DEMONS - Eposode #51
B>NOTES OF INTEREST:
- The villagers, an early Christian culture using pre-Chaucer English, were probably taken from Medieval Europe through the Antarctic gate. The Canon is the spiritual leader who chooses the sacrifices, uses a ring handed down by generations of village canons to summon lightning, and forbids the villagers to look upon the Circle of Darkness. SG-1 has taken the ring, and the villagers will bury the gate.
- Unas is a species, the first hosts of the Goa'uld. Unas visited the village as a demon, in the service of Sokar, in the role of Satan, claiming human sacrifices to be used as host bodies.
- The trepanning ritual is a procedure often done in the Middle Ages in which a hole would be drilled into a person's head so that the evil spirits are released, thus saving the person from eternal damnation.
- The tests of witchcraft include the Mark of the Devil, in which a mark on the body is insensitive to pain, and the Water Test, in which a victim who floated was guilty and burned at the stake, and one who drowned was innocent.
- Teal'c survived drowning by putting himself into a deep state of kelno'reem, during which time the symbiote, in its natural environment, filtered the oxygen from the water and fed it to Teal'c.
Injuries:
- O'Neill, Carter, Jackson, Teal'c: struck by lightning
- Teal'c: drowned
