Uninspiring Storyline
claudio_carvalho20 May 2018
The two nations of planet Tegalus has been living a Cold War for many years. When Sam, Daniel and Teal´c visit the planet, tension increases between the nations. Meanwhile the religious fanatic Soren, who worships the Stargate and the gods that built the device, increases the legion of his worshippers and explodes a war. Daniel is wounded and is treated by the wife of Jared Kane, who hosted Daniel in Tegalus. Daniel is considered missing by the SGC while he tries to contact them. Will he succeed?

"Icon" is an average episode of "Stargate SG-1". The uninspired and forgettable storyline is rushed and not well-resolved. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Icon"

Two pronged approach

Well developed storyline but new characters lacked depth which made it hard to care about their fate. Acting was good and the effects worked fairly well.

The Blood is Mine

Warning: Spoilers
The blood on Daniel Jackson's pillow disappears in the pre-title sequence, but by the end of this episode blood and brain fluid were pouring out of my ears. That's how bad this episode is.

For some reason all sci-fi shows love to have episodes that show all sides of a conflict are equal. America and its enemies, by extension, are equivalent, and our squabbles are insignificant.

That's true if there's no difference between spreading freedom and spreading tyranny.

This episode is a yawn from beginning to end. It's made even worse with the flashbacks. The story begins in the middle, flashes back to how things started, then moves to the end. The reason people sometimes start stories in the middle is to create false tension from the unknown. It's a cheap gimmick trying to mask a weak story. The gimmick always fails. It failed in this meaningless episode.
