Didn't they have a prior relationship or am I just making things up? I have all the episodes but I don't want to go back and watch it all. If that's not the case then I guess she has been confiding and seeking comfort in the Lt. but they didn't show all that.

When the Lt. got back from the desert planet Chloe came to see him, but that's all I remember hearing/seeing about a relationship. Poor Eli, after the last episode, I thought he'd get the girl.

I appreciate the pacing and the slow build, though it seems like a bad idea if you want to keep the average viewer watching. Especially with how action oriented Stargate has been. I also hope to Hell it pays off.
There's a lot of good potential in the series, potential in the characters, and just all around potential. But then, most shows that build on the promise of payoff do not, in fact, do so. Just being realistic. |

I'm just glad it hasn't settled down into a "planet of the week" format. Yet.

Yeah but it's so slow that you kind of wished it did.

It is pretty slow. I still like it enough to watch it though. I'm just wondering when Dr. Rush is going to stop being such a douche-bag. It seems like they're really trying to make him into this show's version of Dr. Gaius Baltar.

It's getting dirty with all the different relationships. I have feeling that one guy is going to sleep with Young's ex-wife and pretend its him.

I think Eli is going to use that flying video recorder to scrounge up good masturbation material.

That must be something to wake up mid-orgasm back in your own body with a beautiful naked woman riding you.

My girlfriend has watched all the other SG shows, and so she was excited when this started. I didn't really have any interest, but I am absolutely hooked now. Really anxious to see where this business with Telford impersonating Young is going to wind up.

Episode 8 "Time" was pretty tasty.

Time was easily the best episode so far.
I'm not normally a fan of the Blair Witch/Cloverfield "shaky cam" deal, but the style supplemented the story of the episode. As opposed to being a gimmick set up to disguise a shitty story. |

Well she is the medic and I guess it's her nature as well to be like that. Then there's the fact that she was leaving the military so she was really close to becoming just a civilian again.

She's still too vanilla for my taste. I get the character, but there's nothing that really distinguishes her in any meaningful sense.

Boards on IMDB have a lot of people thinking Time was a letdown and Life being a much better episode. I disagree. I think it's the other way around especially since I thought there was going to be a conclusion in the most recent episode but there was like no mention of the previous episode at all. This episode was more for character development and drama but would be nice if they threw in something too to.

I dare say the whole thing from "Time" will come back for the season finale or whatever mid-season break you have on the other side of the pond.
It was good to see Telford getting his arse handed to him at the end of the episode. I can see that bald airforce man going psycho and taking out a number of the people on Destiny before blowing himself away. |

I'd do the same thing. A man that tried to take over your position that is now making buddies with your ex-wife and you're billions of light years away on a spaceship that may never come back you would feel really helpless. Telford made a lot of dick moves lately.

I also think they need to move the Destiny into a more active role quick, because they've painted much of the structure of the show into a corner. It's a Space Action Franchise, and right now we've got space, but minimum action. Time had action and storytelling. We learned as much about the characters in Time without the deliberate and forced introduction of these elements. |

Its pissing me off having to wait another week for the next episode. I was hoping to put off doing some assignment work, but US tv has thwarted my attempts at laziness.

Holy shit with Rush and Young at the end. I dare say Rush will return at the end of the series in that alien space ship.
Another good episode. They've definitely hit their stride now. |

It will be interesting to see what Rush does. I think everyone at least on the military side trusts Young and like Rush said, I don't believe he's the right guy to lead them. I never liked him from the beginning. I didn't like Greer either but I don't know. I think I'm okay with him now.

I think Rush is going to come back as a super-villain type now. :/
Talk about cliff-hanger season finales. |

I dunno. if they do that to Rush then i think it will spoil the character.
The ambiguity of Rush's character is probably the strongest element of the series. |

So, what are people's thoughts at the end of the first season? They definitely got their shit together for the second half of the season, and they ended on a strong note. Looking forward to the next season.
But...DAMN CLIFFHANGERS! |

I didn't like the whole Lucian alliance thing. Trying to take over the ship by force, things get dramatic blah blah blah.
