After a particularly rough ride through the Stargate, SG-1 arrives on a planet with a Norweigan-like society. As they meet the villagers, the sky and the sun suddenly change to an orange-red color, rendering the whole planet in an orange glow.
The villagers immediately think it's Ragnarok, the End of Dawn, while Samantha discovers that the wormhole they came through must have gone directly through the sun. Some heavy elements must have triggered a reaction inside the sun, so that its light pattern changed, and the planet's plant life will be destroyed.
While the locals start praying to Freyr, an Asgard posing as a god, SG-1 tries contacting the Asgard in a more effective way. When the Asgard decline to intervene, the team needs to try and reverse the reaction in the sun on their own.

Episode Notes -  |
Brian Jensen, who voiced Freyr in this episode, appeared as a Jaffa high priest back in Season One's "Bloodlines."
Martin Wood and Dan Shea (Sgt. Siler) are together in a scene (working on the rocket component) with the recurring giant wrench.
Designation for K'Tau: P39-965.
Director's cameo: Martin Wood is a technician working on the rocket.
K'tau is protected by the Asgard Freyr.
Trivia:
Solar flares are extremely rare when compared to the overall surface area of a star, as well as being relatively small. The chance of hitting one with no foreknowledge of where and when a flare would happen is probably at least 1,000:1. Perhaps even 1,000,000:1
If they passed through the sun to get there you'd think to get back they would have to in the least pass close to the sun. With all the problems of the sun wouldn't be likely they could hit a solar flare and end up back in time?
Dr. McClarren (who provides the "super heavy element") should be well aware that an element may not be named after a living person.
Quotes:
Jack: (trying to expose Freyr to the masses) Spaceship? Big machine like the one we were building, only his is way better and... not blown up. I'm not kidding you, folks. This little feller is about three feet tall, got clammy gray skin, big black eyes and skinny, tiny little arms and legs, like toothpicks.
(The sun does something funky)
Jack: Carter, what just happened?
Sam: Some sort of shift in the light frequency.
Jack: Good. I thought I was having a stroke.
Hammond: Have you considered other options?
Sam: The other option we considered turned out to be a one in a million shot, Sir. The rocket gives us better than 50/50 odds.
Hammond: Rockets don't exactly grow on trees, Major.
Sam: Yes, sir, but I think we can now increase that estimate to 1%.
Jack: It's your call, General. I only understand about 1% of what she says half the time...
Sam: Sir, I've been thinking...
Jack: I'd be shocked if you ever stopped, Carter.
Jack: I'm not asking you to change the course of their culture development or anything - just fix the damned sun!
Jack: I have great confidence in you, Carter. Go on back to SGC and confuse Hammond. |
