Quarantine was one of those very well-written episodes where there's no "bad guy." Atlantis malfunctioned and trapped everyone in whatever room they were in at the time. What made the episode interesting was the combinations of characters trapped in each room and the awkward situations. McKay was trapped with his girlfriend, Katie and was about to propose to her before the lockdown. Carter & Zelenka were trapped in an elevator. Sheppard and Teyla were trapped in the computer room and had some time to resolve their difference of opinion about Teyla's pregnancy. There couldn't have been a stranger combination of Ronin & Dr. Keller trapped together. So it was a nice bonding experience between some unlike characters. I'm glad the Stargate series builds on things like this. It's more realistic as opposed to battling aliens in every episode.
