[SPOILER ALERT -- skip this if you haven't seen the show]

We need air! Ship opens SG to the planet with the minerals needed to reload the air exchangers. We need water! Ship opens SG to the ice planet. We need food! Ship opens SG to the jungle planet with the fruit (and the Alien-style critters which were awesome). We need power! Ship drives through a star. This was the obvious outcome of the cliff-hanger, but it was still one of the better episodes. etc. etc. Again, I like the show. However, it's very episodic. Another gripe I have with Life is the chair. As soon as it appeared on screen my wife said, "Oh, it's the Dollhouse chair." I doubted that they would blatantly rip off another currently airing show. 30 seconds later Dr. Rush is explaining how whoever sits in the chair will have the knowledge of the ancients implanted directly into their brain. Dollhouse certainly did not invent this idea, but come on. Much like the jump in quality of Buffy S2 over Buffy S1, when they went to longer story arcs instead of "monster of the week" there's still hope for SGU. They need to smash those stones into tiny pieces though. -- JDL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
