Bane

This felt like a very mid-season episode. Nothing too special. Go to a planet. No Go'Auld but everyone is gone (apparently not by their hand). CGI surroundings and some bugs that didn't look terrible. Until the CGI swarm maybe.

However, there was character named Ally. She helped an infirm Teal'c throughout the episode.

Always a gift to have a good supporting cast but when it's a kid, that's an extra shout out to the actor/actress and casting crew.

A quick IMDb search shows she hasn't been in anything else that I know, but respect to Colleen Rennison. She killed it in an otherwise mid-grade episode.

Great work by Christopher Judge (as usual), but especially by Colleen Dennison, who played the young girl Ally, but also plays the character Cassandra, the young girl that had a Go'uld bomb in her and who was adopted by Dr. Fraiser.

Great episode of stargate with a few heartfelt moments and some seriously big bugs. The resolution was well thought out and the storyline interesting. Fun ending.

I have to hand it to whoever did the effects work for Teal'c's wound and the bug. Very glad I was not watching this episode over dinner. As always, it's a treat to watch O'Neill's exasperation with Maybourne.

Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c visit a desert planet with skyscrapers and buildings but no living soul. Out of the blue, they are attacked by giant bugs and Teal'c is stung by one insect. The SG-1 needs to flee back home when a swarm of bugs fly toward them. Dr. Janet Fraiser examines Teal'c's infection and realizes that the virus left by the bug is killing Teal'c and his symbiotic is not healing him. Further, in his blood there is also a different DNA. Sam suggests to General Hammond to summon the prominent Dr. Timothy Harlow, who is an authority in DNA research. Soon Colonel Harry Maybourne comes to the SGC to take Teal'c with him. Hammond does not succeed to contact the President to overrule the order and Maybourne and his men take Teal'c in a van. However, Teal'c manages to escape and hides in an old building where the girl Ally helps him. Meanwhile the SG-1 returns to the planet to capture one bug alive for research and discovers what has happened to the inhabitants of the planet that were covered by a cocoon and transformed into several bugs. When Ally meets Teal'c against, he is covered by a cocoon. Will Teal'c be transformed into bugs too?

"Bane" is a good episode of Stargate SG-1, where the strong Teal'c is affected by an alien bug. The story is engaging and the detestable Maybourne has an important participation with his arrogant attitude. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Bane"
