healingmirthIs Stargate Universe maneuvering to be picked up by the CW? (Not that I don't love you, CW, but...)
Seriously? Seriously!
I will put up with some gratuitous sex scenes without any, you know, explanation. Even though I really wish they'd use that minute for...anything else, the actors are hot, and I get that sometimes you just want to put that on the screen. And ZOMG END OF THE WORLD SEXXIN, or whatever, is a valid character choice. Sure.
I am totally on board with the potential for messed up "romantic" entanglements within closed groups like the people stranded on Destiny, or the Stargate program, or any sort of classified information situation or the military in general, and they can tell as many stories about the variety of secrets people keep as they want. I wouldn't have minded 20 seconds of someone on the crew having a healthy relationship, though, I'm just saying.
However? I could really do without the squicky sleeping with people while you are wearing someone else's body. I'm not even going to talk about it, and I am coming to terms with the characters all making really bad decisions, all the time. Just not as an excuse for more sex scenes.
HOWEVER part 2: If they were going to go there? They are pretty much forgiven for the first glitch happening while Telford's body was actively fucking Young's (ex-?)wife. Even without whatever his Mysterious Appearance at the end of the episode means.
Of course, now I'm going to be stuck thinking about what had happened if Eli had been driving when the glitch...glitched. (where'd those drivers go? were they just for kicks? Seriously, you're going to let people just go wander about unsupervised?) Or what if one of the switching people had some massive allergy (RODNEY!) or whatever. I'm really missing the Mortal Peril that the stones were always wrapped up in with SG-1.
