I quite liked "Orpheus", with its look at Jaffa culture, and Daniel getting to use his brains and his bravery to save the day, not just deciphering old Goa'uld tablets or pulling out his gun and shooting everything. But then, I like the Jaffa and their struggle, and their recurring characters (Bra'tac, Rya'c and Rak'nor) are much more interesting then, say, the Tok'ra (not counting Jacob!). The epic struggle, Teal'c loosing his "mojo" and then getting it back in style... oh, and one other little thing I liked...
Daniel: "We need a distraction."
Carter: "Grenades?"
O'Neill: "Think bigger."
Carter: "Claymores?"
O'Neill: "Much bigger."
O'Neill looks up at the mothership in the dry-dock...
I can kind of see why you didn't like it... but you'll never convince me of that!

The whole Bra'tac/Teal'c stuff bores me. I'm not really interested in the Jaffa and Chulak.
I liked the Daniel/Teal'c bonding. The meditation scenes were nice. Love all the candles. Is this the first of Daniel's "ascension flashbacks/memories"? Don't spoil me, I haven't seen anymore of season 7 yet.
"Not peppy enough?" LOL! That was my favorite quote.
Anytime they want to show Daniel working out more is fine with me.

This was among the best of Season Seven... and ranks up there as a classic SG-1 episode. DeLuise did a great job of involving all of the characters in the story, and writing around O'Neill's limited involvement.
Also, it was great to see Teal'c dealing with his symbiote-free situation, and Daniel struggling with his decision to give up the ascended way of life to take an active participation again.
Very well done... one of my favs.

when i first watched this episode i thought it was a bit meh, but i watched it again just now with the entire series arc and team relationship in my mind and i love the episode now
this is a brilliant team episode. I felt that in season 5 and 6, the show started becoming less about a team, Orpheus really really brought back that feeling of nostalgia for me. it reminded me of what i loved about S1-3 in that theres this team of people banding together physically out in the field, but also mentally and emotionally
I think that later on in S8 and 9 the writers kinda feel a team episode is just about good teamwork out in the field. not true. good teamwork is what Orpheus was about because it had those emotional team moments as well like near the beginning with tealc losing his confidence, the team reassuring him, the very end scene with daniel and tealc
this episode had good action yeah, but it was the emotional exchanges that made this such a great episode for me because it brings back memories of them being a real cohesive team unit on and off the battlefield- Simon
