Season 2 Episode 2: In the Line of Duty
Sam makes out with a dying villager and he “bites her tongue” which I guess is some old fart slang for “inserts full crawdaddy into her face orifice” which I guess could be seggsual enough to just be my boring retitle.
It’s good crawdaddy tho, because Sam is literally possessed by it. That’s at least one more than obsessed. Long story short, the crawdaddy dissolves into her body and is basically gone and Sam is bereft beyond consolation, the end.

Season 1 Episode 21: Within the Serpent's Grasp
Oh no but also thank gawd, Apophis chose someone the Gate Gang knows to host his son; because otherwise this show would be 100% over.
Oh no but also thank gawd, Sam set the timer for a way too long 24 hours (woot!) giving the Gang just enough time to achieve the very best outcome.
Oh no but also thank gawd, Problematic Daniel must be left behind on one ship but I think ends up doing a thing essential to the overall mission success from said ship?
Thank goodness serpents don’t have hands for grasping, and the team (and Earth) make it out this time and justify a more inflated budget for the SGC (and probably, hopefully, the actual show).

Season 1 Episode 19: Politics
This’ll be good, even if, as The Real Title Suggests, It’s Bad:
OK, so for no apparent reason other than tension and a ballooning future budget and program, someone wants to shutter the SGC. Senator Kinsey gets all up in the SGC biz like he’s the only senator in the world, like he’s Joe Manchin, like he’s Kyrsten Sinema. That kind of vibe. It really plays against Daniel’s batshit-sounding assertions that he’s dimension traveled and the world will end without our fearless Gate Gang.

Season 1 Episode 18: Tin Man
Cumtryah Mother Fuckers!
The Gate Gang is being all weird. Turns out they’re robut copies of themselves. Creepy.
This show is major on body horror, because the robuts think they’re people, LOL! Anyhoo, that’s not even the amazing or unbelievable part. The real suspension of disbelief comes in when we’re all asked to accept that these robut doubles are left functional next to a functional gate. Robuts programmed to be just like SG-1 promise not to use the gate. What could go wrong?

Season 1 Episode 17: Solitudes
OOOOOooooo! We’re surprised that ice cave isn’t turned into a steam cave!
Sparks fly between Captain Doctor Carter and MacGyver because they think they’re about to die on a mysterious ice cave planet with a dial home device buried in summa that ice! O’Neill is too wounded for things to get out of hand with is a good thing, because they’re on the ice-cavey part of EARTH!

Season 1 Episode 16: Enigma
The Gate Gang saves a group of highly advanced human-looking aliens. In an effort to “alienate” them, Carter gives the sexy one a cat*. But then he introduces her to his people’s custom of lip pressing, but she already knows that one! Anyway, they’re like, our first useful ally. But they are rude as hell.
*J/K, we here at SG-Fun love cats and dogs equally.

Season 1 Episode 15: Cor-Ai
Oh snap! Teal'c is going to have to answer for his war crimes as the First Prime of Apophis! Wait though, hasn’t he been clearing brush and painting pictures of horses and war veterans?
Shouldn’t we just forgive, forget, and let him go? Loyalty to a loved character vs. loyalty to ideology all wrapped up in this one.
