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 peak Stargate magic: big 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 wrong, and Bra’tac and O’Neill proving that two very different warriors can still respect and learn from each other.

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.
