Shades Of Grey

Stargate SG-1After Daniel makes a lengthy appeal to open diplomatic relations with the Tollan, they still refuse to trade technology with Earth. Incensed, O’Neill interrupts the negotiations and calls the talks off – if Earth’s new allies can offer no help in defending the planet, they’re not really allies. As SG-1 prepares to return to Earth, O’Neill takes a piece of Tollan technology without permission, specifically the device that neutralizes enemy weapons. General Hammond is outraged at the theft, and has O’Neill removed from active duty and examined for any evidence of alien mind control; to his dismay, Dr. Fraiser finds no such evidence. Faced with court-martial or retirement, O’Neill chooses retirement – and in very short order, he’s contacted by Colonel Maybourne, who claims to be working for an “offshoot” of NID. Maybourne wants O’Neill to command teams going through a stargate again, but this time O’Neill will be pilfering any alien tech that could help Earth, with no diplomatic overtures. O’Neill reluctantly agrees to go along, but one of his very first missions pits him squarely against his former SG-1 teammates.

Season 03 SG-1 Stargate

New Ground

Stargate SG-1On a world previously unvisited by SG-1, a stargate is unearthed by indigenous archaeologists. When the gate opens and a MALP rolls through, they’re stunned; Daniel speaks to them via two-way radio built into the MALP unit, and asks if SG-1 can visit. But as soon as they’re through the gate, the team learns that there’s a war on between two fundamentally different belief systems – and the very presence of humans from another world will cause that war to heat up even more. O’Neill, Carter and Daniel are captured, while Teal’c goes into hiding to bide his time for a rescue attempt. A close encounter with one of the armed locals leaves the Jaffa blinded and all but defenseless. O’Neill and the others quickly learn the gravity of their situation: they will most likely be executed, the gate reburied, and the entire incident covered up, all to protect the belief system of one of the planet’s dominant nations. But when the archaeological dig uncovers the gate’s DHD, there’s also an opportunity for the “heretics” to escape.

Crystal Skull

Stargate SG-1On the planet designated P7X-277, an enormous pyramid – big enough to hold all of the pyramids in Egypt combined – is found. If its sheer size is staggering, what it contains is even more surprising – radiation that’s capable of slowing neutrinos, and, on a pedestal in the pyramid’s center, what appears to be a human skull made of crystal. More surprisingly, it’s identical to one that Daniel’s grandfather, archaeologist Nick Ballard, found in Belize. Ballard claimed at the time that the skull teleported him to another world where he was greeted by gigantic aliens, but that claim destroyed his career and left him institutionalized. When Daniel looks into the eyes of the skull, just as Ballard did, the radiation level spikes and energy begins to glow throughout the cavern. Teal’c fires his zat gun at the skull, but in that moment, Daniel seems to disappear. Daniel manages to return to Earth through the stargate, but no one can see or hear him. Desperate for clues about Daniel’s whereabouts, his teammates turn to the one other person who has gazed into the eyes of the crystal skull…even though, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, that man is insane.

Nemesis

Stargate SG-1An appendectomy puts Daniel out of action, and sidelines the rest of SG-1 temporarily. As he sets about completely failing to interest his teammates in a fishing trip, O’Neill suddenly finds himself transported aboard an Asgard ship orbiting Earth. But instead of finding himself among the Asgard themselves, O’Neill is surrounded by large mechanical insects. When he finally finds Thor, the Asgard is on the brink of death, and directs O’Neill to watch a recorded message explaining that the mechanical creatures, discovered by the Asgard in another galaxy and known as replicators, infested the ship, learned of Earth from its navigational charts, and have come to take over the planet for themselves. The Asgard consider the replicators to be a far greater threat than the Goa’uld. Thor is too weak to help, however, and it’s up to O’Neill and SG-1 to figure out if the replicators can be destroyed before they reach Earth.

Small Victories

Stargate SG-1Thor’s ship slams into the Pacific Ocean in pieces, but some of the replicators survive the ship’s re-entry. One replicator tries to single-handedly commandeer a Russian submarine, but the sub makes it back to harbor. SG-1, after two weeks missing in action, finally returns home from delivering Thor back to the Asgard. But despite O’Neill’s wish for a hot shower and a fishing trip, the team gets new assignments almost immediately. Thor asks for the team’s help in the Asgard’s ongoing war with the replicators, and Carter goes to offer her expertise. The rest of SG-1 boards the Russian sub, discovering that the replicator has made copies of itself, which are now making copies of themselves – but after their first firefight with the replicators, Daniel detects a defect: the new replicators, created from the raw material available in the submarine, are susceptible to Earth’s corrosive seawater. But the information may not be enough to save O’Neill and Teal’c’s lives.

The Other Side

Stargate SG-1The SGC is on high alert after several unexpected offworld activations. Finally, a message is received from a colony of descendants of human slaves taken from Earth by the Goa’uld, which reveals that with each previous attempt to open the stargate, a volunteer stepped through and fatally slammed into the iris protecting the SGC’s gate. Their leader, Alar, pleads for assistance in his people’s war with an unknown enemy, and General Hammond dispatches SG-1 on a purely humanitarian mission. Alar’s people fight a war by remote control from a besieged underground headquarters, on a world whose surface has been left permanently uninhabitable by the ongoing war. After seeing their remote combat technology in action, and learning about their controlled fusion reactors, O’Neill pledges Earth’s assistance to ensure a technology exchange. What Alar wants from Earth is deuterium-infused heavy water to power both his defenses and offensive weapons. But this raises troubling questions about the war being fought – how did it start, who is the enemy, and is O’Neill getting in over his head?

Upgrades

Stargate SG-1Two representatives from the Tok’ra arrive, bearing gifts – relics of an extinct race that, according to the Tok’ra’s best minds, should give their wearers superhuman strength. However, due to the Tok’ra’s symbiotes, the irony is that they’re incapable of using the devices. O’Neill, Carter and Daniel are chosen to be the guinea pigs for this experiment, and as the Tok’ra promise, the alien armbands give all three of them superhuman strength and speed and mental agility – but there’s also a price, such as a superhuman appetite and what Dr. Fraiser warns is an unsafely high body temperature. On Fraiser’s advice, General Hammond orders the use of the alien gear discontinued, only to find that O’Neill and the other test subjects are physically unable to remove them. Dr. Fraiser suspects that the Tok’ra knew this would happen, and her suspicions are confirmed – and the Tok’ra now admit that they would like to “borrow” the new and improved SG-1 for a mission to take out Apophis’ powerful new warship, a feat that the Tok’ra have thus far failed to accomplish for themselves.

Daniel deciphers the inscriptions on the alien devices to mean “with great power comes great responsibility” – apparently this alien culture once read The Amazing Spider-Man.

Crossroads

Stargate SG-1The gate is activated with Bra’tac’s ID code, but the woman who steps into the SGC is obviously not Bra’tac. She is Shau’nac, an old flame of Teal’c, who claims to have developed the ability to separate her consciousness from that of her symbiote and can use that ability to convince the Goa’uld within her that its agenda is evil. Bra’tac has sent Shau’nac to teach this ability to the Tok’ra so that they may use it against the Goa’uld. At first, General Hammond is suspicious, and the Tok’ra scientist Anise is contacted, so that the Tok’ra can assess the situation without revealing their current base of operations. As she awaits the Tok’ra’s decision, Shau’nac shows Teal’c how to communicate with his symbiote – and urges him to leave SG-1 to help her spread this knowledge among all Jaffa.

Jeremiah Season 1

The Long Road

JeremiahIn the year 2030, a new generation of the human race is coming of age, the first to do so since a global epidemic now referred to as “the Big Death” killed everyone over the age of puberty. One young man named Jeremiah is on a quest to learn as much as he can about his father’s involvement in the search for a cure, but it’s not easy going – electricity, gasoline, and any kind of working technology are rare commodities, and people have been known to kill anyone they even so much as suspect of possessing them.

Jeremiah’s immediate problems are much simpler, however – a wanderer named Kurdy has stolen his fish. Jeremiah catches up with Kurdy in a rough-and-tumble town, only to discover bigger problems. A woman named Theo has become the law in this town, but her rule isn’t one of justice, but one of violence. Jeremiah is approached by a young man named Simon, who claims to be seeking others who wish to bring civilization back as their parents once knew it, but Jeremiah turns down his approach. Theo and her men find a truck – with half a tank of gas – hidden just outside of town, and they wait to ambush the owners: Simon and his traveling companion. Theo viciously interrogates them, trying to learn where “the end of the world” is, supposedly a place with resources aplenty which she could use to her advantage. When one of Theo’s men reports that he saw Simon talking to Jeremiah, she has him rounded up as well. Kurdy, who has been trying to get Jeremiah to take him along on his travels, watches as Theo’s men beat Jeremiah and take him back to Theo’s compound. Kurdy is torn between safe inaction and risking his life to help someone he had no problem stealing food from the day before. Rather than a brash frontal assault against Theo’s armed thugs, Kurdy engineers a full-scale town revolt and uses it as a cover to break Jeremiah and Simon out.

Kurdy, Jeremiah and Simon make it to Simon’s truck, but Simon is fatally wounded during the escape. Before dying, he tells Jeremiah that the end of the world is a real place – and he tells him how to get there, and to deliver a message: the Big Death is returning. Kurdy is more eager to get out of town and sell Simon’s truck, but Jeremiah is determined to deliver Simon’s message, and find out if the end of the world Simon reffered to is the same as the Valhalla Sector his father spoke of before his death.

Teryl Rothery is well-known to Stargate SG-1 fans as Dr. Janet Fraiser.

Man Of Iron, Woman Under Glass

JeremiahMarcus Alexander is the glue that holds the underground Thunder Mountain complex together, leading a kind of resistance movement to bring the world back to order. Jeremiah and Kurdy have allied themselves to his cause reluctantly, though Jeremiah has been very critical of Marcus’ reticence about using the former military complex’s resources – plentiful food, energy, technology and supplies – to help those “outside.” Marcus also has a secret that he’s been keeping even from his own people: a woman who survived the Big Death and now lives in a bio-isolation ward in the mountain; she carries the virus, but has somehow survived it. If she were to step out of that chamber, everyone in the mountain would be wiped out, and the Big Death might spread anew. But unfortunately for Marcus, someone has found out – and plans to tell the others about the woman’s presence. In the meantime, Jeremiah and Kurdy are on another scouting mission when a boy standing in the road forces Jeremiah to swerve into the woods, wrecking the land rover in the process. When Jeremiah comes to, the boy is standing over him, in the trademark costume of comic book hero Captain Iron. Jeremiah and Kurdy are tended to by the boy’s sister and her husband. Jeremiah learns that “Captain Iron” was a loner – a nerd by some people’s standards – even before the Big Death. Since the death of his parents, he has adopted his hero’s code of honor, helping others, defending the defenseless, and bringing inspiration to some – and derisive laughter from others, such as his brother-in-law. But when bandits attack their camp and kidnap his sister, the world’s last superhero may be in over his head – and if he gets himself killed while trying to save his sister, who will save us all then?

…And The Ground, Sown With Salt

JeremiahJeremiah and Kurdy follow up on information sent to Marcus by one of his contacts, who says that there’s something they need to see near the abandoned McLaren Army Base. Jeremiah and Kurdy arrive at the rendezvous point just in time to see their contact executed. The base has been overrun by a thuggish young man named Michael and his band of raiders. Jeremiah and Kurdy are captured, and Michael asks them where the end of the world is. They refuse to answer, and Michael soon demonstrates his power over the people at the base – his power comes from the barrel of a gun, but he demands more than obedience. He demands worship, and those who will not pray to him are murdered. Michael later offers an exchange of information, even dropping a few tantalizing hints about Valhalla Sector. When he receives no answers to his satisfaction, Michael then drops three daisy cutter bombs onto a small town whose people also refused to cooperate. But from Jeremiah has already learned, even if Michael can be stopped, there are others like him – or perhaps worse.

To Sail Among The Stars

JeremiahJeremiah and Kurdy follow up on another of Simon’s leads, traveling to an impoverished village to learn about a group of people called the Burners. On the way, they stop for the night, and Jeremiah finds a young woman siphoning their truck’s gas tank. When he goes to stop her, she gets away after fending him off. The next day, their contact, a man named Eddie who runs a pool hall, isn’t eager to talk about that topic during business hours, but invites Jeremiah to come back later. Eddie reveals that the Burners are using what was once known as hot zone biohazard gear – airtight suits and flamethrowers – as a terrifying means of enforcing their will on others. Worse yet, despite the extinction of telephones, the internet, and radio, the Burners are somehow coordinating their attacks when their cells are in completely different cities. After giving this information to Jeremiah, Eddie is murdered later that night. Jeremiah also runs into the lady gas thief once more, and discovers that she’s keeping an awful lot of a very flammable liquid around rather than selling it…

The Bag

JeremiahOn the trail of another of Simon’s contacts, a man named Holcombe who may know whether or not the Big Death will be making a return appearance, Jeremiah and Kurdy stop to assist a wanderer whose pregnant wife has fallen ill. In the town of Slag Harbor, they catch word of a traveling doctor who may be able to help. Jeremiah is dismayed to find that this “doctor” is actually no more than the son of a doctor who still has his dead father’s medicine bag, but he’s still the only hope of those who need medical attention. But as if the would-be doctor isn’t perpetuating enough of a myth about himself, his street-savvy older brother is milking that talent for whatever people are willing to trade. When thugs beat up both brothers and steal the medicine bag, Jeremiah has to convince a man who may be the last doctor in the world that what he needs to practice isn’t a bag full of 15-year-old pills, but his compassion…and all he needs to do is step out of his older brother’s shadow.

City Of Roses

JeremiahJeremiah and Kurdy rescue a girl from a gang of rapists, and Kurdy is horrified when Jeremiah seems insistent on gassing the thugs to death with the land rover’s exhaust. During the fight, Kurdy cuts one of his hands, and with that wound comes a trickle of memories of his childhood – his home, his mother, and some sort of struggle between his parents – the only memory he has of that time of his life. They bring the girl back to Thunder Mountain, where Erin tries to help her recover from his ordeal, and Kurdy embarks on one of his own. His next assignment is to ride shotgun with Jeremiah to the lab where the late Jimmy Holcomb received an experimental (and ultimately fatal) vaccine against the return of the Big Death – a lab within a short drive of Kurdy’s childhood home. Jeremiah, tired of Kurdy’s recent preoccupation with the past, drops Kurdy off there and goes off to the lab by himself, and is greeted at gunpoint. Kurdy, in the meantime, meets the one person left in the world who could possibly know what happened to his parents – and discovers that it was not the Big Death that killed them, but two bullets.

Firewall

JeremiahJeremiah and Kurdy investigate what seems like an unlikely tale involving biohazard-suited figures kidnapping people and performing biological tests on them. They’re stunned to find that it’s true – and even more surprised when they’re able to capture one of the suited men, but even the quickest glance through the visor of the biosuit reveals that this may be the oldest human being that anyone’s seen in a long time. They take him back to Thunder Mountain, where he awakens – and makes it plainly obvious that he knows Marcus on a first-name basis. The man turns out to be Major Quantrell, formerly one of Thunder Mountain’s top brass during the outbreak of the Big Death. Quantrell has many things to reveal – he is now based at the elusive Valhalla Sector, he’s not the only human being to have topped 40 years old, and if his young captors don’t let him go, his people will come looking for him and they’ll come well-armed. It soon becomes obvious that Quantrell and his allies intend to take control of what’s left of the world and rule by force…and anyone choosing to oppose him will need to be up for one hell of a fight.
