This was a great episode, though the first time I watched it the flashbacks were a bit confusing. I thought the acting was spot on. The introduction of the iratus bug and the suggestion that it was related to the wraith was an interesting point.

The beginning of this episode smacked strongly of the SG-1 episode where Teal'c got stung by that bug while they were offworld, in my opinion. But then they took the rest of it in a very different direction, which was great. I liked the peril of having the ship stuck and having such a short amount of time to get it unstuck. That being said, I find McKay an incredibly obnoxious character who I cannot empathize with at all. If there is anything about the series that I dislike at this point, it is him. Perhaps he will grow on me as I watch more??? I guess we will have to wait and see.

has anyone noticed that this episode breaks wormhole physics?
all matter comes through at the same relative times apart as they went in, and at the same speed/form--- the jumper doesn't stop on the way out, and the back door is closed, too!
HUGE mistake! what should've happened (With more details, of course):
Weir: Why aren't they all the way through?
Guy in front(forgot his name): WTH is going on????
some scientist: The jumper was stuck in the gate.
G.I.F.: What do you mean WAS?!?!???
Scientist: Well, you didn't come through untill the gate received the rest of the jumper...
(spends about 25 mins explaining)
*Taylor and sheppard arrive*
Taylor: Get us out! Sheppard's DEAD right now!
team starts cutting through.
Rodney pops out.
Remainder of Jumper comes out while team's still cutting, leaving a HUGE scratch along the side.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Lose it. It means go crazy, nuts, bonzo, no longer in possession of one's faculties, 3 fries short of a happy meal, WACKO!!!"
"You blow one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water."
"Ba'al, you should know. Of course I dare mock you."
"I'm going crazy, and I'm taking you with me."
"Woman? Did he just call me a woman?"
"Didn't I order you to get a life?"
"There's no such thing as magic." *gets beamed out* "Man, my timing is off today."

An alright ep.
First mention of the connection between Iratus bugs and Wraith.
Dr. Kavanagh is the biggest douch. Way worse than Woolsey.
I'm looking forward to the hilarious friendship between McKay and Zelenka.
It was an interesting concept having the Puddle Jumper stuck in the gate. But I don't think it turned out as great as it could have. And I think it got on some peoples nerves regarding wormhole physics.
I can't help but think of Todd the Wraith or John Druitt whenever I see Christopher Heyerdahl.sigpic
