not bad but been there, seen it

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

It was not a bad episode, but it felt like I was watching a remake of a season 5 of stargate sg-1 story where Sam is kidnapped to help a millionair get better and heal his sickness that is going to kill him. In the end, a Goauld was brought in that not only healed him, but took control over him and killed most of his people. Now here Jeanie Miller, the sister of Rodney is kidnapped by a man who wants her to rescue his daughter from a illness that is going to kill her, with the use of nano-technology. It's the same story being done with a different setting and different characters. Instead of a Goauld we have nanites. There is no subplot of a rogue NID helping the Goauld here, but we have a Wraith helping Rodney. I'm not going to give away to much here, but it is a episode that is slightly better. The interaction between Rodney and his sister is right on the nose. It's always fun to watch them on screen. It's just a shame that Elizabeth isn't on Atlantis anymore.
