Grace

Watched the latest Stargate SG-1 episode Grace yesterday (minor spoilers follow, so avert your eyes if you don't want to know). It was one of those episodes that probably all sci-fi series do at least once: enemy attacks Prometheus and they escape to a nebula, Sam has an accident, looses consciousness and when she wakes up everyone on board has vanished.

So first though comes into your head - "oh, this is one of those alien experiment things where they have her in a lab and observe if human race is worthy enough". Then a little girl appears, so you think "oh, this is one of those episodes where an alien life form tries to communicate with her". Then different members of SG-1 start to appear and you think "oh, this is one of those inner-journey episodes where she finds out what she really wants in life".

The funny thing was, the episode pre-empted itself pretty well when Daniel and Teal'c start suggesting to Sam these different sci-fi clichés, the conspiracy theories about what might really be going on. In the end it probably ends up being a bit of everything, although the ending kind of suggests that we haven't seen the last of Grace.

And mark my words, Carter and O'Neill will finally end up together this season.
