The big problem I had with this episode (and as I pointed in out in my own brief review) is that this was once again a retread of an SG-1 plot, and it wasn't a very good retread. We have the duplicates who believe they are real, and self-sacrifice at the end. But Tin Man and Double Jeopardy were much better episodes, IMO.
About the only thing I got any real pleasure out of was the McKay on McKay action *cough*, that is, Rodney talking to himself *g*, Ronon being distrustful of the duplicates including himself, and the Rodney/Radek scene in the end. Also the fact that for once the M&Ms didn't seem to commit any tech canon errors. I had a really hard time believing that Team Sheppard would trust the replicators so immediately just because they said they were good guys and because they were feeling all warm and fuzzy seeing Elizabeth again.
The ending, as you said, was not a very good cliffhanger.
I gave the episode a 'C' because it was average at best. I wish Mallozzi & Mullie wouldn't write episodes for the show. I really, really do.
