This is one of my favorite episodes. SGA has always explored what it really means to be human. And I love how each of the regular characters has their own idea. Dr. Weir has always carried a heavy burden and throughout her years in charge has had to make difficult decisions. She eloquently and gracefully makes one more.
So many times in other TV Series we see characters change and often become completely different characters over time often to the detriment of the series. On the other hand I have always loved how the writers of this series has consistently and pervasively maintained the personalities of their characters. Rodney is always Rodney, Elizabeth is always Elizabeth, John is always John, etc. So it was refreshing to see how Elizabeth suddenly acting different under the circumstances, finally proves that she really is Dr. Elizabeth Weir.
