Which character sold this ep or shined for you in "Life"

[Briangate78]

Wanted to try something new, hopefully this is ok to merit it's own thread. As we know SGU is a character driven series. These eps that we have come to seen, 9 so far have various character moments and one or two characters truly sell the episode or have a moment that just makes us say "Wow".

Anyway, for "Life" I think the award goes to Col Young. I felt Young showed his darker side in this episode and his flaws. I loved his continue efforts to keep spying on Rush because he clearly does not trust him.

Kicking the crap out of Telford in the end was a pretty cool moment as well.

Anyway your thoughts to who sold this episode or was the shining character?

[DigiFluid]

Young definitely shone, trying to attack Telford at home and then beating the tar out of him.

I also thought this was a pretty excellent episode for Scott, who's been rather unsympathetic for a while now.

I'd say it was the joint portrayal of Camile and Sharon. I loved seeing the vulnerable side of Camile again, which was contrasted wonderfully by how strong and supportive Sharon was trying to be for her. It really hit home, though, when we saw Sharon break down when she was alone again. You can tell it's just as hard for her, but she's trying to be strong for Camile. All of those scenes were done just wonderfully, and the actresses (as well as the writers) should be proud.

Team effort I think everyone wanted to see Telford receive a whack on the face. The last scene was amusing, haha.

Agreed 147%.

Those few snippets of scenes during the montage were perfect; they were tiny scenes; just regular stuff; and yet, within context of this show, they meant so much. Loved seeing Wray and Sharon just cooking, gossiping, and having fun together, both forgetting, perhaps for only an instant, the realities of the situation.

Those two were great.

Young was Awesome tonight too. I'm not only talking about the Telford Knockout, but also the slow build up from the start to finish towards that point. Really, the man seemed to be ready to snap after being jolted out of that Stone Session.

I actually loved Camille's scenes with Sharon. I was expecting it to be a cheesy portrayal of a lesbian relationship, but it turned out to be (atleast to me) quite well written. I also loved the way Scott responded to the news about having a son, although this seemed a tad bit predictable to me.

[major davis]

Col young and Scott sold it for me. Spencer and Franklin did too. Camille was ok. Telford=jerk. However young is kinda a hypocrite. Whatev.

[MattSilver 3k]

They all did somewhat, though my favourites were Young, TJ, Scott and Camille. Young for kicking Telford's ass, TJ for just being supportive and cute, Scott for his potential for change as given by this revelation, and Camille for... just showing a more human side we briefly got a glimpse of in Light.

[ckwongau]

for me the best moment was from Dr Lisa Park
She is a minor character, her briefy scene actually was quite good.
I am going respectly discuss her situation and i suggest everyone do the same

We saw her together with one of the marine(or air men) in a intimate situation,then later when the same marine try to say hi or something , she ignore him .
During the psy session when TJ ask how she cope with stress
Lisa said

I read

At the end of the episode she was seen with Seg Greer in another intermite situation.

I think when 80 people trap onboard a spaceship, people are going to get toghter .Not everyone can be like Scott and Chole , publicly holding hands or get too serious .

Call it casual sex or booty call or whatever .I think Dr Lisa park actually show us how lonely the crew can get and need a little fun.


The other thing about the episode that get my attention was Camile Wray 's day at home with her girlfriend.
We saw her kissing ,but how far did it went.I don't have any problem with lesbian couple.
but if Camile had sex with her partner in that body , the she violated that young women's body just like Col Young violated Telford.
Spoiler said

Spoiler:

some scientist in Camile body will have sex with someone onboard Destiny

Two wrong doesn't make it right , and are the writer setting Camile to be a lesser victim because she committed the same crime as well.I don't believe in lesser victim , only equal victim and abuser become victim.

young

put spencer in his place and gave teleford what for

Lisa Park, definitely shone for a minor character. It definitely made me laugh that how the Marine and Greer thing was done the exact same way, right down to the hairflick. Someone has got her booty-calling down to an art!

I expect a minor punch up between the lads within a week...

And Young shone at the end of the episode, kicking four shades of tar out of Telford, the look he gave him just before he had the Stones severed was totally asking for some kind of retribution. (Although, personally, I'd have also just shot him when he was on the ground).

Rush again shone trying to keep people on that ship from going Loco by giving them a little bit of hope, he's quite right too, they all were far happier before they found out it was a fake. Young however needs to let up out of his face about Destiny though, with Telford causing hassle for the ship on Earth, and Wray and the IOA cabal having some hidden agenda, and Rush just trying to keep the bucket of bolts flying, he needs to start co-operating with... well... be honest, Rush is probably the smartest guy on the ship.

Matt's sidestory was very well done, it did make him a far more sympathetic character than he's been uptil now... although the so called "Special Chloe Scene" the producers tried to show off was no more than that damn Emo-Bridge where the characters tend to go to get all emotional... isn't there anywhere else on the ship?

That was Greer. Lucky bugger!

Agreed. heck i even understood Rushes reasoning, since it was the same young gave for having that big all hands call just after the others got kicked off in Earth.

I'm not sure yet how much I like Col. Young. Though it was great seeing him beat Telford. Pretty much Ely shines in every episode for me.
It was a good epi for Scott.

I totally agree. He may be smaller than both these guys. But he Kicked both their butts!!!

[Col.Foley]

Scott and Young.

And Eli at the end. LOL

I'd say it was the joint portrayal of Camile and Sharon. I loved seeing the vulnerable side of Camile again, which was contrasted wonderfully by how strong and supportive Sharon was trying to be for her. It really hit home, though, when we saw Sharon break down when she was alone again. You can tell it's just as hard for her, but she's trying to be strong for Camile. All of those scenes were done just wonderfully, and the actresses (as well as the writers) should be proud.

To me, it's just amazing how well Young is keeping it together, at least on the ship. He gets a little snippy occasionally, but nowhere near as badly as most people would handle his situation. The thing that most makes me impatient for the next episode is the fact that it's obvious that Spencer is out of pills and he's going to snap. And in the first episodes, everyone thought Greer was going to be the loose cannon.

Indeed. This was actually the only time I liked the use of the stones.

[kaliel]

I think, for me, it was a tie between Camille and Young, simply because they were the characters that were explored the most, and that character development is exactly what the show needs to get on it's feet.

[MechaThor]

I think Franklin took the show this week. With Young in second place. I just don't know why but one of the biggest treats for me was seeing Franklin smile at the end of the episode after seeing his first little sapling, especially after all the Spencer stuff he had to go through. Volkner also made me laugh when he gave up on the running.
