I remember the little girl from the planet where they downloaded their intelligence. Young is doing what he thinks is best, just as O'Neill did.
Young was actually more respectful than O'Neill towards Hammond. Young didn't yell.

And I loved the look on the swapped-in scientist's face when he realized what Eli's body was wearing.
If future episodes stay as good as this one, I just might be forced to become a fan of this show....

All in can say is thank God for Sanctuary, or my Friday's would be meaningless.
Favorite part of the ep? Jack. I always love to see Jack.

Anyway a good piece of foreshadowing for those of us who don't read spoilers to tell us that at the very least their is some physical attraction between Young and TJ. Also speaking the teaser Ming Na looks great to be doing some acting chops. It’s also nice that we get some common sense behind using the communication stones. Besides that their isn't much to say about the teaser because nothing else really interesting happened.
Of course, I literally pegged them to get together the minute I read the first character biographies. They're SGU's Jack and Sam.
Jack/Sam & Young/TJ
Spoiler:Take one older, experienced Air Force colonel whose ready to retire and dealing with a difficult family life. Enter young, blond, smart Air Force officer under his chain of command apparently means romance in Stargate.
Though let it be known that I really hate the affair that took place there. I'm getting really sick of the lack of honor shown by a lot of these characters.
Disclaimer: This is just the ramblings of a hopeless romantic of Stargate.
But may I also just say, that while I'm all for character development (I've repeatedly said how much I wish that SG-1/SGA had more character defining moments), I think that this has gone to far.
I can't even think of this as science-fiction anymore. This is a soap opera in a sci-fi environment. I understand that this would be a hard situation for everyone on board, but the bickering and juvenile disagreements between the characters is really getting on my nerves.
Obviously I'm still watching the show, hoping for the arrival of some wacky aliens and severely missing SG-1/SGA's super space battles.sigpic

What I think this episode did was lay the remaining pieces of the foundation of the series. In the 7 Episodes so far we have:
- All the major characters (and a few minor ones) have the foundations of their characters outlined. While some have been developed more than others everybody seems to have had at least some time in the spotlight.
- The Destiny has been introduced enough that we know the basics of how things are going to work while leaving enough mystery that can be explored later.
- They've pretty much now know they aren't getting home anytime soon as now have to make the best of it.
Actually I think they've done a pretty good job. I'm interested to see how things play out with the setup they've come up with. Sure its not SG-1 or SG-A but its certainly worth watching.
Although I really hope that next weeks isn't a Time Travel/Alternative Universe thing. Too soon, too soon.

What Young did in Telford body was not cool, funny b/c Telford a jerk, but that still gave him no right to do what he did..

Originally posted by dasNdanger View PostYeah. I think I'm done, and I feel really bad about it because I do like some of the characters, but I have always hated 'soapy' type shows and movies, and this element is just becoming too prominent in this show.

At the end of Earth Young was briefing the IOA and US Military and he said something to the effect of, "Well the time I have allotted for this meeting is over" and walked out. He also appeared much more confident and in control.
Do you think they are now having security on their bodies on the Destiny as they go to Earth with soldiers stationed to remove the stones after a certain amount of time to make sure Telford and/or somebody else can't take over again?
I could just see Telford waking up in Young's body tied up with Greer sitting in a chair across the room from him sneering at him with that look of his, this thought makes me smile!sigpic
