I must say...this episode had me rolling my eyes bigtime.
What's her name's dialogue was unnecessarily sexual and designed around making her look cool without really doing anything that cool, and apparently Prometheus's brig is as pathetically easy to break out of as Voyager's.
If they wanted to have her escape, they should have at least showed us how she escaped. I hate it when characters do stuff offscreen, the only explanation given to us being 'she's just that cool'.
I also want to know how she managed to lock out a completely foreign computer system. They should have given an explanation like "This ship was designed partially based on gu'ald technology, and she had the knowledge of the gu'ald". Another thing I guess we're supposed to accept simply on the grounds that 'she's just that cool', but that happened so often in this episode that every part of the plot seemed totally arbitrary.
Stargate often tries to sell us a character's personality -- but in this episode, it was way too hard a sell.
