Deadman Switch

This episode didn’t do much for me. The bounty hunter, Aris Boch, was too clichéd. Let’s go down the list: 1) The people he served were responsible for destroying his race. 2) He was immune to certain weapons. 3) He was addicted to a drug. 4) He had a custom built gun. 5) He was the best because he was alive. 6) His plans were overly complex. Am I missing anything? 

This episode had some redeeming qualities. I thought it was funny how Daniel seemed offended when Boch claimed his bounty was only worth half a day’s rations. It was also nice to see the team totally outwitted. And Teal’c was perfectly in character when he offered to be taken to Sokar. 

The biggest problem with this episode was that Boch turned around too quickly at the end. Eh, this was very forgettable. 

My Rating: 3/10
