The subject of War of the Gods goes back to the beginning of recorded time, the battle between good and evil. The thing that makes these two episodes so great is they exactly portray how that battle is fought.
The whole concept of 'the ancients' (or the angels) is almost directly taken by the Stargate SG1 tv series. (see Stargate SG1 season 3, episode: Maternal Instinct). The later seasons take more focus on the ancients and the Daniel Jackson character actually transcends and becomes one of them.
From what I have read - and it bears out later, when Apollo talked about Mephisopholes (spell) and also when Starbuck shoots Count Iblis, that there was the body of Count Iblis - as a devil - with hooved feet. The producers felt it was not needed and disrupted the flow of the scene. The mystery of not knowing EXACTLY makes it even better. I loved this episode. Lots of sympbolism and layers in this one.

According to commentary on the DVDs it was supposed to be something like hoof prints-revealing that iblis really was literally the devil

of the best shows yet!!!!Go Adama for standing up to the man! Go Apollo for doing the right thing! This is a great series (though I try to think of it as a Mini-series so as not to get too disappointed!)
I read the novels to. They are as good as you could expect for a TV ti-in. I think they were wrtten pretty quickly to cash in on the show.
