Responding to a message that has apparently been issued by his mentor Bra'tac, Teal'c (Christopher Judge) is unexpectedly reunited with his lost love Shan'auc (Musetta Vander). She claims to have found a way to communicate with her Gou'ald symbiote, and hopes to use her enhanced knowledge to destroy the Goa'uld once and for all. Skeptical at first, Teal'c is eventually convinced of Shan'auc's sincerity--but both he and Sha'auc may be victims of a deadly deception. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Jaffa Skaara and his Goa'uld symbiote Klorel, both sharing the same body (and both played by the same actor, Alexis Cruz), are put on trial and subjected to the Triad, the Tollans' ancient justice ceremony. The trial turns out to be custody battle, with Skaara and Klorel battling for permanent possession of their mutual body. As SG-1 crew members O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and Jackson (Michael Shanks) argue on behalf of Skaara, and the Goa'uld Zipacna (Kevin Durand) represents Klorel, the possibilty exists that both personalities may have to be sacrificed "for the greater good." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

SG-1 arrives at the primitive planet Tolla, where a volcanic eruption is destroying everything. The team manages to rescue a few surprisingly advanced humans, led by Omoc (Tobin Bell)--who are far from grateful. The Tollan Narim (Garwin Sanford) explains why the refugees are suspicious of SG-1's motives: Years earlier, Omoc's father had shared the Tollan technology with earth--resulting in a devastating war which stripped the planet of its civilization and left the surviving Tollans in a state of enslavement. As O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) tries to convince Omoc that the people of Earth have mended their ways, he is undermined by certain hawkish Pentagon officials, determined to wreak more havoc upon the hapless Tollans. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this followup to the 1st season episode "Thor's Hammer", SG-1 returns to Cimmeria, only to discover that the planet is overrun by the Goa'uld--all because the SG-1 team has destroyed Cimmeria's only defense against the parasitical scourges. As their comrades help the planet's denizens mount a defense against fierce Goa'uld warrior Heru'ur (Andrew Kavadas), Jackson (Michael Shanks) and Samantha (Amanda Tapping), together with the Cimmerian Gairwyn (Tamsin Kelsey), seek out the Hall of Thor's Might, in search of powerful weapons.

SG-1's Jaffa crew member Teal'c (Christopher Judge) is bombarded with bad news about his family. Because she believed herself to be a widow, Teal'c's wife Drey'auc (Brook Parker) has married his best friend Fro'tak (Peter Bryant). Worse still, the supposedly dead Apophis (Peter Williams) has captured and brainwashed Teal'c's son Rya'c (Neil Denis). Now the SG-1 team faces two nemeses: Fro'tak, who may betray them out of jealousy; and Rya'c, who has renounced his father and cast his lot with the dreaded Apophis. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

After Jackson (Michael Shanks) assists in the delivery of a baby on the planet Argos, the SG-1 team is invited by the planet's inhabitants to a joyous festival. The team cannot help but notice that the Argos population consists entirely of young, beautiful people who immediately fall asleep at sunset, awakening several years older the next day. It turns out that the Argosian lifespan is only 100 days, and that the inhabitants grow old at an accelerated rate. Seduced by the Argosian Kynthia (Bobbie Phillips), O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) inherits the planetary traits, ageing rapidly before his comrades' eyes. Carter must find out the cause behind this phenomenon--before O'Neill dies of old age. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The SG-1 team heads to Cimmerica, in hopes of enlisting the aid of the legendary Norse Gods in their battle against the Goa'ulds. Because team member Teal'c (Chrsitopher Judge), like all Jaffa men, carries a larval Goa'uld within him, he is prohibited from entering Cimmerica and trapped in a beam of light. When O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) attempts to release Teal'c, both men are whisked underground to the labyrinthine home of Unas (Vincent Hammond), the original Goa'uld host body. Unas' subterranean prison has been designed to protect his civilization from the Goa'ulds, and as such is all but inescapable. SG-1 team members Jackson (Michael Shanks) and Carter (Amanda Tapping) must rely upon another former Goa'uld host named Kendra (Galyn Gorg) to save their comrades. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The SG-1 team is convinced that their comrade Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) was burned to death during an escape from the planet Oannes.

Playing for time, Jackson agrees to help Nem locate his partner Omorca, who lived on earth during the Babylonian era. As Jackson and Nem discover that they have more in common than might be suspected, Jackson's earthbound team members, who are now not so certain that Daniel is dead, undergo hypnosis in hopes of retracing the events leading up to their cohort's "demise." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

On the planet Simarka, the SG-1 team mets the Mongol-like Shavadai warriors, who have relegated their women to a state of near-slavery. This rouses the feminist ire of team member Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), who nonetheless saves the life of the Shavadai chief's son Abu (Jorge Vargas). Later kidnapped and bartered off as "property", Samantha tries to foment a women's rebellion against the Shavadai--and also attempts to smooth the path of romance between Abu and Nya (Crystal Lo), daughter of an enemy warlord. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Way back in 1936, moonshiner Swamp Molly (Neva Patterson) saved the life of Jesse Duke (Denver Pyle). Now, 33 years after the fact, Molly wants the Dukes to repay the favor by helping her make one last, big moonshine run in broad daylight--which of course would mess up the probation of Luke (Tom Wopat) and Bo (John Schneider), something that Boss Hogg (Sorrell Booke) and Sheriff Roscoe (James Best) have been anxiously awaiting for a long, long time! This is the first episode filmed in California, and the first in which Boss and Roscoe are depicted as bumbling buffoons rather than credible "bad guys." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In this made-for-TV remake of the 1953 comedy, the wisdom of a young batboy (Gary Coleman) leads the San Diego Padres from worst to first and an eventual berth in the World Series. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide
The Longest Drive is the syndication title for the network TV movie The Quest, which first aired May 13, 1976. Evidently inspired by John Ford's The Searchers, this western concerns the search by two brothers, Quentin and Morgan Baudine (Tim Matheson, Kurt Russell), for their sister, who as an infant was kidnaped by Indians. Morgan himself had spent time as an "adopted" Cheyenne tribesman; his Indian name was, appropriately enough, Two Persons. Breaking up the main storyline is a subplot involving desert rat Brian Keith and a race between a horse and a camel! Written by Tracy Keenan Wynn (Tribes), The Longest Drive served as the pilot for the subsequent Quest weekly series, which ran from September 22 to December 29, 1976. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
