The exploration of our own humanity through the communication stones continues. With Destiny stranded between galaxies, they need to bring in Earth's top expert on the engines of the ancients. She turns out to be a quadraplegic...so for several days, Camille finds herself paralyzed on Earth, while a woman who hasn't been able to feed herself since she was a child, is inhabiting a perfectly healthy body. She returns to the closeness she shared with Rush while working together on Earth. A subtle powerhouse of emotions is explored...and scientifically, who's to say that some form of reality like this won't someday exist, even in our own lifetimes? On a lighter note, if you have sex while temporarily inhabiting someone else's body, and contract an STD...does Hallmark have an apology card which covers that?

Warning: Spoilers
One of my biggest gripes with this show has always been that there is way too much boring filler. The crew's personal lives on earth are not interesting enough to dedicate more than 1 minute maximum, yet there are so many scenes in this series about their boring lives on earth. There's just too much filler in this series. Beyond that, the aliens in pursuit of the destiny is interesting. I found the "Franklin's chair" angle a little convenient. I also found it funny how James tells TJ that she's a little claustrophobic but she sure didn't seem very claustrophobic in that closet in episode 1! Overall this episode was decent.
