This has by far got to be the bloodiest episode of Stargate ever. The fight between Arcad and Teal’c, ends with Arcad first running his ’staff sword’ (stealthed too - it was given away by the obvious curvature of the ‘bo’, you will notice the staff given to Teal’c is straight…at first!) through what seems to be Teal’c’s goa’uld pouch.

In an amazing, impossible-but-expected, come back he kicked Arcad to a wall with what appears to be a weapon rack, who gets run through. Teal’c proceeds to pull out the sword from his belly, advance towards Arcad, and run it through from his upper-left shoulder blade, down through his torso towards his right kidney/liver.

I imagine this penetrated through his lungs, stomach and who know’s what else, but did seem like a very painful way to die.

This episode is probably one of the first episodes in which Stargate has taken a very ’serious’ and bloody tone, and sadly just goes to show what we are going to miss in almost another three (3) to seven (7) episodes at most.

As a finale, it is going to be brilliant, and many have suggested that SG-1 should have ended ages ago, but hey - I’m not complaining, at least Atlantis is slated for a few more seasons! =)
