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.
