While I didn't dislike the episode, I think too much time had passed between the girls dying and their consciousnesses showing up to be believable. I liked the storyline involving Greer. He's finally getting the respect he deserves from some of the civilians.
Greer has always been my second favorite character on SGU. The first has to be Rush. I attribute Eli's and Rush's girlfriends appearing now rather than earlier due to either Chloe doing some weird alien thing or extended problems due to the Communication Stones not working properly. Had a scientist hack the communication program and might have messed up a few things like activate the emergency preservation device or something like that.
When Gin first appeared, I thought it would be another "Lets mess with Eli" episode as in have a dead girlfriend appear, then get rid of her at the end of the episode.

I was happy with the episode. There is no telling how the communication stones really work so it's perfectly reasonable that the two would appear the first time that the stones were unable to communicate with each other.
On the other hand I didn't like the Greer subplot. I mean I did like it but it moved too slowly in some parts, too quickly in others and didn't really seem to have a reason to be there. I suspect that the writers came up with the River Song story idea but couldn't come up with a way to fill out the entire episode so they came up with a subplot that would neither hinder nor advance the primary story arc.

Eli and Gin appear to be highly intellectual people so while not being able to touch is a major inconvience, they can still have a decent relationship. Being able to talk and see your dead girlfriend is better than meeting your dead girlfriend and having her die again. Besides it is only "temporary" so they believe it to be fixed soon.

Uh, huh.
Thats why I put temporary in quotes. Although it would be cruel, I would think it funny if when Rush is 60 that he finally solves the problem. Chances are that they will meet the all-powerful aliens that were referenced early in the season that fixes everything in the Series Finale.

I hope it works out but judging from what the writers have done in the past I have my worries.

The biggest problem to a resolution is that the series was completely finished filming for the season when they heard they were canceled. And I haven't heard of any reshoots for the final episode. So if they weren't planning on wrapping up that plot line by the end of this season then it's not getting wrapped up.

I heard that if the show is in jeopardy, then they make the season finale to be able to fill in as the series finale. Quite a few of SG-1's season finale could have ended up as Series Finale since they weren't cliffhangers. Of course, not all shows follow this policy.

Okay so I finally watched it yesterday (Sat.) and, like others, thought it was a good/decent episode.
Anyone think there will be any repercussion on Greer: ie. getting an infection; of course it will be an 'alien' type of infection and he could die but then somehow he gets cured.....*shrugs* could happen and I wouldn't be surprised.
I like Greer about the most in the show so hopefully nothing happens to him.
Also never knew that the one scientist guy (who had to have the surgery), was 'with' that other girl (forgot name).

I think that was an eyebrow raiser for some of them on the ship as well. Anyways, bound to happen, it's been 6 months and there are more the standard four women that always have lines on board.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Two dead girlfriends come back to life in this episode. Has to have one of the creepiest and happiest endings for an episode that I have seen. Unfortunately, the communication stones are back in business and Telford is back.
