An alien similar to Ra appears out of the Stargate, killing five soldiers and kidnapping another, a year after the original Stargate mission. A new team is assembled, including some old members, and they go in search of the missing soldier in order to find out how Ra could still be alive. Meanwhile, the alien Gou'ald kidnap Sha're and Skaara, implanting them with symbiotes and making them Gou'ald hosts.

It seems kind weird that the studio would re-release this episode. However, there is a good reason for it. I'm a big fan of Stargate SG-1, so I will be getting this eventually, even though I have all 10 seasons of the show and the 2 TV movies.
The studio's write-up of this 90-minute release describes it as "Re-mastered. Re-cut. Re-imagined. Remarkable! The thrilling pilot episode with exclusive special features and masterful fine-tuning from series Co-Creator Brad Wright is the ultimate realization of the series' iconic launch." It includes Commentary by Brad Wright and a bonus Featurette. There will also be a trailer included about Stargate Universe.

I didn't know this was available....and I'm very excited. I will be buying it immediately. I do not allow pornography in my home and was aghast when I saw Chidren of the God's. We had already seen and purchased series #2....and were hooked....before we saw this episode. It's been banned from viewing without skipping through it. It will be so pleasant to be able to sit down with the family and view this episode without skipping through pornography.
