Redial the Gate: Family

I enjoyed Bloodlines immensely, so why does Family almost bore me? It's got Bra'tac. It's got teamy goodness. It's got angst and some great Teal'c moments. It's got fantastic Hammond and Little Doc. It has the huge impact of discovering that Apophis is actually still alive (although there is no way that anyone Gated out after Daniel, when he dived through a second before the C4 went off - he and Klorel must have Gated out before Daniel got there). Why doesn't it resonate the way Bloodlines does?

( Thoughts on conflict )

Random question: Fro'tac, as far as I can tell, works as an accountant. Teal'c, by contast, was First Prime. Yet compare the size of their homes! Maybe Apophis values money more than victory...?
