I don't think the torture scenes were very well-done. They were repetitive and predictable. You knew that Teal'c would never accept the Goa'uld as Gods.
That being said, it's nice to reinforce that idea.

Great episode! I hate to see Teal'c being set up, betrayed and tortured, poor him. Interesting interactions between Daniel, Sam, Jacob & Jack: Jack is always fun to have around, of course!
Teal'c, though a fictional character, is a wonderful example to follow when it comes to standing up for what you believe, no matter the cost. This great and awesome Jaffa warrior was willing to give his life for his cause. I think that we all can learn from Teal'c's example in this episode.
Rak'nor's conversion was great to see, and Jacob, Daniel, Sam, and Jack all working together was also good. Another excellent episode about Teal'c.

Terok was a great villain, shame that they killed him off. The Visual Effects were great as well.
Stuff from the commentary:
During every take, when they enter the control room, Amanda (not Carter) squeezed the butt of Siler's Assistant (aka Martin Wood, in his episode cameo)
There was a lot of discussion how much a pain the Visual Effects were in this one.
