We enjoyed this week’s SG-U premiere! Highlights: enjoy Robert Carlyle’s awesome portrayal of the complex Dr. Rush, wonder if Rush really did talk to O’Neill, love Eli’s portrayal of the geek, ponder who’ll be this series’ Carter, we hear about Audra and Chuck’s wah meter, give Sean crap for having watched Power Rangers, bitch about how Christopher McDonald robbed us of two hours of awesome Shooter McGavin jokes by playing his role so effectively (yeah, his geek-show cred is clear: he was in Fanboys, too), debate whether or not one sacrificial act clears the slate of past d-baggery, and discuss which characters will grow in future episodes. In closing we talk new Mass Effect news, Halo ODST, and preview our next arc: Cosmos!
Yesssss! The long awaited Chuck Donut Report. 
I thought that it lacks the levity factor that makes Stargate fun to watch. Really didn’t like how the noobie geek was backstabbing the guy who brought him into the project, even thought the same was done to him.
Also, was I the only one thinking they could have duck-tapped a pencil to one of those floating cameras and closed the shuttle door that way? And that’s before the senator sacrificed himself.
A floating camera is more valuable then a politician. 
What am I saying, a pencil is more valuable! 
Regarding the Chevron’s - there have actually always been 9, but you can’t usually see the 8th 9th because they are covered by the steps/ramp.
Edit: This needs a link -

OK, last night’s premiere was cool for the most part. I could’ve done without the vertical humping against the bookshelf. It added nothing to the story other than being a nod to BSG. That aside though, the premise was pretty cool and I like most of the characters. Dr. Rush will be interesting to watch, I think he knew where they were going to end up but wasn’t telling the others.
There is not a damn thing wrong with Power Rangers!!!
You just haven’t seen the original Japanese series.
Oh, don’t be like that. They might have been able to use his diplomatic skills with whatever aliens they run into.
Besides, I’m just taking about putting a pencil and a camera in a shuttle. Not like they couldn’t get them back once they fixed the ship.
Now they either have to haul out a corpse or ignore the shuttle for the rest of a show.
I’m also letting the fact that you consider a piece of ducktape to be less valuable than a politician…I’ll let that pass - this time…
I wouldnt have minded some more of scott in his briefs tho
A new towel scene is needed
I think the San Diego planet or whatever is gonna have something like killer insects or something. Remember, the gates were set up millions of years ago. So, the planet may have been ok at the time, but stuff evolved. d:
The video game Eli “won,” I thought was it supposed to be a Mass Effect clone.
Subject Zero (some people think she’s a little over the top):
Dr. Horrible at the Emmys:
“They should be like you. You know, except on purpose.” LMsbO!!
I could have doee without the gratuitous bookshelf humping scene as well.
I kept waiting for O’Neill to call Eli ‘The Last Starfighter’ at some point.
I think they may have been afraid not enough people would get the Starfighter reference. I’m not sure Eli would.
Or…maybe they are saving it for when they discover a device or weapon on Destiny that does Death Blossom. (:
I have to admit the yellow and pink rangers were cute. It’s still amuses me that the yellow ranger was a guy in the original Japanese. ^^
One thing that bothers me about the pilot episode(s) is no one called or attempted to challenge Rush’s BS (I’m siding that he’s deluding himself or manipulating others) except the politician and Young, but not enough. One of the military people should have double checked whether O’Neill said what Rush said he said.
I think it was clear that everyone knew he was full of it when he said Jack put him in charge. The problem if I recall correctly is that once you connect to someone with the stone, that is it. You are stuck with that person and only that person. You can reconnect to them if you got power but only to that same person and others can’t use that stone anymore, it is locked to you. If this is the case they are far too valuable to just use on a whim. If Shooter used one and now he is dead then it would be useless now and they would only have three left. Not to mention if Dr. Lee died Rush would also loose that connection.
Saw it around seventy-three. I was dumbfounded when it was redone.
Then
Now
Still saving the day. Still so hot. I don’t believe there’s any straight man my age that didn’t have a crush on the pink ranger back in the day
How old were you back in the day? Casue I was young.
Ok, a few things from a MHO standpoint…
-
Random bookshelf humping is the key to less stress and better bookshelf construction therefore…there is no down side here.
-
After seeing the pics again I stand by my statement in the cast, Pink Power Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson) was hot.
-
Subject Zero is the hottest thing I have seen since Trinity. As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t get ANY hotter than a fowl mouthed, tattoo’d, gunslinger girl with force-like powers. [heartfelt sigh] If it’s even possible, my Shepard will dump Liara like a bad habit and hook up with her.
It’s not clear to me that the civilians (other than the politician and maybe the IOA woman) thought he was BSing. It’s not clear to me that the noncom cook and other noncoms thought he was BSing. But, we’ll see.
I vaguely remember stone use (IYKWIM). Could be retconned otherwise I would have thought they’d remind the audience of that tidbit.
Uh…Probably 4 when it started lol?
