An alien similar to Ra appears out of the Stargate, killing five soldiers and kidnapping another, a year after the original Stargate mission. A new team is assembled, including some old members, and they go in search of the missing soldier in order to find out how Ra could still be alive. Meanwhile, the alien Goa'uld kidnap Sha're and Skaara, implanting them with symbiotes and making them Goa'uld hosts.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This pilot was shot with a different actress as Carter, then reshot with Amanda Tapping after network interference about 'appeal.' She demanded the character stay military-first.
The symbiote concept let the show explore possession and bodily autonomy through sci-fi horror, sneaking darker themes past syndication standards.
