The filming of Teal'c and Bra'tac fighting in the snow was completely and totally amazing. It was cool to see Teal'c with the regular black Apophis sect tattoo, he really did look younger in those sequences. Up until this point we never knew what happened leading up to the point where Teal'c helps SG-1 escape in TCOTG. It turns out that Bra'tac was there behind the scenes watching them when they were capture along with Teal'c. Seeing Va'lar and the way Teal'c fooled the one who would call himself Teal'c's god was fascinating. I wonder how many years it was before SG-1 came to Chulak that Teal'c found out that Apophis was a false god. For that matter I wonder for how long Bra'tac knew that the Goa'uld were false god's.sigpic

This episode is very close to my heart. It is my very favorite episode in the series. Teal'c had to relive so much pain to b released from Apophis's hold on him, but the Right worked, and he returned to the side of freedom. I never get tired of watching this episode. The way the rest of SG-1 kept talking to him, and encouraging Teal'c to remember what he believed in and stood for was no less than awesome. I found it very touching to see Teal'c's sadness at having to kill Va'lar. They seemed to be very close, and talked with each other a great deal.
It was great to see Drey'auc again as well."I choose freedom." Teal'c Threshold

Great episode. From a story point of view it was nice to see more backstory of Teal'c. The pilot gave us some indication that he wasn't happy serving under the Goa'uld by his expressions and actions, and then in eps with Bra'tak, but this lets us see it in a different light (so to speak)
Technically -
I loved the change in scene colour to show the difference between his memories and reality. For me, more than show the difference it also gave a cold feeling to all the Goa'uld scenes in this ep, which matches my thoughts on the Goa'uld disposition.
Also it showed us the physical humanity of Teal'c which we don't get to see so often. It reminds us that Teal'c is human. This was shown best by the scene when he had to be brought back to life by human medical science before Junior could help again.
I like how it showed Teal'c strength by the fact that had to strap him down, but at the same time it showed how much he needed the symbiote and how it could affect his mind (explained by Bra'tak) by making him weak once it was removed.
There were moral conflicts, but still the show kept it's sense of humour, taking the edge off.
The general vibe we get fromt he Jaffa is a serve my master kind of thing, but through Teal'c we get to see that they are tortured in a similar way that a host is.
I think Christopher Judge did a good job on this ep and loved the training with Bra'tak.
I'll leave this at that
Facebook post about Alexis Cruz and the Audiobook he's done. If you're a fan of Alexis and his work - you'll love it. Book 1 and 2 are there now. The second one is brilliant, but I can't vouch for the first one (not having heard it), but I'm sure it's just as good, if not better.

I love this episode for all the reasons mentioned above. What an awesome character study of both Teal'c and Bra'tac. Teal'c is such a powerful character that even though he seems to almost be the least focused on of the team, he is still a HUGE presence no matter what he does or what he says. But it was nice to get in his head, as it were, and really see more clearly what makes him tick. Love Bra'tac. That man can do no wrong! Really, upon 2nd watching....this episode has made it into my all time absolute favorites list!!!
