So, this is the one where Skaa'ra is freed from Klorel, and goes back to Abydos a free man. Also, the one where we meet the Tollan again, who haven't lost their cocky attitude towards thinking they are invincible and cannot be harmed or destroyed by the Goa'uld, and there's Lya of the Nox, looking every so fairy like.
We begin with a brilliant showcasing of superious technology blowing 2 motherships out of the sky, and Skaa'ra/Klorel crashlanding on Tollana. Next thing we know, there's Schroedinger walking through the iris -- and by the gods, was that cat overweight -- followed by Narim who informs them of the Tria(l)d.
They pack it up, and off to Tollana, where Colonel O'Neill is convinced they're going to win this case -- it'll be a walk in the park (an accident waiting to happen), until Lord Zipacna (still a favorite of mine) shows up and well... there goes our walk in the park. Goa'uld, you just can't trust them to keep their end of the bargain when it comes to being the losing side. Although, not even on the winning side they would keep their end, probably.
Pretty need how that longrange communicator is stuck to the underside of the table.
There are two stories playing out, on the one hand we have the triad about who gets to have Skaa'ra's body, and on the other we have the Goa'uld plotting against Tollana. They weave into one another quite nicely, and while I have to say it's certainly not one of my favorite episodes, I still consider it pretty good.
The only grievance perhaps that I have with this episode, is that Skaa'ra is his old self too quickly, like he wasn't host to a Goa'uld the past 3 years of his life. There should at least be more a trauma remaining. I mean, remember Kendra. She seemed to be representing the freedom from her Goa'uld much differently than Skaa'ra here.
Oh well...

It's that time of the week, where I post the 3-episode quiz and the jigsaw puzzles:
The Devil You Know, Foothold & Pretense
Pretense
And yes, the last one of this week's jigsaw puzzles wasn't any bother. It even got worse --> 11:34.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I actually watched this one weeks ago and forgot. I'm going to blame FH because of magnets. This one is actually a favorite of mine mostly because I like the Tollan. Jack annoys me when he calls them arrogant. In their position, we would not share military technology which the ion cannons definitely are. I also admit I've always liked alien trial episodes. I like seeing how the Tollan legal society functions. This episode has it all for me even if the Goa'uld attacking is a little forced. Bye forever Lyla.
It didn't seem fair to do the quizes since I did the mega version. Also my computer is non-functional at the moment. My times would double if I tried the puzzles on my phoneOriginally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right
