Bizarre SGU promo shot

[donutsweeper]

Am I the only one that finds this picture bizarre and possibly bordering on disturbing?




I mean, really? Do we have to portray the women as sex objects? And if they were lusting after/throwing themselves on someone, they chose him? The man who all the characters hate? *sighs*

Eh, ew.

That just looks wrong.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Exactly!!! Just ewww, no!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

And I don't even know who these people are.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

It's more disturbing if you've watched SGU (and for the love of all that's chocolate DON'T) but even just as a picture it's ODD.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I wasn't planning on watching but now I shall make sure not to. But yeah. As a completely objective observer, I say "ew".

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You are a smart, smart woman!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Hehe, always nice to hear that *nods and bows* Thank you!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I going to watch it tonight, but only to laugh at it.

not the guy I would have picked... I'm hoping for Lou Diamond Phillips character to be decent.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

That is probably good :D

Entertainment for the purpose of mocking can be fun!

I blinked and missed his appearance in the twoparter last week. Maybe he's only recurring now? The picture is just odd, not sure it would have worked no matter who they picked, but this was definitely an odd choice.

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! It all depends on one's attitude!

Um, why? Really, if they are looking for attractive guys in sci-fi/fantasy shows for people to coo over, I can think of a lot of better options. Then again, I'm not seeing the attraction to this guy at all in the first place and all I know about him is that he's the reason they are stuck where they are stuck.

...what.

[snufflesdbear.livejournal.com]

Looks like some bizare romance novel cover. That's just...bad. Also, makes me think SGU should be on the CW network. syfy... same diff these days. *sigh*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

He's 100% the reason they didn't just gate to Earth and wound up on abandoned ship in middle of nowhere. And... sorry, not what I'd consider a lead romantic kind of guy either.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*laughs* best reaction ever! I agree wholeheartedly!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Maybe a cocktail or two while mocking? What do you think?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Syfy has fallen massively lately, hasn't it?

[stackcats.livejournal.com]

It just makes no sense!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Ooooooh yes. That is a fantastic idea. Should definitely happen.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Or chocolate. Or both?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... Actually, I think it should be sparkling wine, strawberries and chocolate, but that might be a bit hard to arrange?

Did you ever manage to watch the whole pilot? (Or the two parts already shown, I think tonight's is part 3)
