Stargate SG-1, S-1-5 The Broca Divide

Plot and Comments:
In this episode SG-1 is sent to P3X-797 to investigate a world to where the Goa'ould have fled at a previous occasion. A M.A.L.P. =) have been sent through (First use of it ?) only to find the planet completely dark. Well at the scene SG-1 are attacked by grunting pre-historic creatures but are rescued by SG-3 Marines. When pursuing the creatures they encounter a team of local people out to rescue a girl who has been kidnapped by the creatures.

SG-1 accompany the locals to their palace where they learn the story about the touched and the untouched and how they are related. After they learn that the Goa'ould have not been seen in many years Jack decides that it is time to go back to earth. They do so but at the briefing General Hammond informs the team that the President has decided that all missions have to have a cultural and human aspect (For crying out load =). During the briefing one of the Marine soldiers throws a fit and attacks Teal'c (good choice of victim). Shortly after that Sam tries to seduce Jack in a force full manner.

Dr. Frasier concludes that people are getting sick by a highly contagious disease and Hammond orders Teal'c and Daniel back to the Planet to obtain blood samples of the people that are not infected. They travel back but Daniel is captured by the touched and Teal'c has to go back to where the untouched live to get the samples him self.

With the obtained blood samples Dr. Frasier is able to find out that the organism that causes the disease lives on histamine in the victims blood and anyone with low levels of histamine is immune to the organism. With this knowledge she is able to create a potent drug that starves the organism in the patient thus curing them.

Personal Comments: I quite like this episode. It contains all the elements of a good SG-1 episode, dangerous diseases, the main characters infected, ONeill grunting =), Doc Frasiers big brown eyes and a happy ending.
