Summary:
What an episode. It's touching (I guess), heartwarming (sort of), and an overall nice episode (if you say so). But best of all, it has floating bubbles.
But these are not just ordinary bubbles, oh no. They're SPECIAL bubbles. Yes indeed. These are the elements (For the uninformed amongst us, the elements are those big balls with the little balls spinning around it). The writers inform us that, yes, *chemistry* is the universal language, not mathematics (thank God, because if a little alien came down from the magical land of Neleh and started talking to me in the form of paragraph proofs I can safely say that I would take matters into my own hands and end all possible diplomatic relations with the aliens right then and there and claim nuclear war). Chemistry. Well, that's nice. So basically anyone who didn't pay attention to that high school chemistry class is pretty much screwed, aren't they? Yet another subliminal moral pumped into our minds by the writers. But that's okay. Morals are nice (although they sort of get in the way when attempting to maim, mutilate, and kill ). Although I think that the SGC is certainly going to have a fun time attempting to decipher all this stuff.
There's also somewhat of a love story involved with this episode. I don't mind love stories. They're fine, really. But the truth is I don't think love of any kind can really sustain if you haven't seen the person for 50 years! I'm obviously no expert of the matter of true love, but come on you guys. I half expected to have Ernest say "Katherine? Katherine...Katherine...oh *Katherine*! Right. Yeah. Katherine. I forgot about her a *long* time ago. However, I would like you all to meet Corey. Say 'Hi' Corey. You may say that Corey isn't real. But I know she is. She's invisible. She just doesn't want you to see her right now". Or something to that effect.
But, like I said, this story was good. I liked it. I did. And that's all I have to say about that.
