Episode discussed: In the Line of Duty

Sam gets Goa’ulded! That’s bad! That’s it, that’s what this episode is about. Oh no! Can we possibly save her? Remembering what happened to Kawalsky a year ago? Or could there possibly be more than meets the eye in this situation, perhaps an unforeseen nuance in the Goa’uld condition that gives us a margin for solving this problem without killing off one of the show’s leads on the second episode of the second season? Who’s to say!

Meanwhile, we get a short but memorable appearance by an unnamed Goa’uld assassin who correctly predicted the Hitman games, two years before the first one came out. It’s all a lot of fun. We also get to hear first mention of the Tok’ra, a faction of good Goa’uld that will be, let’s say, present in like at least 25% of all the rest of the episodes on this series, so it’s just like, nice to not have to talk around them anymore. Tok’ra Tok’ra Tok’ra.
