Yes, this was good episode. We got to see the team playing with their fancy, new spaceship, and the battles were pretty. However, some parts of this show drove me crazy.
The first thing that bugged me was how Tanith escaped. How can the Tok’ra be that dumb? He did a ridiculous, seizure-esque freak out, and they believed it. Then, with two guards watching (one pointing a zatgun at him), he grabbed the person who went in to check on him. The scene cuts, and we are forced to imagine that he beat up the other guards, eluded the rest of the Tok’ra on the base, and used the ring transporters to reach the surface. No way am I buying that.
The other thing that made me grumble was how Tanith was able to communicate directly with Apophis. If he could do that, why didn’t he just tell Apophis where the Tok’ra were hiding a while ago? Was he just waiting for a special occasion?
Don’t even get me started about Teal’c.
Okay, now that I got that out of the way. The cliffhanger was great. Sam and Jacob did a little father/daughter bonding exercise by blowing up a star together. The team was sent 200 million light years away, and Apophis ended up right behind them. Oh, and Teal’c was captured along the way and was aboard Apophis’s ship. The credits started rolling with the team stranded in space and facing an overpowering ship.
To Be Continued

It has its flaws, but still this has to be one of the best season enders of the series. Some people seem to get annoyed when Jack is used mainly for comic relief, but I thought this aspect of the character was put to good use here, especially in his scenes with Jacob ("This is sooo the last time we're gonna help someone move.", "How do the Tok'ra know where the rings are when all of the land looks the same?").
And as if blowing up a whole sun wasn't enough, you forgot to mention that Sam & Jacob took out a whole lot of enemy ships in the process.
Heh. I meant to mention how Jack reminded me of Chandler Bing in this episode. "Mayday, Mayday, we are sooo going in."
