    Deja Vu

    A nod to Event Horizon plot elements. And that movie too was a gravely under appreciated sci-fi horror work.

    Phew..

    Hey, in the last months I read some reviews and comments of people who dislike the series. And their only reason to dislike it was or still is the cancelling of Stargate Atlantis. "Atlantis" was great, no doubt about it, but.. after seeing this episode I once more realised how much I personally enjoy SGU. (If you are reading this I most likely don't have to tell you how good the series is.) And it made me finally write something which is probably the biggest compliment I can give.

    So about this particular episode.. being someone who has seen every episode so far I must say that it is some sort of a highlight. There is not that much revealed in here (hardly anything to be honest), it is more about what people have been through so far and in this case it is not a bad thing. It even made me feel more connected to the characters. The writing, directing and acting is ingenious (in my opinion), in this episode even more than ever before.

    The series definitely had a pretty rough start (probably because it is not like SG1 or Atlantis), but if you managed to keep watching you most likely won't regret it.. at least I don't.

    Cheers and enjoy, David
