actually liked the latest episode, was a nice take on things, soon as Chloe died I called the ending though, wondering if it carries on next episode, or they leave it as an assumed ending.

I think they left it as an assumed ending. But this was a much much better episode than any of the others combined. That glimmer of hope is still alive.

Chloe died. Twice. Excellent. 
Unfortunately, it's a time travel episode so she'll probably get better. ____________________

The only real downside here is that chloe will live.
Also I saw the preview of the next episode, looks like it will be once again rabble rabble drama.

Edited by: Danton Marcellus on 16/11/2009 15:24:39 Best episode so far yet they had to resort to time travel to pull it off, isn't that the last ditch effort? Ranked even lower than the 'Bobby is dead' dream?'
As for the creepy crawlers, same trap as in Pitch Black, what do they live on? Throwing an apex predator into the mix without an eco system makes for great action but only once I'd like to see someone having put some thought into it and give us a glimpse of these beasts without their current human diet.

No.

Unlike Pitch Black, there was a jungle with plenty of flora and fauna running around. ____________________

It's a jungle, it's presumed to be there, otherwise the ecosystem wouldn't work. For a better explanation, consider that big animals like humans are very easy targets for these carnivores, and they've hunted everything bigger than a cat to extinction. The only animals left are too small to be noticed on camera, but still provide sufficient sustenance to support a population of wriggly carnivores. And it's a far more believable situation than the desert one in Pitch Black (which incidentally included a planet with parallel rings which isn't even physically possible). ____________________

This. Time travel is used when you want to do something actually worth watching, but lack the balls to make lasting changes. Still, it was the best episode so far and definitely was what the series needed at this point. I just hope we don't return to the normal drudgery and the series starts to pick a little pace after this.

I liked it. I was very sad when the Lt with the big boobs died, but thankfully Chloe died soon after, so I knew it wasn't permanent. I really liked how it ended with just the camera recording and no other action, though. It was a nice change from ST where they'd go through the whole thing again and avert disaster.
So one of the better episodes so far, especially since there wasn't any Rush drama with it.

Yeah. Best one yet. They can kill a bunch of characters several times every episode though.
For a bit there when they killed Lt. Big **** ... I didn't realize it was all a loop but yeah, once Chloe died - I saw what was gonna happen.

well it had to happen at some point, opening up the other ships rooms, i am guessing it will happen more often now to :D lol
Someone will sit in the chair, get the info needed, although it makes no sense to include the master codes for a ship that just requires any random person to sit in a chair to get them! bad security if you ask me?
Rush won't sit in it, who will?
also - Young really did beat the snot out of telford, im guessing that may cause a few issues!
overall not a great episode but it has opened up some not so bad topics that wont suck

Edited by: CavoFury1 on 21/11/2009 21:26:49 Edited by: CavoFury1 on 21/11/2009 21:26:08 OK. I've watched every episode of SG:1, SG:A. From first episode to last episode this year(No job atm, so lots of free time).
I just watched episodes 1-9 of SG:U.
It's Lost, in space.
The story of each episode sucks. The whole "reality TV show/Lost" feel is turning my stomach.
Each story line is worse then the one before it.
This show was supposed to be "edgy". If "edgy" means that it's about a lot of people whining about thier lot in life, then it's "edgy". If I wanted to hear people whining about how pitiful their life is I'll go down to the unemployment office and talk to people there.
It's supposed to be more "adult". They mean it shows some VERY soft core ****. I don't know about you guys, but my wife and I don't spend 20 minutes lieing in bed with our cloths on. They hit the floor FAST. If they want to show soft core ****, at least loose the clothing and give us some REAL naked T&A.
They seem to have completely forgotten they're doing a Sci-Fi show, on the Sy Fy channel(or how ever the hell it's spelled). Wheres the SCIENCE?
I mean.. Come on.. The military folks sitting around sobbing to each other. Mental breakdowns?
The first season could take it's whole time just exploring the ship, the lives of the early Ancients, and getting the ship running/under control.
I'm just SO disolutioned about this show.
I was looking for an "adult Sci-Fi show" like it was touted to be. Not a show about adults whining and crying and boobing like babies. An adult Sci-Fi show to me means COMPLEXITY. Deep story lines, complex tech, multiple subplots. Not people crying about their lot in life.
You're on an Alien spaceship, flitting through the Universe. Suck it up, act like adults, and get on with the exploring.
Sigh.. I'll give it till the end of the first season. If they don't fix this crap(And IF it doesn't get cancelled) then I'll drop it.
As it is, the last few episodes I fast forwarded through them as they were SO painful to watch. The Jungle planet/time travel one was so basic of a plot I knew what was going to happen the moment they started killing off people.
time travel plots are either simple moronic throwaway episodes, or they are horribly complex plot lines that intertwine to the point your head hurts.
The Throw away ones are ones that don't affect the REAL story line. This one was one of them.
The REAL time travel ones affect the storyline drastically.
one is for amature writers, the other is for masters. They've just shown which kind of writers they have on the show. Though that was VERY evident from the previous episodes..
I'll give it till the end of the first season, then stop watching if they don't do some DRASTIC changes to the style. And from the nielson ratings, a LOT of people are already dropping it.

i do agree its not true sci fi, my gf watches it with me, first one she has ever watched, and described it today as "good because its more drama" so yeah they need to come back on the whole sci fi, honking space guns and technobable, and I will presume when my gf does not like it, the rest of us will like it more :D

Uh, didnt they explain those in like the first episode?
Also, too much drama, not enough technobabble indeeed. I want to see giant space battles (which looks like wont last long, based on how long they sat firing off the guns in that one episode..)

Is it just me or was there no closure on the time travel dealio, did I blink and miss the obvious there?
The switching bodies is bull****, no way that would work without people becoming self-conscious about their spouses liking the other persons body more or people actually liking it better. You can go on all you want about how it's the personality but forgoing the physical attraction completely, therein lies the true science fiction of this series.
Babylon 5 Crusade was 10 times the show this is turning out to be and that was axed how soon? The only character I like is Rush.
SGU so far, Mammoth load of fertilizer.

What's perhaps more significant is that Rush was able to activate the subspace link to the ships ahead of Destiny that are seeding the stargates.
Do the seeding ships have gates?
Can they be dialed?
Since we know that 9 symbol addresses are specific gates, do we need 9 symbols to dial?
There are some interesting possibilities for future plot lines.

When Destiny drops out of FTL and they gate to a planet, how do you think the gates got there before Destiny? :)
They have already stated that there are several ships up ahead that are seeding galaxies with stargates, but it's not *quite* clear yet what role the Ancients had for Destiny as they ascended before they got round to gating out there.

Did anyone else notice that at the end of the playback of the keyno(sp?) they found they see rush lying on the ground. They only ever took one keyno through the gate, so it is effectively a clone of the one they bring through the second time. Therefore when they come through the second time (the real time lets say) and find the keyno there should be a second Rush? on the other hand, Rush did find some human remains but I can't remember which time that was.

I liked the episode on the jungle world! Episodes like that are bread and butter scifi, I wish someone at syfy could clue in on this and let their writers make some real good TV (they obviously have the ability)
I started watching the new one but kinda phased out and played PC instead, looks like we're back to crap.

It looks like your trying to figure out a time travel episode. Would you like some assistance?

Decent, but not great episode. I liked the Rush parts, especially his attempt to give the crew hope. And how it backfired.
I may be in the minority, but I like the stones and their use in the show. It's not the ST, "Hey, it's me, I'm physically here," sort of thing. The characters have to deal with the fact that they aren't whom they appear to be. This was very well done in the latest episode when the Col. beat the hell out of his adversary, just because he could, and before that when Lou Diamond Phillips called the Pentagon and had the Col. disconnected from the stone. Nicely done in both instances.
I also liked how they delved into the psychological implications of being cut off from home. It's a good change from the other SGs where being in another star system or Galaxy was just par for the course. They're finally dealing with how being in an unknown environment would really affect someone. Also it's nice that RDA is in about every-other-episode; it's always great to see him.
Finally, I just love Mathboy's movie references to some of my favorite films. "Dogs and cats living together..." nice.
Maybe I'm weird, but I like how they're developing the characters first and eschewing the sci-fi part of it, mostly. I mean, what would be the fun if this rag-tag group of characters quickly took control of an Ancient ship with dog-knows what sort of power right away. The writers are doing a decent job of exploring who these people are instead of just having fire the laser beams at every opportunity.
I actually like the comparisons to Lost in that they're exploring and coming to understand their environment. Maybe the best part of the latest episode was that they're slowly exploring the ship. Who knows what they'll find, but as in any good video game (I'm looking at you HL) most of it will be mundane. But you never know when the mundane will become something different.
I don't know if it will last, but I like how everything has unfolded so far. Sure, more space battles would be nice, but it wouldn't really fit in. I think that SG has matured with SGU with its focus on the characters instead of exciting battles every episode. Hard moral choices are generally more interesting than gratuitous pew-pew for the sake of big explosions (something BSG nailed like nothing before it).
