All TV shows and movies have scenes and plot points that aren't absolutely essential, yet people only complain about sex not being necessary. Why is that?
SG-U – Sabotage (1x16) - (Discuss – Grade | SPOILERS)

Usually because they're the most obvious.
We are damned if we do and damned if we don't. If they include sex scenes then they're only put them in for us "fanboys" who can't get a real woman.
If we ask them not to then we're all repressed according to judgemental types who think they're better than others and have the right to tell them how to live.
Re: SG-U
I would say this arguements premise is wrong its not about sex but about rape. In a SF writers way someone thought it might be cool to have sex even though our people were cut off. Then the backlash came and IMHO the case was made that you were also seeing sex without consent, rape.

Anyone, except for science fiction fans....
Re: SG-U
I agree, but as has been discussed, it was apparently the backlash from fans on Gateworld that caused the plot of this episode to be altered and heavily watered down.
If this show is going to have sex scenes involving characters using the stones then it has to explore that properly.
What if, for instance, Character X uses someone else's body to visit his girlfriend ? No problem, right ? What if Character X and his girlfriend are in to BDSM and when the other guy gets his body back he finds whip marks all over his back and his anus feels like something has been inserted in to it ?
What if the obviously devout Christian Lt. Scott has to give a mission report and, in the meantime, the guy walking around in his body decides to visit his boyfriend who he hasn't seen since he got stuck on Destiny ?

It would probably make for a more interesting story if someone was permanently injured during the course of a body swap--catching a fatal illness, losing a limb, something like that. It would take something pretty severe to make the brass come down on the use of the stones for recreation.
They have - the G'aould Sarcophagus technology healed ALL human injury and extended the 'life' of a human body (back in the SG-1 days Daniel used one for weeks); but they found that extended use started causing mental abhoration; and that's probably contruted to the G'aould's overall meglomania; so it was an 'ancient's' tech that they couldn't 'work the bugs out of'.
Well, to be fair, they claimed that they wanted to go farther with Cain and Gina, since they had the unrated DVD to play with. The trouble was, all the Cain scenes in "Razor" were flashbacks from Shaw's perspective, and it just seemed a little odd that Shaw would've had the chance to see her C.O. getting it on.

Yes, but Thirteen as a character has been accused of being nothing more than pandering to the male viewers as well.
This is not a view I share, by the way.

Also, count me as another person who finds the lesbian scenes tedious (and to be robbed of any chance of lesbo sex due to the hosts disability, sheesh). For that matter, most of the on-Earth scenes are insipid. Wish those cursed stones never saw the light of day.

Blades going dull is a good question, but they do have the recharge station that can probably keep the item fully charged up.
Yep...apparently so.
That's going to be tough when the Stargate itself looks like a huge gaping vagina!
It's the fact that the issue seems to have been avoided due to the complaints from a few people on Gateworld that's the problem.
Yet they're still copping out here. They still haven't properly explored the idea of using someone else's body for sex.

That would be Dr. Rush saying, no? As opposed to Eli saying no and Rush saying yes.

The anticlimactic end to the Eli/Chloe/Scott thing bugged me, but I really loved the scenes with Rush and with TJ/Young. I'm actually VERY excited about the next episode. I've been backing them up on my DVR, but I'll probably watch Friday's episode on time.
