In the opening scene, Sam was promoted to the rank of major. Jack started to give a brief congratulatory speech, but he was beamed to Thor’s ship, which was orbiting Earth, before he could finish. Thor informed Jack that the Goa’uld System Lords would launch an attack unless an agreement could be reached to allow Earth into the Protected Planets Treaty.
When the negotiations started, we met three new snakeheads. Cronus, who was the most influential of the System Lords, killed Teal’c’s father years ago and ordered the assassination of Jolinar. Nirrti was responsible for the genocide on Cassandra’s planet and kind of looked like a drag queen. The SGC never crossed paths with Yu before, but he was the object of several bad puns. “Thank Yu.”
I think what I liked most about this episode was how it added extra layers to Goa’uld society. We also learned more about the Asgard and how the politics of the galaxy worked. Basically, the Goa’uld could wipe us out if they ever called the Asgard’s bluff.
Earth was eventually allowed to join the treaty after Nirrti was caught in a plot to kill Cronus. Those silly Goa’uld are always trying to stab each other in the back. When will they ever learn?
My Rating: 9/10
