About his character, he is a believer and he will not chance his mind in the short future. What interesting me how Adria will deal with him.

most of the baddies and other aliens in SG-1 derive names from ancient myths/folklore of earth:
Ra, Anubis, Athena, Ba'al, Yu, Thor, Hermiod, Kvasir, Janus, Merlin, Morgan, etc...
is there any real world origin of the name Tomin as there is with the Goa'uld, Asgard and Ancients?
or is his name merely an invention of the writers' mind as is Teal'C, Bratak, and Samantha "my reproductive organs are inside me" Carter?Colonel Jack O'Neill: So what's your impression of Alar?
Teal'c: That he is concealing something.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Like what?
Teal'c: I am unsure. He is concealing it.

i suspected the same after doing my own search...
i was slightly hoping that it would be an obscure reference... oh well...
although the name is similar to Tobin, as in the Tobin Spirit Guide from Ghostbusters
and, more seriously, its a little similar to Tobit, as in the Book of Tobit from the Catholic Bible which introduces the angel Raphael as a guide to Tobit's son Tobias... but hey, i'm reaching here...Colonel Jack O'Neill: So what's your impression of Alar?
Teal'c: That he is concealing something.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Like what?
Teal'c: I am unsure. He is concealing it.

and your probs right, probs just a made up name...
and technically, even if it WAS from star trek, they could never publicly state such as it would be a plaigirism issue... unless they have the rights to the name... so given this i doubt its a ST name...Colonel Jack O'Neill: So what's your impression of Alar?

He has the most gorgeous eyes... Tomin was the perfect compliment to Vala"Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand!" Mark Twain (1835-1910)"But you see, just because we've been dealt a certain hand doesn't mean we can't choose to rise above it. To conquer the boundaries of a destiny none of us wanted. To try and retain whatever essential humanity we can." ~Edward from TwilightHistoric Connections Ancient history resources business my Dad runs...go check it out

I absolutely LOVE Tim Guinee. I think he's awesome. (: He's not exactly my favourite, but...y'know. He's still awesome.
Tomin was a really sweet guy, but I got so mad at him in that episode where heSpoiler:slapped Vala for not believing. I got really mad. >< But he made up for it when he got her off the ship. (:
He IS a good man on the inside, and he and Vala were cute, but Vala/Daniel is sooooo much better. Lmao.
