I thought the ep was quite good for the 2nd in a 2 part...right up until the very end. Do so many series really have to so blatantly & artificially force/create a 'cliffhanger' at the end of every season ffs? 2 points taken off for that. Look at True Blood for a great example of how to wind up a (2nd) season & yet still leave the viewer aching for more.
Other than that...
The good: the time Eli & Chloe spend together, more Rhona in leather chaps & some of the tension/racing against time.
The bad: the aforementioned ending, minor plot holes & ongoing lack of comic relief, what made SG1 & Atlantis so great imo.
The show needs to drop its attempts to copy the 'realism' of BSG & find its own way/niche into the 2nd season. I, for one, have had enough sci-fi despair, darkness & hopelessness without any comic relief after BSG to last me a decade.
