Stargate SG-1: The Enemy Within (1997)
Season 1, Episode 2
6/10
Fairly Strong Follow-up Episode That Develops Characters
4 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Who is truly the villain, is it the known enemy the Goa'uld that's exist inside Teal'c (Christopher Judge) or is it mankind itself. Everyone is not the same on either side of the battle, Colonel Kennedy (Alan Rachins) clearly show us just that when he wants to use Teal'c and his symbiot as a test subject. While the political dilemma is going on Charles Kawalsky (Jay Acovane) is having his own problem with a Goa'uld symbiot. 

Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is just the kind of leader of a team you need, he looks after his friends and the people who treat him good, he fights all he can for Teal'c even though he has only known him for a short period time. He also tries to do everything he can to help his long-time friend Kawalsky to get rid of his symbiot. The whole Kawalsky getting black-out is a good story point and that the rest doesn't know at first that it is Kawalsky that is causing the problem at the base.

It's a shame that we won't be able to see the friendship between O'Neill and Kawalsky but that will open up to newer friendships between the other major characters and we will see them grow from the start on the screen instead of imagine what those two has gone through before. Don S. Davis really did a good job in this episode as the George Hammond the leader of the base and one who has to take difficult decision and standing up against Colonel Kennedy and his wishes. In the end we got our SG-1 when Teal'c is able to join the team to fully form SG-1.

Score: 6/10 (Solid)
