'Light' (105) General Discussion

Girlie gush:

Did you get a load of Greer's abs? WOW!!

Greer, my favorite character. Even if he's had like 15 lines in the 4 eps that have aired.

So Chloe is a tramp for having sex. Yet nothing is said of Scott for having had sex with *two* women in a few days... Wouldn't this make him even more of a tramp than Chloe??

Sorry, these types comments aimed only at a specific gender really honk me off. Not at you. Just in general. What's true for the goose should be true for the gander.

Actually, have you read the previous 8 pages. I think the general consensus has been more unfavorable towards Scott regarding the hookup than Chloe, as he already has one "bed buddy" on the ship. People are just upset that she is using Eli. Don't be so quick to play the gender card or take offense.

Yet he wasn't the one called a tramp.

Good point. I had referred to Scott as a gigolo in a different thread. I wonder what the proper term is for a male tramp?

However, my point was more that depicting women in this manner is degrading. But it is true it is also degrading to men as well.

Man-whore.

trampus maximus!

I'm willing to bet most of you aren't from Puritan settlements. So why the kneejerk negative reaction just because people are getting some?

I know it occupies a lot of time in my mind, and I'm quite certain it does in most of yours too--so why should the Destiny crew be wearing chastity belts?

[khomel]

For someone who supposedly reveres God, Scott sure gets around. 2 gals in less than a week. Or is it 3 days?

This is what I was going to bring up. WTF? Maybe it will make for an all out catfight later. LOL

[suse]

Point is made. Thanks!

Young and Greer are totally worth watching.

You really can't figure out why SGU depicting sex in a manner like that of a soft core porn flick is a problem? It is because it is sophomoric and degrading to both women and men.

Destiny stuff

I think that ending sequence proves that the Destiny doesn't have any sort of AI that's capable of independant decision. It's running through a (large and complex) program that contains little more than a list of commands. "Running low on X? Go to System Y and get some. Running low on Zed? StarSurf for more power."

The fact that it was blithly unconcered for the shuttle and its passengers prove that while it's capable of preserving life support and arrainging for repairs, it's NOT capable of doing anything outside of that programming or spontaniously.

That makes it a much more interesting character and plot device. What'll happen when the crew wants to do something that isn't part of its programming?

Yet nothing is said of Scott for having had sex with *two* women in a few days...

... isn't that the goal of maledom? *flees as fast as his legs can take him*

*snort, followed by incredulous laughter*

This isn't even beginning to approach softcore porn, but that wasn't the point.

Why should no-one be having sex? Particularly when they think they're going to die?
