'Light' (105) General Discussion

Nope, TNG had stargates in their second season ep CONTAGION. I saw it recently and screamed STARGATES.

Even TNG is ripping off a concept. I think the first Stargate plot device was in a 60s book but I forget its name

Mmmm...Good times, good times...

More naked Greer, obsessed much.

Well, obsession is a strong word...

Could it have been Andre Norton's 'Stargate?" Although, the stargate in the novel is only used once for some odd reason.

You would probably know better then me The point as I said (and you reinforce) original ideas are rare these day because of the status of what has been told. Its really what you do with those used ideas that define a show.

That episode was the best one yet. I get chills when I realized that Destiny was actually being refueled inside the star.

Amazing show guys, keep it up!

[Nemises]

This episode was better than the last...although it picked up pace halfway through.

[Shan Bruce Lee]

Its a bit early for her to be comfortable around him like that (remember at this point they have only known each other for a few days).

She didn't invite him in, she had him standing guard.

I agree with your comment on how the writers used ideas that define a show.

Some of Stargate SG-1's best episodes are recycled ideas/plots/themes.

For example:

Tangent is Apollo 13.
Windows of Opportunity is Groundhog Day.

Where'd you get that?

I enjoyed this episode, although I had issues with the 'twist' being so dang predictable. I mean, I think everyone here knew at the end of Darkness that Destiny was going to use the sun to recharge itself.

You know, I thought I would be bothered by that and I really wasn't. The point of the episode wasn't how the ship powered up, but how different people dealt differently with knowing they were about to die. Also how they dealt with the lottery.

cant wait to see chole get airlocked

[Spimman]

The difference is SG1 and SGA were teams chosen of the best of the best, not a rag tag group of stranded people who don't even really want to be there (other than Rush).

I personally hope to see Scott airlocked

.

and on a completely unrelated note (and something thats been bugging me)

i still dont understand how people can truly say that any of the "sexing up" is out of character for anyone. from what we have seen this is a show that's far more adult and well...real, for lack of a better word. Scott or James or Chloe for that matter having sex doesnt make them "sex addicts" or "horny adolescents" it makes them human on show that seems to be focusing on humanity. if you dont like it to watch it, but dont go so far as to say its poor or lazy writing. so far SGU has been, with the exception of a few minor missteps, excellently written and executed

Well, maybe it's that many sci-fi geeks don't get laid so they think people having sex is unrealistic?

[Shan Bruce Lee]

which is why I hope some follow up to the rushness of sex is explored. Like when she finds out Lt. James. I will probably hurt Chloe in umimaginable ways

Is that a threat or a typo?
