I would have LOVED seeing him as a Tokra. Being an unwilling host and all that. Wonder how RDA would have handled acting the two different parts. God I would have loved to see that.
It's possible that the writers either didn't think to create an episode like that, or couldn't come up with a viable story. In either case, I too would have enjoyed that kind of episode.

I think that the actual circumstances were that RDA cut back on his work time to spend time with Wylie, so they needed a reason to cut back his screen time. Abyss was an ep that was very RDA centric, but didn't require any of the rest of SG-1, so they could film Nightwalkers and Abyss simultaneously and RDA had a whole ep that he didn't have to be in.
But that would have been a great story!
I don't know how to make a fancy signature... so, I'll pull a McKay and think... I've got an idea! My signature: + = true love.... elegant in it's simplicity, yes?
Oh, I know that RDA cut back his time but that was a story I would have loved to see!
Oh, definitely! That would have been a great episode!

You're saying that he cut back his time way back in season 6? It was my understanding that didn't happen until season 8.

No, actually, he started the cut back in season six, then took a bit more time off in season seven, and then really cut back in season 8. They explain it in the audio commentary for... Frozen, I think? Or, maybe they mention it in passing during "Enemy Mine" or "Fragile Balance" (both season seven). I do remember them mentioning that season five was RDA's last season full time.

Baal is just the best in this episode. Soooo cool and calm about torturing jack. The relationship between jack and daniel is also really good. The ways in which their views differ.
"I ask you, what could possibly be in my eye that would explain this"
I guess Daniel must had something to do with the rescue plan that Teal'c and Carter were came up with. Even he was ascended and could not interfere directly with what's happening he still came to comfort Jack and let him knew he was not alone. Great acting of RDA and MS!
