Season Two — Old Friends
10 episodes. The Milky Way gets bigger.Teal'c is in perhaps three episodes, not ten. A Tok'ra character becomes the first genuine legacy semi-regular because Tok'ra longevity lets us do something wonderful with elapsed time.
| # | Title | What the audience thinks / what we're doing |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Forty Years | Jonas and Teal'c compare what happened after they last knew one another. |
| 2 | Children of No Gods | Young Jaffa who regard Goa'uld slavery as ancient history. |
| 3 | Host | Sounds ominously Goa'uld. Instead, our first encounter with a consensually blended non-Tok'ra symbiote. |
| 4 | Homeworld | Which homeworld? That's the entire trick. |
| 5 | The Other Side | Deliberately reuses an SG-1 title. Fans expect the old episode to matter. It doesn't—until one tiny detail at the end suggests someone has been cataloguing Langara's gate activity. The original SG-1 used the same title in Season 4, making the reuse itself an Easter egg. |
| 6 | The Tau'ri | Huge ratings-bait title. No Earth. Instead we discover what other civilizations believe happened to Earth. |
| 7 | The Fifth Nation | Echoes The Fifth Race without copying its story. A political episode about Langara joining a new interstellar compact. |
| 8 | Lights On | They discover the abandoned Tau'ri installation. |
| 9 | Unknown | They access its surviving database. Final shot: ATLANTIS — STATUS UNKNOWN. |
