Your right I did leave out crapp I mean rap. Actully I lump it into hiphop

the lack of a translator doesnt kill the shows plot line or actual enjoyment. but lack of scifi in a scifi show will.

Yes, people are stupid because of being in the Military. Obviously you havent met enough real military personnel to make such a judgement. but you were stupid enough to buy into the old "only idiots join the military" idea.

Are you calling George Washington an idiot? He was in the Military.

You sir, are an idiot for believing here say, and not actually being intelligent enough to observe something yourself.

Tonight's episode was better. Somewhat predictable, but at least we're finally getting somewhere. Will be interesting to see how things play out from here, so long as they stop abusing the stones.

Oh, we haven't seen the last of Rush. He's got a derelict ship and a working stargate; I'm sure he'll think of something. What would be really interesting is if he manages to encounter that ship's builders before Destiny does. He might tell the aliens all sorts of crazy things about the Destiny crew, like how they cruelly stranded him on a desert planet before running off with his ship. I wouldn't be surprised to see him show up with some new friends several weeks from now.

In the short term, I think Col. Young has just lost Eli's trust. Rush definitely needed dealing with, but his choice of methods could really hurt him in the future.

I wonder, what is the point of these new 'mid-season finales'. Are the producers/writers going to change the script based upon these types of forum reviews?

If so, things may get better.

If not, then we are in for much of the same tripe.

I've watched quite a few episodes so far (I live in the UK and haven't see the whole series yet), and I like it somewhat, BUT the problem I have with it is its too focused on personal relations and there is just too much contact interaction with the civilian people back on Earth for my liking. I tune into stargate for sci, adventure, and humour, not for drama.

i don't think rush was so stupid as to not look for a backup copy.  the colonial wasn't surprised that the gun was found in his room.

How can Rush gate hop if he doesn't know any gate addresses?

Gotta find out what happened to the guy in the chair.  Maybe I missed something, but we don't know if he died or what.

Ever heard of trial and error? You dont need to know gate addresses to push seven or eight chevrons and get yourself an instant doorway to another world. Maybe you werent paying attention to SG1 and SG:A but plenty of everyday people travelled via stargate without have a true knowledge of the damn thing like SGC did.

Also, This is isnt the last of Rush, hes a main character and hell be back. Exactly why they found a spaceship in this episode so the writers can easily reintroduce him, or give the show alittle bit more drama when he comes back onboard and outs Colonel Young for leaving him there, not that Rush didnt deserve it. But its only going to create more issues between the characters. Also the guy left comatoise isnt a main character and isnt that big of a deal. But if you take a look at the website they may have an explaination there, This show has picked up this idea people are ok with plotholes in shows and the best way to address any questions is to make a 4 minute short that sums up the dilemma they left openended. Including huge issues like being stuck in a timeloop.

I give Rush two more episodes before he returns. I dont remember how many episodes this show is slotted for in the first season. But Im willing to bet hell show up either in a few episodes which would mark the middle of the season. Or hell end up showing up at the very end of the season signifying a cliff hanger.

Oh dear, did Rush do something meglomaniacal and cowardly again? I can't watch........

He tried to frame Young for murder, that was actually suicide not to get him out the picture completely but long enough to get another crewmember to volunteer to sit into the Ancient Chair Young had forbidden. But with Rush out of the picture, and Young finally at his end of patience with others fucking him over has become a badguy of sorts himself, asking that Eli delete all Kino info off his computer and copy it to a stickdrive.
