Never saw that on Atlantis!

There is still plenty of time for that, i'm sure the Nympho asian chick (not wray) would screw him in a heartbeat
Pretty disappointing episode. 1st, this hallucination sthick has been done to death on lots of shows before. Alien mind ticks? bleh.
But this could have been a chance to show us some new things about some of the crew. Instead we just get stuff that we already know. Chloe misses her dad.. Scott feels guilty about his son... Greer is paranoid.. Rush fears the blues..
There was nothing new here, nothing to move the show or characters forward. This episode was filler.
Also that cool teaser we kept seeing of the Blues boarding Destiny through the gate? Just hallucination. Wow, what a let down. SGU really dropped the ball with this episode.
This is the 1st episode in awhile to let me down. But I'm psyched about the next two.

Fucking to rock music. Now that's how you kick off a Stargate episode.
At first I thought Scott was two-timing with Chloe and Lt. James, then when he got hit on the head and started bleeding out, I thought... Oh yeah, this is the hallucination episiode I read about earlier today.
The Bad: Not the strongest installment of SGU. It felt like a Trek episode where the crew comes down with hallucinations or something. It was very straightforward and run-of-the mill for the most part. It was also too standalone.
The Good: Christopher McDonald. It was a surprise and a pleasure to see him again no matter how brief. Also, the ending was attention grabbing with Wray pleading with Greer followed by our characters still affected by what they did when it was all over. That last part is something you didn't see much of in Trek. Usually the crew was over it pretty quickly.
In the end, I'll go with 6 chevrons. I actually was falling asleep a bit, but only because I'm genuinely tired from a long day.
It was very average and I might have given it a 5, but the good points I mentioned above pushed the grade up a bit for me.

This episode was a complete waste of time.
We learned that they never found the chair guy that disappeared. We learned that they are in range of the new galaxy. That is it.
I hate mind fuck episodes. I want stories that move things forward. I want real events. I would have loved it if Lt. Titties had lost it and bashed in Scott's head. He could have ended up in medical instead of dead, but at least there would have been some real drama.

So where did they get the ticks? I got the impression it was the obelisk planet...meaning the people left there are going nutso.
Shit, maybe the obelisk was to warn about the ticks!
I was half-expecting someone NOT to have the tick, maybe Rush...he was just having some post-traumatic stress thing. But they didn't do that.
Pretty buy-the-books episode...not a typo, really someone bought the book on sci-fi cliche plots and wrote this one.
