Thoughts on the opening scene

[Major_Griff]

now there's an image

Indeed!

[Coronach]

Well, I took a nap before SGU and woke up 5 minutes into "Pain", meaning I only saw up to the point where Scott was lying on the ground and James was crying in her bed. So I never did see the scene, but if it was anything like "Air" then I'd imagine I'd find nothing wrong with it in particular.

I'm definitely in the camp that thought it was important to show the intensity to appreciate what came after.

Also I'm in the camp that thanks sex happens in real life, the show is trying to portray real people, therefore it doesn't feel out of place.

I agree.

He said that people who were offended by the broom closet scene, will be clawing their eyes out because of what they had in store for 1.5. He was talking about "Pain".

Still I found it much less graphic and "offending" than the scene in air. Does anyone feel the same?

[KEK]

I didn't think either of them were graphic, they really can't do graphic sex scenes on Syfy, and I certainly don't see anything offensive about them either.

[JustAnotherVoice]

I'm just disappointed it all turned out to be a hallucenation. It would have been nice for James to get some closure on the relationship, one way or another.

The sex scenes haven't bothered me at all, so can't say whether it's less offending or not.

Another useless love scene that doesnt further the plot. They couldve shown a view of the window and slowly panning til you just see the two laying on their back exhausted.

FYI, if theyre gonna show Brian J Smith topless every other episode, then i request they do the same with the girls, pick one, i dont care.

I would have liked a less IN YOUR FACE scene, but I didn't find anything wrong with the one we got. It made the end result that much more of a "WHOA!" moment.

It fit with the plot, but seeing as some other people were in the room....

[Jeffala]

Must have been cold in that room...

[ZGoten]

That was certainly one hell of a hallucination.

[Save Chloe]

My wife doesn't watch SGU at all, and when the open scene began, she walked into the room and said "WTF are you watching!". I told her I thought I was watching Stargate:Universe. By the way, I think the scene was tastefully done, and it was a nice setup to the story.

[Astrofighter]

One knows how the scene would have gone if Stargate was still on showtime!

[wargrafix]

Annnnd Lt james (can't say her OTHER name) wants to be respected in the morning. Fat chance of that happening. She is whiny and annoying.

[gotthammer]

I thought it was ok.

But is it weird that I couldn't help myself from laughing when Scott hit the ground and blood came out?
