The overall story of this episode is good. The Spencer character story arc was decent writing. I liked this aspect of the series that someone was having problems dealing with being on the ship and not getting along with anyone. These events, coupled with getting himself in trouble with the crew a couple times, culminating in his suicide was a good end to his character. This whole series was dark and depressing, in a good way, so it makes sense that some characters would be depressed and be unable to handle it.

The one thing I don't like about this episode, however, is Rush's actions after the suicide. For being such a smart guy he does really foolish, dumb things. I don't like how some members of the crew conspire against others, especially since they all have the same goal. And Rush being anti-Young because Young wants to get everyone off the ship and back home is a little ridiculous. Rush is a bit annoying and his character is inconsistent. He's so smart but so dumb.

Great episode!

It seems that die-hard Stargate fans hate this show because it violates the tone and feel of the original. I trudged through the entire Stargate catalog, and although there were definitely some great episodes buried in there, most of the series came across as being Sci-fi light with all of the space travel, evil monsters, and imaginary problems caused by imaginary technology and solved by even more unlikely and imaginary tech, it lacked the depth, social commentary, and transcendence that great fiction needs. Don't get me wrong, SG1 is great if you are looking for something to watch with your kids, something entertaining but superficial. In contrast, SGU seems to have copied the tone of Battlestar and the result is a darker, grittier, and more mature show than previous Stargate offerings, as evidenced by this episode.
