How in the name of Jesus Herbert Walker Christ did anyone think this script was a good idea instead of the single most immature and peurile attitude towards homosexuality I've seen since Chasing Amy?

And their defense for having a completely uneducated and grotesque view of the disabled was "Well, you weren't supposed to see us say that.". Nice. So really, it's our fault.

But the worst thing about this script? Apart from the rape and the disability ignorance? The unforgivable lack of science-fiction in a science-fiction show. The whole idea that apart from the body-swap, nothing science-fictiony is happening. There's no mention of a planet or technology or space anomaly being explored, just humping. I've seen things that used silly, outlandish concepts dressed up as an excuse for the people involved to hump, and it's called porn.

I think there's the seed of a fascinating story in this episode. Someone who's been a quadraplegic for all her adult life getting a chance to have a fully functional body for a while? That would interesting to see.

The rest of it, though? Bleah. I especially like the arguments that "it's not rape 'cause she won't know/remember it afterward!" Yeah, neither will someone who gets raped while she's unconscious from too much alcohol or being drugged with roofies. Guess what? It's still rape. Morons.
