The lack of female Jaffa warriors is certainly something the show has needed to address, but it's a shame that this is the way it was done. Not a bad episode by any means, but it's very forgettable even with Jolene Blalock guest starring. I absolutely want to see more Jaffa women kicking people's asses. Blalock is the best part of this but Christopher Judge doesn't have that much chemistry with her and the romance subplot is really misplaced within the context of the story.
The other good part of it is Daniel's friendship that forms with the young girl, Nesa. I wish the episode had allowed more time for this to be explored, along with helping to make us to better understand the aggressive views of her older sister. This feels like an episode with too many elements crammed in, so the important ones in there don't get a proper chance to breathe.
It's actually quite surprising how few female writers worked on SG-1 over the years.
@lefthandedguitarist I can't take that romance thread seriously, not considering who wrote the script. Teal'c would surely be above such nonsense, but I guess Christopher Judge wasn't. :joy::frowning:
