When Scott's team explores a new planet, a plant-like organism infects the lieutenant, causing him to hallucinate a life back on Earth where he is getting married.
First thing I thought too - that's a very dangerous procedure to do if you don't know anyone's blood type.
Otherwise, I agree with Hand of Evil - complete and utter waste of an hour. This is exactly the kind of episode SGU should not be airing if they want a third season.
Yeah, utterly skippable. One thing happened in the episode: Matt's got the alien virus too. And I'm sure that will be pointed out at the beginning of the next episode.
If the stakes weren't any dire enough, Caprica has been canceled. Seeing as how the shows are pulling similar numbers, whereas Warehouse 13 was doing three times the viewers a month or so ago, it's not looking good. Definitely not the time you wanted an episode like this.
Leaving aside the almost universal view that they could have done a lot more with the 42 minutes . . .
They originally came to Destiny in a huge hurry, barely escaping with a slim amount of supplies, yet it seemed to me that they built the perimeter they used for defense this last episode out of SG-issue crates (and seemingly used quite a few of them). Assuming those crates are mde from a lightweight space-age polymer ( ), one might also assume they needed to have a lot of heavy stuff in them to make them a reasonably secure barrier. Following that logic . . .
A bunch of trash, perhaps...both from what they brought aboard originally, expended ship's stores ("10,000 year old MREs? Again?"), and whatever they've salvaged along the way (on screen and off).
I also spent a lot of time wondering where they got all the flamethrower fuel. Is the still *THAT* productive? Or did someone bring aboard a couple of crate's worth at the beginning??
It was wild seeing all the actors clean and happy looking in the hallucinations. That and noticing that Pvt. James cleans up really, really well.
Other than that? TOTAL waste of my time. Come on! Do something already...
