Is Baal becoming a joke?

[TPL2005]

Baal started out as a really good character, especially in Abyss (S6), but now in S9 i feel the character's turned into a joke. Anyone agree?

na, I think he is more serious then ever. I never payed attention to him before this season, but now I see him as much more of a threat. Plus theres no way of knowing wether he is ACTUALLY dead... spooky...

i think the part of baal that's a joke is the clones.....and said clones' fates

Spoiler:

i mean we're on death #3 for cryin out loud, with at least 5 more to go. it's ridiculous to kill baal off every week.

It's not EVERY week. Plus, if they find entertaining enough ways to do it... He killed Oniell like a gazillion times, we needs a bit of revenge!!!

It has only happaned 3x. He is'nt in anymore episodes this season, either.

I agree. Ba'al himself is still the coolest Goa'uld they have. But, those clones are silly.

All we need are some badly drawn cartoons and we can do "OMG You killed Baal, you Baalstard"
Week after week after week.
Personally i think the deaths two weeks in a row is a little much, but he is far more serious than ever, and he seems far better than in Abyss or any other ep IMO

We're not at the point where its ridiuclous yet, but it could get there.

[creed462]

No he's getting payback, Then again this could be his plan

Everything is getting to be cheap looking in S9...even those Ori Orbs...that plastic / fiberglass look..

Yeah, but there were two additional Baal's on the ship as well. So death number 3, accompanied by the two clones on his ship being killed as well. What I wonder is how was Baal able to clone himself and gain control over the other Baal's without their being competition amongst the Baals.

I don't want this to turn into Season 9 bashing thread, but i do agree that everything suddenly feels very cheap, including the characters and stories.

[ussrelativity]

I like Ba'al in general. I still haven't seen any of Season 9 yet, but I still think it pushes the bar higher.

I wonder what has happened to the original Baal. Is he among the dead? Do the Baals even know who the original Baal is?

I think that the Baals must all agree that having multiple copies of themselves is a good thing. The original Baal must have thought so, making it likely that they'd all agree. They probably all think alike, so there wouldn't be any dispute over who makes the decisions. From what we've seen, the clones seem to behave quite well together.

Yes, he was good until the clones. Now he is just cheese. Cool looking cheese and not at all smelly one would assume, but cheese nontheless.
