I originally gave this a higher rating, but on further review had to lower the rating.
Teal'c is stuck inside a training simulation that learns from him. The darn thing even cheats. The in game deaths are stressing his body to the point of death! What's going on?
Eh, who cares?
The basic premise is that the simulation is learning from Teal'c from two years ago. That Teal'c wouldn't give up, but deep down he didn't believe they could defeat the Goa'uld. In other words, his faith was shaken.
That makes no sense. Teal'c joining SG-1 was an act of faith that O'Neill and the Tau'ri could defeat the Goa'uld. Everything he did was based on that belief. Now this episode suggests Teal'c really didn't have that faith.
What?
He won't give up. But he knows he can't win. Then he gives up. The people who made SG-1 twisted themselves, and the Teal'c character, into knots for this story.
This story does nothing to advance the overall SG-1 story or any of the characters.
