MARINE (over radio): Colonel, they're on the ground. They're all around us!
(Sheppard raises his gun as a fighter flies overhead, then looks around him.)
SHEPPARD: Teyla?
(Seeing movement behind him, he spins and fires at a ghost-like apparition. Then, from another direction, Teyla appears, walking right through another apparition.)
TEYLA: They're not really there. (Sheppard stares at her in amazement.) Do not trust your eyes. The Wraith can make you see things that are not there. We must hurry.
(They run off.)
VILLAGE. The Wraith ships continue to fire on the village. Sumner and his men are firing both into the air and at the ghostly apparitions.
SHEPPARD (over radio): Colonel, this is Sheppard. What you see on the ground is just an illusion. Concentrate on firing on the ships.
SUMNER (shouting to his men): Fire on the ships! Fire on the ships! (He runs to Sergeant Bates who is transfixed by the sight of the apparitions. Sumner grabs him.) Bates, snap out of it.
BATES: They're everywhere, sir!

There are still 3 new episodes left and I object to having to wait a week between paid-subscription episodes.
3 left so there are 6 available right now

(from internet transcript)
excerpts, Chapter 35
With something like horror, Larry noticed for the first time that she was wearing expensive open-toed sandals, probably in the eighty-dollar range, just the thing for a four-block stroll along Fifth Avenue while window-shopping, but for a long walk—a hike, really—like the one they hart been making…
The ankle-straps had chafed through her skin. Blood was trickling down her ankles.
“Larry, I’m s—”
He jerked her abruptly to her feet. “What were you thinking about?” he shouted into her face. He felt a moment’s shame at the miserable way she recoiled, but also a mean sort of pleasure. “Did you think you could cab back to your apartment if your feet got tired?”
“I never thought—”
“Well, Christ!” He ran his hands through his hair. “I guess you didn’t. You’re bleeding, Rita. How long has it been hurting?”
Her voice was so low and husky that he had trouble hearing her even in the preternatural silence. “Since… well, since about Fifth and Forty-ninth, I guess.”
“Your feet have been hurting you for twenty fucking blocks and you didn’t say anything? ”
“I thought… it might… go away… not hurt anymore… I didn’t want to… we were making such good time… getting out of the city… I just thought…”
“You didn’t think at all,” he said angrily. “How much good time are we going to make with you like this? Your fucking feet look like you got fucking crucified.”
“Don’t swear at me, Larry,” she said, beginning to sob. “Please don’t… it makes me feel so bad when you… please don’t swear at me.”
He was in an ecstasy of rage now, and later he would not be able to understand why the sight of her bleeding feet had blown all his circuits that way. For the moment it didn’t matter. He screamed into her face: “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! ” The word echoed back from the high-rise apartment buildings, dim and meaningless.
She put her hands over her face and leaned forward, crying. It made him even angrier, and he supposed that part of it was that she really didn’t want to see: she would just as soon put her hands over her face and let him lead her, why not, there had always been someone around to take good care of Our Heroine, Little Rita. Someone to drive the car, do the marketing, wash out the toilet bowl, do the taxes. So let’s put on some of that gagging-sweet Debussy and put our well-manicured hands over our eyes and leave it all up to Larry. Take care of me, Larry, after seeing what happened to the monster-shouter, I’ve decided I don’t want to see anymore. It’s all rawther sordid for one of my breeding and background.
He yanked her hands away. She cringed and tried to put them over her eyes again.
“Look at me.”
She shook her head.
“Goddammit, you look at me, Rita.”
She finally did in a strange, flinching way, as if thinking he would now go to work on her with his fists as well as his tongue. The way a part of him felt now, that would be just fine.
“I want to tell you the facts of life because you don’t seem to understand them. The fact is, we may have to walk another twenty or thirty miles. The fact is, if you get infected from those scrapes, you could get blood poisoning and die. The fact is, you’ve got to get your thumb out of your ass and start helping me.”
He had been holding her by the upper arms, and he saw that his thumbs had almost disappeared into her flesh. His anger broke when he saw the red marks that appeared when he let her go. He stepped away, feeling uncertain again, knowing with sick certainty that he had overreacted. Larry Underwood strikes again. If he was so goddam smart, why hadn’t he checked out her footgear before they started out?

The Trojan War was directed by hallucinations. And the soldiers who were so directed were not at all like us. They were noble automatons who knew not what they did.
