Stargate SG-1 (TV Series) The Tok'ra: Part 1 (1998) User Reviews

Enjoyable episode (or two)

[fig-75275 · 8/10 · 21 June 2020]

I quite enjoyed watching this one. It didn't stretch my brain very much, but there were a few reminders of other great sci-fi: Sarah Douglas was in Superman II and Babylon 5, The Tok'ra reminded me of Dax from DS9, and there is also a Babylon 5 episode that explores similar ideas too. Finally, the end of the first half reminded me of a scene in Buck Rogers, and I didn't mind that at all!

Meeting the Tok'ra

[claudio_carvalho · 6/10 · 29 August 2015]

Sam has glimpses of Jolinar and the Tok'ra in a cave in her brain and the SG-1 convinces General Hammond to go to a planet to meet the Tok'ra and propose an alliance against the Goa'uld. The SG-1 arrives in a desert area and soon they are surprised by the Tok'ra that are hidden under the sand. Sam recognizes Martouf and explains that she has Jolinar's partial memories, while Jack asks a meeting with their leader. The Tok'ra bring them to underground tunnels where they meet Garshaw of Belote. The SG-1 and the Tok'ra are suspicious with each other and the SG-1 does not accept to host a Goa'uld. Soon the SG-3 appears in the planet to summon Sam to visit her father that is terminal, but the earthlings are not allowed to return to the SG Command.

"The Tok'ra: Part 1" is a predictable episode of "Stargate SG-1". What the SG-1 would expect from the alien Tok'ra that are hunted down by the Goa'uld? A welcome party? They come to a planet without anything to offer but good faith to a resistance group. My vote is six.

Slow

[Calicodreamin · 6/10 · 24 January 2022]

This episode progressed very slowly hinging on philosophical conversations that didn't go far to develop either characters or race. Acting and effects were decent.
