The Nox

The show started with a government official pressuring the team to find advanced technology. This led Teal’c to mention an animal that is capable of cloaking itself. Intrigued, the team sets off on a hunting expedition. 

Apophis happened to be on the planet when SG-1 arrived, so the team staged an ambush on the golden one. The trap failed horribly, as Jack, Sam, and Daniel were killed. Just as Teal’c was awaiting his fate, everyone vanished. 

The Nox, one of my favorite races in the stargate universe, saved the team and brought them back to life. The twig-covered pacifists were actually the ones capable of invisibility, and they had no interest in SG-1’s violent ways. Daniel spent some time with an elderly tree-licker trying to learn about the Nox and improve the relationship. However, our fighting with Apophis ultimately led the Nox to seal their gate and prevent our return. 

One of my favorite stargate moments occurred in this episode. A young Nox named Nafrayu walked up to Sam to introduce himself. You could see her heart melting while she was talking to the little guy, which caused Jack to say, “No, you can’t keep him.” 

My Rating: 9/10
