I thought this episode was fantastic. Of course, I love episodes that involve people going crazy....people fighting aliens in their minds...and people having hallucinations. I believe that this makes for great episodes by testing the characters strength. (No doubt that they have done this type of thing before, on SG-1 and SGA. I thought that it had just enough twists to merit it being a great episode, a full three out of five, if not four out of five.)

It was a good episode up until the last 5-10 minutes or so. That's the real reason I wanted to post. I was yelling at the TV when Weir didn't follow Shepperd in the elevator at first, and then the flashed to the three guys running down the hallway. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. (Anytime I yell at the TV, which isn't much, I count it as good writing...because I'm so absorbed into the episode.) And then, at the end, when Shepperd goes into the containment area and grabs her arm, and you could see him in the SGC telling her what was going on. I thought that was bloody fantastic. Excellent writing and excellent acting.

The only thing that seemed a little far-fetched was Shepperd figuring it out. I dunno, it seemed kinda weird. I'm happy it wasn't McKay...but it seemed to come out of no where.

Another thing, I believe there could have been an excellent Weir/Shepperd Shipper moment at the end where Weir could have told Shepperd that she heard him when she was infested by the nanites.

I also think it's weird that Weir didn't recognize the outline of Shepperd. I mean, she's lived with the man for 2+ years. I think you would get used to somebody's outline or whatever. (At least, I tend to do that. I can tell who it is by the way they walk or stand, even if I can't see them.)

Another thing, I really though the episode title was hilarious. When I saw "The Real World" I automatically started saying, "This is the story of eight strangers..." I think that would make a great Real World Season. The people from SG-1 and SGA.

But I thought this was a great episode overall.
