"Apophis
(Egyptian Apep) was the great adversary of the sun god, Re and was the very embodiment of the powers of dissolution,
darkness and non-being. Hence, he was a sort of void or "black hole" forcing those he swallowed into that
non-existence which the Egyptians feared so greatly. Being completely outside of the natural world, he was believed to
require no nourishment other than to "breathe" his own shouts. He was a huge serpent who was thought to have
existed at the beginning of time in the waters of primeval chaos prior to creation and his power was so great that it was thought that he would continue to exist in an endlessly malevolent cycle of attack, defeat and resurgent attack. He is thus known by many
epithets, ranging from evil lizard, opponent and enemy to world encircler and serpent of rebirth"
They really chose this character's name well in which case. He does seem to come back from the dead endlessly and is what Col. O'Neill calls a 'snakehead'.
The fact that I even did this bit of research is proof of what mortal peril I am in - I am clearly about to step over the line between being a person who likes to watch SG-1 and a crazy SG-1 obsessive. I don't think I'm in any danger of wanting to write to the cast yet, but I'm keeping an eye on the situation.... Brian, you may yet have to stage that intervention :-)
