I really like that one! I'm big on atmospheric episodes. Dank prison sequences where likable heroes have to overcome cruel pseudo-fates always do it for me.
Fourth season's memory-loss ep is a much better example of it though.
As below-average as the first season is compared with later seasons, it definitely has a superior season finale/premiere sequence than the second season/opening to the third does. Not that Out of Mind and Into the Fire are bad, although Out of Mind having clipshow elements is pretty saddening for a season finale. But that two-parter up there is just great, great stuff for early SG-1, and holds up well today.
