The episode was good, but it could have been better. I loved that they introduced another alien species. Hopefully they will learn how to speak English and will become a major antagonist, or ally. Part of SGU's problem is that, lacking a major antagonist or inhabited planets with Stargates, there's nothing for our heroes to do except stay on that "boring old ship" as one commenter put it. Or worse, use those damned communications stones.
On the downside, they seem to be falling back into the daytime soap pacing that killed season 1.0 (evident in the pilot, which would have been too long if it were only a two-parter). C'mon, how long can Rush keep the damned bridge a secret? That really needs to be resolved in the next episode before it a) starts to piss us off and b) starts beggaring credulity that he doesn't get followed, or that someone doesn't try to enter on their own. And the sooner the how gets some real direction, the better, as it must when the whole crew knows about, and is manning, the bridge.
