Stargate SG-1: Ascension (2001)
Season 5, Episode 3
5/10
Worst Episode So Far

Warning: Spoilers
What a weird, pointless, and boring episode. "Ascended" alien stalks Carter and fails to comprehend how wrong that is in human culture. I have no clue why an "ascended" being would be so careless. Considering the alien's desire to look human and act human, you'd think it would try to find the least creepy approach to interacting with Carter, and yet it does the exact opposite. Then Carter starts to like the alien because the writers said so I guess.

Also, I'm getting kinda tired of these episodes that offer humanity a way to defend itself and then immediately take that technology away. I understand that the show's going down the "with great power comes great responsibility" route, but it's getting repetitive. And when there's nothing else to make the episode interesting other than stalker alien love story, it really is just a pointless retread of a concept we've already seen in the show countless times.
