    Pi

    Yeah...Pi is the Diameter to the circumference, not the radius to the circumference. Usual good stuff from SG1 otherwise.

    What a mighty entry

    This episode is a turning point for sg-1. Well made, well thought out episode where we finally see one of the most advanced race "enter the game" after so much time of keeping busy with the scavenger goualds. Sure we met the Nox and the Nollan. But those always kept to themselves. This shifts sg-1 into second gear. The universe just got a lot bigger.

    Other then that, you have to love the look the Asgard were given by the producers. Keeping in theme with "what if it happened today" and not 2300, their look makes sense. Also their intelligence, curiosity and power. I wish there were a whole lot more episodes in this theme instead of the gouald.

    First Encounter

    General Hammond sends a probe to Cimmeria and the SG-1 receives a request for help from Gairwyn. They realize that the destruction of Thor's Hammer to save Teal'c has made the planet vulnerable to the Goa'uld invasion and they feel responsible for fate of the people. They decide to return to help the locals and Daniel, Samantha and Gairwyn have an encounter with Thor.

    "Thor's Chariot" is a good story and the first encounter between humans and Gods. Thor's real appearance is a great surprise and the special effects are very good. My vote is eight.

    Thor... is that you?

    Decent episode throwing it back to a world visited in season one and following up on the same storyline. Some good action moments and one strange revelation.

    • Trivia
      O'Neill and Teal'c set a few olive drab, slightly curved, "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY", booby traps right next to the path. Those are M18A1 claymore mines. When one of those goes off, 1.5 pounds of shaped charge C4 sends out 700 steel balls at over three times the speed of sound. The balls disperse in a 60 degree spread from the mine. Anything within about 150 feet of the front of a claymore is pretty much shredded. Therefore they are usually placed to hit an area at least 50 feet away from the mine.
    • Goofs
      While this episode is supposed to be set on the same planet (Cimmeria) as the first season episode "Thor's Hammer", the physical setting of the Stargate, and the landscape around it, are very different between the 2 episodes.
