Stargate SG-1 Season Seven

Reunion

This is the season of joyous homecoming and the finding of focus, of a place, and of family.

SG-1's search for the Lost City of the Ancients resulted in a most unexpected find: Daniel Jackson, Fallen to earth and unaware of his own identity. O'Neill and Carter reached out to their friend, convincing him to return home with them so they could show him who he was and what he meant to them. Daniel's search for identity and the quiet reunion of the family of SG-1 were rapidly overtaken by the need to neutralise Anubis' super-weapon, powered by the Eye Of Ra. Carter came up with her wackiest plan ever, Daniel and Jonas infiltrated Anubis' ship, and O'Neill got to play out his own version of Star Wars…

Homecoming proved difficult both for Daniel and for Jonas, whose torture at the hands of Anubis led the Goa'uld to Kelowna in search of naquadria to shore up his crippled defences. While the Kelownans appealed to O'Neill and Carter for help against the invasion, Teal'c and Lord Yu's First Prime Oshu conspired to place Baal at the head of the combined fleet of the System Lords. Daniel and Jonas escaped, rejoining their teammates only to be betrayed again to his forces. Ironically, rescue came from Baal's bombardment of the vast ship in the skies above the city.

Jonas Quinn returned to Kelowna as the trusted representative of his people - trusted, that is, by their former enemies, who refused to negotiate for peace without him. Daniel Jackson, having regained much of his memory, rejoined his team and was welcomed home by O'Neill.

The Asgard fought to maintain a Fragile Balance, battling against the Replicators and their own genetic deterioration as their cloning technology failed. When Jack O'Neill woke up one morning decades younger, a foot shorter, pimpled and decidedly irked, suspicion soon fell on the Asgard. Young Jack was a clone and a failing one at that, while the real-meal-deal O'Neill was a prisoner of Loki, Norse god of mischief - and disgraced Asgard geneticist. Could SG-1 retrieve the real O'Neill and could Thor save O'Neill's equally irked Mini Me?

Teal'c's dependence on the drug tretonin changed him in ways he didn't expect. Weakness to him was as good as death and tretonin was not the answer he'd believed it to be to the enslavement of the Jaffa. A terrible injury and arduous rehabilitation sapped his last shreds of confidence. Only a vision from Daniel's ascension had the power to move him: son Rya'c and mentor Bra'tac were prisoners in a death camp. Like Orpheus, Teal'c descended into a personal hell to save his loved ones - and himself - while Daniel fought his own battle for identity. Both men finally realised that in the choices they'd made, they'd found their true place.

A desolate, poisoned planet was home to a charming rural community, locked away within a protective computer-controlled bubble. When SG-1 probed beneath the pretty pastoral surface, they found the friendly people's dependence on their data Link made it easy for computer-generated Revisions to their memories. Carter and Daniel's investigations showed that with power failing, the dome was shrinking and the computer had found a terrible way to compensate and maintain the community. People vanished, erased as if they'd never existed.

Daniel Jackson was forced to become the unwilling Lifeboat to more than a dozen personalities dispossessed when their ship crash-landed. Demanding, manipulative sovereign Martice, honourable engineer Tryan and the heartbroken young boy Keenin were among the souls within the dying Daniel. Officer Pharrin could save the rest of his people if he returned Daniel and sacrificed those other souls, including that of his son, but Martice wouldn't surrender Daniel's body at any cost. If "all" his people had to die to save him, let them…

An off-world mining operation led to the discovery of a vast naquadah deposit - and a tribe of hostile Unas. With an SGC officer dead, many more - including O'Neill - wounded in clashes with the Unas, Colonel Edwards seeming out for revenge and the Air Force determined to mine the naquadah, Daniel Jackson turned to old friend Chaka to help negotiate a peaceful settlement. He learned from Unas leader Iron Shirt that the SGC had desecrated an Enemy Mine in which many ancestors had been worked to death, and that all the tribes would fight to protect it. Could Daniel convince the Unas to join with the SGC to fight the Goa'uld or would the mining team be massacred?

Sam Carter's love of science - and adrenaline rush - got the better of her when old friend Warrick tantalised her with an honest-to-goodness Space Race. Warrick left the SGC with the naquadah reactor he needed - and Carter as co-pilot. Major/Doctor Carter insisted that if doing her duty had a certain element of, well, fun, what was a girl to do? She didn't expect to race a bunch of cheaters, fly into a sun, sabotage, aggravating passengers or ransom demands for Teal'c and Warrick's sarcastic brother Eamon, though…

Next, a seemingly brilliant idea to infect a specific Stargate with computer virus Avenger 2.0 disabled the entire gate network, stranding O'Neill and Teal'c off-world among hostile Jaffa and Daniel in a catastrophic flood. Carter and Avenger creator Dr. Jay Felger couldn't comprehend how things had gone *that* wrong - or what they could do to fix it.

Teal'c's warrior heritage received a very different kind of challenge when the team encountered a clan of fierce, tightly-bonded female Jaffa warriors in search of both help and an alliance. Proud leader Ishta battled Teal'c with wits and staff but refused to let pride - his or hers - stand in the way of helping her sisters, whose Birthright was death in the fires of their 'god' Moloc and genetically engineered dependence on symbiotes. Tretonin seemed an obvious answer, but the drug was untested. As was the relationship slowly developing between Ishta and Teal'c.

The Evolution of a new Goa'uld super-soldier led Daniel into the jungles of Honduras in search of a legendary artefact reputed to be the source of the fountain of youth myth, while Jacob Carter and Bra'tac helped the rest of SG-1 to capture one of the near indestructible new drone warriors. To their astonishment, they found the drone's strength and resilience came from the healing power of an enslaved Goa'uld symbiote. Meanwhile, having located the artefact which could hold the key to defeating the drones, Daniel and Dr. Lee were kidnapped by rebels.
