The thing I like most about this scene is they avoided the cliche of having the intelligence officer being antagonistic or needlessly skeptical of Teal'c's veracity. Kennedy isn't rude, doesn't treat Teal'c with suspicion and doesn't accuse him of holding back when he can't answer a question. With no evidence to the contrary, he accepts that Teal'c is being as honest as he can be. And when Teal'c mentions the legend of the Tau'ri, Kennedy immediately tells him that Earth is that world, which is a useful nugget of information. In short, the military guys aren't aggro and stupid, they way they're normally portrayed.
After some initial tension to increase the contrast, Teal'c was surely surprisingly open and helpful to them. Good, straightforward trustbuilding effort.
i wish they kept Teal'c like this. By episode 5 he is talking about "this planet is radioactive, the Goa'uld use....." We should of had a whole season of him refering to it as magic. Because to him, they are GODS. How does the staff weapon work? Magic. How does the Stargate work? Magic. Whats the name of their giant ships? Its magic. When they are on the Hat'ak, then he should of had a sudden "it was all technology? There was no magic." revelation.
Remember though that Teal'c already didn't believe that they were gods. By the beginning of the series, Teal'c, along with Bra'tac, were already part of a secret movement within the ranks of the Jaffa which ideologically eschewed beliefs in their godhood. It's why Teal'c's line in the first episode is "but you are the first I believed who could do it." When O'Niell says he can help the prisoners. This indicates that Teal'c was already of the belief that the Goa'uld were bad, and we learn later that he and Bra'Tac had already been of that mindset for a long time. Also remember the Season 1 Finale with the alternate universe where Teal'c is still First Prime. One of their specific plans is to reach out to him and contact him because they know that even the uncontacted version of Teal'c already hosts those anti-Goa'uld beliefs. They only fail because they nuked Chulak and it pissed him off. So he already knows that the Goa'uld are liars and that the lack of knowledge of the tech is due to them keeping it secret with lies of magic, he is simply expressing that here because that's the only term he has ever needed to use, and either way, whatever word used, he still doesn't understand how it works. But it's not because of recency of change in beliefs.
It is said that the goa'uld harvested among the beans some became food for Goa'uld others for the Jaffa. Others seeded across the stars to become food for the slaves that serve them.

No pressure guys, you got this.
They clearly had some fun with the lighting in this scene.
Seeing this video and realizing that earth was so special has made me want to watch the entire episode.

General Hammond addresses Teal'c as "son" even though Teal'c is old enough to be his grandfather 🤣
RIP Don S Davis 🙏
Reminds me of logan and charles considering their dynamic. 😂😂
A fun realization moment of Earth that I haven't been able to find elsewear on UA-cam so thanks for it.
they sell that meeting table also with an elbow rest that goes around the entire table. Best conference table
Or maybe it is a launch ramp for pointed fingers.

He *was* the First Prime of Apophis. Surely it wasn't *all* magic?

Tbh i would assume he digested enough of Earth’s knowledge to understand a bit
Wow, just wow
Ditto.
Most righteous wow!
...
Let us vow to fight the unjust wow!

The next time I want to watch SG1, I'm going to eat beans while I watch.
Beans? Kree!
What a funny mistery.
How does he know how Teal'c's name is spelled in English?
_Knowledge keeps you from falling._
_Knowalledge keeps you from moving._
_This I know._
This scene has such weird editing
