The more Teal'c centered episodes I see, the less I like him. Teal'c is rapidly turning into the one member of SG-1 that I just do not want to know.
The first time I started hmmming was in Crossroads. Here we have Teal'c having an affair with Sho'nac. Now, I am willing to be openminded about this because it is unclear whether or not Teal'c is at that moment with his wife (she having been married to that other Jaffa and all). However, it is also unclear on whether or not Teal'c had been having an affair with Sho'nac while he was still married before.
However, when we go into S7 and Teal'c is the first time with Istha, he shows a certain regret at losing his wife. The way it was played suggested that they were still together. Apparently sleeping with someone after his wife's death is more of a moral issue than sleeping with someone while she's still alive. Charming man isn't he?
So now Affinity and Sacrifices. Hello? Teal'c elopes with a girl, sleeps with her and then acts all "manly" with Istha again. Sure, they respect each other but loyalty is not something that is in Mr. T's book.
Besides that, it's the way Teal'c treats all Jaffa (besides Bra'tac). On SG-1 he is the loyal friend and steady rock of the team. Outside that however, he's a know it all chauvinist. In the Warrior he choses to ignore SG1 in favour of following that Jaffa. In S7 Sacrifices, he goes with Istha to give her counsel and then speaks against her. Sorry, but that is not respect.
Conclusion: I don't like Teal'c, the more they tune into his personal life, the less I do. He might be a great friend to his team mates but besides that he has shown a lack of morals. I'm amazed how no one has ever spoken out to it.
And because I'm talking about Sacrifices; that scene in the hall with Sam and Jack was just too cute.
