Already episode 11 in the first season and for me Stargate had it flows. It so strange that Stargate became a cult success because so far there wasn't that much of science-fiction to watch but I must say that it really is the acting that kept you watching. Colonel Jack, Dr. Daniel, Captain Carter and Teal'c they all fit together perfectly.
But somehow I enjoyed the episodes even as it is really low budget. That doesn't of course mean a thing, just have a look at Star Trek. We already went deeper into the past of Colonel Jack but this time we go deeper into the past of Teal'c.
By now we do know that Teal'c could stay with SG-1 because he didn't had any important things left on his planet Chulak. Wrong we were, this time the whole episode is about Teal'c's past. He do has a wife and a child. His son Rya'c is ready for a typical Jaffa ritual and Teal'c has to go back to Chulak. He doesn't want that Rya'c will get a prim'ta into his body that will turn him into a Goa'uld drone. Of he goes with the SG-1 team to stop the ritual, in comes Bra'tac, his master. One of the few characters that will reappear in the next 10 year Stargate is seen on the telee.
We do learn more about the Jaffa's and the ritual. A very important episode t o understand the sacrifice given by Teal'c to stay with SG-1 and leaving his son and wife behind.
