10 Most Underrated Stargate Episodes

5. Point Of View - SG-1

In Stargate's version of Kramer vs Kramer, two Carter's battle off for custody of Jack O'Neill.

OK, not really.

This fantastic sequel to season one's There But For The Grace Of God sees the quantum mirror, a device that allows access to other realities, return as a plot device, allowing a parallel version of Carter and for the return of Kowalski, the character who survived the events of the movie and pilot, only to die in the show's second episode.

There is a lot of action on show and the two Carter's make for an excellent back and forth. Seeing Teal'c in his full First Prime gear is always fun, along with his 'interesting' ponytail!

The episode also gives Don S. Davis a bit of stretching room for something to do with the character of Hammond, while also being a generally fun episode all around.

And, while Apophis is evil in any reality - seeing him with a mirror universe Spock beard is just an extra bit of fun for everyone to enjoy!
