   Threshold

   It's part 3 of a two-parter. In this one, the Stargate SG1 team has to get one of their own back! Teal'c has been brainwashed, and Braytac knows there is only one way to undo it...take Teal'c to the very Threshold of death, forcing him to relive the moments of his life that led him to where he is, and more importantly WHO he is, and see if he can come back from that. Something Star Trek would never do, but will it work here? And if you would like to talk to us about this episode, all emails can be sent to thebadnerds@gmail.com. This show is produced Bad Nerds.
