donutsweeper | SGU the liveblogging yet again

So now everyone's friends and joking around with one another? Why do I not buy it?

Ming-Na's already had more lines today then in the previous 3 hours, not sure if that's a good sign or bad.

Oh, and look. Rush is still a bastard. How shocking.

Is it sad that I'm kind of happy to see the chef/kitchen scullion/whatever?

Isn't it neat that everyone with the terrible sunburns still have slightly reddened skin but aren't peeling at all?

I never liked Dr. Smith on "Lost in Space" and I feel the same about Rush. He reminds me of when my son was two and had temper tantrum and I'd have to send him to his room for a time out.

And why gang up on Eli? That really does not make any sense. Yay for random stupid scene.

You know that whole 'running out of power' thing made sense on Atlantis with the city waking up due to the ATA gene carriers, but it makes no sense on THE DESTINY. (And let me say, yet again, that the way they entirely ignore the whole ATA gene thing on SGU makes no sense whatsoever considering this is an Ancient ship and all)-- oh, they just explained it. The Destiny predates the gene? Err, yeah. That makes no sense.

wow chloe took a ridiculously long shower. Seriously, from before the chick came and got Eli to taking him to where they talked and back?

I'd really like Young to shoot Rush. Does that make me a terrible person?

Loved Young's little speech about the computer hacker, college dropout having to save their asses.

Scott praying is IC, but still... seems odd.

And look, Peter Delusie cameo. He's had one on every SG show now, right?

The whole body-switch thing is random and annoying. (and makes no sense for the rumor that someone switches into someone having sex) I'm so glad SGA didn't do it.

Why do all the random civilians buy into the body switch thing? And why are they being allowed to be TOLD about the body switch and stargate and everything?

And the confusion over the who is in who is getting old fast.

I'm tired of Lou Diamond Phillips waltzing around on the ship and being all "I'M IN COMMAND" Dude, you screw up there THEY all die and you're just fine. They are the ones who don't have enough to eat or drink and barely sleep and can't shower and whatnot.

Every soldier every day knows there is a chance they won't make it home. Stargate program or not.

Yes, caffeine withdrawal can take down the strongest of men....

Any time I hear about the slingshot maneuver I always think of Farscape.

Eli and Chloe are sort of cute together (like brother and sister not slashy)

And they are super short on supplies, yet leave a cup of water on the dashboard to shake and spill?

What a dumbass ending though. Yeah right, I don't believe for one second the ship is going to fly into the sun killing everyone on board. Ain't gonna happen.

OH GOD YES.

this really is the kind of show that gives scifi a bad name, isn't it?

Scifi and the Stargate franchise.

it was good. once. long long ago *sighs*

I will think fondly of those days and boggle at just how long ago they were.

VERY MUCH SO

And now I want to go watch the original movie.

I liked the movie. And I liked a lot of SG1. it wasn't perfect, but it was SCIFI- dealing with real world issues through the alien lens

I really liked the movie, more so because it's one of the first movies I remember my dad liking just as much as I did, even when no one else in my family really got it.

SG-1 was scifi as I feel scifi should be (for most of the series, at least). It's fun, it's got plenty of explosions, it doesn't take itself too seriously, but it still manages makes you think about the world around you. I think SyFy has almost completely lost those last two aspects, now.

Yes! This!! Tight pants and sexy pouts in space do not scifi make

LOL, I think your description is more effective.

I forgot to mention the explosions and imminent death on a regular occasion.

Ah, yes. Can't forget those.

So, what do we have? According to Syfy, a good science fiction show needs tight pants, sexy pouts, numerous explosions and the chance imminent death on a regular occasion.. and all IN SPACE.

Sadly, they get good ratings, too.

WWE gets good ratings. Doesn't make it good scifi

Just means they're apparently drawing in the right audience. Who knew there was one...

They want the advertisers for 18-25 yr old men. That's where the biggest $$ is. The rest of us be damned.

It's really starting to show, too.

Yep. *big sigh*

SyFy is quickly becoming my least favorite network. Well, right under NBC.

I'm still pissed at NBC, tonight should have been Southland's premiere.

Syfy just makes me sad. I used to love it and watched it all the time. They they switched to randomly showing shows for a day instead of the old way of at 2 was X and at 3 was Y and you could watch day after day and see the episodes in order and really get to know old favorites and learn about new shows. Now I almost never watch it during the day. :(
