This week on Star(X), Mike and Jenae tackle one of the most emotional episodes of Season 1: "Singularity."

What starts as a routine mission to observe a black hole quickly turns into a humanitarian disaster when SG-1 discovers an entire civilization, and SG-7, wiped out by a deadly plague. Amid the tragedy, they find a lone survivor—Cassandra—a frightened young girl who soon forms a powerful bond with Samantha Carter.

We discuss the episode's mix of science fiction and heart, Carter's growing maternal instincts, the Goa'uld's terrifying long-game strategy, and why this episode remains one of the strongest early showcases for Sam as a character. We also talk about Jack O'Neill's surprisingly deep knowledge of black holes and the emotional ending that still hits hard nearly 30 years later.

Join us as we break down the science, the drama, the character moments, and the unforgettable introduction of Cassandra.

In this episode:
⭐ Sam Carter's defining character moment
⭐ Cassandra's introduction to the Stargate universe
⭐ Goa'uld schemes and Trojan horse tactics
⭐ Jack O'Neill: amateur astronomer?
⭐ Black holes, naquadah, and questionable science
⭐ Our favorite moments, quotes, and observations

Solving for Sci-Fi one episode at a time.
