This episode is great because it combines elements of the Fly (remember Jeff Goldblum's character initially getting stronger because of fly DNA) and Alien (facehugger type creatures emerging from eggs).
The make up team did a good job here too. Colonel Sheppard looks great as he goes through his transformation, and I thought Joe Flanigan did a great job portraying how Sheppard's mind and personality was changing too.
Another element I liked is that it's apparent again in this episode that Ronan is the only one with a sensible hi-tech gun. His "blaster" seems to have stun and kill settings that actually work. The other new guns in Atlantis, the Wraith stunner guns, are reminding me more and more of the Goa'uld staff weapons, in that they are mostly rubbish and they wouldn't be anyone's first choice.
