Space bugs. Ugh, this could have been awful. Maybourne saved this episode from being a complete disaster, but it was still pretty bad.
SG-1 arrived on a recently deserted planet. The former inhabitants appeared to possess a similar level of technology as Earth, but their absence was unexplainable. Cue the giant space bug. It stung Teal’c and started a process that could create a space bug epidemic.
When the team returned to Earth, Maybourne was granted custody of Teal’c. Teal’c escaped after his transport van was off the base, and he wandered around the city. He managed to make friends with a young girl who liked to play in abandoned buildings. I’m sure most parents would be pleased by the idea of their child hanging out in a secluded, dark room with a strange man who had an obvious disease. What could possibly happen?
Like I said earlier, Maybourne made this episode. He just brings out the best in people. I love the contemptuous dynamic between Jack and him, but Maybourne is capable of getting under anybody’s skin. It’s like he’s a natural born punching bag.
“General Hammond, request permission to beat the crap out of this man.”
My Rating: 4/10

I like how in this episode you can see Teal'c lighten up. I like how at the end he brings the girl a water gun and she squirts him with it. Daniel says something like "Maybe you shouldn't have filled it..." and Teal'c replies "then with what would she defend herself with" and pulls out his own and quirts Daniel.
That is definitely one of my favourite Teal'c moments.
