Ba’al is up to no good — again!
The last time we saw Ba’al, he was lowering his head, seemingly in defeat, as Anubis announced his “grand design” for the galaxy which included Ba’al’s being aware of his own death at the hands of Anubis (8.18 “Threads”). Before that, he was laughing as he escaped from the Rebel Jaffa who had boarded his ship over Dakara (8.17 “Reckoning Part 2”).
We recently reported that it was uncertain whether or not Ba’al’s face would be seen, but now we can be certain that he will be because Cliff Simon, the actor who brings Ba’al to life, has posted in his message board that he was filming his first episode in Season Nine, “Ex Deus Machina”. He says that it will be a “great episode” and that we shouldn’t miss it!
Hopefully, by reading between the lines, Ba’al survives the episode and we’ll get to see what he’ll be doing next to stir things up after the major defeat of the System Lords.
