10 Most Underrated Stargate Episodes

9. The Other Guys - SG-1

Felger and Coombes could have had a movie all to themselves. They are the quintessential 'fools' who are actually very smart (they have to be, to work in the Stargate program). However, they're not trained soldiers at all. So, when they are off-world studying Goa'uld ring technology and SG-1 are kidnapped, they are not exactly the team that you would want coming to your rescue.

Both guest stars, Patrick McKenna and Enterprise regular John Billingsley, are on top form as the bumbling duo. It is a very light episode, something that SG-1 in particular was excellent at handling. There is one mishap after another, before both men get their chance at heroism along the way.

There was a minor controversy about the ending of the episode - just how much of the events were all in Felger's head - but it stands as a break away from the norm and a fun focus on two guest characters. Felger would return later, while Billingsley had his role as a Doctor to return to!
