The theme of parallel dimensions has been around in science fiction shows forever, but this episode just took it a step further. “There, but for the Grace of God” is, simply put, a time bomb just waiting to explode. The writers managed to twist every bit of information we know thus far about the Stargate and just toss it into our lap in a whole new package. What really made this episode so epic is the ongoing invasion on Earth, which took the show into a completely new setting. For the duration of these forty minutes, you sense hopelessness and dread because of the Gou’ald onslaught, as if this very episode was a culmination of all the previous ones in this season.

You can feel the tension and desperation of members of SGC as they try to shed a positive light on the program, while at the same time you see the Senator who from the very beginning seems to have made up his mind completely. Despite SG-1 and Hammond also sensing this, their willpower to convince him is unbreakable. The viewer as well, while seeing that this whole event will turn out bad, also clings to a straw of hope even as Jackson desperately tries to persuade the Senator.

This was a complete blast to watch. Everything cooking up throughout the whole season has reached its climax in this episode. You get to see the global story being slowly revealed with a lot of twists and various elements. It is packed with action, investigation, strong emotional subjects and hard decisions, literally everything you need to make this finale a grand one. Aside of the realization that the invasion has begun, the most important part of the story is definitely the appearance of Klorel, a huge load of salt on already wounded antagonists.
