SGU 1x09 "Life" [SPOILERS]

Overheal

Looks good so far

User45701

you have to deal with adds dont you? - lol

Let us know if its worth staying up for plse

Overheal

Actiony as last week? No. Still good. I'll give it a 5. Pretty "Drama Much" but all the same this was a good ep.

These arent "Power Spoilers", but

Col. Young

When you see the fight against Telford, you may lol

Destiny

I got excited

Yes I deal with Ads. Particularly annoying sometimes.

Richard Dower

Not bad, kinda Greys dramedy for alot of it....yer wan banging everyone on the ship?....HOT lesbo scene!, Telford and Young....haha!, nice little plot device for him to find out....you think the wife was lying about not banging Telford?

Rush...still not figured him out, he's upto something alright. Chloe should just spend all her time working out!....Eli is still a garden gnome. Overall ok but not great, be nice if the ship got upto full strength and we saw more.

Overheal

Dont talk to me about gnomes

We just played through Dark Carnival and the guy holding the gnome got him into the chopper - but then he dropped him to throw a pipebomb. Gnome got left 4 dead.

Such a sad day.

anyway about the telford thing: I was so right.

He got knocked out cold, ha ha!

Stabshauptmann

pure and simple ****.

by all means use deep characters to make stargate better, but this isnt stargate. I saw

the chair

and got excited.

But there was no sci fi, no discoveries, no interesting ****, just more ****ing character **** on earth.

I am seriously disappointed with this show

somuj

I really wish somebody would take a sledge or a ray gun to those f**king stones earth scenes are just plain cringeworthy

Sherifu

Reiko Aylesworth - hot damn

Scott has a kid - Are we supposed to care?

Destiny has a nymphomaniac? - I want to be on the expedition!

The old chair and the row boat - Upstaging Universe actors since 2009

Spencer has run out of m&ms - Going full metal jacket on us

Telford getting his ass handed to him - Satisfying

Rush planting data? - It's RUSH....!

Psych evaluations - More fluff

Telford taking out his phone - He's calling them to disconnect the stones you idiot!!!!

Opening & closing scenes - Best thing about this episode

3/5

Mr E

3/5 for me too.... I'm all for drama, if it's interesting. There wasn't much interesting about this episode. Hopefully the Telford thing is over and done with now, its getting boring.

Snowie

oh come on when are the aliens and stuff going to come.

it started out great it just getting boreing, turn universe to dvd bring back atlantis.

Thats not nearly as fun as my explaination

herya

Anybody wondering where did they get all those nice tracksuits and trainers from?...

herya

Also they all sleep with people right and left in those borrowed bodies, why was it so bad when ** FUTURE EPISODE SPOILER **

Rush slept with someone in Wray's body

?

Leprachaun

The only episode I didn't really enjoy so far. Next weeks looks promising though.

Rush ...............

?

WTF, that wasnt in the episode?

herya

It's from a future episode, that's why it's spoiler tagged.

There was some backlash over this, google "stargate universe" + "eleanor perry" for articles.

Peace

I found that to be a bit of a yawn fest. I'm fine with them doing a slow burn but this nearly put the fire out for me.

Next ep better be a ripper....

Overheal

Halfway through I had to slap myself and remind meself this isnt SG-1 persay, and they want to try this Character Thing...I did enjoy it after that.

Trying to think of it as a Classic Stargate franchise: yes, I can clearly see why people are getting frustrated. They can keep the fluff I dont care but that doesnt mean they cant discover a bunch of cool new ****. The Chair thing, so far, is a let down.

Que?

Bajingo

I thought they had found a weapons chair..then I remembered the whole this ship is actually an ancient ''ancients ship''. Slow mover it was. They're being to character heavy and I cant honestly see where going with this series. The bald dude is wrecking my head..

just jump already!

Just in case...but who knows!

Gave it a 4/5 but I meant to click 3/5.

PirateShampoo

It was a ok episode, nothing special. Does there have to be a sex scene every week?

Starting to get sick of the communication stones as well, i think they are over using them. I know they are going heavy on the character development but they are laying it on to thick at the momment.

Sherifu

One good thing to come out of this episode...

It's been too long since I listened to these guys, pleasantly surprised they popped up on SGU.
This is going on the iPod.

This thread is for discussion on this episode. Any spoilers in this thread should only relate to this episode. You didn't make it clear that it was for a future episode. This type of thing can send people round the bend. I'm not too fussed about it cause it's not a massive spoiler but please be careful when you do that.

herya

OK although I seem to recall reading the rule that since threads have SPOILERS in their title there is no need to spoiler tag current episode's events but you should spoiler tag anything that reaches further. Anybody care to clarify?...

The problem with that is some people still spoiler tag something that happened in this episode so we start reading spoilers thinking they are about this episode. If it's about a future episode please clearly mark it as so.

herya

Will do - cheers.

Overheal

I thought he did mark it Future Episode.

ixoy

It was.. okay. It was the dullest episode so far and I think they spent too much time on the earth scenes. It's nice to deepen the characters, but perhaps they could have just done one thread of "back on earth" for a character, rather than three.

The communication stones are a decent way to explore characters but I agree there is danger of overuse already. I'm going to hazard a guess that this is a budgetary move - it's cheap to film Earth scenes. We'd often see these "budget" episodes before a mid-season or season finale.

The chair wasn't delved into enough but perhaps it might be next week. Perhaps Rush is going to rouse up the rabble - he's certainly get Spencer on his side. I've a feeling Spencer is going to do something very rash next week. I'm also going to hazard a guess that Telford will be trying, somehow, to get revenge on Young next week and that he might try and support Rush's coup. All guesswork - I know nothing at all about what's going to happen!

herya wrote: »

Marked the current one for ya. Please be careful - I got a complaint about this and I had to then kinda read your spoiler to fix the post!

Overheal

Economic climate could easily explain away the need for a lot of Earth scenes. But - okay come on, I'd even take that Same Old Tired Forest that SG-1 ploughed through for 6 seasons right about now. Cant be that expensive to take a road trip!
