The Tok’ra, Part I

During a dream, Sam had a vision of Jolinar that included a gate address, so the team set off to meet the Tok’ra. Just before they left, Sam called her dad. Jacob was facing his last days in a battle with cancer. Sam went on the mission knowing Jacob would not want to be seen in a hospital bed. 

Once again, Sam proved that she is terrible with men. A Tok’ra named Martouf used a couple of cheesy lines, and she turned into a big pile of mush. Lord only knows what would have happened if Daniel didn’t interrupt their handholding session. 

I’m probably the only person who thinks like this, but does anyone else see the resemblance between Martouf and Sam the Eagle from The Muppet Show? In my opinion, that’s a more believable Sam and Martouf relationship than the one involving Captain Carter. 

Jack was considerably less friendly with the Tok’ra than Sam. He seemed extra grumpy and argumentative in this episode. In the end, the Tok’ra fulfilled Jack's fears. They decided not to form an alliance with Earth and held the team as “guests” after Hammond sent SG-3 to inform Sam her father was about to die. 

Never trust anything with a snake in its head. To be continued. 

My Rating: 8/10

Sorry for the double post the other day.

Lol, at the Sam the Eagle reference. Everyone knows the reason Sam fell for Martouf was because of Jolinar's lingering influence.

Jack is always more skeptical of more powerful beings, and so far none of them have proven much help. But it shows how much these guys trust each other that the whole team just agrees to go this planet because of a dream.

Double posts are easy to fix, so don’t worry about it. In fact, I really appreciate it when people add comments. I’m amazed anyone takes the time to read my nonsense, so it’s an extra bonus to get opinions. I’ve also noticed that the comments are a lot more informative than the actual blog. Heh.

So what do you think? I can’t be the only one to see the resemblance between Martouf and Sam the Eagle.
