Quotes

Teal'c: When I look into Hanno's eyes, I see the horror on the faces of many others, as their loved ones prepare for Goa'uld absorption. Worse yet is the face of the victims whom I selected as they realize they are about to take their final human breath. Hanno's father is not the first nor the last of those whose lives I've taken. And I have done far worse. I cannot give all of their loved ones retribution, but I can at least give it to this one.

Honor and Friendship

Jack, Sam, Daniel and Teal'c travel to a planet with an amicable people that are afraid of Apophis and his Jaffas. They befriend the population but Teal'c is recognized by the villager Hanno as the Jaffa that killed his father when he was a boy. Teal'c is arrested and submitted to the Cor-ai, a trial where only Hanno can forgive him. While Daniel tries to defend him explaining that he changed for the good, Jack and Sam unsuccessfully try to convince General Hammond to send a rescue team to save him. Will Teal'c be saved by his friends?

"Cor-ai" is an interesting episode of "Stargate" with the discussion of whether a soldier following orders is responsible or not for his acts. The theme honor and friendship is well used and the conclusion is not corny. My vote is eight.
