1. Children Of The Gods

The main memory many cast and crew members have from the shooting of "Children Of The Gods" was the torrential rain, thathindered the shoot.

Brad Wright says: "The First day of filming we had rain on a scale that was practically a disaster. Talk about the wrath of the Gods!"

The make up supervisor had to try to prevent the extras costumes and "dirt" make-up from being ruined:

"We had Apohis and Tealc covered in gold dust, which meant they had to be kept completely dry and away from any surface which might mar the sheen on their skin." she says.

Peter Williams (who plays Apophis) says that his costume was dangerous too:

"I had two different versions of the headress: one made of rubber, which weighed around 60 pounds, and one where the visor moved up and down which weighed much more. The whole thing came and went within a centimetre of the tip of my nose. My frame of reference was the back of the helmet. If my head touched it, Id be ok."

2. The Enemy Within

Jay Acovone, who played Major Kawalsky gives his thoughts on why the character was killed off in the second episode:

"I was told that thy wanted the guy who played him in the movie, but apparetnly he didnt want to do a series. They then said to him How about if we kill Kawalsky off in the first show? When I came on board, I told them I wanted to do a sreies very much, but the producers didnt have approval to do anything else, so I got killed off. Thats my story and Im sticking to it!"

3. Emancipation

Amanda Tapping tells how she hated this whole episode... especially the dress:

"I remember that dress. When the SG-1 guys and the crew first saw it they all went Woo hoo! I just looked at them and said, You know guys, smoke and mirrors, smoke and mirrors. Theres a lot of push me-pull you working here. Thats all it was and thats all its ever going to be!"

She wasnt the only one who didnt like the episode:

"It was too preachy, and we quickly realised we shouldnt be that preachy. Science fiction is a very good medium for having little moral tales and subtle messages built into the stories, and thats what we were trying to do." says Jonathon Glassner.
