While visiting the planet of the Volians that dedicate to agriculture, the SG-1 meets the Aschen that are technologically advanced trading with the Volians. They offer to trade their technology with the Earthlings; in return, they request the presence of a representative to negotiate the location of other Stargates. The SG-1 has a meeting with prominent military and the ambassador Joseph Faxon is assigned to return to the planet with the SG-1. While Faxon, Jack and Samantha have a meeting with the Aschens Borren and Mollen, Daniel an Teal'c snoop around to learn the opinion of the Volians about his commercial partners. Daniel and Teal'c stumbles upon a hole and they find an ancient civilization in ruins buried under the fields. Soon they learn that the Aschen are not what they seem to be and they had destroyed the Volians to use their land for agriculture. Further, they understand why Jack sent a note advising the SGC to never go to the Aschen planet. However their greedy superiors refuse to accept the truth interested in the Aschen's technology.
'2001" could have been a great episode of "Stargate SG-1". However the idea of entwining politics and the United States as the representative of all the people on Earth is ridiculous. The series should stay as a sci-fi adventure only. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "2001"
