I have read through a lot of the threads and nobody else seemed to make this connection. While yes it did have a "Quantum Leap" feel to it, I honestly felt this was more of an "Event Horizon" feel.
Quantum Leap has a guy jumping around through time more than jumping through AU trying to fix a wrong or something.
It also has a slight "Sliders" feel, but that is because they are jumping from different AUs, (which according to "Sliders" Mckay's explanation of staying in the same spot is wrong).
Where I get the whole "Event Horizon" feel is from this...
A ship appears out of nowhere, and is all but abandon. I honestly was expecting to see them step into a room and see Sam Neil burst into flames.
Idk, this episode had a really creepy feel to it that reminded me of "Event Horizon." And along the same lines have a log entry with Mckay saying something like "I created the AUD to reach the stars, but she's gone much, much farther than that. She tore a hole in our universe, a gateway to another dimension. A dimension of pure chaos. Pure... evil. When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was alive!"
However, I will say when they were approaching the landing bay and saw the other jumper, my first thought was the Star Trek:TNG episode that had the an identical NCC-1071-D. The one episode that had Riker, Worf, and I think Data on an away team exploring it. (IIRC). And I will also admit that i did also thing of the Borg too with the bad guys and blinking lights.
Also did the tptb forget about something they established in SG1? No two of the same person can be in the same AU. In Point of View they established with the two Sams, that the one from an AU will suffer from a Entropic Cascade Failure. With the increasingly more episodes dealing with AUs shouldn't they keep that in mind? Just saying...
