I guess I don't think about the episodes as deeply as you all do! I like these episodes, and I'm a fan of Season 8. I liked seeing a Russian officer that was sympathetic, and I liked the teamy goodness of this particular episode. All of the ship in 8, though, seemed terribly angsty to me, because I always had it in my mind that Sam was still going out with Pete. Grrrrrr.
I don't see these two as redundant, either. I think that they capture two different aims--to introduce the Anubis thing, and then to capture Jack's issues with taking over the SGC. I'll have to go rewatch them again, but I really don't feel that they could have been combined without making it seem to fast.
I'll have more to say later, if you all haven't already moved on, but I have a bajillion things to do today. Bleah.
