I thought this one was okay

It's been quite a while since I've seen it, but it was mostly predictable making me feel like it really didn't matter why they were growing old, because they would figure it out and it would all turn out okay.

[Colonel Carter]

It was okay, not great not horrible. Nothing really fab about it. Another opportunity for RDA to show the range of his acting skills.

This would probaly be one of my favorite ones Jack is trying to convince them their god is just a statue thats shortened their life span which is true

[Robin K]

I thought the best line was when Daniel was teasing Jack...

"It's only for you!" Love that look he gave Jack.

This episode also gave us a peek at just how arrogant and cruel the Goa'uld could be. Even though we never met Pelops, his little 'experiment' was probably one of the most cruel things we see that the Goa'uld do. Can you imagine living your entire life in 100 days?
