The Tok'Ra
Solid intro to one of the few allies to the SGC that don't completely suck. I love the crystal tunnel stuff, and the named Tok'Ra are alright.

Spirits
I love Tonane. Just 100% go with the flow kinda guy. It's really convenient that trinium looks exactly like someone spray painted something silver. It's also really convenient that it was the NID that suggested doing a colonialism and not anyone from the SGC or the Air Force.

Touchstone
Those pesky NID, always scheming. I'll give Tom McBeath props. When they discovered the second Stargate was just the prop they use to film on location he given Mayborne just the right amount of not quite selling the "it's missing, that's weird" reaction.

The Fifth Race
The Asgard are probably my favorite part of the wider Stargate universe. This is a foundational episode for the series going forward. It finally sets the ball rolling on all of the Asgard stuff and it sets up all of the Ancient stuff, including their habit of leaving dangerous poo poo just lying around, fully functional, with no instructions.

A Matter of Time
This is one of the cooler episodes of the series. The weird time dilatation loving with everything was neat. The weirdest thing was the subplot with the special forces guest star that apparently left Jack to die on a past mission. It didn't really go anywhere or add much in my opinion.
