Ep 14. Hathor

SG-1 is a science-fiction television series that takes place in the present day. The show follows the exploits of a team of military personnel who travel through a portal called a stargate to different planets and galaxies to explore, learn, and fight against hostile aliens. In season 1 episode 14, titled "Hathor," SG-1 encounters a Goa'uld Queen who has awakened after being dormant for thousands of years.

The episode begins with SG-1 returning from a mission and stepping through the stargate to the SGC base. However, upon their arrival, they find the base under lockdown procedures. General Hammond orders them to turn over all their weapons and enter quarantine. SG-1 is suspicious and confused but complies with the orders. As they wait in quarantine, SG-1 begins to experience strange and disturbing dreams. In these dreams, they are visited by a beautiful woman who claims to be the goddess Hathor.

These dreams soon become a reality when the team wakes up to find that the mysterious woman has arrived at the base and taken control of the male personnel. Hathor is a Goa'uld Queen who has the power to control men's minds, and she has come to Earth to start a new empire. Hathor captures SG-1 and tries to brainwash them into becoming her loyal servants. However, Sam is immune to Hathor's mind control due to her strong willpower and training.

Hathor's plan is to use Sam's body to create a new generation of Goa'uld symbiotes, which she intends to use to conquer the galaxy. Meanwhile, Teal'c, who is not affected by Hathor's mind control also uses his symbiote's capabilities to break free and move around the base, helping SG-1 to overcome Hathor's forces. Together, SG-1 create a plan that involves sacrificing themselves to destroy Hathor's ability to create new symbiotes by destroying the equipment in which the embryos are being grown.

Ultimately, SG-1 is able to overpower Hathor and her forces, and they destroy the facility where the Goa'uld symbiotes were being developed. Sam, who was held as a prisoner by Hathor, makes it back to her senses and rejoins SG-1. The episode ends with SG-1 successfully defeating Hathor and returning to the SGC base.

In conclusion, "Hathor" is a thrilling episode of Stargate SG-1 that showcases the team's resilience and determination in the face of a powerful enemy.
