    I liked it a lot, had a lot of elements of previous sg1 storylines. Lol at the malp dropping smoke, nice moves.

    Thought it was a really good episode, really showed McKay in a new light which I really enjoyed.

    The part at the end has been coming for quiet a while.

    A pretty solid standalone episode - definitely reminded me of some early SG-1 story lines. I was good to see McKay's sister back though I missed the banter they have had in her previous appearances. Really enjoyed the part with Sheppard on the pier and Keller finally got a bit more to do than usual...

    I thought it was a really good episode when I read that Rodney would revert to a child like state I thought it would be a funny episode but it was really sad actually and really weird to see how Ronan responded to it in particular....

    Yea that Dr.Keller bits been coming since the season 4 finale...he got over the florist quick enough...

    That bit on the peer was great aswell...calling him Arthur :D...it was kind of like Tao of Rodney but better and more serious...

    When I read the summary for this, I didn't like the sound of it. I liked it alot though.... very good episode, and great acting from Hewlett.

    If the stargate forum was in the Television category, I'd add a poll..... *grumble* *grumble*

    was a very good stand alone episode. Mckay gave us a great performance, especially in the video diary parts.

    A very touching storyline and well put together. I was a bit apprehensive when they took out the drill and were talking about DIY brain surgery but the managed to pull that off quite well.

    Its a pity this is the last season, its starting to get into a decent rhythm.

    Add another very good from me. I wasn't sure at first when it started out but it actually worked - Hewlitt put in one of his best performances and he made some touching scenes. When he set on the pier and Sheppard refused to say goodbye then was a classic scene - it recalled the intense friendship that O'Neill and Daniel developed in SG1.
    In fact I got a really vibe of the earlier SG-1 seasons when characters fell prey to diseases, e.g. Season 3's "Legacy". Take a relatively simple premise and use it to create some quality character moments. Damn, already making me more annoyed about the show's upcoming end.

    I thought it has been a very good season so far...true the first episode could have been a bit better but the only not so good episode was number three I thought...

    OK standalone episode. One thing I don't get is why can't they cloak the jumper before going through the gate? And would smoke really be enough to blind the sensors of the Wraith ships? It doesn't seem very likely.

    Loved the panda PJs though. Very butch :pac:

    Good Episode, I liked it, McKay is one o my favourite characters on d'telly

    I like others expected a 'Funnier' episode but was not disapointed with this, the storyline had a level of plausibility about it that made the whole thing move along nicely.

    I loved this episode.

    When they talked about brain surgery in the damp cave, I just went "WTF"? "That is retarded." I honestly thought it was exploding tumours all over again.

    I thought that it was very well done, and I thought Hewlett's acting was superb.

    :D David Hewlitt was brilliant in this ep. Ronon got to behave more like his old self. I was gobsmacked to see such a god episode after the disappointment that S5 turned into :mad:
