After the Goa'uld Apophis comes through the Earth Stargateand kidnaps a female airman, Col. Jack O'Neill is recalled to active duty to be sent through the Stargate on a mission to find out what happened to Daniel Jackson and the people of Abydos, as well as find out where this new threat came from. Captain Samantha Carter, the world’s foremost expert on the Stargate, is put on his team, much to the annoyance of O'Neill due to his dislike of scientists.

Episode Notes |
| |
We find out General West (Leon Rippy) from the movie has been replaced by General Hammond (Don S. Davis) at SGC.
| In the movie, Stargate Command was situated under Creek Mountain, Colorado Springs. They changed it in the series and now Stargate Command is situated in Cheyenne Mountain.
| Amanda Tapping (Samantha Carter) is the only cast member that didn't work with any of the other cast members prior to this episode.
| Alexis Cruz (Skaara) and Erick Avari (Kasuf) are the only actors to appear in both this series and the original film.
| Apophis is from Greek mythology. His Egyptian equivalent is Apep.
| Two new actors take the roles of Ferretti and Kawalsky in this episode. In the 1994 film John Diehl played Ferretti and French Stewart played Kawalsky.
| The film Stargate was originally going to be part of a film franchise, but the creators Dean Devlin and Rolan Emmerich moved onto Independence Day. So three years later MGM decided to make Stargate into a television series.
| In the original film Colonel Jack O' Neill (or O'Neil in the movie) is portrayed as being negative, cynical, pessimistic and very serious. This was changed as Richard Dean Anderson told MGM he could not play the character that way. This is why O' Neill in the television series is rather sarcastic with a naughty sense of humour, although he is still cynical and does sometimes become very serious in attitude, albeit rarely.
| Even though Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich wrote the film Stargate (1994), they refused on screen credit in this series.
| This is the first of only two episodes in which General Hammond (Don S. Davis) and Apophis (Peter Williams) actually meet. The second is "Serpent's Song".

Episode Quotes |
| |
General Hammond: You ever think of writing a book about your exploits in the line of duty?
Jack: Ah, thought about it. But then I'd have to shoot anyone who actually read it. (pause) It's a joke, sir.
| Dr. McKenzie: (to General Hammond; referring to a the dead Jaffa) He's not human, sir.
Jack: Ya think?
| General Hammond: You didn't like Daniel Jackson, did you?
Jack: Daniel was a scientist. He sneezed a lot. Basically he was a geek, sir.
Major Samuels: So you didn't have a lot of time for him.
Jack I didn't say that. He also saved my life and found the way home for my men and me. A little thing like that kinda makes a person grow on you, if you know what I mean.
| (Jack sends Kleenex to Daniel)
General Hammond: Care to explain this concept?
Jack: Daniel has allergies.
Major Kawalsky: (smiles) Oh, I get it.
Jack: He'll know this came from me and not from someone, with all due respect, sir, like yourself.
| Major Samuels: (referring to a box of Kleenex) What if the aliens get it?
Jack: Well, they could be blowing their noses right now.
| Jack: (referring to Sam) Oh, here we go. Another scientist. General, please...
Sam: Theoretical astrophysicist.
Jack: Which means...?
General Hammond: Which means she is smarter than you are, Colonel.
| Sam:: (to Jack) And just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside, doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.
| Sam: (to Jack) I logged over 100 hours in the Gulf War. Is that tough enough for you or are we going to have to arm-wrestle?
| Sam: You know Colonel, you really will like me once you get to know me.
Jack: Oh I adore you already, Captain.
| Jack: Moonshine.
Skaara: Moon...shine?
Jack: Yeah. moonshine, as in booze. Daniel, what are you teaching these kids?
Skaara: Try it.
Jack: Alright. Skaara's moonshine. Give it a little shot. (takes a sip, spits) Oh good God!! (gasping) Smooth. Very smooth.
Skaara: Moonshine!
Kawalsky: Our little soldiers are all grown up, Colonel.
Jack: Yeah, I'm so proud. Whoa...

Episode Goofs |

There are seven symbols in every cartouche in the Abydos maproom. If the seventh symbol is always the point of origin, then all of the seventh symbols should be the same. But they're not.
| How can a wormhole be tracked through three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plexiglass map?
| When a small, round metallic object lands at the feet of a trained soldier, she picks it up. Luckily it wasn't a grenade.
| In the first scene, Teal'c, Apophis and six other Jaffa come through the Stargate. Although only two Jaffa are killed, the SGC seems to have acquired four Jaffa corpses, and only Teal'c, Apophis and one other Jaffa return to Chulak.
| Although Kawalsky seems to indicate that he and Jack first met during the original Stargate mission, it is later revealed in "The Gamekeeper" that they had known each other since at least 1982.
| Although Dr. McKenzie is a physician in this episode, he is a psychologist in all his subsequent appearances.
| After the opening battle sequence the soldiers' bodies are covered in blood, despite the fact that staff weapon blasts cauterize wounds.
