[edit] Buffy Similarities

This episode is nearly identical to Normal_Again_(Buffy_episode). Comments anyone?


(Agreed!)

I noticed that from the preview! The only difference I see is that in "Normal Again" the viewer is left to question which reality is the truth, and which is the delusion; in "The Real World" it basically resolves that Atlantis is reality.
There are also other shows which have had identical episodes, I haven't seen them all, but I read their summaries, and they're pretty much the same. They've been posted.

[edit] Silent Hill similarities

Or was it my imagination? Like the music (particularily in the first scene), disturbing imagery (like when she's talking to O'Neill) and the general hopeless asylum feeling.

[edit] Why Sheppard was not infected

Why Sheppard was not infected: They imply that the nanites failed to attack him because they were focusing on Weir. But IIRC, last episode we learned that they cannot attack the Ancients, and Sheppard is an ancient as far as genetic is concerned, because the ATA gene is what is always used to distinguish genetically between ancients and non-Ancients.
