Was I the only one?

[Pharaoh Atem]

she is one of my favorite character. i really thought she was dead for a second.

i like that TJ interrupted eli to say she was dead. that's what made the moment so believable

[escyos]

i liked how everyone died..all bloody and nasty like, its a nice change to getting shot in the back with a staff weapon

[Pharaoh Atem]

i like how eli's death affected scott

[Col.Foley]

i like how eli's death affected scott

As did I

[Pharaoh Atem]

eli is like the person enjoy having around and care about but never say it openly. thus scott's reaction

I became a little afraid of Scott in the moment...

brain did wonderful he reacted like a normal person would.

I also liked the reaction when the Eli on the message revealed his fears about his Mom. Then Scott tried...in some small way...to comfort him. I think Eli and Scott could be, and are, very good friends. Despite the snark that passes between them.
Honestly though, that is a bit worrisome. I think the most obvious Stargate- Stargate Universe comparison is the Eli/ Scott, and the Shep/ McKay, relationship. I like it so far, but it could be a bit too similar for many people's tastes....

I thought the scene was a bit cliched....but on the other hand it is more of an indication like what Young said:

Spoiler:

That he had a heart as big as a house.

[Pharaoh Atem]

everyone is protective of eli due to the fact that he's a normal everyday person who just figured out a math proof

Yeah but we did not see Young rushing over to give him a back thump

[Khentkawes]

copy cat

Haha. Not intentionally.

I do not think I would ever be happy that a main character died, unless they were plain evil or something. Like Telford....Telford is the only character that I might be happy to see die...or be in pain...or something.

I wouldn't mind Telford being written out of the show somehow... but even with characters that I dislike, I don't actually rejoice to see them killed off. I just kind of shrug and move on.

But there are those of us on the other side that see a charecter like Chloe with the most possibilities. She's essentially a blank slate who's had her entire life and everything she is invalidated by her circumstances. She doesn't even have a set of transferable skills.

Agreed. She has a lot of potential.

That's the problem with TV, unfortunately: everyone feels like they have to like every character. Chloe does bring a lot of emotional and unnecessary baggage to the show, but life has a lot of emotional and unnecessary baggage and it would be too cliche if all of these people weren't that way. That's kind of the point of the whole show. These people are normal people with normal baggage. Get over it.

Completely agree. I'm tired of characters who seem to have everything all together. Sure, sometimes I get irritated with Chloe (or Eli, or Young) because of their emotional baggage, but it is more realistic. All people (in real life) have issues, and I have never met a real person who didn't get on my nerves now and then. So I don't have a problem with characters who are occasionally irritating or how occasionally act stupid, as long as they are still interesting to watch.

I also liked the reaction when the Eli on the message revealed his fears about his Mom. Then Scott tried...in some small way...to comfort him. I think Eli and Scott could be, and are, very good friends. Despite the snark that passes between them.

That was a very nice moment between the two of them.

Yeah I know. It gets hectic in here
I know, and I would not be happy seeing him die too...I like Lou Diamond Phillips too. I just want to see him move on...and I think he could easily be written out of the show given his behavior. Talk about a terrible expedition leader

I think, like all the characters so far, there is just more to him than we've seen. I don't mean in terms of agenda or motives but....we seem to get snippets of people's personality and often there seems to be a jumping to conclusions about their motivations that often get belied by following episodes. I have a hunch that Gen. O'Neill does not suffer incompetence under his command lightly so I would think that Telford has his position for a very good reason but we need to let it develop to see how it will flesh out

Jack his human...he can make mistakes, and has done so in the past. And I am sure Telford is very good at his job, and has a fantastic record. Its just....

Spoiler:

it is clear that he holds some sort of personal vendetta/ grudge against Young...and a lot of other people, given how he treated Rush and Greer when he came on board. He just does not let people get away with messing with him....
my opinion anyways

But other then that you are rigt, I am sure that there is a lot more to him
