Goofs

While this episode is supposed to be set on the same planet (Cimmeria) as the first season episode "Thor's Hammer", the physical setting of the Stargate, and the landscape around it, are very different between the 2 episodes.

First Encounter

General Hammond sends a probe to Cimmeria and the SG-1 receives a request for help from Gairwyn. They realize that the destruction of Thor's Hammer to save Teal'c has made the planet vulnerable to the Goa'uld invasion and they feel responsible for fate of the people. They decide to return to help the locals and Daniel, Samantha and Gairwyn have an encounter with Thor.

"Thor's Chariot" is a good story and the first encounter between humans and Gods. Thor's real appearance is a great surprise and the special effects are very good. My vote is eight.
