Stargate SG-1: Bane Rewatch

March 5, 2025 10:08 AM - Season 2, Episode 10

O'Neill and the SG-1 team are attacked by giant insects as they explore planet BP6-3Q1. Teal'C is stung by the animals, and after returning through the stargate, a strange change happens to him.

On a mission, Teal'c is stung by a bug which overwhelmed the planet's previous civilization. He soon falls ill, and his symbiote can't heal him. To make matters worse, the NID takes him away to study the effects of the bite. However, he manages to escape and is on the loose. Both the SGC and NID attempt to find him, but things take a serious turn when Jack, Sam, and Daniel return with evidence showing that the planet's population has already fallen to the bugs. It becomes a race to stop a possible worldwide infestation.

This definitely gets into body horror with Teal'c and his transformation. Certainly the goo and Teal'c's face get me. Love how villainous the NID get to be.

Yeah I think everyone had fun camping this up, charismatic cliche-wielding child actor included.

Apparently the actor would later go on to become the teen Cassie which is cool.

The Plaza of Nations in Vancouver was used on the opening which was cool. Richdeananderson.com
