Thoughts on the opening scene

[The Swarm]

That was one of the most lustful sex scenes i ever saw on TV...Lt. Hoot---James outdid herself.

And people still wonder why she isnt over him yet!

[Confessor Rahl]

I thought it was actually much more explicit (I use the term relatively, as neither scene was particularly so) than Air. Like, by a huge margin. I was actually taken aback a bit, and thought it was completely unnecessary. This is coming from someone who is a staunch defender of the Air scene.

[The Swarm]

I loved it becouse it was verry energetic aand it build up nicely to the killing scene!
Also i loved the music !

I thought I had accidentally been re-directed to red tube when the opening scene played on my laptop.

HAHA.!!!

So im not the only one who thought it was a tad over the top. Even an air scene defender agrees with me. :

I liked it. Reminded me of those scenes in BSG. I actually found a few similarities between SGU and BSG.

Amy or River?

i meant my real life honeymoon.

I didn't find it over the top at all. Then again, I do watch Spartacus Blood and Sand, so I don't think there's much of anything they could do that I would consider over the top. But more about the scene I think it shows that what she wants is a more physical thing, not a "love" that he has with Chloe. And yes, beautiful way to build up to the death scene. Also, a good attempt at trying to get us to continue to believe that maybe it wasn't a hallucination with Greer and Eli.

yeah dude I love porn and I love Stargate. I just never expected them to join my two great loves.

Kind of like that old ep of the Simpsons where Homer gets out the 'Nuts n Gum....together at last'

The scene in Air was fine by my standards, not really much to see and it was over pretty quick from memory. This one was fairly full on and although there wasn't actuallly any boob or balls on display, it wouldn't have been very appropriate for those under 14ish I woudn't have thought.

I had no problem with the scene, course I have zero problem with sex or nudity. In my mind it showed the strong emotions that Lt. James has for Scott, and it helped make her hitting him in the head all the more powerful.

I would have liked for it to have been real, so I would have a vailed reason to not like Scott. But no, I saw no problem with the scene.

[MattSilver 3k]

Scene was fine. Thought it was great that Scott was basically fulfilling the role dislikers of his character have given him (man-whore), and the whole scene was very sort-of... primal. Sex followed by man beating up on woman followed by woman killing man. Fun all around.

[Jeffala]

...man beating up on woman followed by woman killing man...

And good for her. That's the way man beating up on woman should be followed. Of course, man defending self and throwing woman to the ground isn't quite the same thing as beating her up but let's not quibble.

Meh. I'm not much for exact terminology.

Am I the only one that found it funny that the same producers re-released SG-1's Children of the Gods without the nudity scene, but are continuing to produce SGU with suggestive sex scenes?

Not really, because SGU is a different show and also because suggestive sex scenes are not "as bad" as full frontal nudity, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to air it (note: that's just how the network sees it, I'm not claiming either way). If I remember correctly, TPTB didn't want the nude scene in CotG because they felt it didn't fit with the show. But SGU and SG1 are pretty tonally and thematically different, so it isn't necessarily the case that they'd follow all of the same guidelines, per say.
