We have arrived: it’s Stargate SG-1 season finale time! And this episode reminds you exactly why this show is so damn good.

In this review, I get into why "Within the Serpent’s Grasp" is such a strong follow-up to "Politics." SG-1 decide they can’t not act, so they go rogue — and good thing they did, because of course they were right. More right than even they knew.

And just when the stakes couldn’t get any higher… Skaara enters the frame, and suddenly it becomes all the more personal.

This is SG-1 at its best: heart, action, and inspirational moral courage all wrapped into one — only to leave us hanging on that epic cliffhanger.
