Storyline

SG-1 is sent to planet Latona, which is under attack from Goa'uld system lord Svarog because its Ancient defense system, the Sentinel, stopped working after Maybourn's rogue NID team secretly assembled and reassembled it. Colonel Sean Grieves and his rude assistant, lieutenant Kershaw, are taken from death row to join the rescue mission to repair it and/or evacuate the Latonians. Planetary leader Marul refuses to accept facts, despite the rule of terror already being installed by a Jaffa battalion, even when Svarog's starship arrives and Jack insists it's time to leave with or without the Latonians, claiming the Guardian must be alive and alert as a flame signifies. When Sam joins the repair team, which Daniel helped pass the ingenious protection field, the gruesome story of how the NID thieves got to it the first time proves crucial.

User Reviews

continuity error- Grogan

At the beginning of this episode, Hammond calls over the radio through the gate to his people on the planet. The person that responds is identified as "Sergeant" Grogan. I thought he looked and sounded like one of the guys in "Proving Ground", but I was sure those four were all supposed to be Academy graduates, meaning they would be 2nd Lieutenants. I checked the credits on here and it's the same actor, same character, but on here the character is credited in both episodes as Lt. Grogan. Haven't checked the credits on the actual episode, I'm still in the middle of watching it :) But there's a continuity error- they call him Sgt. but he is a Lt.
