The episode was okay. Nothing to really say about it.

The only thing I can think of right now is. At least it didn't take a full episode to fly into the sun this time.

Okay, these two things are really starting to bug me.

1. The sex scenes. I really think I've seen enough sex now. Stargate (the original movie), Stargate SG-1, both of SG-1's movies, and Stargate Atlantis all got by without a single sex scene (and only a few implied sex scenes). I really, really, don't think it's that hard to make a point about somebody's relationship without showing them getting it on.

2. Am I the only person to whom this ship screams "godmod?" I mean, it's solved at least one major problem for them, completely by itself. It's greatly facilitated the solving of the others as well. It seems like the only thing it can't do is dial Earth.

Unless the ship doesn't want to go to Earth... maybe the ship is ALIVE! It's the first alien in the show and it wants to watch and study the humans, keeping them alive is all part of the plan.

Thats why he is there, he's going to pretend to be the colonel, a lot, often, and if she catches him not being the colonel, they'll do it anyway, I guarantee it, simply because the writers appear to want to set up that sort of drama.

Oh dear lord... that would be ridiculous and slightly creepy and I wouldn't put it past the writers anyway

He's probably doing it to get revenge or something. Not very professional, but then who on this new show is?

So let's recap, yet agian another episode with forced, pointless drama. O'Neil isn't even O'Neil, and of course we are currently 8 episodes in (counting each of the two part pilot as one episode) and we've had 7 sex scenes since then. This show is trying too hard. And no it's not a touchy subject, it's just a plain fact they are falling too hard on the sex to drive the show, and in at least two incidents there isn't even any reason for it. It just drives home the point that even the writers know the story is utter garbage they have to draw the attention fo the viewership with lot's of sex or implied sex. Plain and simple.

The shows not a drama it's a travesty. It's all forced drama with no reason and at best seems to be making up some smarmy BS statement of long distance relationships and such.

When the first and basic description of this show was released, it had great potential... "It has to do with the 9th Chevron."

Now, it's just garbage.

Agreed, the drama appears to be more about sexual drama then anything, who's having sex with whom, in control of another person's body, spying on whoever in the showers, jealous of other people's relationship, translating it to the workplace or vice versa . And lacking in other areas, first, I hardly care about that crap, and think its all just really messed up, and ****es me off when shows get into that area, second, I want something resembling Stargate, that half the show hardly exists.
