Teal'c and Bra'tac's Victory

[Jack_Bauer]

Recently I've been watching some good ol' SG-1 episodes, in particular Reckoning Parts 1 and 2, as well as Threads.

I got thinking, would Teal'c and Bra'tac's accomplishment over the Goa'uld (yes I know technically the Replicators defeated them) would have had a bigger impact if either one of the two had to sacrifice themselves in order to secure the downfall of the Goa'uld in these episodes.

Would it perhaps have given either Teal'c or Bra'tac's story a definite end? (Something which is rare in this franchise)

in the universe itself their deaths would be just another fallen soldier and to us it would have been more of a loss of a beloved friend than an impact

when i was first watching sg-1 i thought that bra'tac was going to die sometime in the series, but thinking back they had to have him live (which i'm glad they did ), because if he died teal'c would have left sg-1 to lead the movement.
