    The Dark Ages

    The SG-1 travels to a planet where the inhabitants are Catholic and live in the correspondent Middle Ages on Earth. They meet the woman Mary ready to be sacrificed because she has chicken pox and her husband explains that demons that come from the Stargate periodically collect human sacrifices to Satan. However, Jack realizes that the demons are Unas indeed and Satan is Sokar that needs new hosts. The SG-1 unsuccessfully try to convince the locals that they could fight and kill the Unas, but their leader tells that they are demons and subdue them using a powerful ring. Now the SG-1 joins Mary and they are chained for the sacrifice. How will they escape?

    "Demons" is another good episode of Stargate that uses the Dark Ages to show a people that might have come from Earth but still live in this period of history. The film is highly entertaining and well resolved, despite the weapons and gears of the SG-1 be left behind what was absolutely forbidden in "Star Trek". My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Demons"

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Daniel states that trepanning was a common medieval practice, and his reaction implies that it means almost certain death. Drilling holes in someone's skull to let the bad out was very common for a very long time in many cultures. Up to 10% of all stone age skulls discovered have evidence of trepanning and most of those show bone restructuring at the edges of the hole, meaning the patient lived long enough for the wound to heal. In an age when the most advanced tool was a sharp rock, not only was trepanning common but it was commonly survived.

      The inhabitants of the planet were theorised to have been taken from Earth through the Antarctic Stargate during the Middle Ages. Daniel estimates that this happened at least 1,000 years earlier. However, when subjecting Teal'c to the trial by water, the Canon recites the Prayer to St. Michael, which was composed by Pope Leo XIII in 1886.
    • Quotes

      Teal'c: I know of no Goa'uld capable of showing the necessary compassion or benevolence that I've read of in your bible.

      Jack O'Neill: You read the bible Teal'c?

      Teal'c: It is a significant part of your western culture. Have you not read the bible O'Neill?

      Jack O'Neill: Oh yeah, yeah... not all of it. Actually I'm listening to it on tape. Don't tell me how it ends.
