    Alien Love

    While exploring a destructed planet, the SG-1 finds a strange device that might be a weapon. Out of the blue, Sam faints and the team returns to the SGC. General Hammond gives a leave to Sam to recover. However Sam finds that an alien entity has followed her back home and communicates only with her. When she reports to the SGC, her house is bugged but nobody finds any evidence of the alien form and her colleagues believe she is crazy. Meanwhile the being takes a human form of a man called Orlin to better contact with her and he falls in love with her. He also discloses how dangerous the device is, but the Pentagon does not believe in her.

    "Ascension" is a romantic episode of "Stargate SG-1" with Sam and an alien falling in love with each other. The romance recalls "Starman" and is well-resolved in the end, since Samantha Carter can not leave the series. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Ascension"

    Welcome home baby

    Well that is one good looking alien, I wouldn't mind coming home from work to that stud. Why did it feel super weird to see Carter at home? Wtf was with Teal'c in the cowboy hat and fringed jacket? I feel like that didn't get enough attention.

      The car Samantha Carter drives is a 1961 Volvo P1800.
    • Goofs
      General Hammond wears two badges - Command Pilot's Wings and Master Space and Missile (later changed to Master Space Operations badge). The Wings should always be above any other badges. In this episode they are reversed.

      Jack O'Neill: Nine times. If Teal'c likes it, it's gotta be okay.

      Major Samantha Carter: You've never seen Star Wars?
