One of the better season 1 entries, although that's not saying much at this point. It's been a good few years since I've seen this and I was shocked at how cheap it all felt - it was never like that in my memory! Ah, nostalgia.
Anyway, this expands the Stargate lore to include Norse mythology and gives us our first mention of Thor and Asgard. It's also funny to think that back when I first watched this I had very little familiarity with the terms being thrown around. When the Marvel movies later came about I was like, ah I know all this from Stargate!
James Earl Jones adds some menace to the Unas creature here, and I found myself particularly liking Daniel's new found hope that Sha're may be saved (and Carter's slightly out of character stern behaviour). There's also some nice bonding for the team at the end and acknowledgment that Teal'c is part of their family.
But wow, this show is going to improve in future seasons.
Another planet
I could not understand if thor was real. That signals such as storms, lightnings or only beliefs. Image reflection of thor made me think maybe it is not real. In other planets, Goa'uld did same. Created some gods. Maybe this can be like that.
If thor's people did this planet and that defense mechanism, why did they put unas there? It is goauld creature.
In the end, i like episode.

Why didn't they bull rush Teal'c through? It is obvious it is more about the time in the doorway, not just passing through that is fatal to the Goa'uld. They could have easily pushed Teal'c through just like Teal'c pushed the Unas in...
Not to mention destroying the doorway lessened the security of the entire world...
