"Children of the Gods (Part 1 & 2)" is the first episode of the military science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. It was written by producers Jonathan Glassner and Brad Wright, the pilot was directed by Mario Azzopardi.
"Children of the Gods" is about the re-establishment of the Stargate program after the events of the original 1994 film. The story follows six characters from the film and three new ones created for the series. The central plot involves Apophis attacking the Stargate Command (SGC) and the surviving soldiers from the attack believing him to be Ra from the film.
One year previously, as depicted in the movie Stargate, Colonel Jack O'Neill led a team through the Stargate to the planet Abydos. After killing the Goa'uld System Lord Ra with a nuclear bomb, O'Neill returned to Earth with two survivors of his team, Charles Kawalsky and Louis Ferretti. They leave behind Dr. Daniel Jackson, with his new love Sha're (called Sha'uri in the movie) and her brother Skaara.
