Notes & Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode of the series that references the Tau'ri. Tau'ri is the Jaffa word for people from the planet Earth and that they are considered the "First Ones".

Allusions[]

  • A reference is made to The Wizard of Oz in this episode. The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 fantasy film directed by Victor Fleming and produced by MGM (the same company that produces Stargate SG-1). It is based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. This is not the only time The Wizard of Oz will be referenced on the series. In "200", Vala Mal Doran pitches an "original" movie concept to the producers of Wormhole Extreme, which sounds suspiciously a lot like The Wizard of Oz.

....

  • Teal'c: I will pledge my allegiance to this world.
  • Colonel Jack O'Neill: I'm just not sure that's ever going to be enough for them to trust you. To be honest with you, I think they're scared of you.
  • Teal'c: I understand.
  • Colonel Jack O'Neill: You must be used to that by now, huh?
  • Teal'c: I am a Jaffa. I have served as a warrior for your enemy. I have carried your enemy within me.
  • Colonel Jack O'Neill: Yeah. Well it's kind of a human thing. We tend to be afraid of things we don't know.
  • Teal'c: Why is O'Neill not afraid?
  • Colonel Jack O'Neill: Teal'c, I saw you stand up to a god. You refused to kill. I saw you make that decision.
  • Teal'c: Yes.
  • Colonel Jack O'Neill: In that moment I learned everything I needed to know to trust you.
