Recap

An enormous ship traveling through space begins to come to life as a Stargate in the hold activates. Lt. Matthew Scott of SG Command comes shooting through. Just as he gets his bearings more civilians and SG personnel come through the gate one at the time, propelled by an enormous energy discharge. One of the civilians, Dr. Nicholas Rush, examines the DHD device. The last person through is Colonel Everett Young, who is literally blasted out of the Stargate by a massive explosion on the other side. The Stargate shuts down from the power overload and Scott moves to examine his injured commander. Young tells Scott to assume command before he passes out from the pain. Master Sergeant Tamara Johansen tends to Young’s injuries while Scott asks a teenager, Eli Wallace, where Rush is and they’ve ended up...

Episode Notes
Camille Wray (Ming-Na) is the first openly homosexual character to appear in the Stargate franchise.

Given that they both previously appeared in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Children of the Gods" and the Stargate Atlantis episode "Rising", RIchard Dean Anderson (Jack O'Neill) and Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) are the only actors to appear in the pilot episodes of all three series in the Stargate franchise.



Episode Quotes
Eli: Actually, uh, Eli's not right here right now... okay, okay, whatever you think that I did, I swear, you've got the wrong guy.
Lieutenant General Jack O'Neill: Do I look like someone who would be standing here if I didn't already know everything there is to know about you?
Eli: Yeah, not really.
Lieutenant General Jack O'Neill: Right.

Nicholas: I assure you, it'll be worth your while if you sign it.
Eli: What if I don't?
Lieutenant General Jack O'Neill: We'll beam you up to our spaceship.
Eli: Right. I think I want my lawyer to look it over first...
Lieutenant General Jack O'Neill: And by "lawyer," I assume you mean "mother."

Eli: Eli Wallace.
Chloe: I know.
Eli: You've heard of me?
Chloe: I have.
Eli: Wow, that almost never happens. And you are?
Chloe: I work for Alan Armstrong. Senator of California.
Eli: Oh, yeah, yeah. I have heard of California. My last job was in the burgers and fries field.

Chloe: Well, if anyone's going to solve it, I think Eli will.
Eli: Yes, that's right. It's true... I'm Math Boy.
