SG-U – Hope - (2x14) - (Discuss – Grade | SPOILERS)

[bullethead]

The intros for the show have always dwelled on the most random aspects of previous episodes. Young confessing he killed Riley just goes up there with:

-Wray: "Rush and Young are bumping heads. Not sure which is the better option."

-Wray: "You shouldn't have left him on that planet."
Young: "You think I don't know that?"

-Scott: "I'm telling you, this ship came here for a reason!"

Those aren't nearly as annyoing as the juxtaposition from the season 1 opening sequence:

(I paraphrase)
Rush: "We're several billion lightyears from home"
Scott:"We are on a ship, but we have no idea where we are in relation to Earth."

WTF, he just TOLD us!

Huh, I thought that they had Scott's line before Rush's. Anyway, I like the old recap music better than the new stuff that seems to not be there. The music is one of the few consistently good things about this show, so it's a bit sad to see them slip up every now and then.

I've been saying since almost day one, that TJ ought to have been enrolled, via the stones, in medical school, or at least an accelerated program via the best docs that SGC has to offer. She should be gone at least full time learning how to really be a doctor. They could always yank her back at the first sign of trouble.

Now the two biggest nerds on the ship are finally able to literally date a computer. Online dating has reached a whole new level.

Did the writers learn of the cancellation in time to make a finale that resolves some of the loose threads?

 

[KJbushway]

TJ would only be able to learn the basics. What I mean is that it would be like reading a medical book, that is how she would learn. Its not her body, those aren't her hands. While she might find it easy to work in that body when it came time to actually do it with her own hands there might be a mind block.

No, filming was done of the latter half of S2 when the notice came down.

I really doubt that. I don't recall us ever seeing anyone acting clumsy in another person's body. I'm betting the stones make up for size and shape differences between bodies. Also, the cerebellum (which controls coordination 'memory') would probably get updated in the physical body just like the 'regular' memory centers of the brain have to be in order to recall what happened while swapped.

Nor would a stone-based medical education be much different than a regular medical education, except she couldn't bring her notes home to study on Destiny at night. TJ would probably be able to finish medical training early, as the SGC would likely have been able to pair her up one-on-one with the best and the brightest physicians and surgeons, rather than make her work for it in a class of 100. They could probably skip over (or postpone) a lot of the native Earth conditions that nobody on Destiny had. I think she'd be able to become a full M.D. within a couple of years at that rate.

 

[KJbushway]

^ why not have a doctor come teacher her on destiny. This way she could take notes. And when she needed to pratice on a dummy, she could then use the communications stones. This way if she was needed on Destiny, she could act faster.

Finally, a music-related scene on SGU that wasn't a retarded, pointless montage! It was dang funny, too. All in all, a good ep. Season 2.5 is better than I expected.

 

[arch101]

After this ep, the show's cancellation moves from sad to tragic. This show SO doesn't deserve to be offed after the complete crap we've been and are subjected to. I'll really miss it.
As for Greer seeming unrealistic, the military people I personally know would risk their lives in a second for a civilian or each other, so his actions seemed to me to be right on. In fact, unusually right on for TV. Good work, writers!

 

[KJbushway]

I don't know maybe they will make an animated series about it.
Or is that even a possibility?

 

[The Wormhole]

SGU simply isn't popular enough for any sort of continuation to be viable. Hell, since the cancellation announcement, ratings are getting even lower than they were before. Atlantis had higher ratings when it ended, and the only sort of continuation it's getting is a novel series. SGU will be lucky to get even that.

 

[timothy]

they should do a 3rd season but in novel form .

 

[KJbushway]

I would like that to happen. Books are cheaper.

 

[timothy]

^ you don't read a lot do you ? ^

 

[KJbushway]

I am saying that instead of buying a animated series DVD, buying a book series would be easier.

 

[timothy]

well then yes that would be cheaper .
