I thought this was a pretty good episode. It was nice to learn more about Teal'c's past.
For me though, the scene with Jack and Hammond was the most interesting because it raised a lot of moral questions. Would it have been right to send in troops, or should they let these people do 'justice'. Is Teal'c a war criminal? And we hear that Jack has also done some terrible things under orders. I know some people will have very strong views on this issue, but i really couldn't decide - both sides of the argument seem to have valid points. Those people have a right to their own justice system- even if we disagree with the outcome, does it mean we should interfere? At first i was completely against sending in troops to an essentially peaceful planet, but then when Hammond agreed with me and i thought Teal'c was going to be executed, i swung round completely to Jack's side of the argument.
What do you think?
