List of episodes

"Enemy Mine" is the 7th episode from the seventh season of military science fiction adventure television show Stargate SG-1 and is the 139th overall. It was first broadcast on July 25, 2003, on the Sci-fi Channel. The episode was written and directed by Peter DeLuise.

In the episode, a Stargate Command survey team led by Colonel Edwards (Michael Rooker) is looking to determine whether the planet they're on contains the Naqahdah mineral required for the construction of interstellar battleships, however they soon encounter a group of Unas who attack and kill one of Edwards men. In desperate need of the mineral, Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) enlists help from his old ally Chaka (Patrick Currie) to help curate a treaty.

The episode sees the return of Chaka, an Unas character first introduced in the season 4 episode "The First Ones", which was also written and directed by DeLuise. The character was last seen in the season 5 episode "Beast of Burden" having led an uprising against his human captors. The episode won a Leo Award for "Best Make-Up in a Dramatic Series".
