'Earth' (107) General Discussion

[PG15]

He would've done it in 5 minutes if there was a lemon within a one-hundred meter radius.

My initial point still stand. People claiming Eli calculating the data for a sling shot manoeuver in 30 seconds is so much more realistic are lying to themselves. Same as all the other "conveniences" I exposed in my initial post.

You're right, it's almost as unrealistic as... energy shields.

p.s. are you a law student??

I don't understand how having space suits or going to planets with lime and water are too convenient.

The reason for the suits there is just as obvious as the reason for showers to be there. Because they would be there.

They didn't just happen to find a planet with lime. Destiny knew there were life support issues the whole time and plotted a course to a planet in its database it knew to have lime. Same thing for water.

It's not like they're wandering around just hoping they'll find something. The ship is doing what it knows it needs to do to keep its crew alive, provided that it is within the set peramaters laid out by whoever programmed it.

Did anyone else have an '80's flashback?

OMG! Brilliant! Maybe she's Tootie's daughter.

Okay, McKay would have done it in 25 while being fired upon by Wraith.

Okay, Season 5 McKay would have done it in 30 while being fired upon by pansy Wraith (De-wraithified by 5 years of weakened writing).

Season 1 McKay would have passed out from manly hunger and then solved it in his sleep.

1. I'm surprised people have such a big issue with the bodyswap sex(or even boozing in someone else's body). If Telford and the others didn't think that this was a possibility then they are morons. A better point to make is that Young's wife was so comfortable with it - maybe there's previous history there, who knows.

If there isn't previous history. Telford's well out of order.

2. Jack, not sure why he was backing the IOA on this one but I do think he had some sympathy for Young's situation.

3. Rush, I just think knew the plan was bad news and was more than happy to sabotage it. One of his better moments.

4. Ely/Chloe...meh.

Overall...very damn good!

Exactly. Completely agree. My guess is someone very smart programmed Destiny. My first thought was Janus but if my math is right he wouldn't have been born yet.

The problem is the crew is nothing but a bunch of intruders which doesn't even have the code to activate the control. Nobody would program a ship to do such thing. Probably the contrary would happen. A big siren would be heard while all doors would close and lock and most of the ship would be inaccessible.

Isn't most of it already inaccessible? I recall a figure of 20% being bandied about.

[Saquist]

Did anyone notice that the Destiny's weapons platform is anti-fighter based?

[Automission]

Not really, as they could be used for any type of ship, regardless of its type. But there may be some more big ship friendly weapons they just didn't use, as the ammo source for them maybe finite.

[wargrafix]

Realistically, those guns might be all you need. One well placed shot could make somebody's Monday morning alot less pleasant.
