Make Baal the Al Pacino of Stargate!
(Added note: after some research on the matter, I've noticed that his name can actually be spelled either as Baal or Ba'al. I'm sure there are plenty of obsessive fans out there who say it can only be one way, ahahaha, but well... whatever floats your boat.) 
I must say, as was mentioned in an interview with CS, the concept of playing his character's role out as a Stargate-universe version of the "Al Pacino bad guy" kind of approach... that would totally rock.
We've had a nice variety of baddies on the SG-1 and Atlantis series but I honestly believe Cliff Simon's rendition of his character is one of the most unique by far! It seems like the Stargate creators just keep on creating better baddies as the show goes on.
But think of it, as an Al Pacino -type baddy... you just love to hate Baal but at the same time you love him as a baddy and actually root for him!!! You want to go, "woohoo!", and cheer him on when he does those evil evil things. Like what they said in that interview, he's actually one of those bad guys whom you actually want to win some major battles or seriously kick some good guys butts.
The evil smile of his. It's almost sadistic! Good stuff.
As the actor mentioned, we've yet to see Baal's full potential... and when we do it will likely leave us awestruck.
One thing I really hope for is that they make Baal go totally ape$*#^ (insane) when he unleashes hell to his opponents.
Soooo, listen up Stargate creators, if you're reading this:
Let's have an "Al Pacino" -type of Baal in full force!
