This episode starts on an alien world with SG1 searching for a UAV. They get caught into a shield trap, with Danny-whumping of course!! He literally walks straight into it, hurting his cute little nose!! They meet a rather interesting character “one of the galaxy’s greatest hunters” also known as Aris Boch. SG1 discover they’re famous!
After some amusing repetoire, mainly from Jack and an attempt at diplomacy from Daniel “I don’t suppose we could talk about this” awww even when he knows it’s hopeless he has to try, Boch tells SG1 he’s going to trade for them with the Goa’uld. Daniel wonders what it is that SG1 is worth, so that maybe they can offer something for their freedom. Aris replies that Teal’c is worth the most obviously, Sam next because of Jolinar and Jack is just a pain in a part of the anatomy that isn’t neck! So again repeats his question, what would he be worth? Aris “I’d be happy to get a day’s rations for you!” EVIL! How could he say that about our precious Danny. Daniel seemed a little dismayed too or was that shock?
Boch decides that if they help him capture the Goa’uld he’s after (he wants to hand him over to Sokar), he’ll let them go. I did like his attempt at convincing SG1 to help “What’s the big deal? I hate the Goa’uld, you hate the Goa’uld, everyone hates the Goa’uld!” To me that seemed to be an interesting variation on ‘I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.’ LOL Anyway Jack agrees.
Jack and Daniel go with Boch whilst Sam and Teal’c stay in his cloaked ship (we later find out that it’s Sokar ship....not that that matters or anything!) Boch gives Jack a Zat gun saying that he’s trusting him with it. Jack shoots him with it, but only once! Daniel takes his weapon!! Danny takes the weapon!! DANIEL takes the weapon. Okay I’m over it now! They go back to the ship and Daniel presses a few buttons on key pad, hoping to let Sam and Teal’c out of the room. Unfortunately (ohh and because it was danny-babe) things go a little wrong and he manages set off the auto-destruct. Teal’c tells them to disarm it they need three crystals one of which is missing so Daniel takes Boch’s weapon (!!!!!) and is about to go get the crystal when Boch shows up and saves him the trouble! He takes the weapon off poor Danny quite easily, and I have to wonder if he could have managed that with the same amount of effortlessness if it was Jack, Sam or Teal’c. Probably not, huh?
Daniel is still try to be the diplomat, and asks if the deal is still on the table, i guess he was also A LITTLE concerned about them being traded to Sokar. Jack just says that Boch’s plan was stupid, well actually he said it was “bad!” Boch agrees to let SG1 do it their way minus Sam. We learn about new Goa’uld toys like the Tacks, which can fire at a heat producing object (ie people) from various different directions. Teal’c and Jack manage to destroy them and they smoke out the Goa’uld who turns out to be a Tok’ra called Korra. They all then go back to find Sam and walk into another trap, well okay they kinda new it was, but I don’t think they expected Boch to show up in the ship!
Korra manages to impress Boch my trying to attempt suicide in order to protect the identity of the other Tok’ra spies in Sokar’s midst. Boch didn’t realise that the Tok’ra and the Goa’uld are different (they are??!). So he agrees to switch Korra for Teal’c, well actually Teal’c volunters in order to save Korra’s life, isn’t he almost as sweet as our Daniel??
But before Boch can hand over Teal’c his ship suffers an ‘unfortunate accident’ in which it blows up but Teal’c and Boch manage to leave in escape pods. Boch then lets SG1 plus Korra leave but not before a rather cute scene:
Aris: “Dr. Jackson, I was lying before the price on your head is much more than a day’s rations. Actually the Goa’uld want to see you dead just as much as anyone for figuring out the Stargate system.”
Daniel: “Thank you, that doesn’t make me feel any better!”
Geez, some people are just never happy!!
Great moments:
Daniel: “I’m an archeologist.”
Aris: Yes I know but you’re also a doctor!”
Daniel: Of archeology.”
Daniel: Jack he disabled the DHD and Sam said we can’t fly this ship all the way home.
Jack: So we’ll fly it to a closer planet with a Stargate.
Daniel: Good thinking (with a distinct fall in his voice!!)
Jack: It happens.
Jack: How do we open the door?
Daniel: It opened when he said that word.
Jack: Voice activated. What was the word?
Daniel: Ahhh, bark something.
Jack: hmmm omen-bark, bark-lounger, beetlejuice.
Daniel: Barkna, it was barkna.
Jack: Well if it was barkna, the door would be opening wouldn’t it.
Daniel: This was your idea
Jack: You’re the linguist.
Daniel: Well I don’t remember
Jack: Well try!
