This episode has all the elements of a good SG1 episode--a Gou'ld hunt, Daniel and his archeology, Sam and her powers from Jolinar, Jack and his wry sense of humor, Teal'c's view on fathers and sons, and a nice touch of Tok'ra.
It was great seeing Sam using the ribbon device; Seth got what was coming to him. But why was Sam in the compound at all? Teal'c didn't go in since Seth would detect his Gou'ld, so why would they think Sam's mark from Joliner would be undetected?
The theme of family is one I really enjoy. In this episode, it's about biological families, and in others it's about the team as family.
I don't know why I could never really get into this episode. There are other episodes that I rewatch, but not this one.
I loved the Jaffa joke I always laugh when I see that cause it's so unatural to see Teal'c laugh. Also Sams reaction to killing Seth was spot on I think this was the first time she killed someone face to face like that.
i always attributed sam's reaction to: holy crap, i just smashed a dude into the ground with my mind. that and, at least in the interpretation, realizing that she THOUGHT him dead and, as some fanfic writers have speculated, might have gotten a bit of a rush off of it...which heartily conflicted with her moralilty about killing someone face to face and how 'wrong' it was for her to have that power
As I hate people who are raving lunatics and obsessed about religion I did not enjoy this episode any bit.
But I cannot ignore the fact that Stargate series fantastically incorporate any real life events and myths into their stories, like some religious sects being goa'uld run, or grey men of Roswell being asgard and such, or historic myths being goa'uld driven
I know this is kind of late, and it might be an obvious answer, but I just finied watching this episode and in the end, who did they go see? A guy with a little girl? Who was it?
Thanks,

'Seth' is a pretty cool episode, though the moments inside the 'cult' are kind of 'meh'.
Best moments:
-Jaffa jokes! Teal'cs laugh is great, and so are the looks everyone else gives him.
-The tail end where Jacob goes to see his son, and gets to hold his adorable little granddaughter. Awww!
Jack has the best lines!
"As in, Snippety-Do-Dah?"
"So help me, if I wake up and I'm singing soprano..."
"Hail, Dorothy."
"Y'know; Lose it. It means, go crazy. Nuts. Insane. Bonzo. No Longer in posession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal. WHACKO!!!!!"
