    No matter what they left out (and they had to leave out something, unless they wanted the show to run 24/7), someone would be disappointed. Them's the breaks.

      Return of the Tollan!

      Thoughts:
      -SKAARA! So nice to see him out of the clutches of Klorel!
      -Lya's back! *more cheering*
      -Jack trying to sound smart is a total riot. He'd make a horrible lawyer.
      -Zipacna (sp?) is nasty. He's so slimy and sleazy...just like the snake in his head.

      Good episode, but kind of slow in parts. The ending had a nice twist. WTG Lya!

        That actor who played Zipanaca seemed like many lawyers we see advertising their wares on TV.. SLIMY as heck.. Though he also seemed familiar, from elsewhere..Just can't picture where yet.

          ...seen him in a few things recently....Real Steel for one...


          Facebook post about Alexis Cruz and the Audiobook he's done. If you're a fan of Alexis and his work - you'll love it. Book 1 and 2 are there now. The second one is brilliant, but I can't vouch for the first one (not having heard it), but I'm sure it's just as good, if not better.

            Love the Nox. Love the Tollan. Love Love Love Zippy. Totally.
            Teal'c rocked. Skara, love him. Even though he sounds like a dalek (his name)

            that's it. Such a shame that we didn't ever get any more nox.

            ETA: and how great are the Goa'uld stamping around just like Vogons? I keep expecting them to break out the poetry.

              The Nox still give me happy, fuzzy feelings. They're so cute.

              The Tollans should be smacked upside the head, but I guess Zippie took care of that by taking out all their cannons, except for the one Teal'c hid away. Okay, the Tollan have a point about sharing their technology but come on... a little less arrogance goes a long way.

              They built heir own stargate -- way smarter indeed. But arrogant nonetheless.

              I'd forgotten what this episode was about so I didn't this was the one where Ska'ra comes back. I really liked that.

              Lord Zipacna -- he's just one of those funky-looking goa'uld. Zippie.

                SG1 doesn't give tech lesser worlds why should the Tollans. Loved seeing the nox also.

                  True, we have not been shown to give some goodies to lesser planets, but some we have.. specially medicine.

                    We're always offering supplies but never technology.

                      Which is why i never understood our hate of the tolans either.. they were just doing what we were.

                        Zipacna from Pretense reminds me of the guy who helped choose Skaara in COTG, it wasn't the same actor, but I've always wondered if they were meant to be the same character...

                          Perhaps.. they did both seem to have similar head gear.

                            I found it odd that no time was given in the story to Jackson telling Skaara that his sister is dead, and, overall, that Jackson has got over the loss so quickly - having already had a fling by this stage too.

                            SG-1 has dived headfirst into fridge the wife territory - despite the fact that Teal'C's family would be safer on Earth, they shuffle them off to parts unknown and kill off Sha'urai. Both of these because it is easier to write them as "bachelors" perhaps?

                              The guy who played Zipacna was also Martin Keamy, one of the bad guy mercenaries Charles Widmore hired on Lost. Another creepy role.

                              I am rewatching SG1 now, and just saw this episode again. I know that Skaara idolizes O'Neill and has basically from the beginning....but he basically ignores his brother-in-law? Doesn't react to his sister's death? I know others have mentioned this, but am still wondering about that.

                              I liked that they brought back Schrodinger.... Wonder who the cat belongs to in RL? And arrogant allies, but I liked the relationship between the Triad overlord and "Zippy"....

                              One other thing--how did Skaara manage to withstand Korel for so long? Is it something in the Abydonian DNA, since Sha're also seemed to have the same ability in "Forever in a Day"? Thought that this was kind of weird.

                                Yes, there seemed to be more continuity with the cat than the characters.
