That episode sucked for me on many levels, because I actually like Keller, or like her when she's written a certain way (which seems to happen less and less now, but the way she was in the beginning - shy and geeky yet smart and with some hints of hidden snark) and this epi kind of trashed both characters, for me. So, I decided that actually, this was the return of the mist beings, only now they're teamed up with the sentient nightmare-inducing crystal, and someone(s) were having a particularly sucky nightmare. The kind of where you even know on some level that it is just a dream, but you cannot wake up and begin to fear that you'll remain trapped in it. It's the only way I can reconcile that with the rest of the SGA, because IMO, the characterisation was really crappy, for both Rodney and Keller (I know Keller has been all over the spectrum, 'cause the TPTB just think *drool* when they look at Jewel - not that I can blame them a lot for that-, but Rodney - it was as if there had been none of the past five years. WTF??)
