The romance between Ariana and Rem was quite charming (Mariette Hartley tended to specialize in one-off characters the audience fell in love with) and after forgetting about him for a good 5 episodes or so it was good to see Francis back. I think it was one of the stronger episodes, even with the clips.

Of course, those shows, especially SG-1, have become so self-referential, it's almost necessary to do those catch-up programs.
