Chloe to become the "Kenny of SGU"?

[Aeyame]

I know I cheered for a moment when she died, but then I became bummed as I realized she wouldn't stay dead. I hate her. It has nothing to do with her uselessness, it's her personality.

I think that Chloe's role is to allow a social aspect of younger women to be explored in this particular scenario.

We've had geeks on sci-fi forever, but how many beautiful young women have we had the privilege of understanding, ESP. in a sci-fi environment!

Regardless of her "usefulness", her perspectives and reactions to situations are still reflective of the type of women that she represents.

I think you nailed it right on the head. Yes Chloe is useless and that is the point. Its to show what would happened if an everyday person was stranded on the Destiny. How would we react and how would we contribute?

I think an everyday person would do just the same as they would do in a crisis here on earth, say a hurricane or tornado, they would pitch in and help out, not find the nearest guy and make out.
Chloe is more inept than the average person, she takes up space and resources. IMO

Thats a lot easier in a hurricane where you know how to help out. Here not so much

Hey she could be washing sheets, heaven knows hers need some washing. Or helping in the kitchen washing dishes, but no, she meanders around, taking showers and drooling over Scott.

I think by calling her the average person, it's an insult to average people everywhere who rally in a crisis.

[Commander Zelix]

If Chloe dies whats going to provide the soapy stuff for the show? Oh wait, they still can have a love triangle between TJ, Young and his wife. Throw in Telford for good measure. The show is saved.

Ok, we've got 8 45-minute episodes out of a 4-6 week timeframe. Who's to say she doesn't do stuff to help out and they're just not showing it?

[Eternal Density]

some people here are Chloe fans despite the fact that her character is a rich snotty girl that would gladly sell her arm and a leg to be out of that ship and back at her 90210, The OZ social kind of life back on Earth.

To suggest that she desperately wants to return to that life shows a lack of understanding for the character.
Also, why do you say 'despite' as if it's a bad thing?

Agreed.

It's possible she does help, but as far as her role in the main story lines, it makes her look useless. Her only role is being in a love triangle with Eli and Scott. Which just makes her look more and more pathetic because she's just there for drama. Why doesn't the IOA chick show up more in the same situations that Chloe does? They can contribute the same amount, except the IOA chick doesn't cause drama.

I don't agree with that statement.

[Jack_Bauer]

I don't agree with that statement.

Ditto. She's far more than that. She's an example of someone who has no skills relevant to the running of the Destiny (to date). Her character reflects what most of us would be like if stuck on the Destiny, an intelligent young uni graduate, whose skills, while important in human society which we have created here on Earth is all but useless in the running of the Destiny.

While she is by no means my favourite character, I can relate to her more than any other. I myself am doing a degree in the social studies field, which isn't a huge stretch from what Chloe has done in Political Science.

She is by no means there ONLY to be in a love triangle. That's just what fandom has concentrated on.

Well if they do ever run across some alien civilization her skills might be of use after all.

[jcainhaze]

I want a Chloe dart-board.

[ewnif]

I blame SGA for this.

I blame TPTB for this. Chloe must go!
