In any case, I would think that the alians would take more time in scouting the destiny before attacking. Also, why would alians keep them clothed anyways? And the water tanks? Did anyone else get the feeling of "Chloe as a tropical fish"?<br /><br />But, since I did the same as Mark - watching Dr. Who Prior to SGU (Which is of course a very very big mistake. Mental note: always watch Dr Who last) - I think my opinion is tainted.WhyMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997185045169059686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90061540948685456122010-04-05T19:56:28.944-04:002010-04-05T19:56:28.944-04:00You know, I had similar thoughts about the clothes...You know, I had similar thoughts about the clothes while watching. I think at the time I reasoned that whatever bags they brought on their initial trip included some spares, and then promptly forgot about it. Maybe Rush wasn't even wearing his regular outfit under whatever away team clothes he was sporting when Young ditched him. And Chloe was in some pretty basic jammies when she got grabbed.<br /><br />But I like the idea that the aliens did some dry cleaning and left them waiting in the shuttle. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the comments, guys! Seems I enjoyed it more than some of you, but I agree that I'm definitely more interested in the brewing mutiny than the new aliens. I, too, hope it isn't a one-and-done, let's all be buddies again kind of thing. Given the attention they've given to ongoing consequences thus far, I'm optimistic it will get better treatment than that.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-28911384521520613982010-04-05T18:43:07.193-04:002010-04-05T18:43:07.193-04:00After all this time, didn't like this one too ...After all this time, didn't like this one too much.<br /><br />Stupid question: how did Rush and Chloe get their clothes back?.

This was a decent enough...Hey Jess, great review. <br /><br />This was a decent enough episode but it didn’t really connect with me. Might’ve been something to do with my silly decision to sandwich it in between a breathtaking episode of <b>Fringe</b> and an absolutely, spine-tinglingly brilliant episode of <b>Doctor Who</b> (all hail the Matt Smith!!!!). <br /><br />Fun as it is to have a new alien menace personally I’m looking more forward to the mutiny that seems to be brewing on Destiny. Long as it’s not one of those ‘one episode then everyone’s mates again’ mutinies Voyager used to give us ever so often. <br /><br />Agree with everything you said about the female characters on the show. Some need to be developed a lot better (Wray, TJ and James) while some need to be shown the way to the nearest airlock (guess who). Actually, when Chloe was taken I couldn’t help thinking of one of my favourite <b>Red Dwarf</b> moments:<br /><br />Soldier: <i>“They’ve taken Miss Armstrong, Colonel, they’ve taken Miss Armstrong!”</i> <br />Young: <i>“Quick, let’s get out of here before they bring her back”</i>Mark Greighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984193299389764649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-17811518250786564312010-04-05T14:48:52.785-04:002010-04-05T14:48:52.785-04:00Good review, Jess, and you definitely have a good ...Good review, Jess, and you definitely have a good point about what they're doing with Wray. I was thinking about you when they were doing the stuff with the stones and the aliens. :) Which I did like better than the Earth stuff, which has always bothered me. I also liked the Young/Rush face-off.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
