Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

It could also be that, with the fact they are just finishing filming season one atm, she may have had the baby by the time they start filming for a second season....

Its been said that TJ has a secret past with one of the crew/civilians. Could be a brief liaison with them when she knew she was leaving to go to uni, but its become the classic "it only takes once to happen". That'd be a good way to keep her in.

seems to me like the scholarship idea was an excuse for something else. Being lost in the midst of the universe, and preggers would be messed up for sure, and a good reason to get out of the SGC for a while.

Julie Benson tweets about last weeks show

In the last two days I have started a blog and joined the world of Twitter! All year people have been trying to get me to -"start a blog, join twitter, get a facebook fanpage or a website" and all year I have resisted...and now after Stargate Universe's episode "Darkness" aired on Friday night, I find myself with something to say. Something that people may or may not want to read. As an actor, Stargate Universe has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. The producers have created the best atmosphere! I love going to work. I love the character I get to play, I love the people I get to act with, and I love the crew. I am now introduced to the fans. What an amazing franchise that so many people out there are so passionate about our show. It is a gift to be involved in something that people have opinions about. As an actor it is an honor for people to have opinions about you. Better that then nothing at all, right? I play 2nd Lt. Vanessa James and for all the talk about my natural (and believe me they are 100%) assets I promise you that there is much more to my character. Who knew that a tank top could cause such a stir. LOL!! Our show is about people and people have sexuality. The creators are not exploiting it, they are exploring it. That is what writers, actors and directors do. I thank all of you for your kind words and excitement about the show- it is thrilling to be in this world and I hope that you continue to enjoy SGU as the season goes on. You will get to see all of the characters grow! Aaaah first blog done! Thanks for reading...I promise to post again soon.

and a quick google search will tell you she's done nudity

 

[Dr Lee]

that'll be something to check out later....

 

[TheComicbookKid]

That post is all kinds of adorable, but I still have the sinking feeling that the writers aren't all that capable of exploring the complexities of sexuality in this story other than clumsily. The fact that they would even have a scene like that before we were properly introduced to the character is worrying.

oh were you saying something??

Looks like we were right about Destiny recharging its batteries.

I thought this episode was an interesting take on the 'fated to die' type of episode. I really liked how, instead of letting the guy who refuses to be excluded start up a riot, Greer just put his ass down.

I thought the dignity everyone left on Destiny showed was refreshing to what we often see with these types of episodes. And the survivor's guilt of those on the shuttle was good to see as well. No one wanted to be excluded during the lottery, and yet when each of their names were called, it's almost like they didn't want to go.

But the ending when Young realizees that Rush may have known that the Destiny was going to be fine. I don't think Rush knew, at least not for certain. But I think Rush has pretty much put his life in Destiny's hands. I think that he trusts Destiny knows what's it's doing so much, that he's fine with letting the others go on with their supplies. Convinced that Destiny will provide them with a planet that will give them all that they need. And if Destiny is destroyed, he's fine with going down with it.

Until the big bads start showing up, I think the crew is probably best served by letting Destiny do whatever the hell it wants. And even when the bad guys finally do show up, Destiny will still probably know how to best deal with them.

 

[Superfreak]

the ship's name really generates a lot of deep cliches. 'Rush has pretty much put his life in Destiny's hands', 'Destiny will still probably know best how to deal with them', 'The planet has changed Destiny's course' ... ... etc. It's kind of funny

 

[Gilpesh]

So. Hopefully they don't try and continue the stupid love triangle after that horrible moment of jumping in the sack in seconds.

 

[wiegeabo]

I gathered they started seeing each other after he got back from the desert planet (she confided in him after her dad died, and he confided in her after getting back). Still has only been a day or two, but I get the feeling that was the first time they hooked up. And they probably rushed things because they thought they were going to die.

 

[Gilpesh]

Seeing each other? Hah. They pretty much just turned around after hearing the news and ****ed. There's no dating in between that moment and the forced 'moment' after the desert planet.

 

[wiegeabo]

Meh. They're two lonely, ****ed up people, in a ****ed up situation, that made a ****ed up connection, and decided to ****.

Actually sounds like something real people would probably do if they really thought they were going to die.

 

[Gilpesh]

Eh. They're mediocre characters that need to cause drama on the show to make people watch.

 

[Superfreak]

An otherwise good episode brought down by manufactured melodrama

I figure Rush either knew or heavily suspected it. If he didn't even suspect it then I'll be kind of annoyed seeing as how I (and others online, including in this thread) figured it out almost instantly. If Rush is as smart as he's supposed to be... he should have at least suspected it.

im still trying to find a reason to get into this show....just seems like its missing something

I agree. It was rushed and forced.

Overall, I enjoyed the ep. Some very breathtaking visuals. I so wanted someone to say that the ship was solar powered like Superman! t:

Great sun visual. Weird they just left that soldier unconscious on the floor. Give him a pillow or something.lol

Chloe is ticking me off. I don't have a problem with the idea of the useless person finding purpose, but come on. "I've never felt closer to anyone in my life"? I'm guessing she'll soon find out he's banging Lt. James and go running back to Eli for a should and get the cold shoulder. And Ming-Na's first lines involve backing down in the face of Death. And the Captain just lets one of his soldiers clobber another? All the female characters seem to be growing from weakness while the guys get varied struggles.

Damn right Young just let Greer knock that guy on his ass. The last thing they needed was him inciting a riot. If nothing else, Young gave an order, the soldier was breaking it. I was very satisfied with they way they took him down. Usually in these situations, the guy who says "We can't let them do this to us!" ends up making things worse.

He's lucky he wasn't shot on the spot....and you want to give him a pillow?

Agreed. They are in a severely dangerous situation, technically at war, technically out of touch with the pentagon.....Colonel Young is in command....he had a soldier disobeying a direct order and insighting mutiny that endangered the lives of the people around him....Young would be justified in executing him.

Eh. They're mediocre characters that need to cause drama on the show to make people watch.

War time flings are nothing new (not the same thing, but close enough). They feel close to each other because the world feels like it's coming down around them. It's pretty much all physical attraction mixed in with a little adrenaline, despair, and one thing in common (dead parents).

As time goes on, and the crews starts adapting to life on Destiny, they'll probably find they have nothing in common. We'll just have to see which direction the writers are taking it.


On a completely different note, is Peter DeLuise directing every episode of this series?
