Commentary by:

Peter F. Woeste — Director

Will Waring — Camera Operator
Mark Davidson — Set Decorator

The commentary is informative and interesting.   It begins after the “previously on” segment.  The commentary stays on point with what is on screen.

Review:  

Carter is on board the Prometheus (”Memento”).  Rather than a naquadria drive, the ship is using a hyperspace drive from an Al’keesh — a type of Goa’uld space ship.  The Al’keesh hyperspace drive needs to cool down after a couple of hours of use, and the Prometheus drops out of hyperspace to allow it to do so.  Shortly after exiting hyperspace the Prometheus is attacked by an alien ship of an unknown design.  Sam is knocked unconscious during the attack.  After awakening, she discovers the rest of the crew is no where to be found.

Alone on the ship, Carter has several months of supplies.  But, she discovers that the ship is slowly being destroyed from the outside inward by corrosion.  And, she is having hallucinations.  Sam must try to keep the ship viable and herself alive, while working on a mystery and awaiting a hoped for rescue by SGC.

Amanda Tapping provides an excellent performance.

Failures:

There is a mystery that is never explained.
