I was really surprised by how much I liked this ep. This is the one that finally made his initial conversion to the Tau'ri believable to me.
Usually I don't find the stories that take place on Chulak all that interesting, but finally getting some background info and fleshing out of his character before he met SG-1 is something I can get into. Perhaps it just makes his character more believable in general since we're able to see him while he is still brainwashed by Apophis; he wasn't always as sympathetic as he was when Jack asked him to join them, and I thought it was just too convenient of him to turn on his fellow Jaffa and leave his home when some guy from Earth asked him to.
Quite frankly, when Teal'c first told Jack that he was the first person he believed could save those people, as opposed to the many others who had said the same thing, I was wondering... "Why him?"
Sorry, Jack. ;p
