Loved this episode!

I really enjoyed this whole episode, especially the difficult choices made at the end: To save Teal'c, Daniel had to destroy technology that could have been used to save his wife, Sha're, and Jack's friend, Skaara--and anyone else taken over by a Goa'uld!

Teal'c, in turn, offered himself up (to stay in the labyrinth forever), if Thor's Hammer could be used to save Sha're and Skaar (specifically, because of their importance to his team members), because he felt that he owed that to his friends--the people who had led him to freedom.

Jack, showing team leadership, pointed out to Daniel that Sha're and Skaara weren't there (to be saved), but that Teal'c was, intimating that they may not ever have the opportunity to save their loved ones, but that a choice needed to be made now.

With an obviously heavy heart, knowing that he may be destroying his only chance to save his beloved Sha're, Daniel destroyed Thor's Hammer and Teal'c was able to escape from the labyrinth.

I know that some reviewers have commented on SG-1's tendency to destroy the very technology they are charged with discovering, and I get that; but who would they be saving the world from over the next nine seasons if it were that simple?
