Colonel Mitchell stands falsely accused of murder -- but he remembers committing it, thanks to technology that grafts memories into someone else's mind. I didn't think I would like this episode as much as I did. I wasn't liking it at first with all the shaky camera movements of the memories. It felt more like a horror film that Stargate SG-1. However, I do like that we got to see some of Mitchell's pain.
************************************************** ****************
I didn't feel that the episode ended well, however. I felt more suspicious of the military commander or whatever he was. He seemed likely to commit the murder the night of the party, the way he watched Cameron and the woman go off and then how he immediately refused to let his men discover more deeply who committed the murder.
They said that the ex-husband implanted a memory of the one where he committed the murder so he could forget it. That mixed with the commander's quickness to dismiss the case altogether - I found it more likely that the commander committed the memory and then put a false memory in a false memory to really cover his tracks. So that if by chance Cameron insisted on retrieving the memory of who the culprit was, there would be another false memory to blame someone else.
That's how I felt about it anyway. I really don't think the ex-husband was the murderer. I think he was the scapegoat.
They also didn't end the episode with any information on where earth stood with trade negotiations and what not with that world.
I liked General Landry's little pep-talk in the locker room at the end though.
However, I'm tired of so much focus being placed on the new characters and not enough on the established ones.
I did notice that Sam called Cameron by his first name. Since they're the same rank I thought that this was good. But it's a weirder dynamic to have two colonel's on the team.
I want more of Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c.
