Storyline

Based on the information Vala gave them, SG-1 travels to the planet where Merlin may have hidden his secret weapon to defeat ascended beings. There they find an appropriately medieval village and learn that Merlin kept a library there. The locals have never been inside owing to a curse that on anyone who dares enter but SG-1 finds a way in. Once inside, they find a secret chamber that may reveal the location of the weapon. The SGC meanwhile have located the Ori's Supergate. Sam's attempt to get control of it is too late and four Ori make their way through. In the ensuing battle, much of Earth's fleet is destroyed and the future of several SGC members is left in doubt.

User Reviews

Very disappointing!!!!!!!!!

I really do not understand why this episode was written this way. They fought a loosing battle with the Ori, that was commonsense. They should have waited until they knew they had something to defeat them with. I just think this episode was a waste and I'm very disappointed with the writers!!!! It's like the bad people are always winning!!!!! I don't like shows like this!!!
