But against his wishes, Carter and Teal'c also beam on board and (Daniel stays on Earth because of an Appendicitis) and coordinate efforts with Thor to retake the bridge and crash the ship in the atmosphere to burn it up. Since the Replicators destroy these plans, Teal'c risks his life to plant a bomb on the outside of the hull. Thor's vitals crash and Carter activates the stasis pod he's in to preserve his life. With the bomb placed all SG-1 has to do is wait for the right time to detonate it. But now they have to figure out how to get off the ship. SG-1 transports the Alpha gate, the gate at Stargate Command, on board, and SG-1 plan to gate to P3X-234 and then home to the Beta gate. While O'Neill and Carter cover the gate from a huge swarm of Replicators, Teal'c activates the gate manually. O'Neill blows the bomb and the ship tumbles out of control and crashes in the Pacific Ocean. However while the ship sinks we see that one Replicator survived. 

[edit] Production

  • "Deadman Switch" is the first episode in which the Stargate is not seen.
  • "Demons" was Carl Binder's first and only contribution to Stargate SG-1. He would later become a staff writer on the spin-off series Stargate Atlantis.
  • The urban outdoor scenes of Tollana in "Pretense" were shot on the main campus of Simon Fraser University (S.F.U.) in Burnaby, a small city just east of Vancouver.
  • Actor Dom DeLuise, who played Urgo and Togar in "Urgo", is the father of director Peter DeLuise, and Urgo's transformation into an Air Force officer was played by Peter. "Urgo" marked the first time a DeLuise guest-starred on the show. Dom's sons Peter, Michael, and David, Dom's daughter-in-law and Peter's wife, Anne Marie, had on-screen roles in later seasons. Dom DeLuise ad-libbed most of his lines. According to the Official Guide to Seasons Three and Four, very few scenes include Teal'c, since actor Christopher Judge couldn't keep a straight face.[1]
  • Jackson's appendicitis in "Nemesis" reflected Michael Shanks' real-world condition; it was written into the script at the last minute because the writers needed to drastically reduce Shanks' role to allow for his recovery. Shanks' scenes in the episode were actually shot a week after filming of the episode was completed.[citation needed]
  • When Seth is killed in "Seth", Jack O'Neill's "Hail Dorothy" is a reference to The Wizard of Oz.
