I remember this episode striking up some controversay. Some people went as far to say that Young committed rape and Chloe was using Eli. The first one while definatly morally questionable I do not think it was rape. Granted it was most likely wrong to have Young have intercourse with Emily while he was in Telford's body but I think rape is a little far. As for Chloe using Eli I never could comprehend that. I do not think she really knew Eli had a crush on her. She was kind of oblvious with her own personal problems. Understandable given the circumstance. Nor do I think it is selfish as Eli never says anything. As for Eli I really liked the scene with his mother. Even if he did not tell who he was it was still interesting to see him try to connect with his mother. Finally their is the ship itself and the plan. Can we trust Rush or did he fake the thing to stay on Destiny? That is utlimately the problem. He has mantipulated people so many times it is hard to believe Rush when he says something will not work. Rush has shown how he cares about himself first it is hard to take his word. So while we learn he is right the plan would not work it is understandable to me why Young would want to spy on him. He is untrustworthy. At least for now.Originally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

I loved this episode. Going back to Earth and just really seeing how people cope with being back, but not truly return.
Later episodes of SGU (maybe second season) stated that the people sign over rights to their body and allow whoever takes over to do as they please.
So Telford knew that Young could potentially have sex with his own wife when Young used the stones to go to Earth.
I also really liked how they showed that each person was different to outside perspectives, but as the audience we knew/saw who was who.

A lot of talk about the stones. I understand the controversy, but for the story to develop, the writers did an excellent job.
I actually liked how they were used extensively, and I thought it was a pretty "funny" glitch...
I like the way SGU is more serious than SGA and SG1, and yet there is still the funny moments i like so much. Kudos to the actors and writers on this one.
I also loved the Eli/Chloe talk in the car. She's adorable when she's drunk...

Originally posted by CarrieAnn View PostI think it was worse for the woman who Chloe swapped bodies with. She got really drunk so the poor woman would come back to a stonking hangover.
I also thought it was odd that Emily (?) would have sex with Young in a different man's body. Ewwwwww!
There's also a Kino-episode about that, btw.
