well... you can't have "great stuff" every time, and i like to have some little
sidestories that don't really advance anything.
i felt 4x15 was worse --- i like to see stargate stuff on earth (impossible as
it may be, the whole program is still highly classified...), but an earth
scientist making his own replicators was just too far fetched. 4x16 was just a
little accident on some planet, really nothing to complain about, and maybe
really a moneysaver episode.
after watching the episode... yeesh.... the a/v was great, no sync problems as
usual...
i think this episode was designed to showcase the dell computers that they
use... was it me or was every shot taken making sure that the dell logo was in
focus... i guess the show wants the new xps line for next season!
i am not opposed to filler episodes or episodes that advance larger story lines
but they do have to be consistent within a larger framework and i felt the last
few episodes weren't up to their usual standards... even if every episode isnt
laden with special effects (expensive $$) ... that is okay but i expect more
from the writers since they have shown that their characters arent as
unidimensional as they seem lately...
