time they realise it, however, some of them have already been taken over, and Teal'c's strategy to detect them is, here again, both very clever and comically Teal'cesque.

Finally, this is an opportunity to learn some new things about the Goa'uld, where they came from (and the fact that they really haven't changed at all). Incidentally, we also learn that Jaffa cannot become hosts, which was implicit but had never been really mentioned.

Daniel is working at an archaeological dig with Dr. Robert Rothman when they find the skeleton of an ancient Goa'uld. Out of the blue, Daniel is abducted by a Unas that kills a SG-11 soldier. Dr. Rothman returns to the SGC and the SG-1 travels to the planet with a rescue team to seek out Daniel. Out of the blue, Teal'c tells that one member of the search party is possessed by a Goa'uld and nobody can be trusted. Meanwhile Daniel tries to communicate with the Unas and he concludes that the Unas is young and has just been challenged by the alpha male of his tribe.

"The First Ones" is an episode that shows the place where the Goa'uld came from. Daniel is abducted but uses his knowledge to improve the situation and befriend the alien. However the plot is weak and not engaging. My vote is six.
