Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[RetroNaz]

Yeah I guess so. I think I expected more to happen with the bug things or something, not sure. Still loving the show though!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I remain skeptical that they managed to get all of the little bug/cloud things.

 

[RetroNaz]

Did anyone else get a little bit of an Abyss vibe when TJ first met them?

 

[Kahoot]

The sand also got out the container before the two space men came back through the gate. Some of them might've came through the gate too.

I still only remember the names of Eli and Rush...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Col. Young = commander on Destiny who was limping until recently

Chloe = daughter of the senator who's banging Scott

Lt. Matthew Scott = young airman who got the limestone in the second episode and got stuck in the ice in this week's episode, and who is banging Chloe

TJ (not sure of her rank but I think she's a Lt. too) = the blonde medic

Camille Wray (not sure of the spelling) = Ming-Na, a.k.a. the civilian IOA chick

Col. Telford = Lou Diamond Phillips, a.k.a. the ex-commander of Icarus base who keeps waiting by the communication stones so he can try to undermine Young's command on Destiny when he "calls"

Brody = the dark-haired civilian scientist (I want to say he's an astrophysicist, but I'm not sure) who made it onto the shuttle a couple episodes ago

Vanessa James (not sure of rank) = the dark-haired military chick (not sure if she's a marine or an airman) who was banging Scott in the first episode and whom Eli and Riley were spying on with a kino (I don't even know if that's how you spell that)

Riley (not sure of rank) = the young airman who got caught spying on James with Eli and who does the menial work like dialing the stargate

I think that's all I got. I knew the overly violent sergeant's name (the guy with the improvised flamethrower in the most recent episode), but it's not coming to me right now.

 

[Kahoot]

Cheers, but when I'm watching the show that'll out be out of my head and it will just be that one, that one and that one with Eli over there talking about Rush aka the guy from Trainspotting.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, I do call Rush "Carlyle" in my head a lot of the time. Kind of weird to see him in 24 and then this. His characters are polar opposites.

He will always be Bigby. Can't wait til he flips out and cuts someones head off with a broken bottle... and then eats them to assume their essence.

I think this show would be a great hit, if it were just Carlyle lost in space.

Greer

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yes, that is his name. Sgt. Greer. I think he's a marine, but I'm not 100% sure.

I wish Stargate Command still only used Air Force personnel.

 

[Superfreak]

Greer

he certainly had the best line of last episode: "I can invent stuff too", it was brilliant

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Heh, I came dangerously close to liking him after that line.

 

[BlackLantern]

Yes, that is his name. Sgt. Greer. I think he's a marine, but I'm not 100% sure.

I wish Stargate Command still only used Air Force personnel.

any particular reason why?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Because then I wouldn't constantly be wondering whether characters are marines or airmen.

 

[GhostPoet]

Really enjoyed the episode. It was nice to see them do some offworld stuff again. And I liked the fact that an alien from a past episode shows up in this current episode...it really makes each episode feel connected to the other...unlike in past Stargate series where everything resets at the end of the episode and the next episode starts like nothing ever happened.

What about the sunburns the expeditionary crew got from the sand planet? They have it slowly fading, just like real sunburns. There were even still signs of it on their faces in the last episode, if I am recalling correctly.

Shows you that they're really focusing on making this a tight story arc, instead of the alien-or-planet-of-the-week formula the SG-1 and SG-A used for most of their runs.

to a degree, all the women still look like they just walked out of a beauty salon. Chloe must have brought her curlers with her off world

 

[wiegeabo]

Well, it's only been a couple of weeks (I think they said). Chloe probably had makeup in her purse, bag, or whatever she may have been carrying. And the other woman probably had makeup with their stuff as well. But it has to run out eventually.

I wonder if there's a barber on board. Because eventually their hair has to grow.

Oh geez, I just thought how much it'll hurt to shave once their razors get dull. ouch

LOL dude, that cracked me up.

Hair product and tooth paste...damn, they'll stop having them soon too.

And deodorant. My TJ is going to stink

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm sure they'll find some buttcrack-of-space equivalent for all that stuff.

that's what I mean. It's not fun if they suddenly have power = all the amenities of home. It's too easy.

I'm talkin beards, hairy legs, non-perfect eyebrows and all the other luggage that has to do with being stranded with 80 people, and random expedition supplies for 10(we saw telford's team).

the fact that they have showers already means that issues like that are just going to evaporate.

but I really want them to go the 'ALIVE' route, and be forced to eat someone when they run out of protein bars and mix... OK, maybe not eat someone, but you get the point. (on the thought of lost is space with terrible food, anyone remember when they could only find crackers on Farscape, and they went nuts and all tried to kill each other over them? My favorit epi)

take the concept the distance is what I'm saying. I hope this show does.


that being said, those issue of survival and supply should be running off against another narrative, so they can play off of each other. Right now, the survival and supply narratives are central, and playing off some fairly weak dramatic interpersonal melodramas.

I'm just hoping for the return of Wilson to really kick this up a notch.

So...exactly how many condoms did they remember to bring in their rush to get through the stargate?

Or do they plan to make lots of babies...

it's so true... if you were stuck on an ancient spaceship, with nothing to do, what would you do (especially given that the IOC/SGC has a tendancy to stock the female ranks with hotties)?
