*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This is an great episode with a very dark and dramatic beginning. The team comes to a planet as a search party to see what has happened to SG-9 only to find that the teams leader has taken control of the local primitive inhabitants and are posing as their god. He claims to the people that he has the magic power (technology) to protect them from the intense UV light on the planet, but he needs Samantha Carters technical abilities to operate a machine left behind by the Goa'uld. The team must expose him as a false god before he gets complete control and devotion over the people.
This is an episode that deals with madness and how absolute power, corrupts. This is one of the more impressive one-time missions, and contains one of the series first seasons more original thinking.
