Torri did do a very good job in this episode, though I'd like the writers to have explored the symbolism of the "man" or "thing" that kept trying to get at her. What was up with that? The nanites were embodied by the doctor guy (hello, ferris bueller's dorky friend!), so I'd like to know why they repeatedly had a shadowy man (who also growled like an animal) written into the script and then didn't resolve that aspect of what was going on with her character. Didn't it seem kind of like what was the point when there was no resolution or explanation?

It was Sheppard trying to get through to her. The nanites were trying to scare her off that trail though...
