Telford's communication disruption...

[AVFan]

No...that's kind of the reason why the stones are their only way to communicate. Signals from other galaxies tend to not get here...

Through the gate they will. It would be as if they were only 100-200 feet away, in realspace.

A bit milder surprise for the scientists hard at work on the terminals, then one of them finds himself dancing at a club with a hot chick and the other one finds herself really drunk and attacking another girl. "This is what they're doing with our bodies while we're gone!?"

Somehow reminds me of an old (and underrated, IMO) movie: "Cheech & Chong's Corsican Brothers"

LOLZ Yep!

But they can't use the gate to connect to Earth....so how will the signal get there?

Some ground rules should be made for what you can and cant do in the other persons body

Number 1 should be "No sex"
Seems silly to have to state a rule like that though

what they dont know cant hurt them ^^

I howled. I'm glad the commercial break came not long after, so I had a couple minutes to compose myself

[Cecil Brax]

Certainly,

That had to have been one of the Guidelines that Young had mentioned when he talked to Eli and Chloe about visiting their families. I would think that was probably a rule in place. We don't know for sure right now, but I would certainly hope that was one of the Guidelines.

Maybe in a future episode we'll see them mention something about the Guidelines that are in place for this. Seriously though, you shouldn't be able to use someone else's body for that.

That was priceless.

My whole family lol'd at that.

It can if an STD is involved.

[Angela V]

I was surprised that Young would do something like that in some else's body. I know it was put in there as a laughing moment but Telford should've been pissed at what Young was doing with his body. And Young should be ashamed of himself.

I wouldn't say that at all. I'm not sure what makes you think Telford would be angry about someone else getting him laid, and I really don't understand what's wrong with Young trying to fix his marriage and getting a little....physical in the process.

It's strange, I think, that a lot of people don't have much of an adverse reaction to Young having sex with Telford's body. Not trying to project any opinions on anyone in particular, but I wonder if people don't care as much because he's a man?

For example, what variable of the scenario would have to be changed for people to get up-in-arms about how "wrong" it is? If you were here over the summer, then you already know one scenario that certainly outraged a decent portion of people

If a woman had taken over Telford's body, would that have been different? How about a man taking over a woman's body and doing the same thing? Etc...

I'm genuninely curious about this.

Also, my curiosity is mostly because I've noticed a surprising amount of people who found this "funny", or at the very least they didn't find it off-putting.

However, (*possible spoilers for upcoming SGU*)

Spoiler:

a great many people were very angry over sides from the episode "Sabotage" several months back. Granted, we have no idea if anything happens, but it seemed to suggest Rush having sex with a woman that takes over Camille's body via the body-swap device.

Where do we draw this line, and why?

What's the deal with the communication stones? Was it ever mentioned how they actually work? Even back when they were discovered by SG1?

Also these stones now use a box. Is that Earth design?

Yes and yes. Both were seen in Avalon/Origin and Crusade respectively
