The Tok’ra, Part II

Part two started with a speech from the Tok’ra. One of the reasons they didn’t want to form an alliance with Earth was because nobody on the team volunteered to become Salmak’s host. This gave Sam an idea that might save her father’s life. 

Sam and Jack returned to Earth to pick up Jacob and explain the situation to him. I though it was cute how Jacob said, “Holy Hannah” when he learned about the stargate. It showed how Sam picked up her dorky habits while growing up. 

An evacuation of the Tok’ra planet was already underway when Sam, Jack, and Jacob arrived. A spy had informed the Goa’uld of their location, and a fleet of ships was on the way. Jacob went through a brief interview and ended up with a snake in his head. However, he could not be moved until his body was healed, and the Goa’uld were getting very close. 

He woke up just in time to escape with Sam and Martouf. Once they were back on Earth, Daniel gave the Tok’ra a fancy lunchbox. Was this the start of a new friendship? 

My Rating: 7/10

Cold Lazarus

While this episode was a little slow in parts, it was great for character development. We also get a glimpse of what the team does when they aren’t off fighting the Goa’uld.

I love how dorky Sam and Daniel were in this episode. I imagine this is how they act every time they bring an alien artifact through the gate. They were so excited to prove their theory, they had to run across the SGC to find Teal’c. Just like kids in a toy store.

Teal’c is adapting to life on Earth. It appears that he is more of an ESPN guy than an MTV viewer. I wonder what kind of music they have on Chulak.

Of course, most of this episode focused on Jack’s past. Charlie’s death was truly tragic, and you can see how it pulled Sarah and Jack apart. They both seemed to receive a sense of closure at the end, but I’m not sure any marriage could survive that incident.

Bonus point for Sam’s “Holy Hannah.”
