wow.

i'm not going to post any spoilers here except to say that the beginning
of this episode is pretty strong stuff. i've followed cameras into many
alien vessels but this time it really FELT alien. done differently, this
could have been a really predictable story with all kinds of cliches
but this really held my attention and the resolution hit like a blow to
the back of the head. and i see now there are some real gems in the cast - 
i've really come to like max alot, i'm missing galen, and gideon is the most
expressive and likable captain i've seen in many a show.

i was trying to explain the whole uniform mess to the people assembled
to watch this episode but i wound up confusing myself. does anyone have
the whole story?

i'll be calling scifi today - if nothing else just to get them to watch
this episode.

The new uniforms are actually the old uniforms, made to look like new uniforms
in story so that we could later go back to the old uniforms (really the new
uniforms) and stay in those for the rest of the season.

If you can parse that sentence, you're a better grammarian than I am.
