7/10
When a Jaffa communicates with his Symbiote, and a Ghoaul'd pledges allegiance to the Tok'Ra
4 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Ever wondered, dear SG fan, if a Ghoaul'd might be converted, educated, bettered and then transferred to a willing Tok'Ra? This episode and interesting, and very instructive for understanding the situations in the series—almost like a good introduction to the mutual relations of the species that populate the SG universe.

Of course, SG seems slightly less action—oriented than its main spin—off (namely, the ATLANTIS).

As usually, Anderson does a savory and light role. Teal'c gets several scenes.

Dr Fraser has a slightly larger role in CROSSROADS ;no need to add she's one of the beauties of this show—though the _hottie of CROSSROADS has to be who else than Shan'Auc from the Red Hills, who seems like an old flame of Teal'c.

Shan'Auc is a temple priestess who has educated her _symbiote. From her, we find out that Teal'c is still worshiped even as a god by many inhabitants from Chulak . She looks much like the Italian vamp Eva Grimaldi.

Shan'Auc has been sent by Bra'Tac; her _symbiote larva Goual'd has to be transferred to a willing (and even eager!) Tok'Ra.

Teal'c is tempted to leave the terrestrials and return to Chulak.

The episode is a lesson of Jaffa physiology, and about their cohabitation, if one might call it that, with their _symbiotes.

Teal'c has visions of his father being killed by Cronus—visions communicated by his own larva Goaul'd; Teal'c's father had been killed by Cronus crushing his larva and blending, mixing thus the bloods of the two beings.
