I didn't think the AI's change of mind was inexplicable. It was testing Sheppard as the head of the military to see if he was going to be a problem when confronted with the pod full of new alien race. It didn't know Sheppard's psyche was going to jump in with the torture, and the AI finally put a stop to it when Sheppard was about to really die (the hanging off the cliff was real).
I am disappointed that Mallozzi threw away the show's last chance to explore Sheppard's psyche and tell us why Sheppard is so hard on himself.
I was just over at Mallozzi's blog watching him lambaste the fans for jumping to conclusions about SGU. I was thiiiiis close to saying, "Dude, we're just reacting to (a) what you yourself have told us, and (b) your writing staff's track record over the course of five seasons of SG-1 and five seasons of SGA. If you couldn't manage any meaningful character development on those shows, why should we have faith you can do it on SGU?"
