I watched it again today, and it was actually lots of fun. A bit talky, but the character interaction is still there, even if they are "copies" - their feelings and actions are still them. The trust, the way they turn to each other when things get totally weird, the support and determination to get away, do some good... yeah. It's them. ♥

I'm really hoping you're right, and the writers do have more up their sleeve! I thought it was definitely set up like that - reminded me of the way Kolya gets shot and falls through the gate, it's... very open-ended, in a way. Especially since none of the others stir when the Asurans board the jumper - but then Sheppard looks up and he's all healed already! So are we really supposed to believe that Ronon was completely knocked out by that blow to the head, despite his nanite-induced super powers? And Teyla? Yeah... I think it's much more likely that they were just waiting until all the Replicators were gathered together in a tight space, and then - bam! Our team + Elizabeth + super powers? They could take them, and kick their little nanite butts! ♥

...I want next episode now! *g*
