->''[[Film/TheRussiansAreComingTheRussiansAreComing "The Russians are coming."]]''
-->'''-- Dr. Daniel Jackson'''
SG-1 joins forces with the Russians to search for a missing team who are believed to have disappeared inside an ancient tomb on another planet back when the [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E7Watergate Russian stargate program]] was still operational. The mission goes awry when they accidentally seal themselves inside the tomb, and tensions between the two parties run high as they are stalked by a mysterious flesh-eating creature while desperately trying to find a way out.
First appearance of Colonel Chekov.
----
!!"The Tomb" provides examples of the following tropes:
* AncientTomb: As the title of the episode might suggest.
* ApocalypticLog: The journal of the Russian archaeologist is found, detailing what happened to the members of the original expedition. The [[ThatWasTheLastEntry last entry]] has him deciding to kill himself via cyanide pill after everyone else is dead.
* BlatantLies:
-->'''O'Neill:''' General, you know I'm a big fan of the Russians and international relations are a bit of a hobby of mine...
* BoobyTrap: Col. Zukhov accidentally triggers one when he steps onto the platform where the sarcophagus sits, causing the entrance to the tomb to close and seal the search party inside.
* ContinuityNod: Zukhov mentions that he and SG-1 have a mutual friend in [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E7Watergate Dr. Svetlana Markoff]].
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Marduk's priests sealed him in his sarcophagus with a flesh-eating creature, knowing that the regenerative properties of the sarcophagus would keep him alive as he was being continually devoured. This becomes even worse after it's revealed that the symbiote eventually jumped into the body of the creature, leaving the presumably innocent human host to suffer in his place.
-->'''O'Neill:''' Okay, that is officially the ''worst'' way to go.
* CulturalPosturing: Happens on both sides, but O'Neill is by far the worst offender.
* CyanidePill: It's revealed that the teams sent through the Russian stargate were each given these, much to O'Neill's disgust.
* DueToTheDead: Lt. Marchenko is seen covering the corpse of one of the original Russian team members.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Marduk was apparently so evil that his own priests rebelled and overthrew him.
* HeroicSacrifice: Col. Zukhov pulls one of these at the end in a TakingYouWithMe moment to allow the others to escape.
* HeyCatch: Zukhov tosses the Goa'ulded Vallarin a live grenade, though it only slows him down briefly.
* InsistentTerminology: Daniel repeatedly informs O'Neill that the tomb is a ''ziggurat'', not a pyramid.
* LetsSplitUpGang: Happens several times throughout the episode, with predictably disastrous consequences. Also snarkily lampshaded by Daniel:
-->'''Vallarin:''' Wait here.
-->'''Daniel:''' Yes, you go down the dark hallway alone, and I'll wait here in the dark room alone.
* LoadBearingHero: Lt. Marchenko ''tries'' to do this, but the descending stone door he's trying to hold up ends up crushing him to death before anybody else has a chance to get through.
* {{MacGuffin}}: The Eye of Tiamat, which the Russian team has secret orders to retrieve.
* MexicanStandoff: O'Neill and Zukhov immediately turn their guns on each other when Carter reveals that Marduk has jumped hosts, each having compelling reasons to believe that the other is the Goa'uld. Naturally, it's neither of them.
* MundaneSolution: When Daniel points out that there is no visible control panel to open the sarcophagus, O'Neill simply rolls his eyes and levers it open with his knife.
* OhCrap: Happens twice: first of all when Carter realizes that Marduk is still alive, and then later when she is no longer able to sense the symbiote inside the creature and realizes it must have jumped into one of the humans.
* OutOfGenreExperience: One of the show's few forays into horror.
* POVCam: Happens a few times from the creature's perspective as it watches the characters wandering around the tomb.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: After Lt. Tolinev is bitten, the team have roughly two hours to find an exit and get her medical attention before the poison kills her.
* RedShirtArmy: All of the Russian characters die save for Tolinev, who is put out of commission after getting bitten by the creature but makes a full recovery at the end of the episode.
* SealedEvilInACan: The first Russian team inadvertently let both Marduk and the flesh-eating creature he was possessing out of the sarcophagus where he'd been sealed for several thousand years.
* SendInTheSearchTeam: SG-1 and Zukhov's team are ostensibly sent in to retrieve any survivors from the initial Russian expedition.
* SensorCharacter: Carter and Teal'c are able to use their ability to sense the presence of a Goa'uld symbiote to determine which members of the party are free from possession.
* SimilarSquad: Each member of the Russian team very roughly corresponds to a member of SG-1, with [[TheLeader Zukhov]] as O'Neill's counterpart, [[TheLancer Vallarin]] as Daniel's, [[TheChick Tolinev as Carter's]] and [[TheBigGuy Marchenko]] as Teal'c's.
* StrippedToTheBone: The bodies of the original Russian team, along with Marduk's host, have been entirely stripped of flesh after they were EatenAlive by the creature.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With SG-1 and the Russian team as a whole, although most of the animosity lies between O'Neill and Zukhov.
* WhatTheHellHero: At the end of the episode, Col. Chekov calls out O'Neill over the fact that SG-1 made it out intact while all members of the Russian team were killed save for one, who was seriously wounded. However, he does reluctantly admit that mistakes were made on both sides.
