Stargate SG-1:

Stargate SG-1: Urgo

« prev episode next » episode

SG-1 travels to a paradisical-appearing planet... only to step immediately back out of the Stargate with no memory of their trip. They soon find themselves engaging in odd behavior, and find out that a computer chip has been planted in their minds during their memory blackout. The program in the chip, Urgo, can manifest itself as a friendly-looking, curious entity, that only they can see, because it interacts directly with their perceptions. Urgo can influence their actions, and doesn't want to be shut down or sent back to his creator. The team has to contact Urgo's creator, Togar, and convince him to remove the chips, or shut down Urgo.

When SG-1 and Urgo are in Sam's lab, Urgo grunts just as Sam takes a sip of her tea. While it is meant to look like she accidentally spills tea on herself, you can clearly tell that she purposely pours the tea on herself. edit »
Early part of the episode: Urgo is talking to SG1 and Frasier and Hammond. O'Neill and Urgo are talking back and forth and O'Neill's guard keeps glancing over at Urgo, even though he supposedly can't see him. He also shifts around a lot and moves his head around all over the place. edit »
In the beginning of the episode, the shot of the team entering and then exiting the stargate is a reuse from the episode "1969." This would not matter except for the fact that Dr. Jackson had much longer hair in that shot than he does in the rest of the episode. edit »
When they showed Urgo's planet from the M.A.L.P. if you make the tape go slow you don't see the secret room that we saw when Carter did. edit »

Director's cameo: Peter DeLuise plays a younger version of old Urgo - played by Peter's father Dom DeLuise. edit »

Jack: Mmm, mineral survey, my favorite! edit »
Urgo: No. No, that�s not true. Oh. I�m pickin� your brains, you can pick my brains, I�ll tell you anything you want to know. Ask me. Ask me anything. What? What?
Teal'c: Tell us how to remove you from our brains.
Urgo: Oh. (blows raspberry) Except that... (scoffs) duh. edit »
(about to be turned off)
Urgo: Wait! I can be dull. Want me to be dull? (in a slightly monotone voice) What a nice shade of grey. How about some white bread with mayonnaise? Wanna watch golf on television?
Jack: Will you flip that switch?! edit »
Sam: A strong enough EM pulse can knock out most electronic based technologies. It would be harmless to us but should render Urgo impotent.
Urgo: Could you, uh... rephrase that? edit »
Urgo: I'm here to experience your world.
Daniel: So we've been tagged � like we do with animals in the wild when we want to study them.
Teal'c: We are not wild animals.
Urgo: Speak for yourself, big fella. edit »

Urgo: I�m melting! I�m melting! What a world! What a world!
These are some of the famous last words of the Wicked Witch of the West, played by Margaret Hamilton in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. edit »
(talking about Urgo) Jack: A famous tenor.
The famous tenor Jack refers to is Luciano Pavarotti. edit »

The Bottom Line: "A very special episode"
Urgo is an episode starring the usual SG1 members and guest starring funny man Dom Deluise in a double role. It is an episode jam packed full of SG1 suspense and a bit of Dom DeLuise comedy too. ...Continue »
