An impressive episode, "Talion" hits the ground running from its opening sequence featuring a badly injured Teal'c and his good friend Bra'tac. When Teal'c goes solo to take down the evil Arkad, SG-1 realise they must stop him before he puts the future of the earth at risk.
The episode stars Craig Fairbrass as Arkad. Fairbrass has always been an actor that I've found annoying, but I think that's the intention as he's always seems to end up being cast as a baddie. This may have something to do with him being English - in Hollywood, being English is almost a sure sign of being picked as an evil bad guy...unless you're Hugh Grant.
I digress. "Talion" also contains a re-appearance from the delightful Lexa Doig as Dr. Carolyn Lam. I've been an admirer of Doig since her role in the short-lived series "CI5: The New Professionals" and it's always good to see her on the screen.
A gripping episode and one that Teal'c fans will rate as unmissable.
8 out of 10.
