'Sabotage' (116) General Discussion

[blackluster]

The question seems to be then, should one consider the ability to realize/manifest someone else's vision as art?

1. Yes, Sam and/or McKay would have been better choices to fix the hyperdrives but let's face it - Rush was biased.

2. Sex during a bodyswap - we've talked about this already FCOL!

3. The lost three getting to return like that was slightly flukey and brushed under the carpet to a large extent - not the writers finest hour.

4. Maddy was a cool enough character - can't blame Eli for being surprised she was into Rush though.

5. Have a feeling we won't have heard the last of these aliens though.

What sex scene was that?

What sex scene was that?

Young had sex with his wife in Telford's body...

We don't really know what Wray did in her bodyswap.

But yes...its been discussed in several threads.

The post was about Sabotage and I don't recall a sex scene in it.

man, I think I'm getting ripped off. Everyone elses' versions of these episodes have all this lovely sex that I'm missing.

Yup, not their finest hour. I feel that it was an excellent opportunity for something really interesting that was completely wasted. And actually did a disservice to the fans.

In a continuing storyline, whether or not a scene is a wasted opportunity depends on whether they do something with it later. I was hoping they'd have something in Pain about the return but apparently not.

I don't understand how the stranded crew just suddenly dials back into Destiny. Can someone explain that to me? Why was it so easy? That was like the biggest climax killer I've ever seen. Did I miss something?

I think the short answer is, Destiny dropped out of FTL, she was still in range of the planet where they were stranded, Destiny's gate address popped up on Eli's dialling device and they...dialed...home. I think.
Still a bit of an anticlimax, though.

That's how I worked it out too...but you're right about the anticlimax

Answer: No plans to address this. When Destiny dropped out of FTL as a result of the sabotage, it was still within range of the planet and popped up on the remote. Seeing this, Eli dialed and secured a connection.

Meh...still an anti-climax...

Yes, I thought they'd do much more with this since the blues turned up there so neatly.
