I'm not a person given to a lot of meta, but anytime I see a situation in which a person (usually a man in sci-fi TV) uses magic or chemicals or an ancient device to make a woman fall in love with him/sleep with him, it smacks of rape to me. It's just magical roofies. In the SGA version (the Richard Kind ep where he takes an herb that makes him attractive) and the previous SPN one (where what's-his-name uses his mind control) the writers don't seem to deal with the rape aspect at all. I think this episode will make me more than a little uncomfortable.
