And even if you're right, that this episode shows us that SCott does feel that way.. then it's really stupid, because they wasted a whole episode to tell us that Scott feels he's a manwhore. You could have have told us that using a plot that actually took place on the real SG universe, as opposed to one that takes place in Boringsville. Oh, as a writer myself, let me share this tip: Don't take a chapter to tell to the readers something that could be done just as effectively in one paragraph.
Oh, and if one more poster wants to point out how plot on SGU were done before on previous Stargate shows I might have to start pointing out how those previous Stargate shows had plots that were already covered on Star Trek, Sliders, B5, etc. So lets stop the pretense that the previous Stargate shows invented the wheel. All of these sci fi shows rely on storylines and elements that we have seen before. So what's left then is how they tell the stories. With all the problems I do have with SGU (and I have written some rants to JM on his blog), I do appreciate how they try to at least take a different approach to how they allow the story to play out.
