Baal was I think everyone's favorite System Lord, he was witty, humorous, actually liked being on Earth expect when on the base, and helped cause he felt like it
@@users10116 He was very pragmatic and this put him far ahead of other system lords strategically. He knew he had vulnerabilities and tried to minimize them while the others lived in their little delusions about being Gods
@@jakeg3733 its like baal anubis and yu pointed out their counterparts have baught their own propaganda way to much as for these 3 anubis was technically a demigod if being ascended makes you a godlike being plus he was a genius with knowlage of many techs lost to time. yu never set him self up as a god but a powerful ageless emperor and baal while he went with the god stick never baught into his own bs which is why these 3 were the most sucsessful cus while they were still power hungry they diden't have the delusion problems of the other goa'uld thinking their untouchable with no weakness
@@lordsathariel4384 Exactly. For Baal the whole "I am a God" thing was just to keep up appearances to his followers/servants. That he didn't believe it himself says a lot about his character, and in fact he seemed to think the concept was pretty amusing. I always got the feeling that Yu was more like Baal in his younger year
Anubis may have been the most evil, and Apophis was the most personal enemy to SG-1, but Ba'al was easily the most fun Goa'uld to watch. Did like the bonus of him causing problems during the last 2 seasons when The Ori were now the primary threat.
Apophis was idiot, he was try to fight like old school Anubis wasnt plant it very well, and baal was smart and almost manege to survive. He survived anubis, and the ori and almost was succeeded to beat the theori by going back in time and cahnge things
@@SigalDa imo ba'al was the most dangerous goa'uld because one he was rational and two he never thinked he was a god and three he was far more smarter than any other goa'uld , the arrogance of the system lords and the goa'uld overall was their biggest weakness but ba'al had none of this stupid arrogance that the goa'uld had
@@users10116this, he was arguably the most dangerous and successful Gouald, he managed to control most of the system lords forces, when that fell apart, he ingratiated himself into earth as a successful business man to rebuild and genuinely nearly won with his time travel tricks, all because he was willing to adapt. The only other one that maybe was as successful was Yu, he saw the value of cooperation when it suited and that let to him lasting a hell of a long time
That was a very _human_ thing to do. One of the reasons he was such a compelling character. He sought to subjugate humanity, but didn't view us as unintelligent insects like the other system lords. I guess over time that made him a little more human
It's interesting that Ba'al was one of the few, maybe only, Goa'uld that preferred speaking with a normal human voice. I think he actually liked being "human-like". The other Goa'uld were just obsessed with being gods, but he just wanted to be control them in any way, sharp, or form, whether it be as a god, boss, or businessman
That's an interesting observation and I think you're right. It would be great to someday get a little backstory on him. Things must have happened to set him apart from literally every other Goa'uld that we know about
@@danielallan8061 To an extent. For him, I think it was more pragmatism gained from being incredibly fucking old. He had no emotional attachment. Baal on the other hand, while he'd never admit it, actually feels an affinity for humanity. There were times he could have at minimum enslaved us, if not outright destroyed us. With pretty much zero negative consequences for him. And yet, he didn't
Ba’al was my absolute favourite Go’a’uld. Such humour; he knew the Tau’ri knew exactly what he really was, so he never tried to hide it from them. I always thought they should’ve incorporated him into SG1 in later seasons; he would have made an excellent begrudgingly helpful member of the team.
He may not have been trying to convince them he was a god, but he actively used the fact that SG-1 both knew he was full of bullshit with his claims of divinity to regularly drive them up the wall while they were working together. Not the best policy for dealing with allies of convience, if I'm being honest, but the sort of villain who has the stones to claim divinity in front of people who know better and have killed his kind in the past is the sort that's fun to watch.
@@ThePCguy17 He is a character that defines maturing with the audience. It would have been easy to make just another "god" bad guy. But baal was exactly how I imagine the Goauld would really adapt to the success and rise of earth. Icons come in many shapes. He was useful enough to not kill outright, deathless because of the clones, and manipulative to a fault. With charm and class. 10/10.
I was hoping they would do that. Any other system lords, hell no. But Baal would have made a good addition to the team. I mean they made a point to show how Vala changed for the better
I don't know, I think when he told Baal and Carter that "Clearly you work well together", that was pretty savage, and the look on both their faces showed it.
Teal'c grinned looking at Ba'al after Carter slugged him telepathically saying "I suggest you dont make this Tau'ri woman more angry unless you are fully prepared to take her full skorn"
The look on her face says why in the blazes would you say that, Teal'c? 9:13 Sam, thinking, "Clearly we need to have a little talk about when compliments are actually insults, Teal'c"
Selmak was sickened to be working with a Goa'uld so it stands to reason he didn't want to appear while Ba'al was around. Plus he was sick around this time and later in that episode, slips into a coma
@@bookwormgirl1852 Iirc, there's a moment where Sam asks if he is ok and he says he's fine. I think that's supposed to be the moment when Selmak passed out.
I think Selmak should have been more prominent in the series overall really. They never really made much of the fact that Selmak has enhanced strength and all that stuff that comes with being a goa'uld. Could have made some nice action sequences.
lord Ba'al had 5.000 years :) he was Cannanian /body , these people were before Egyptians not only movie series but I read about him in Stargate SG-1: A Matter of Honor, is a novel ,its 5 novels SG1 series he was important underlord and servant for Ra (Ra was oldest god) then he started work for himself, he was very intelligent scientist (he did all by himself) and a very good strategist (he should get more time in movie series,but still good) by character, we know that Goaul'd (Tok'ra too) were passionate, quick-tempered, easily angered, possessive
He also seemed to be the least crazy of them. Most seemed to believe their own press about being Gods, and where genuinely shocked when humans would challenge them. Baal was never surprised by that, and seemed to like annoying people by claiming it.
It really was shocking to hear he had died.... i'm not familiar of who he was as a person but.... he played an amazing character. Better then anyone else i could think of. I hope his was happy and that people remember his skills!
i really wish there was just one like "defective" clone of that realized that the could live out a fabulous, if quiet, life on earth with a little work for the sgc on the side when they needed him or he got bored
he took the long way in " went around it" or used Asgard beaming tech that he stole from Anubis.. Technology still worked outside the cave, just not so much inside. So he beams in just inside the Force field, while his Cohorts were just a bit outside :)..
@@haydenmichaels7039 yup: His ships sensors might not pick up the time field, but it would pick up the force shield energy signature. So good old Baal Beams in: He either takes a step into it, or like I said he beams just barely in it and his men not.. And yes his men notice he is not a God " he can't get out" Of course that time field was huge, Sam said. His could have entered from a different position.. And used his Jaffa to mark the way out " sad".. Baal is telling them a lie about them running off, when they are really just stuck in the field somewhere else lol. Or they did ran off, and got stuck in the field somewhere else too. So many outcomes, with the same ending.
@@haydenmichaels7039 Dome was the force field. Time field was more like a large circle surrounding the Cave, and force field. SG-1 or another team should have gone back to that planet after Audria. 1 or 2 ZPM's must have been powering all them tricks.
I wonder who would be the "smartest" (If we simplify it into one dimension) McKay or Ba'al. imo Sam is a bit behind, but has much better intuition. My money would be on Ba'al.
"Ah well allow me to get out of your line of fire." Still a 10/10 line.
Ba'al "I was merely trying to preserve a safe haven for myself and a few........good friends"
Teal'c "you mean slaves"
Ba'al "potato, potahto"
haha That's one of my favourite parts.

RIP Cliff Simon. You were probably the the best villain SG-1 ever faced!
He's a damn good actor and a fan favorite that's why Richard Anderson kept bringing them back
I think he was my favourite Goa'uld. So human in all of that arrogance and humour. And he did work well with Carter...
@Lara B Yeah sadly he is. He'll be truly missed
Damn, that sucks. Rip
He absolutely was. Every scene he was in was gold. Easily the most human and believable of the system lords

Hence the "sentimental value" :P
it wasn't this knife

"All flash, no foto!" is still one of my favourites.
Teal'c was straight up mentally eating popcorn watching Sam and Baal interact by the obelisk.
0:53 Jack O'Neil would definitely have said "That's a lot of Baals"
That line did get used. "I had you had a few extral Ba'als.

I don't know, I think when he told Baal and Carter that "Clearly you work well together", that was pretty savage, and the look on both their faces showed it.
You know those villains that you love to hate? Well this was a villain you hated to love. He made the late seasons worth it.
That's a great way of putting it
This guy was great as baal loved this series, one of the best Programmes ever,Amanda was Gorgeous 😊
He was funny baddy I liked him

What about Todd the Wraith?

R.I.P Cliff Simon :(
I appreciated this episode in that it gave Ba'al an opportunity to interact with the rest of the cast in mostly a non-hostile way...mostly. xD
4:28 You know, the funny thing is Baal _did_ end up inside of her.
Just the Goa'uld way....
You know what I found odd is that in the scenes where Jacob interacted with Ba'al, it was always Jacob doing the talking and never Selmak.
Selmak was sickened to be working with a Goa'uld so it stands to reason he didn't want to appear while Ba'al was around.
