gateslackerOkay, stupid, stupid plot (and did I mention stupid?) but I am sure I will watch again for all of the character squeeing I did. I am such a fangril. It has been reinforced to me that you can never truly have enough Ba'als! ;-) So cunning, so sinister and at least one of the Ba'als had this strange used car salesman vibe going on. Maybe it was that gray suit that did that to me. All of the interrogation scenes were so much fun, especially Mitchell's. And Vala's scene with Ba'al certainly made me sit up a but straighter. As some others on my f-list have said, I would certainly like to have the Ba'al/Quetesh back story but why was Ba'al talking about Quetesh's alliance with the Tauri? The Goauld is gone....Or is she? (insert ponderous thoughts!) Despite that wildly delicious speculation on my part, I am sure Ba'al just doesn't know Quetesh is no more.
Landry was my hero throughout this episode and I have to mention once again how much I like his character.
Barrett was very weird. That banging on the table scene was so over the top I had to engage in some active eye rolling. I usually really like his character and really didn't in this ep. Am I to assume this was the mind control? But he did have a great line, "So, I hear you have a few extra Ba'als"
Teal'c and Vala arm wrestling. I was in stitches! As much as I LOVE the Daniel/Vala dynamic, I rather enjoyed the Sam/Vala dynamic, the Teal'c/Vala dynamic, the Landry/Vala dynamic..Humm, I sense a pattern here. Strangely, the Mitchell/Vala dynamic is less appealing and isn't that the strangest thing!?! Perhaps it is a conscious effort on the part of all concerned to keep John and Aeryn out of it. It was nice to see Vala interacting out of the Daniel context and I think the viewer needed to see that. I also am really enjoying the friendship vibe we are getting from Mitchell and Sam. They truly interact as equals and I love the Sam I see there. And seeing that Sam makes me feel all warm and fuzzy towards Mitchell because he really portrays a certain charming, gentlemanly deference and respect to her. I loved it that Mitchell freely admits to Landry that he has no control over the team.
