One thing that kinda bothered me back in the day with this show.... They experience a number of different impossible scenarios every mission, yet somewhere down the line they seem to throw that thought process out the window.

Carter, in her infinite wisdom, brings back a device that's emitting some kind of energy (you'd think that'd be an instant red flag because of what's happened in the past) without knowing what it was and what it's emitting. Then a few moments later, Jonas sees the creature and the team writes him off as crazy almost immediately. They've encountered aliens, energy beings, invisible tech, and literally invisible monsters (Reetou in season 2: Show & Tell). Even though they did search the base, you'd think they'd give him the benefit of the doubt since it occurred after bringing the device to the base.

One final note though, Carter is indeed crazy.

The SG-1 brings an alien device that was activated when Jonas touched it. On the arrival at the SGC, Jonas sees a weird bug flying through the wall. However nobody else sees the insect and General Hammond believes Jonas is stressed. But soon Teal'c and O'Neill see also creatures and Hammond orders Sam to deactivate the device and take it back to the planet where it was found. But they find that the action is ineffective and they bring back the device. Sam and Jonas discover that the device is harmless and only shows creatures from another dimension for study purpose. But the problem is the panic the sightings will bring to ordinary people. What will they do?

"Sight Unseen" is an average episode of "Stargate SG-1" with an entertaining and forgettable story about creatures from another dimension. There are funny and silly moments but in the end it is worthwhile watching. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Sight Unseen"

A goofy episode that lacked any character development or real purpose. The effects were decent but far too few. The resolution was interesting but lacked depth.
