“The Other Side” is episode two of season four of Stargate SG-1.
The stargate keeps opening and a signal is finally received from some people asking for help, as they are under siege. With the iris being closed every time, some of the people being sent through naturally died. After all, the iris is intended to prevent people coming through like that.
The people contacting them are more advanced than Earth, but are descended from Earth’s civilisation (like so many that are found through the stargate). General Hammond sends SG-1 through the gate with supplies, although military aid is not authorised. There are a lot more people that need rescuing than was initially thought, as there are thousands of people kept in stasis.
Daniel gets upset as to how the mission is handled, and it becomes a moral issue.
Rene Auberjonois guest stars (probably better known for playing Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space 9).
