What's all this gay talk? I deleted the episode because it kind of sucked (though not as bad as most of this season) but McKay said her when describing the rescued medic.
Thats what I heard too. Her. Definately.

I thought the episode was really bad ass tho. Loved it. Even smiled at the Vegas/CSI/Death inside the body bits.
 
Ah, but how many times has he actually had sex with a woman on this series? Ever? (Geeze, I can't actually recall when it might have happened.)

Why upset the show's childish sense of sexuality by actually showing the deed when you can just have your lead galavanting around in episodes like "Travelers?"
 
Prolly one of my favorite scenes was during the end shoot-out, the A-10s came in, guns-a-blazing turning the silver bullet into scrap metal. Always nice to see Warthogs in action!

I saw a couple doing a flyby over Portland once. I'm like, "hmmm. That ain't right"

Well it is a family show and few sci-fi shows actually have sex scenes we never saw Kirk in bed with a woman either for that matter. Still I thought this line in Remnants was pretty bold of them.

CONRAD: I'm a physical manifestation of your subconscious romantic and sexual ideals.

I thought it was kind of rare to see that kind of dialogue on a Stargate show. And I really don't think Shep was in closet.
 
Kirk had the restrictions of 1960s television codes of self-censorship. Stargate: Atlantis doesn't, although I can buy the explanation that it is a family show (even if sexuality on the series is often that of adolescent boys' imaginations).

I agree that Shep wasn't in the closet, though. That kind of revelation wouldn't have made sense given what we've seen before.
 
So it was okay then that hero Shep was heterosexual and the murderous cash taking inept loser Shep was homosexual? I suppose any mention for a special interest group is good press.

AFAIK, alt-Sheppard's supposed homosexuality was fan speculation and thus not worth drawing any conclusions about. There was certainly nothing in the episode to confirm or deny it.

I think you've read enough of the thread now to realize a few of us misheard the word. To us there was something in the episode to confirm it. :)
 
You know you have a very twisted idea of what Shep fangirls are like :lol:, outside of the shippers who can't cope with anything threatening their OTP Nancy was actually pretty well received. Apparently TPTB planned on bringing her back with an eye to rekindling their relationship but never got the chance.

Yeah, yeah - they've probably all got cats named "Shep" too. :p

Nah! Shep's a dog's name.
 
Nah! Shep's a dog's name.

But Sheppard's fans aren't really dog people, so they compromise. It does cause problems for them sometimes. Sometimes the cat knocks over the candles and all the photos in the shrine catch fire. :rommie:
 
^You know I'm starting to think you're in denial, you really do seem to be obsessing over this. :p

You know me, any opportunity to take the piss out of the Shep. It's not my fault the head of his fan club is Eleanor Abernathy. :D

(Oh just Google it!!!)

Seriously, though, I don't have a problem with Joe Flanigan. I think his character is written as an idiot too often and sometimes I question the motives behind that.
 
Just watched it on Sky. It had it's good moments, but I think we've had better.

Don't much care for the current "Sponsors Scifi" adverts though:(

Grrr, I usually tape the frakkin' episode too. The one time I don't is the time when I'd want to go back and listen. Wasn't McKay the one who was talking about the medic? I wonder if Hewlett slurred the pronoun just to frak with us. :rommie:

Okay fine, he's not gay. Moving on...

In fact, I'd like Sheppard more if he did sleep with her... and didn't call her.
Nah Shep would call her first thing next morning to beg for more. He's such a whore. Maybe for the movie?
^He schnozed the princess from The Tower.
The fact that "schnozz" is a slang term for "nose" makes this comment more interesting than you realize...

I personally was very pro-Larren and thought the stuff with Shep was refreshingly edgy instead of the usual boring white-bread Stargate approach to everything, especially sex.
few sci-fi shows actually have sex scenes
It's common enough nowadays. BSG, Farscape, Lost and Heroes for starters.

^You know I'm starting to think you're in denial, you really do seem to be obsessing over this. :p
Yeah, and he's madly in love with Peter Petrelli, too. :rommie:
 
I caught that the medic was a woman straight away, and immediately wondered if it was this universes Dr Weir.
 
I gave this a 'bad' rating on Friday night, but I just rewatched it and I have to say I enjoyed it so much more the second time. With the exception of the Sopranos guy's idiotic 'finger' discussion, I think this has become one of my favorite episodes of the season.
I think it would have been interesting to see who was the Atlantis military leader in this universe though. It would have been awesome to bring back Robert Patrick for a cameo as Colonel Sumner, he could have taken some of Rodney's dialogue at Area 51. Although I'm sure they probably would have just rolled in Lorne.
 
I thought the wraith have known where earth was for a long while, wasnt a hive ship on the way when SG1 was taking care of the Ori?

In fact didnt they end up colliding the bad guy ships to take care of both problems?
