“Meridian” is episode twenty-one of season five of Stargate SG-1.
This episode starts with Daniel coming through the stargate having received a lethal dose of radiation, after visiting an alien planet. As the rest of the team tries to negotiate and find out what happened, Daniel is dying, despite their best efforts to save him.
Ona Desala, who was met in “Maternal Instinct” – she was an ascended Ancient as I thought – offers a solution for Daniel.
I’ve been waiting for the events of this episode. I don’t believe I’ve seen it, but I knew it was going to happen. This also sees the first appearance of Jonas Quinn and the element naquadria.
If I hadn’t seen Stargate Atlantis and Universe prior to seeing this, it would have been a rather different episode. There’s a reason for watching series in the correct order if you can – it avoids spoilers.
