SG-1 receives alien brain implants that manifest themselves as a bizarre man, who tells them that they would not survive the procedure to remove him.
“Urgo” Facts:
- Perhaps the funniest episode of Stargate ever, “Urgo” features legendary comedic actor Dom DeLuise — the father of actor-director Peter DeLuise, who directed this episode and dozens of hours of the Stargate franchise.
- Peter DeLuise often inserts himself into his episodes in small cameos. In this one he’s the young, handsome officer as whom Urgo briefly projects himself.
- Dom DeLuise is one of a handful of actors to portray two characters in the same episode — Urgo, and his creator Togar. (Michael Shanks also pulled off this feat when he played Ma’chello under heavy makeup in “Holiday.”)
- SG-1’s trip offworld in this episode was to find a site for an off-world research colony. They’d eventually succeed, as we would see in later episodes such as “Prodigy.”
- There are just too many great jokes to mention. What are your favorite moments from “Urgo?”

great and fun episode!!
don’t run with scissors……
Been watching all the seasons on DVD. Miss this show so much!! Dom did a great job.
It was so fun to watch this episode again. Made us laugh. I do miss Stargate. On a little rant, what has happened to TV now days? These so called reality shows that are put on shows and hyped. There really isn’t any good ol fashion shows to watch anymore. Shows like Stargate has real acting and only from such acting can such funny episodes like ‘Urgo’ come from.
