The name is a reference to the god, so this isn't an attempt by the work to make his name sound discordantly mundane. This would be a case of narm if you really found the name silly.

* TomTheDarkLord: As pointed out by [[Website/SFDebris SFDebris]], while it is the name of an Egyptian god, "Seth" is also a common English name, so it doesn't come off as particularly intimidating.

* SignatureStyle: A plot point when SG-1's trying to figure out how in the hell they're gonna find one Goa'uld among 6 billion people. Daniel and Teal'c both point out that even in hiding, Seth ''is'' still a Goa'uld -- ergo, he ''won't'' be able to give up his thirst for false religion, its accompanying worship, or power. That gives Daniel a starting point for trying to track Seth's trail since Ancient Egypt. It works.

Following a tip from Jacob Carter, SG-1 investigates a Goa'uld who has been hiding on earth under the guise of a cult leader named Seth.

* {{Cult}}: Seth has managed to hide from the System Lords on earth for the last several thousand years by running a series of religious cults.
* {{Deprogramming}}: The effects of the ''nishta'' can be neutralized by administering an electrical charge. Carter devises earpieces to be worn by herself, O'Neill and Daniel so that Jacob and Teal'c can shock them remotely should they come into contact with the substance, while the brainwashed cult followers are taken care of with zats.

* RedRightHand: Daniel is able to realize that the cult leader is in fact the Goa'uld they're looking for due to numerous eyewitness accounts claiming that his eyes glowed.
