Overall an excellent episode, slightly predicable in some places, little rushed and obvious at the end but not bad at all.
What I liked
The character interactions were very well played. I really enjoyed the bond of friendship between Cam and Sam. Not shippy at all to my mind but very good performances from both - hats off to both AT and BB.
Good Sam whumpage too and it was definately good to see something more serious and threatening than just the odd bump and scratch and to see Sam face up to her mortality.
The interaction between Sam and Vala at the beginning was good to see.
Sams password to the personal letters folder on her laptop being "fishing" - cracked me up but then I admit I have a SJ affinity. Nice little touch and nod to the background of the character. Just a teaser that leaves it open to intrepretation as you want.
Great to see more background / story on the religion of the Ori, the stories and the interpretations.
Enjoyed the Tomin / Vala moments. Powerfully played and showed a believable passage for Tomin through blind faith to questioning the Prior and to some extent his faith.
Not so hot things
That damn villlage again! Enough already
Too easy for Tomin to get Vala off the ship and if Tomin believes he will be killed for helping her and still loves her, doesnt make sense that he would stay behind.
Bit rushed and obvious at the end for me.
Overall 8/10
