Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[wiegeabo]

That's who that was!

 

[LadyVader]

I had to think about it for a while, but I never forget a sci-fi cutie! The fact that all my favourite shows are shot in Vancouver does help.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I hate Chloe so much more after this episode.

 

[LadyVader]

You just hate her cause she's leading on the tubby guy.

 

[Gilpesh]

Yeah, it's not like anyone could hate on her because she's a horrible character that somehow infects other characters with horribleness.

 

[LadyVader]

Hey, I just said last page that I had a problem with her lack of maturity and foresight, but honestly, Chloe is just a symptom of a problem. Stargate writer just can't write a decent young girl I guess. They have no problem with Eli because they probably speak from experience. But I think they're trying to hard with Chloe. They just need to loosen up on the drama and think of something she can genuinely contribute to the group on the ship. Why doesn't she, for instance, help Tamara?

Tamara is the only physician on the ship, I'm sure she could use a nurse or an assistant. And I'm sure that Chloe is a better choice than Tom Paris was for The Doctor on Voyager.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That is part of it, I won't lie. But more than that, I hate her because she's a pathetic, possessive b****. She had this boyfriend back home, then she got stuck on Destiny and had both Eli and Scott eating out of her hand, then she chose Scott, then she got all jealous because her friend starting doin' it with her ex, then she kissed Eli, then she called Eli a "good friend." Those are the actions of a b****, especially in such rapid succession. I get that she's all vulnerable because her dad died, but Christ, woman, be an adult and rein it in a bit.

 

[Gilpesh]

BECAUSE CHLOE HAS REAL PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH! [/wangst]

 

[LadyVader]

Am I a prude if I say there is an insane amount of sex going on in this show? People are about to die, well better get some sex while you can. People travel to Earth, well better get some sex while you can. In another dude's body no less. And when they're not havin sex they're dreaming about having it. Sheesh.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nah, there's a big emphasis on graphic sex. I'm not quite sure why any of the sex scenes besides the one with Young/Telford and his wife in this episode were really necessary. Definitely out of the ordinary if you're used to the older Stargate series.

She didn't kiss Eli, that was Eli day dreaming. None the less, I'm indifferent to the chloe character, she just hasn't done anything of real interest yet.

On the subject on sex in the show, I've never had a problem with it, infact found alot of peoples reaction to it as rather prude. That said, the scenes so far seem just so random, they aren't needed and haven't added anything to the show or it's character, minus maybe the telford/young swap.

So reacting badly to random, unnecessary sex scenes, that add nothing to the show.... is being rather prudish? Riiiight. I guess me not liking bad writing makes me a huge prude.

Eli was imagining the kiss.

And she was upset not because her friend started dating her ex after they broke up, but that she just found out her best friend was ****ing her ex and was the reason they broke up. That sounds like a good reason to be upset (especially after a few drinks).

 

[Arbiter]

YOung didnt think it was weird that essentially his wife was ****ing Telford, even though his mind was in Telfords body his wife still saw Telford.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

I did wonder about that, it almost like she cheated on her husband with her husband

The only way this could get more silly/weird is if the wife had been having an affair with Talford.

 

[wiegeabo]

I don't think it really hit him until he flashed back onto Destiny, and then home again. The expression on his face when he reappeared in the bed was "Oh ****! She's ****ing Telford!"

 

[Asgard]

I like the ep. Does anyone else think the wormhole to Earth would have succeeded if not for Rush? The ep left it kind of ambiguous but I get the feeling it would have worked. Pissed me off how Col Telford and the two scientists just left like that.

I liked the scenes with Eli and his mom. Felt sorry for him.

What a mind**** it is to be on the ship one moment and the next your being ridden by your colleague's wife. It'd be an even bigger mind**** if Col. Young was gay and a bottom.

Bwahahahahaha. Telford's expression would have been even more priceless.


According to Rush, without the safeguards he put in, the overload would have been much greater and destroyed the ship. Whether that's true or not, it was too early to try such a thing. It was obviously an IOC mandated plan. Even Jack wasn't too thrilled with it, and I think he was trying to convince himself it would work with the Carter speech almost as much as he was trying to convince Young. If everyone on the ship had been on the verge of starving to death, or Destiny had suddenly started to seriously fall apart, then sure. They'd have nothing to lose. But, so far, Destiny has been providing them with planets to use and has been tough enough to survive multiple FTL trips and star recharges. So I doubt it's structure is critically compromised at the moment.

That's not what I said, I said some peoples reactions to just the very thought of sex on the show, not the context in which it's in or its relevance, came across as rather prudish to me.

 

[Dr Lee]

I thought Telfords face when he returned from ****ing Youngs wife was priceless......also i liked how both Eli and the Smallville dude both said the same thing about the stones....

 

[RetroNaz]

The storyline with Telford and Young had me in stitches. That was freaking priceless.

Telford got to "unload" so to speak. Then he got to go back to his own body and skip all that chat and being nice nonsense that comes after it LOL.

 

[zanos]

What's the deal with Ona Grauer? Just a few years ago she was playing an unbelievably hot ancient and now she looks like a soccer mom. She's only 31!

 

[Superfreak]

Young is so pathetic on Earth, and so cool in space. Dude has issues

she's a smokin soccer mom though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, she still looks unbelievably hot to me.
