It’s a Daniel episode! We’re on a planet where Danny-boy’s unfortunate tendency to die lands him in the wrong sarcophagus, and also in the grip of an impressively toxic woman. While the rest of SG-1 is put to slavery in the naquadah mines, Daniel realizes that taking a sarcophagus nap feels good. Maybe a little… too good? Oh no, this is a very special episode about drugs! We’ve been Beer Badded!
Yeah so this is a pretty thin plot. Daniel gets addicted, SG-1 is mining, then the plot sorta resolves itself and Daniel goes into withdrawal. Michael Shanks does take the opportunity to put some footage in his Emmy nomination roll (unsuccessfully, as it would turn out), and gives us some good addict acting. And facial contortions to sell the pain of withdrawal.
