My problem is that, yeah, we watched them come to terms with their mortality. They've died scary deaths, several times for some of the characters. But, none of it "really" happened. And, they really didn't solve the problem. They failed multiple times but got redos until they could get it right. All of that together took the drama out of it. Still, a big step up from the previous week.
I wouldn't say "hammered", maybe suggested to them via kino? And, I think they've all had a sense of impending death from the get-go. Between running out of air, water, and diving into the sun, they've faced being wiped out. So, no, I don't think this episdoe added much to that.

This episode was much, much better than last week. Eli got some nice moments in this episode as well. I hope they'll keep making this kind of episodes instead of writing those body swop storylines.
Well, going by the blurb for the next episode...
"The crew finds a device that may hold the promise of getting them home. Lt. Scott and Camille visit their loved ones using the communication stones"
It looks like we have Earth 2.0 coming up.

^ Dang! 
Thought the ep was decent. Gave it 7/10. Interestingly I seem to be waiting until further into the week to watch the episode. Used to watch it the day of... then it was Saturday... now it's Monday (football season = skip a day).
It was a pretty standard time conundrum reset job, but I liked that they ended it on the Kino toss instead of say that Youtube clip of them discussing the solution. It looks like Eli has sentenced himself to being the loyal friend pining for the girl. What an idiot, but I guess I kind of expected that. I didn't like his desert island movies thing... just a little too predictable for me.
Rush's Butch and Sundance schtick was pretty funny though. And I liked the pursuit of ascension angle to Rush's character, even though hunting for Ancient leftovers from hundreds of thousands of years before they actually ascended seems a little iffy.

Atlantis would have everything about ascension in it's database, so why would there be anything relevant in the Destiny's library, as it predates Atlantis by a gazillion years?
All Rush needed to do was hop in that genetic advancer machine-thingy that McKay got zapped by.
Spot on.

I did find it a bit odd that Rush talked about ascension like it was some big mystery as if all the discoveries that SG1 and SGA made about it never happened.
This doubly sucks. The visits home suck and, of course, we know they aren't going to be getting home. It sounds worse than pointless.

He did not know that is where the 9th chevron lead though, nothing in the database said what the 9th chevron was for, it only gave an address. So my point still stands, perhaps Rush though the 9th chevron was going to lead to an answer about Ascension.
He'll ascend at the end of the series and it'll be grand.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I liked this one. thought it was a fun twist that they recovered the Keno, learned from everything the first group did, and then when they sent the new team to try again, that team also failed. A little quick thinking by Scott, and it gets set up to get a better result in the next loop.
Entertaining episode, I don't mind a time travel episode on occasion, as long as it's more or less coherent. And while we didn't SEE the character growth, it still happened. OUR crew saw the recordings from both Kenos, so while we don't see the reactions, it's likely very similar to the reactions we saw from the crew that only recovered the first Keno. That crew ended up not being the one we 'kept' going forward, but they passed most of that along to the next loop, and the version of the crew we have now, so it wasn't a full reset/erasure...

Re: SG-U
The ending worked for me. The other way I'm used to seeing. They take an alien make a medication and give it to the person nearest death and the physical symptons magically disappear in less then 10 seconds. Nah, we didn't need a part two for that

hey, millenium here....i saw 'Time'..this was way better than earth and felt like a stargate episode....next week looks like Earth pt2.....the show can holds its own without the melo-drama....the moment with eli and TJ was a golden character moment....thats the kinda drama i want to see these people are more or less 'family' now and i look forward to this type of character drama...
That thought occured to me for a split second when I saw one get shot, then I forgot about it.
