Pay cable channel Showtime premieres the 50th episode of Stargate SG-1. Sam J. Jones, star of the 1980 movie version of Flash Gordon, guest stars. 
Not far from the stargate on a distant world, SG-1 is captured within a force field by a man named Aris Boch, who proclaims himself to be the galaxy’s greatest bounty hunter…and declares SG-1 his latest catch, wanted alive by the System Lord, Sokar. Boch is willing to set O’Neill’s team free, however, if they help him capture an even more valuable prize who happens to be another Goa’uld. After an unsuccessful attempt to ditch their captor and escape in his ship, the team reluctantly agrees to help Boch capture his next quarry. But when they do find the renegade Goa’uld, he gives himself up to O’Neill willingly and confides that he is not Goa’uld, but a Tok’ra agent whose capture could provide Sokar with the information needed to wipe out the Tok’ra. Of course, Boch is only watching his bottom line, regardless of the ethics of helping a System Lord who helped to enslave the bounty hunter’s own people. To Boch, the Tok’ra are no better than the Goa’uld. To Teal’c, the Tok’ra are fighting a noble cause – and saving this one might be worth a supreme sacrifice.
