    Good things fall apart

    Sort of beating the dead horse on this super jaffa warrior thing, it's been done and feels repetitive at this point. The diplomatic tension surrounding the alpha site was well acted and furthered the series storyline.

    The End of the Alliance

    Samantha and Selmak are working on the prototype of a weapon to defeat Anubis´ warriors at the Alpha base with the Toc´ra and the rebels Jaffa. Out of the blue, they are attacked by Goa'uld mother ships and several Earthlings are missing. While General Hammond interrogates the Toc´ra and Jaffa leaders, several Earthlings are missing in Alpha and Jack and Teal´c head to the planet to seek out Sam Carter. Meanwhile the super drone is hunting her down.

    "Death Knell" is an engaging episode of "Stargate SG-1" divided in two segments. Hammond with the Toc´ra and Jaffa leaders is a milestone of the end of their alliance. The super drone pursue to Sam is the action part of this episode. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Death Knell"

    • Trivia
      The "prototype weapon" is a modified Transphase Eradication Rod (TER), the weapon used to make Reetou visible.
    • Goofs
      The accuracy of the Kull warrior's shooting is inconsistent. He couldn't hit a squatting Major Carter with multiple shots but had no problem shooting down a flying UAV in one shot.
    • Quotes

      Jacob Carter: This prototype should have been done weeks ago.

      Major Samantha Carter: It's done. It's just not... finished.

      Jacob Carter: Interesting distinction.
