I LOVE this episode. Seriously. Fortunately, so does my dad, so this is the one I can always stay up late to watch. I didn't see it until I got Season I on DVD--and now it's likely my most-watched (aside from "Hathor").
What's good:
a. The Nox themselves. I love those people. I'm going to go off on a total tangent here (if you don't want to read it, skip to the next paragraph), but I know some people have commented on how the Nox's overconfidence will come back to bite them, shades of the Tollan. There are a couple reasons that I don't think this'll happen (namely, I'd be really mad; therefore, such a travesty shall not occur), but mainly, I think that the Nox are so far advanced that it won't happen. Stemming from this is a minor debate I had with my biology teacher; she said that organisms like mosses and lichens were really primitive, as plants go at least, because they weren't very advanced at all. I said that mosses and lichens were the most advanced, because they didn't need a lot to thrive. The Tollan had super-de-duper cities with lots of glass and chrome. The Nox live incredibly simply, which is why SG-1 thought they were so primitive.
My point being that the Nox don't need a lot of material things to be miles ahead of everyone else; they simply don't need the stuff; they don't want it.
b. Awesome hair. Although hay fever would be murder--you'd never be able to get away from it.
c. Location. I like the Pacific northwest--cool, wet, rainy. End of story.
d. Apophis. Evil. Grrr. I smile!
e. Lya. I was SOO happy they brought her back for "Engima" and "Pretense" (at any rate, I think it was "Pretense").
f. Overall character interaction.
What wasn't good:
a. We can never go back!
FINIS
finally.
