I don't think Jacob will die, at least he's not in the thick of the action on the space station where the summit is being held.....in fact Daniel is.
Daniel has gone with Jacob to act as Yu's slave during the Summit and SG1 and the new SG recruits go to the Tok'ra base Rivanna to see him off and for the recruits to have familiarisation exercises with the Tok'ra. However, after Daniel and Jacob leave, the base comes under attack by motherships and the gate is blocked preventing escape. The Tok'ra get taken out big time by Zipacna acting on the orders of Anubis. The original intent was to use the same toxin that Daniel is carrying to destroy the 7 System Lords on the Tok'ra, but instead they blow the base to smithereens and block the stargate which is the only means of escape.
Lantesh, who the Tok'ra have been keeping alive while he heals, was released when an explosion destroyed the lab where he was on the Tok'ra base. Carter, Elliot (the newbie) are the only people left alive. When Carter comes to, she discovers that Elliot has been taken by Lantesh, who is subsequently healing Elliot's wound. The symbiote had not choice but to seek a host and Elliot was the closest person alive, apart from Carter. Teal'c and Jack get pinned down trying to reach the Stargate and it ends up that they appear (again) to be the only ones who escape. They go back to find Carter and the others.
Meanwhile Daniel has problems of his own when the Tok'ra plan has a hitch. Acting as Yu's human slave, he is meant to wait until the 7 most powerful System Lords are present and then he's supposed to release a toxin which will kill all symbiotes (which means the Jaffa too) and therefore the Goa'uld, leaving a power vacuum which the Tok'ra intend to take advantage of to kill all the symbiotes.
Yu doesn't recognise him because the Tok'ra managed to synthesise some of the chemical produced which made the alien in the Fifth Man able to deceive everyone.
The plan is set, the party is arranged and everybody who is anybody is there.........and then in walks Osiris, who of course immediately recognises Daniel, but doesn't say anything.
Daniel manages to get a message to Jacob to say that Osiris is there, but before anything else can be said, the doors open and in walks Osiris herself saying "Daniel Jackson. You are a long way from home."
Jack and Teal'c find Carter and Elliot and are trying to make their way out of the ruined passages when the wall crumbles inwards......
I have to say that this time, I totally agreed with Jack, who was his usual sceptical self about the whole thing.... with damn good reason in my opinion and extremely justified. Neither Jack nor Daniel are comfortable with the Tok'ra's plan to annihilate the Goa'uld and I think that Jack believes that they might have different ideas to the so called philanthropical attitudes they have put forward so far. Jacob does nothing to allay that feelings, in fact seems rather more evasive than he has ever been. Jack was rather good in this, even though he didn't have the primary role, which really went to Daniel, who also has a good part. The sideline of Sam, Elliot and Lantesh is rather interesting and doesn't detract from the episode at all.
Lots of action, some new rather interesting System Lords, all suspicious of each other and Zipacna who was oily and smooth in his nastiness. Osiris doesn't really want to serve Anubis, but she/he recognises power when she/he sees it and apparently they have some sort of acquaintance with each other.
And everything is still only hinting at the power of Anubis who is keeping well in the background and doesn't seem to display any of the idiocy of his Goa'uld colleagues. He wasn't going to get his **ss shot off...... he was sending minions for that. I doubt that he will allow himself to be trapped on a locked bridge with a vengeful Jaffa. I just hope that SG1 aren't allowed to kill this Anubis off the way they have done with the others.
Good action shots, good interaction, relationships between the team were there, but not hindering the storyline, in fact accentuating it.
Now why the hell couldn't they have done this before?
A good episode, well worth watching. Can't wait to see the Last Stand. Should be a good 'un folks!
Blimey, it's nice to say that for a change!!!
I will also post this in the UK Season 5 forum.
