Yeah, they've been creeping around the issue in his last few episodes, but yikes. I thought his partner was a pretty good liar, too.

Destiny itself is a MacGuffin, though, and the Stargates before that, so, that's kinda what the show is about, right? I dunno. I'm less critical of SGU in this season's lineup, just because it's so much more fun. I'm super-bummed that ABC's "Better Off Ted" wasn't renewed. I laughed my ass off through every episode last year, despite it's spotty schedule. =( -- Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
