At this point i'm really left scratching my head. I found this simply terrible and i'm struggling to find a way to convince myself, and you, that the good outweighed the bad. And I'm sorry to say it but Louis Ferrera is my biggest problem.
Overall, the script is horrible, HORRIBLE, the plot is laboured, the direction is terrible. Fantastic special effects, brilliant brilliant aliens, but this is primetime dribble. Why are you doing this?
SPOILERS AHEAD:
It's the whole Rush vs Young thing... Young watching Rush everywhere he goes. Rush running off to the Bridge to save the day. Blah! In one scene where the two ships detach Young is yelling "why" - oh my God! Why is right? There could be a million reasons why! The most obvious being that Destiny seems to have a small level of AI and has always acted in the best interests of the crew. That aside, seriously why is his character focused on the mundane? The answer is to heighten the drama between Rush and Young which is so blatantly being pushed into our faces. I cant stand another pathetic moment between these two.
It seems we have our answer about Franklin too - he is now the ships Avatar. We have only seen him when there was real danger to the crew. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll be seeing a lot of Rushs' dead wife. I find these scenes boring and too detailed for what they're meant to represent.
T.J and Chloe - the 'are you okay about the baby?' scene was pathetic. Chloe says her gun shot is healed and T.J says "how is that possible?" UM, What? You just went to another planet T.J. and your baby is living in a cabin made by Aliens who also made a sun. I think "Show me" is what most people would say. You could argue that i'm knit picking - and maybe i am, but what i'm trying to get at is if this is meant to be 'real' space drama, stargate style, pls work on your scripts cos they suck. Seeing Camille and her worst enemy sharing a quiet moment was a hard pill to swallow - given the history of inability for most of the characters to get along to date.
In general i just found the whole episode tiresome. Really not their best moment.
As an aside, I read a few posts about why the Lucian Alliance (L.A.) would care about Destiny and here is my answer: The L.A. have a history of scavenging tech. Ancient tech is the most advanced tech. They're smarter than Terrans so they could have stripped the ship and taken heaps of cool stuff back home by now.moreless
