With the opening of Season 2, we pick up right where that intense Season 1 cliffhanger left us: SG-1 stuck on a spaceship, ready to sacrifice themselves to save Earth… only for Apophis to come in and ruin everything.

In this review, I get into why “The Serpent’s Lair” is once again the ultimate Stargate magic episode: high stakes, flying by the seat of our pants, and enough humor to make this a damn good watch.

We’ve got Hammond showing us what real leadership looks like, Samuels still being pompous and assy, and Bra’tac and O’Neill showing us how these battle tested warriors can still learn from each other and grow as a person.

Though it wouldn’t be a review by me if I didn’t also have notes. Obviously.

So, strap in and join me for another review of Stargate SG-1.
