sinanjuWow. I just watched this week's episode of Stargate: SG-1 and it was like watching the show from years earlier. SG-1 visit a new world by walking through the stargate! It's a first contact situation--though they don't know that at first. The stargate is in a museum, not a crypt as they thought from MALP observations. Which meant that when they tried to leave (to avoid an unplanned first contact) it turns out the the DHD near the stargate* was a mock-up. It was useless.
This all led to various misunderstandings, gunfire, hostage taking, demand making, negotations and political intrigue. In short, it the sort of adventures SG-1 often had in the early years and not the tedious, never-ending quests for various superscience/mystical maguffins we get most of the time now. It was gloriously entertaining. I wish they were still doing episodes like this on a regular basis.
*Not being entirely dim, if the MALP cannot find a DHD in the area when exploring a new gate address, they don't send a team through since they can't dial home.
