Just read the article on Gateworld and thought I'd chime in to say I think it's a potentially great idea.
Just because it doesn't have any jeopardy doesn't mean it'd be bad. And there are different ways to define "jeopardy" too. The small dramas and tribulations of day-to-day life could make a nice counterpoint to the larger perils and threats faced in the rest of the show.
It'd also be nice to see some REAL character development beyond Shep letching after some young girl and Rodney acting like a buffoonish jerk. *sigh* Small doses, boys, those things are only good in SMALL doses. Not to mention the fact that with five mini stories the rest of the main cast might actually get a chance to ACT for a change.
Maybe we could finally find out more about Teyla, for example. Hmm... *counts* I assume the five would be Shep, McKay, Teyla, Ronon and Weir, but personally, I think it'd be nice to see a bit of Beckett, too. He's SUPPOSED to be main cast, but I think the only one who's remembered that is the guy signing the paychecks.
Anyone have ideas for what kinds of things they'd like to see in an ep like this? Other than shippy stuff.
I'd like to see Teyla actually acting as a leader to her people. And Carson maybe trying to get something done while being constantly interrupted by a stream of petty "injuries". Maybe he could even be the connecting factor for the stories. Rodney's black eye, Shep's rash (hehe, sorry, couldn't resist), Teyla's bruised knuckles (hmm...), stuff like that.
EDIT: I didn't think this thread needed any caveats, but since some people feel compelled to continue a personal crusade of hate on every thread they visit, I'll point out that this thread is for FUN and FRIENDLY discussion ONLY. Honest criticism is one thing, but ABSOLUTELY NO BASHING, NO ATTACKS, NO DEATHWISHES. Thank you.
