This was a pretty cute one-off episode. What struck me most was the woman in Rodney's country. I thought I recognized her, so checked IMDB and, sure enough, she was Marie Warner, the most adorable tow-headed terrorist sympathizer from season 2 of 24 :)

As a stand alone episode i thought it was allright, it had some good bits in their between sheppard and mckay, the citris fuit incident cracked me up, and zalenda and loune were pretty funny too, overall it was a good episode

I didn't like this episode that much, I found it relatively boring and uninteresting.

I thought it was pretty damn good episode. I wish games were as detailed as that:P. The comedy was great and I saw that Zelenka was suffering from "one more turn" syndrome when asked by Weir to stop messing with the computer :P.

the lantians really should have put more warning signs around the city.  i mean a simple sign saying 'this game affects real people on so-and-so planet'.  is that too much to ask??

I liked the end of this episode when they tricked everyone, but in general I didn't like this episode that much, I thought most of it was pretty boring.  I think the idea was good, but this episode could of been way better IMO.

voted 'ok' again.  pretty smart tricking everyone.  ronon's expression towards mckay was like 'what the heck are you doin?'

ronon and teyla again were kindof left out of the inside jokes early on and were of course side characters to shepherd and mckay since it was their countries as war.

I loved this episode, I liked it over SG-1's tonight.
I loved how Mckay and Shepherd were always fighting, and Shepherd finding out that Mckay's side was going after his coal, Shepherd only sending over boxes of citrus. All that was priceless. Sure it wasn't as good as last weeks ep, but I liked it well enough to give it an awesome.

The blode leader woman is from Dead Like Me which was pretty cool.  It was also funny when Zalenka and the other guy decided to help out a village and then they started fighting and probably would have went to war lol.

She was also a terrorist sympathizer in season 2 of 24 :) 24 and SG-1 must use the same casting office.

Well a guy that writes and directs stuff for 24 also did it for SG-1 back in season 3 and 4.  Brad Turner I think.

I've had many occasions of "Hey, Curtis Manning used to command an SG team" and "Why is Omoc conspiring against President Palmer?" or "When did Netan become a CTU agent?" (to say nothing of "When did Martouf become a CTU agent?") moments. It's always fun to spot SG-1 folks in other locales. I partcularly enjoyed Carmen Argenziano (Selmak) and Tony Amendola (Bra'tac) on the West Wing :)
