Fun episode, an improvement over Avalon pt 1 which I also liked. Some thoughts...
...I thought that the Dr. was Landry's ex-wife, but now I see it as his daughter makes more sense.
Seeing Vala burn up was also just like the 'limited gene pool' bit, where the disdain some have for Vala was personified...she burned. Very graphic and unsettling, but powerful...and fortunate that she was revived.
Like the new team, the 'Daniel and Vala at Renaissance Fair' is a good way of putting it, for some reason I was reminded of the village from ST:TNG's premiere ep, "Encounter at Farpoint."
As for the Ori, I think it'll be a huge challenge to make them seem as real a threat compared to the past villains, and yet not soo powerful they make the past seem to pale in comparison. Also yet another major villain that lasts for seasons and seasons might not be the best way to go...or is it? And is Ori short for Origin?
Also, why didn't Daniel and Vala grab those 2 stones in the book? I thought it was kinda Myst-like, where you teleport between worlds...
...also like to know what the Arthurian legend connection is. Swordfight cool, et al cool, but Daniel and Vala overshadow it all, and Mitchell and Landry have little to do so far. Soon to see more...
