You convinced me of something. Instead of tuning in next week, I will burn my "Stargate: SG-1" dvd sets during the show's airing. Forget about watching "Stargate: Universe". Its time to start the burning.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! Kind of reminds me about the time when I burned my Star Wars dvd sets. Lol... Watching all six go up in flames gave me pleasure. Lucas will never-ever get another dime from me.
Stargate franchise will be next to burn in our house. Since the writers want to cheapen Stargate with this sex junk, I might as well treat the dvd sets like the garbage they are now being expanded upon.

If the writers don't stay true to the Stargate franchise, (within the next episode of Universe), its bye-bye to my SG-1 DVD sets. Atlantis will follow its fate. I already have four other family members ready to burn theirs, and I'm talking to several others to join in on the BBQ. So far everyone is on board.
I give them one more week to get us back on track. Doomsday for my "Stargate: SG-1" and "Stargate: Atlantis" dvd sets are near.
We are going to have a full boycott on all "Stargate" products.
...Which is what, exactly? Throwing away money? They have the money you paid for those DVDs already. You're not getting it back even if you do something stupid like burn them. It could also be harmful to yours and your family's health. I don't know exactly what a DVD is made of, or what gasses come off it while it's aflame, but I can't imagine it being healthy.
Seriously, it just infuriates and confounds me that you're so convinced that this is the right thing to do and that it will mean ANYTHING to ANYONE except yourself. How does what's in this show have any impact on what's been done already on SG-1? I promise, your DVDs weren't infected with a sex scene from being in the same room.
On another note, I find it strange that so many people object to sex so strongly. It's a fact of life. People have sex, it happens. I thought the days of closed-minded censorship and "sex without love/ for pleasure is evil" were behind us.

What SGU is depicting is a form of rape.
Wow, and I thought SGU was geared towards a younger audience...

We first saw body swapping in SG-1 when Daniel and Vala ended up in the Ori galaxy and alerted the Ori. This was the start of an epic adventure which didn't really make us think of the issues involved in body swapping. We next saw it in SGA but again, it happened in another galaxy in an action adventure show so we didn't think of the issues involved from this either.
In SGU the body swapping issue is brought very close to home because it's being illustrated with ordinary, everyday life situations. The Asgard decided that Earth humans were the Fifth Great Race and handed over all their advanced technology. Earth humans have also acquired advanced technology from other sources, including the Ancients. SGU is now showing us members of the Fifth Great Race who aren't neccessarily using advanced technology as wisely or as responsibly as they should.sigpic

Like some people have said, perhaps the body swapping participants sign a waiver that basically gives the other person free reign. I actually hope so, since I really like Young's character and don't want him coming off as a scumbag.

Here's my take on the whole issue.
During the show, someone mentioned to Eli that there were certain rules to follow. It is perhaps the case that these rules included intimacy. Perhaps they all agree to certain things while inhabiting another person's body. After all, if harm were to come to the borrowed body while the stones are in use, the "soul" (or whatever it is) would perish with that body as well. So, it technically belongs to that person for that amount of time. Does this mean that it is OK to do whatever? Of course not, but there are certain things that can be expected. Intimacy with one's spouse is one of those things that could be expected if the parties agreed. I think Telford was surprised, but who's to know if they didn't agree to this?
If we go by the logic of the people screaming rape, then everything they go the bathroom or take a shower with the "borrowed" body, could be a form of rape. Actually, if you really think about it, having control over another person's body is already raping it.
It's a show, it's meant to entertain and make you think. You don't like it, don't watch it."I swallowed a bug" River

why is young the bad guy here? he was relieved of his command AND his body, as in was not allowed to return to his body a billion light years away. why should he not treat the body he's been forced into as his own? why is the fact he was prevented from returning not as outrageous as him sleeping with someone?sigpicEMBRACE DEMOCRACY, OR YOU WILL BE ERADICATED-Liberty Prime

So yeah, Young's body was essentially hijacked as well.
