I have quite a high opinion of humanity. The fact that human beings are simultaneously capable of great good and great evil (or moderate good and moderate evil, for that matter) does not change that. I thought Liberator was the one who hated everybody.

[Thaeris]

...You do realize that accusing him of hating everyone just encourages him to defend himself, trip on his own statements, and open him up for more criticism, right?...

[General Battuta]

It's not an 'accusation'. I just can't keep his statements straight.

Technically not an accusation. Still rather rude, though.

[General Battuta]

Sure, sorry. Rather rude of me.

[Blue Lion]

Although not really entirely inaccurate

Erm... Propagation of the matter, anyone?

If we must turn every discussion in the GD forum into one about Liberator, I suggest we give him a nifty new title suitable to this odd condition:

I personally vouch for the title "Infamous L-I-B." It's ghetto and fresh, with a soothing hint of citrus. 

[Liberator]

....but I kinda liked my old one....

[Black Wolf]

OK, I love this show. It definitely has the potential to become better than BSG for me. The characters hit all the right buttons for me, and I love the way they manipulate our opinions of them to show them as complex, multidimensional beings that real people would be (eg. Eli gets this (he knows what Young did on the planet but does nothing, despite being everyone's favourite character and Rush has the inglorious bastard vibe right down to a T and Greer, well, he's what Atlantis tried and failed to get from Ronin pretty much every episode). Plus it's slowly evolving, showing their struggle just to survive (loved the sweet potato bit ) and has gone 10 episodes with only one of those "Episode in a  bottle" things where nothing affects the overall story arc (the time loop one, which I also loved). So yeah, I'm hooked and already squirming in my seat knowing it'll be weeks before the next one.

[EDIT]Oh, and I think they're all coping about as well as can be expected, given the situation. They're all adapting to what can essentially be considered a life sentence, and a short, uncomfortable life at that. As for their selection for the SG program, they're doing better than that guy from season 1 of SG1 who took over a planet by posing as a god, or the ones who went off and worked for the NID.

[Blue Lion]

Iiiiiiiit's baaaaaaaaack!

[General Battuta]

It was all right. Female characters got shafted again, space battle was good but not great. Showing motion in the right direction, though.

[Liberator]

Sorry for the necro...

I just saw the season finale of this since my schedule prevents me from seeing it at the proper time(Hulu.com ftw btw!) and I thought I would bring this back up for those who haven't been watching it or had left it behind for some reason.  They're going back toward the Stargate method, but with a darker twist.  This is opposed to where it was going before which was down the BSG WTF are you smoking road.  Anyway, the season finale seems to present an inescapable conundrum with everyone facing imminent death in some form or fashion.

[Klaustrophobia]

i thought the finale was really a waste of an episode.  pretty much the exact same as the preceding one for another hour.  it ended up in exactly the same place, and not a lot interesting or important happened in between.

and i really hope they kill off Rea soon.  she's just annoying.

[Scourge of Ages]

I like the show, it's one of the few things for which I'll pull myself away from the computer to watch live.

I just have one thing to say about the cliffhanger last episode:
Octooobeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

[Colonol Dekker]

Stargate Voyager = 

[Kosh]

Well at least it will have a chance to do what Voyage had the potential for but so spectacularly failed to live up it.

[Locutus of Borg]

Prediction for the first five minutes

- Eli opens the door to save Scott and Greer (as if they'll kill them off -_-)
OR
- Scott and Greer find a way to be covered by the shield

THEN

- The Luciens decide the military is more useful to them alive due to pleading by Gaius Rushtar and Raeslin

AND FINALLY

- Everyone survives the Gamma flash

[SpardaSon21]

So, has it been decided then that SG:U is pretty much BattleStarGate: Voyager?

[Klaustrophobia]

i was really hoping the ship was just the intro to the series, not all of it.  episodes of survive the next thing that broke on the old ship can only go so far.

[Nemesis6]

The crying really got boring after a while. It's like they thought -- Hmmm, what would Stargate do? Action, character development, justified tension, and an interesting narrative... Ok, let's rid of all of those and make the characters cry all the time. It doesn't matter if the viewer doesn't care about them yet, or that they're razor-thin and unlikable and hence the viewers won't care about them later, either - We'll just do the Battlestar Galactica constant tension thing so they just forget. I mean they must forget, right?

I watched it with my brother, and we both just found it to be embarrassingly bad. Personally, I was waiting for the entire cast to be blown out of an airlock, and replaced with likable, interesting characters. I mean seriously, the comic-relief gamer guy... what the **** were they thinking?
