I've been really enjoying SG-1 from the very beginning, so I really don't want to write a bad review. But, this episode is just daft. It starts off well, you immediately think: Predator! However, there are several bits in the second half that destroy those thoughts of Arnold Schwarzenegger fighting a smart and deadly alien.
Firstly, at one point Mitchell captures a man who has been using a cloaking device. This has nothing to do with the rest of the story, and it seems completely out of place. Then, the conclusion to the episode feels very rushed, and it doesn't really make any sense, for lots of reasons. Also, where is doctor Lam? We haven't seen her for quite a few episodes, and now the SGC appears to have a new doctor without any warning or introduction. That is annoying.
Vala is the only positive in this episode, she is like a breath of fresh air. I hope the show can develop a good relationship between her and Sam. They are vey much like chalk and cheese in this episode. Hopefully, the writers will soften things a little and get everyone to work together more smoothly.
