Earth has a Goa’uld problem… and SG-1 just walked right into it.
In this episode of the Star(X) Podcast, Mike and Jenae dive into the Season 1 finale of Stargate SG-1, “Within the Serpent’s Grasp.”
After the Stargate program is shut down, SG-1 decides to take matters into their own hands and uses the coordinates from Daniel’s alternate-reality experience to travel through the Stargate. But instead of arriving on another planet, they find themselves aboard a Goa’uld mothership.
And it gets worse.
The ship is heading straight for Earth, carrying A Klorel—the Goa’uld now controlling Skaara. With an invasion fleet on its way, SG-1 has to figure out how to stop the attack, rescue Skaara if they can, and somehow get back home before Earth becomes the Goa’uld's newest conquest.
We talk about SG-1 going rogue, the insanity of boarding a Goa’uld ship headed for Earth, Skaara’s fate, Jack’s attempt to reach the person still trapped inside Klorel, and that massive Season 1 cliffhanger.

What is STAR(X) PODCAST?
Welcome to Star(X) Podcast, the sci-fi rewatch show where we’re always Solving for Sci-Fi.
Hosted by Mike and Jenae, this podcast dives deep into the worlds of science fiction television — breaking down episodes, unpacking character arcs, exploring lore, and revisiting the moments that made us fall in love with the genre in the first place.
We’re starting our journey with Stargate SG-1 — traveling through the gate one episode at a time with thoughtful recaps, behind-the-scenes insights, and plenty of debate. But the “X” in Star(X) is a variable — and once we solve for it, it could lead us anywhere in the sci-fi universe.
