DVD, Stargate SG-1 S1 (Emancipation)
The tents were a good bet for saving on sets, the horseback riding in lush woodland was a nice visual for a sci-fi series, and there was a good mix of morals, humour and danger. The other characters came across as seeming a bit weak, as they didn't really initiate anything, and were mostly reactive to the events.
But at least Carter got to show some fighting flair. Even so, it seems unlikely she'd have been able to beat a warrior used to fighting, when she had only trained a bit. Maybe he underestimated her and she'd been practicing? It made up for the degrading moments in the rest of the episode. I suppose it was the first episode not to be really interesting, but it did come after a couple of good ones, to be fair.
