The Enemy Within

Kawalsky ended the last episode with a larval Goa’uld in his head. After the Goa’uld took control of Kawalsky’s body in this episode, he started acting like a big, mean jerk and demanded to be sent back to Chulak. Why did the Goa’uld have such a bad attitude? I’m guessing he was not content wearing that drab military uniform. He would have felt much more comfortable in a robe fashioned out of a 1970’s loveseat. Maybe something with a little fringe.

The team tried to remove the parasite from Kawalsky, but ultimately it was too late. After a brief struggle with Teal’c, the back of Kawalsky’s head was snipped off when the wormhole disengaged. This was accentuated with a dramatic eye twitch and what appeared to be an overcooked dumpling that fell to the floor. Kawalsky was dead. We hardly knew him.

A couple interesting things happened in this episode. Jack made his first Wizard of Oz reference. “That’s right Dorothy, it was all a dream.” The franchise also started its tradition of killing doctors, as Dr. Nimziki was on the receiving end of a broken neck. Poor guy never saw it coming.


Teal’c decided to try something a little different this episode and wore his tattoo upside down for a while. I bet that hurt.

My Rating: 7/10
