I agree about the Replicators, but they are also a lot like bugs and they creep me out.
Ba'al did blow the ship up and I am glad they are using him as the villain (at least for a while) because I have a feeling he and Jack have some unresolved business. (as in a return in kind for the butt-kicking torture that Ba'al inflicted on our poor hero.)
And what's up with that Goa'uld defecting? Let's hope they do something with that subplot and don't just leave it on the back burner for eternity like they have with some other potentially cool stories. (I know, I know, so many stories, so little time, but a Goa'uld seeking asylum from the Tau'ri?!)
As for Fifth not showing much emotion, he is just a highly advanced machine. The fact that he feels anything at all is incredible. I think that he played it the way it should have been played. The emotions are new to him and he isn't quite sure how to handle them. I loved Amanda's comment in Lowdown, "He's the prettiest villain..."
As for Jack not shooting the Replicator ship, he thought Sam was on it and I don't think he could force himself to take such direct action against her. He took a chance that Fifth wouldn't go through with his threat, but direct action against someone he cares about deeply would make anyone hesitate.
I thought the exchanges between Sam and Teal's on the cargo ship were great. His one word answers to all those personal questions were so frustrating to her, but the minute he mentioned
her personal life she clammed up, too.
Can you tell that I really liked this episode and I am so happy that SG-1 is back on the air for another season? And, I am willing to give Atlantis a try, so let's hope that it lves up to at least some of our expectations.
