Added DiffLines:

* HumansAreBastards: Aside from Daniel, pretty much everyone is OK with either eradicating the Unas or [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything forcibly relocating them]] simply because they're sitting on a giant hunk of naquadah.

* EnemyMine: Only comes into play at the end of the episode, when the Unas agree to work the naquadah mine in order to help the humans in the fight against the Goa'uld. The title of the episode is not actually a reference to this trope, however, but to the [[Film/EnemyMine film of the same name]].

Misuse. It\'s Genre Savvy, not just \"savvy\".


* ReplacementFlatCharacter: Edwards replaces O'Neill as the shoot-first-ask-questions-later military man clashing with Daniel's more diplomatic approach, since O'Neill is far too GenreSavvy not to at least hear Daniel out by now. This is duly lampshaded.

* {{Warhawk}}: Edwards' immediate reaction to the Unas threat is to increase his men's ammo rations and send out attack parties; he doesn't consider the possibility of a diplomatic solution.

A member of SG-11 is brutally killed while mining for naquadah on another planet, where it turns out his team have inadvertently provoked a tribe of native Unas by disturbing their sacred ground. Daniel wants to try and find a diplomatic solution to the problem, but clashes with Colonel Edwards, the leader of the mining operation, who favors a more violent approach.

----
!!"Enemy Mine" provides examples of the following tropes:
* AnkleDrag: Lt. Ritter gets dragged this way at the beginning of the episode.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Comes up a lot, since Col. Edwards is unused to dealing with Daniel and spends much of the episode totally bewildered by his unorthodox methods and complete lack of regard for military procedure. O'Neill informs him that despite the attitude problem, Daniel is usually ''right'' in such matters, and Edwards sums it up at the end of the episode:
-->'''Edwards:''' O'Neill was right about you. You ''are'' a pain in the ass... but well worth it.
* CallBack:
** Ritter being dragged away at the beginning of the episode is very reminiscent of when the same the happened to Daniel in [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E8TheFirstOnes "The First Ones"]].
** Daniel tries to [[Recap/StargateSG1S2E19OneFalseStep mime a spaceship]] in order to demonstrate to the Unas what the naquadah would be used for.
* ChekhovsGun: Daniel's lighter, which he gives to Iron Shirt as a peace offering at the episode's climax after demonstrating it to Chaka earlier on.
* ContinuityNod:
** Daniel mentions that Chaka helped lead an [[Recap/StargateSG1S5E7BeastOfBurden uprising of the Unas]] on another planet.
** General Vidrine makes a comment indicating that the ''Prometheus'' is still [[Recap/StargateSG1S6E20Memento stranded on Tagrea]].
* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Ritter is found this way after being taken by the Unas, along with several other corpses in various stages of decomposition.
* DueToTheDead: The Unas mourn their dead after the first clash with the humans.
* EnemyMine: Only comes into play at the end of the episode, when the Unas agree to work the naquadah mine in order to help the humans in the fight against the Goa'uld. The title of the episode is not actually a reference to this trope, however, but to the [[Film/EnemyMine film of the same name]].
* HappyPlace: O'Neill tells Daniel to go to his happy place when he starts bitching at Lorne for moving artifacts because they were "in the way".
* HeadbuttingHeroes: Daniel and Edwards don't really get along, though they do seem to develop some measure of respect for each other by the end.
* NonAnswer: When Daniel and Chaka attempt to make contact with the native Unas, Daniel asks how long they're supposed to wait. Chaka's answer is simply "as long as it takes".
* OhCrap: When Daniel realizes just how many Unas are living on the planet, and then again when ''hundreds'' of them appear on the ridge overlooking base camp, completely surrounding the humans.
* OneProductPlanet: The planet is coveted as a naquadah mine and not much else.
* OutOfFocus: Carter only appears for one very brief scene visiting O'Neill in the infirmary, with the excuse that she's busy overhauling the gate diagnostics system.
* TheRadioDiesFirst: A minor plot point throughout the episode is that the presence of naquadah somehow interferes with the radio signals, making it difficult for the various characters to get in contact with each other at times when they really need to do so.
* RedShirt: Lt. Ritter, whose unfortunate demise kicks off the episode.
* ReplacementFlatCharacter: Edwards replaces O'Neill as the shoot-first-ask-questions-later military man clashing with Daniel's more diplomatic approach, since O'Neill is far too GenreSavvy not to at least hear Daniel out by now. This is duly lampshaded.
-->'''Daniel:''' ''(to O'Neill)'' I guess I just spent a lot of time breaking you in, I just didn't wanna have to start with a new colonel.
* SendInTheSearchTeam: O'Neill, Daniel and Teal'c are initially called out to the planet to search for Ritter, since Edwards's team apparently lacks the resources to conduct a search on their own.
* TastesLikeFriendship: Daniel [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E8TheFirstOnes once again]] falls back on his tried and tested method for befriending hostile aliens during his first meeting with Iron Shirt.
* TranslatorBuddy: Daniel brings in Chaka for this purpose to help him communicate with the native Unas, since he doesn't understand enough of their language to handle the negotiations on his own.
* VomitDiscretionShot: Lorne quickly loses his lunch after finding what's left of Ritter.
