Trivial Stuff They Don't Have On the Destiny Which Would Be A Problem

Re: Trivial Stuff They Don't Have On the Destiny Which Would Be A Prob

Odds are that SGU will use offscreen planet stops to cover the bits that are necessities, but are too boring to make us watch (like make-your-own-toothpaste).

But, then they couldn't bitch about how boring the episode is.

See, it's a win-win for them. They get to bitch cuz "it's not real enough" or they get to bitch cuz it's boring.

Some people are just going to bitch because they're miserable people and have miserable lives.

Your post was both boring and insufficiently detailed.

Damn my conciseness and inability to embellish. :scream:

In fairness, anything they could make from raw materials they should be able to make - after all, the stones give them the ability to pop back and check Wikipedia if unsure, so they don't need to conveniently brought along someone who knows how to make toothpaste from Furling droppings.

Seriously, I've no problem with the actors taking a shower and brushing their teeth everyday.

Regular chiropractic or osteopathic treatment: I know plenty of people at the age of the crew we've seen on Destiny so far that prefer, or need, regular rearrangement of their bone structure to stay comfortable.
Those people are freaks.

They need that guy from that early DS9 episode that was chasing Odo and calling him,"FREeak!"

So then, are we going to assume Ancient toilets can cleanse one's ass, therefore helping them deal with the lack of toilet paper?

Maybe they have the 3 sea shells that Stallone couldn't figure out.

Unfortunately for Scott & Greer, destiny doesn't appear to have a vulgularity ticket machine. :lol:

It could be assumed that Ancient tech is high up on keeping your regular Ancients squeaky-cleand and fragrant.

The showers aren't water-based, iirc, and maybe there's a built-in spray-on deodorant.

As for bum washing... well, yeah, it's possible, and I don't want to be more graphic than they'll EVER be! :)

As for thing slike iPods and stuff they have, keep in mind they just grabbed stuff and ran, packs were grabbed randomly and shoved through the gate too. They'll have a real mish-mash.

What they're going to need real soon is food and washing machines. And a way to make ammo for their weapons (which they seem to use each ep).

Medicines will be a problem.

Anyone know if they're going to run into bumpy-heads, or will it be just them?

Can't believe you guys haven't mentioned broadband as one of the requirements! ;)

If I was on Destiny, I just couldn't live without knowing what shoes my favourite celebrities back home were wearing; what they were eating; what they thought of the concert they went to; and of course, when Chuck is coming back. :p

Hell, Chloe could fire off a few bitchy tweets to her former-best friend, Thanks for stealing my man.......bitch!

^ Okay that's funny. :) And probably has some truth for the likes of Eli.

Actually, no. Aside from the Air three parter the only time they fired a weapon was Water

Anyone know if they're going to run into bumpy-heads, or will it be just them?

My understanding is that the aliens they enocunter are not going to be human-like at all.

That bald soldier who was hording the protein bars had something in a prescription bottle. Wonder what that was for.

Well if it was trivial and to be ignored they would not have shown it, unless the props department is as incompetent as the Destiny Airmen, scientist and VIP's kid. I suppose Medicine is an upcoming episode.

There's a commercial I'd like to see:

"You ever get that...not-so-ascended feeling?" :D

Actually he did explain it once. Trust me, you'll thank me for putting this in spoilercode:

OK, this may be bordering on the grotesque, but the way it was explained to me by the writer is you hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape what’s left with the third. You asked for it…. Be careful what you ask for, sorry.

Linky

You HAVE been warned. :eek:

As far as prescription medicine one would think they would screen the military folks to keep them from going off world with medical condition that requires ongoing treatment. The civilians might be similar but if they are essential then they would send them with a couple months supply with them. The one thing I can think of is vitamins and minerals after the food supplies run out it could turn ugly with scurvy or rickets. Cleaning supplies such as kits to clean weapons and house keeping.
 
Re: Trivial Stuff They Don't Have On the Destiny Which Would Be A Prob

Mr. Laser Beam, you have forever destroyed my 3 sea shell futuristic image of ass wiping.
 
Re: Trivial Stuff They Don't Have On the Destiny Which Would Be A Prob

^ Well, it seems obvious that it could never work as Stallone described it. No one would ever willingly do that to themselves. I thought he was just having a bit of fun.

I always assumed that the seashells put out some kind of sonic waves which cleaned you. Kind of like Trek's "sonic shower".

Oh yeah, something like that is definitely better than 3 shit covered sea shells afterward. I always thought of them as buttons for a device.
 
Re: Trivial Stuff They Don't Have On the Destiny Which Would Be A Prob

^ Plus, the way the characters joked about "wadded up rolls of paper" implied that it was considered highly improper to actually touch any part of your body - or at least your ass - while you cleaned it.

I have also wondered, though, if using 'sonic' cleaning devices would actually work. Trek's sonic showers, for example. Those things may get the dirt off you, but what about the smell? The sweat? Does sound kill those, too? I can't see ANYTHING topping a nice, hot shower in terms of making you feel good and clean.
