(((Caty))) Abyss isn't everyones cup of tea.
Personally, I really liked this ep ... maybe not the torture scenes per se, and I was soooo hating Ba'al cos of this ep that it took me until Reckoning to realise that Cliff's actually very very sexy .... oops, digressing a bit there!
I liked it because I found it intrinsically shippy. The whole reason this ep takes place is because Kanan is affected by his blending with Jack, and Jack's no one gets left behind belief. We're lead to believe that Kanan is in love with the Lotar, and that combined with Jack's moral code sends him back to Ba'al's planet for her. (Although Kanan showed slimy snakehead qualities by hijacking Jack's body and then leaving him to save his own mik'ta though - that Tok'ra wasn't overly different to the goa'uld was he?)
Jack's insistence in not ascending and finding another way out imho is another manifestation of his faith in SG-1 finding him and figuring out what's going on, kinda a precursor to Paradise Lost. But I think it also shows a vulnerability to Jack - I don't think he thinks he can do it. He doesn't think he's got the necessary goodness (for want of a better word) that Daniel has that drew Oma to help him.
I like the infirmary scene at the end with Sam & Jack - a private little moment for Sam to reassure herself that Jack's home and going to be ok, and for Jack to appreciate Sam and how much she means to him.
