The first information on
Stargate SG-1‘s mid-season two-parter has arrived! Written by executive producers
Joseph Mallozzi and
Paul Mullie and directed by
Andy Mikita,
“The Quest” returns SG-1 to the mission they first started in the Season Nine finale,
“Camelot.”Beware of
spoilers in the report below.The quest for the Holy Grail continues, as SG-1 hunts for the mythical
“Sangraal” — believed to actually be an Ancient device invented by Merlin, which can kill the ascended
Ori (“Camelot”). The Ori have launched a bloody crusade to convert our galaxy to forcible worship, and SG-1 hopes that if their “gods” are destroyed the followers will cease their campaign.The team visits a medieval-style village on another world, where they meet
Osric, a frail old librarian who keeps watch over all the village’s material related to the Sangraal. But they aren’t the only ones looking for it:
Baal is also searching for the device, and has already been here.Osric warns them that many have come to him looking for the Sangraal, and have died in their quest. The way is perilous (the woods in which it is said to be located was cursed by
Morgan Le Fay), and the legendary prize is guarded by a great dragon. Daniel doubts that it’s an
actual dragon …The team finally has a solid lead on where the Merlin’s anti-Ori weapon is … but Osric refuses to show them the map that Morgan left behind, as the last group of travellers — Baal and his minions — tried to steal it.Convincing Osric to show them the map is just the first of many challenges SG-1 faces. They must decipher ancient clues, overcome the “curse,” and even join forces with their enemy.Guest characters include Osric, Baal (Cliff Simon), Villagers, and a Barkeep.”The Quest” goes before cameras in late May, and is expected to air on SCI FI Channel in September as the mid-season cliffhanger. Part two will air in January.Learn more about Season Ten of
