Dr McKay and a female co-worker share the same body after an accident.
This episode came as a welcome surprise and it almost seemed like a tribute to classic Star Trek's Turnabout Intruder (1969), where Captain Kirk was also taken over by a female.
I guess you could say there was a bit of hammy acting but I think the main point is that Stargate Atlantis was trying to inject some welcome variety into the show's premise and not be deadly serious every week. I think having a silly episode like this every ten episodes or so would be great for the series as a whole.
I would rather have the odd silly episode than go the way of Deep Space Nine (1993) and have the regular characters all fall in love with eachother (PS: that is a guy's view of things).
