Tähevärav SG-1 Demons (1997–2007) Online

SG-1 arrives on a planet where a culturally 'medieval Catholic' community lives in fear of a demon of Unas's species, which regularly collects human sacrifices to Satan, in fact hosts for system lord Sokar's army. When Simon implores SG-1 to spare his beloved Mary and take him instead, they even nurse her chicken pox. Simon hopes they are sent by God to deliver them from the satanic burden, but the canon who rules the village as 'spiritual' leader faithful to Sokar fears his authority challenged, which rests on his right to select the 'damned soul' to be sacrificed, declares Teal'c a demon and incarcerates all SG-1. Witch-trial-type ordeals see the Jaffa 'proven' a demon and executed by drowning, Daniel refuses the canon's to leave immediately. When Teal'c's symbiote allows a resurrection even Sam hadn't expected, they are all designated possessed and sacrificed, yet Mary is also. Simon follows the Unas with a staff weapon to liberate them, but he's not alone.

Daniel states that trepanning was a common medieval practice and his reaction implies that it means almost certain death. Drilling holes in someone's skull to let the bad out was very common for a very long time in most cultures. Up to 10% of all stone age skulls discovered have evidence of trepanning and most of those show bone restructuring at the edges of the hole, meaning the patient lived long enough for the wound to heal. Think about that; in an age when the most advanced tool was a sharp rock, not only was trepanning common but it was commonly survived.

The SG-1 travels to a planet where the inhabitants are Catholic and live in the correspondent Middle Ages on Earth. They meet the woman Mary ready to be sacrificed because she has chicken pox and her husband explains that demons that come from the Stargate periodically collect human sacrifices to Satan. However, Jack realizes that the demons are Unas indeed and Satan is Sokar that needs new hosts. The SG-1 unsuccessfully try to convince the locals that they could fight and kill the Unas, but their leader tells that they are demons and subdue them using a powerful ring. Now the SG-1 joins Mary and they are chained for the sacrifice. How will they escape?

"Demons" is another good episode of Stargate that uses the Dark Ages to show a people that might have come from Earth but still live in this period of history. The film is highly entertaining and well resolved, despite the weapons and gears of the SG-1 be left behind what was absolutely forbidden in "Star Trek". My vote is eight.

There are hints during the story that the people in the village could have come from Earth. This is unlikely to the point of being impossible. During the Dark Ages, both Stargates on Earth were buried (one in Egypt, the other in Antarctica) so the only way the Goa'uld could have arrived on Earth is by ship.

Whatever caused their departure during the Egyptian era was no longer relevant, therefore it is much more likely that they would have re-established themselves on Earth. If they had gone to this much trouble to get back here, surely they wouldn't merely have abducted a few hundred people and drop them on an otherwise abandoned planet; they would have used them as slave labor or Jaffa.

Even if they should, for whatever reason, select just to take victims, the ships large enough to accomplish this (most likely Al'Kesh) would surely have been noticed in the air by those in surrounding villages. As a result, there would have been historical mention of this fact (which does not exist).

This episode has an interesting premise, but to suggest that they had been taken from Earth 1000-1500 years ago defies continuity.
