SGA Ep: Outsiders

[the_other_sandy]

Maybe I'm missing something.

If Jervis handed the plague survivors over to the Wraith, wouldn't that mean the Wraith would then know who was safe to eat? I'm guessing Jervis wasn't thinking his plan through.

Also?

Dropping a mine on a buttload of Wraith = good.

Dropping a mine on a bunch of humans whose only crime was to be short-sighted and inconvenient = bad.

The writers really seem to have hit a wall this season, which gives me no hope that SGU is going to be any good, because the same writers who ran out of ideas on SG-1 and SGA are going to be writing it. I think it's long past time (and at the same time, too late) for an infusion of fresh blood on the writing staff.

One of the unintended consequences of the SCB campaign for me was that I can no longer see Carson Beckett through Paul McGillion. The character of Carson is now just PM at his day job to me. With less than half a season to go, I'd rather see more of McKay and Sheppard, and Ronon and Sheppard (preferably while running and shooting, 'cause I'm shallow like that).

Next week's episode worries me because in the hands of any other show, it could be a brilliant exploration of a series of moral and ethical dilemmas (like "The Measure of a Man" on ST:TNG), but in the hands of our writers? I don't think they're willing or able to take the hard road like they'd need to. Where's Melinda Snodgrass when you need her?

Yes but will it really be about morals and consequences, or is it a clip show in disguise?

You know, I think I'd prefer a clip show to superficial lip service and handwaving regarding the moral and ethical choices made by the Lantians given in a trial setting for an hour. At least with a clip show, I'd get a chance to watch bits from episodes I liked (or at least, bits I liked from episodes I didn't).
