Children Of The Gods" takes off where the feature film ended. The enemy "Ra", who was thought to be destroyed in the film, is believed to have come back to attack again, forcing O'Neill(Anderson) to go through the stargate once again to see if he can find Jackson, who stayed behind in the ending of the film. This first episode, which runs a little over 90 minutes, has on display all of the positive aspects of the production. The special effects are really quite good for a television production(according to the booklet included, the film was nominated for an Emmy for Best Special Effects in a series), and the performances and dialogue are excellent. It's a hard thing for a television show to improve upon the movie version, but this 90 minute episode does it - a great story and wonderful cast make it grandly entertaining.
