Homage or hack job? Either way, well executed.

Pulled the title directly from a movie, recirculated a lot of the complicated cultural exchanges from the earlier Unas plot lines. All that being said, Enemy Mine delivered a thought-provoking tale of a larger scale. Reminded me a lot of the allegories of TNG and came to an end with a satisfying plot twist. This episode betrays Hammond's thoughtful and sympathetic side a bit and puts him in a place of "just following orders", but moves on pretty quickly. Love seeing Michael Rooker make an appearance, albeit a role that is way too "Rookeresque". This is a filler episode that doesn't feel like one, playing into the larger themes of the fight against the goa'uld.
