This episode came out after the the end of SG1. I found the premise to be a silly way to get rid of Tori Higginson, who plays Dr. Weir. The 1st act is (again) quite silly, although it gets better. Next, the writers make way for Amanda Tapping (who plays Colonel Samantha Carter) the next leader of SGA. It's too bad the writers couldn't have come up with a better way to make this transition. However, the bottom line is this is the end of Torri Higginson on SGA.
