To outline the challenges the SGC faces on Earth, in general, and dredge up an excuse for the characters, who are not technically SG-1 at this point, to go offworld.
I see the production as being in a Wait & Exposit mode until AT gets back.
Vala is a temp with no real place at the SGC. The treasure hunt in "Avalon" and scavenger hunt in "Ties That Bind" had to involve those dopey bracelets so the writers had a semi-plausible reason for the staff of the SGC to not just throw her through the outwash of the next incoming wormhole. The hunts themselves are excuses to be somewhere besides the drab corridors of the SGC, talking to each other.
Pretty much everything else they've done is to set up the villains, on-world and off. We now know that the SGC is facing the most dreaded foe of all: de-prioritization by bean counters. The Orii are going to have to do something a lot more impressive than thump a figurative pulpit to divert funds back from Atlantis.
I didn't worry about the point, I just enjoyed the view. *g*
To be honest, I found the sub plots and the description of how the Jaffa and the rest were dealing with the destruction of the Goa'uld rather fascinating.
