[edit] Rank

Teal'c once held the rank of First Prime, but after his defection, at the end of Stargate SG-1 Season 1 Episode 2: The Enemy Within, General Hammond said to Teal'c, "Welcome aboard Sergeant". -- Ed Telerionus 23:05, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

He said "son", not "sergeant".

[edit] Hair

What about his hair growth in later seasons? ANy explanation on his goatee? PrometheusX303 23:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Any explanation of his eyeshadow? Furby100 04:09, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

His goatee? Nope, still no explanation (At least, not that I know of). However, his top-of-head hair is there because the Jaffa tradition of shaving ones head after marriage was started by the Goa'uld, and Teal'c has decided to rebel even against such small things as that.

On the DVD they explain the goatee by saying that Christopher Judge came into season 4 with it and wanted to keep it, then realised several episodes later realised how silly it looked and shaved it off, so it is never really explained in the Stargate universe. askwho 15:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prototypical Jaffa?

Like Worf did for the Klingon race in the Star Trek series, Teal'c transformed his race from anonymous and irredeemable villains (in the early seasons of the show) into a rich society further developed by the writers of each episode. In the process, both characters have come to symbolize their respective races as their cultural perspectives become key points in story plots throughout the series they are involved in.

Bad analogy as Star Trek:TNG and later series had the opposite effect on the Klingons, going from an interesting and competent foe in the original series to a one dimensional warrior race. Really, do we even need this section at all? Remove it I say.

I think it's a good anology, considering what the writer was going for, but I'm going to edit it anyway, since the reference to Worf really isn't necessary. JBK405 02:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Indeed

Where did the number 763 come from? JBK405 23:05, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I think we need some kind of source here, I've never heard any official comment on just how often Teal'c said "Indeed", whether it be 763 times or 95. JBK405 15:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

"* In September of 2006, an internet user named hawkeyefile had watched and calculated how many times Teal'c had said "indeed", it was aproximately 164 times."

I think we need a source for this, this is the third number that's been posted here. Who is hawkeyefile, and where did he give his results? JBK405 02:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
