At time of this episode, Teal'c is a good and 150 years old, nearer 160, I beleive. (101/2 towards the end of season 4(The Light); add 6 years then another 50 in Unending) and yet he's still up for a cockfight with Ronon for three hours? Up to the point of that fist fight, when Carter tells them to stop?
I can understand angry warrior man Ronon going for that but Teal'c is supposed to know better by now. (In fact did we ever see him as belligerent as Ronon? He was unreasoning aggressive when doing the Jaffa Revenge thing but nowhere else that I recall)
Up until that scene Teal'c's an ocean of calm. The mess scene is the epitome of awesome classic stoic Teal'c.
We get it, Ronon's a hard man. Did you really have to go this far to show it?
I would have loved to see that Teal'c had matured beyond this. Instead of them fighting for hours. I'd have like to see Teal'c fall into more of a Bra'tac like roll. Echoing his training scenes in Threshold and The Warrior.
In regards to the Warrior:
Bra'tac: "You over commit! May I? *takes staff* the weapon is balanced. But the warrior is not. Strive to find balance in battle... and you will survive to find balace in life."
Is it just me or would this speech apply perfectly to Ronon?
