Shouldn't Eli be losing weight?

[AJ86]

Given that Eli is supposed to be growing up a bit due to the plot and his circumstances, I think it would have been a smart and interesting idea to help the actor lose some weight and have Eli's development mirror a growing adult self confidence.

He's the only one who is a possible second for Rush so would end up being a pretty critical team member in time. (We already see that for all Rush is annoyed at moments with dealing with a "kid", he tacitly admits Eli really does have a brain and that he needs him.)

Um, the actor has lost loads of weight since season 1, he mentions it in a few interviews.

OK, I gotta say it....Lt. James could provide the entire crew with dairy products..............

True, he has lost a lot of weight but this thread was started on June 5, 2010 after the S1 finale when David Blue was still pretty heavy. This thread was recently ressurected by a spammer making the topic appear to be inaccurate.

It only took Lee Adama a week to lose all his weight.

Liposuction!!!...............FROM THE PAST!!!!!



If Stargate Universe had lasted a few more seasons Eli would have followed the Daniel Jackson and McKay "From Geek to Hero" regiment

Daniel- You'll be lifting weights and firing P90's in less than 6 years!

In the season 7 cast photos, I swear Daniel's arms look bigger than Teal'c's.

it's much harder for most people to lose weight. it's genetic.

Michael Shanks makes light of that here...quite an entertaining watch if you ask me.

Small details that they don't see as important, Rush has had the hair growing from the beginning, that his personal choice and not that of the producers.
