I like the introduction of a new unknown alien species. One that is super intelligent and super powerful. It would have been better if these alien beings were encountered again in other episodes where we could learn more about them. When it comes to episodes that don't advance the plot very much, this is good example of how to create a decent filler episode. Stories like this should've been incorporated into those episodes where so much time is wasted on the crew's personal lives on Earth. I've said it multiple times that SGU could've been way better. If they had "wasted" more time with better stories like the one in this episode then maybe this show would have had higher ratings.
