Goofs:

Continuity: (at around 46 mins) Teal'c maneuvers the MALP into the barrier dome where the joystick on the MALP ends up not visible because it's outside the edge of the dome. The next shot where O'Neill says "nice", clearly shows the joystick. The subsequent shot of O'Neill and Teal'c has the joystick back outside the dome.

End Title

It's a smaller and smaller world

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

A very good episode with a rather original plot... not that its main elements are new: actually, it's their odd combination that makes it interesting. This new world is a perfect garden set in a toxic wasteland, and it is so advanced that it has gone back to using candlelight instead of electricity.

The episode is nicely paced, taking a lot of time to introduce this world and its people while slowly revealing the main plot. And I like it that for once, the manipulative super-computer has NOT developed an evil self-awareness. It is not trying to destroy the world but, in a way, to save what it can of it --and unobtrusively at that: subtly adapting "data" to match the current situation... except that the "data" in question is actually thousands of human lives.

So, while there is nothing boring about it, "Revisions" contains a lot more reflection than action, but this makes it even more chilling when you consider the points it makes regarding the destruction (or control) of the environment, as well as our use (and abuse) of the Internet.
