I hit the character limit on that last writeup. Imma have to tone down the quoting it seems...was gonna throw this in at the end:
I liked this episode more than I thought I would. Sure, nothing especially momentous happened, but it was a good character piece for Daniel and Teal'c. Both find people they care about wrapped up in this goa'uld mess and it shows.
Continuing onward...
Episode 13: Fire and Water
I should keep a Daniel death counter. How many times is it now?
This shock feels a bit unnatural. This isn't the first time people have been killed on the show, though I suppose being a main character some reaction would be warranted...
Doctor lady agrees with me.
Also Daniel is alive....and forced to translate something for some crazy alien. I like how they make a dramatic to do about the alien telling Daniel that he will cooperate OR DIE. Just...lulz considering the first part of this episode.
Apparently there was some Babylon influence that may or may not have ties with the uprising that tossed the goa'uld from earth.
Anyway, the super alien science is defeated by earth hypnosis and we get exposition on what happened before Daniel didn't die.
They go back and everything works out without conflict. It is nice to see that every now and then.
An ok episode, but nothing too special.
