Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[TheCorpulent1]

Holy hell, that chick Eli and Riley were spying on was hot. That's the chick Scott was banging in the kitchen in the pilot, right?

Anyway, is anyone else liking Colonel Young a lot? I like his characterization so far. Dude's a great leader--very pragmatic and concerned with results over all else, but never loses his temper. They balanced him out nicely with the rift between him and his (ungodly hot) wife in this episode, too. I think he and Telford are gonna have a nice rivalry going forward.

Definitely. TJ is also getting better, especially with that scene with Rush after his freakout. And even Rush, the fact that he freaked out when he wasn't able to fix the problem... took a little off his, "I'm so smart and mysterious" shield he has.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The fact that Rush is in caffeine and nicotine withdrawal explains a lot.

 

[Manic]

I've seen a few minutes of this show. If Rush is the scientist with the stick up his rear, I think he's withdrawing from a hell of a lot more than coffee and cigarettes. My immediate reaction upon seeing him was "someone must've left their meds on Earth."

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, yeah, if you watch the rest so far, you'll only hate him more. Dude's a colossal bastard.

 

[Manic]

I'm guessing there's one character he grudgingly gets along with. Ornery main characters either soften up with time, have that one friend who gets them, or get killed off.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eli seems to be all right with him because he's a super-genius in waiting. Rush respects that. Although even Eli still annoys him at times.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Holy crap. I just did a major edit on my last spoiler post. I meant to type in another military person's name, instead of what I had in there.

 

[Gilpesh]

I enjoyed how the soldiers grabbed Eli and told him that he should tell them everything he hears.

The only thing I wish Col. Young would do to make him even more awesome in my eyes is to hand out an order to bind and gag his body as soon as they identify his "replacement" as Col. Telford. What's Telford going to do? Court martial them?

 

[Maximus One]

You must have missed the preview for next week's episode.

Spoiler

Scott and Chloe were "doing it."

Thats why I said they wouldnt be more than friends. ****ing fatist people

 

[Gilpesh]

Actually. They just need the annoying love triangle which plays with the whole "nice guy vs bad boy" thing.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You know we'll have it. They did it with McKay, Keller, and Ronon in Atlantis.

 

[Gilpesh]

Or maybe Eli will finally annoy his way into that Vanessa girl's shorts. And the show will avoid having the annoying love triangle.


Aka the impossible.

 

[Dr Lee]

and that wasn't a real Triangle..... they heavily slanted it in the 'McKeller' direction.... hardly had anything with her and Ronon.... to the anger of a lot of fans.

 

[Manic]

I gave up on trying to figure out the romances on SG Atlantis. Practically everyone in the cast had excellent chemistry with one another, and I kept registering a bunch of false alarms. John and Liz, John and Teyla, Teyla and Ronon, Liz and Caldwell. At some point, I just gave up and accepted that everyone in that cast just clicks.

 

[Dr Lee]

i was surprised that TPTB actually went and made a 'Ship' canon (which is different to a Ships cannon :P)... but i agree... the majority of the cast just seemed to click... creating more Shipping Variants in SG:A than i've seen in any other show...

I like Young, he's certainly my favorite character. I hate how he's been 'grounded' by injury. They always seem to do this with the coolest characters (not SG, but TV in general... ie. remember when starbuck, the greatest starfighter of all time was grounded for a season and a 1/2 on BSG, thanks to her broken leg, or Colonel McQueen in SAAB, same bloody deal).

Hopefully he'll be large and in charge by the end of the season.

Gotta re play my call for boobies. Sgt. James has huge boobs, Chloe's got nice ones too.... but I didn't see anyone notice Young's Ex. She's got milfy hotness. Three sets of boobs in one episode: They better pace themselves.

not a fan of Jesus soldier boy..."Can I say a prayer?"....this show has one more episode to impress me

seriously, Lt. Matt seemed pretty cool, til the religious stuff. Now I dislike him completely because of it. "Christians don't believe in gravity" (Thanks Peter)

 

[BlackLantern]

well it is different as you don't see a lot of characters that are people of faith on tv...but I hope it doesn't get out of hand

truth. IMO, they've already taken it a little too far. It's not damning, but I'm certainly not into the idea. Off the top of my head, the Chase character from House MD is a worthwhile character of faith, that doesn't ram it down the audiences throat. And interestingly, the character backround of Chase is similar to Lt. Matt;s

i just keep thinking about what i would do if i was Young.

right before i switched back into my own body id draw **** on his face or get completely naked.

How has it gotten out of hand? He explained he was raised by a priest in Air (and showed his screw up), and he's said one prayer for the crew. I see it as just establishing a character.

This really isn't something SG has touched on before. At least not in this way. The Go'uld took on the roles of gods to control humans, as did the Ori. But they've never really showed how a member of the SGC deals with their religion and what the presence of aliens means to them.

 

[BlackLantern]

maybe the presence of aliens blows away that silly little story book people have believed in their whole lives??
