...but... I thought there weren't going to be human aliens this season.

And the Lucian Alliance can dial Density, but the SGC, with their Asgard core, Atlantis, and five ZPMs can't do it? Really?

(Should I point out that, based on the time it takes to get to Pegasus with a ZPM, the Odyssey should be able to catch up with the Density in maybe a month or two?)

[ivorygates]

You understand that in the pilot they explicitly said they were SEVERAL GALAXIES away from Earth? And that the Lucians are explicitly stated to have been downtrodden by the Goa'uld, which is why we don't see them until after the Goa'uld are toast?

AND YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently Seven of NineKiva is not only over there in the North Mars Galaxy [so the Lucians apparently have really fast ships], but [since the Lucians are using scavenged Goa'uld technology] the Goa'uld [paging *Nirrti*] never bothered to go to Pegasus and take some Wraith hosts....

[slybrarian]

But, but, but... ha'taks are slow as shit compared to ships with Asgard drives! It's a major plot point in that episode where Carter blows up a star and flings them to Ida! And yet, the alternative is that they somehow got a Big Exploding Planet Power Core and the super-secret address that was located only in Ancient database...

[ivorygates]

Oh GOD don't try to make any of this make sense! TPTB just want more tits and leather.

["Density"? BEST NAME EVAH.]

[merrycaepa]

One perhaps gets the idea that they're trying to introduce Vala. Again. I mean, "A strong-willed commander of an alien incursion force. Kiva will do whatever it takes to safeguard her people even if it is at the ultimate expense of the Destiny crew." What's betting that they'll even reuse - oops, I mean repurpose - the same catsuit?

[ivorygates]

If by "catsuit" you mean Vala's fetishwear outfit from "Avalon"...

...no takers.

[slybrarian]

I feel kinda bad, because I really like the design of the ship itself, but I think "Density" is pretty much the only fitting way to describe it's current crew.

[merrycaepa]

Oh, sweet freaky Moses, I was still thinking "Prometheus Unbound." I think I'd blocked "Avalon."

...I'm going to have to stockpile horse tranquilizers to be able to watch this, aren't I?

[ivorygates]

Yeah, pretty much...

[ivorygates]

It's pretty, but it ain't my Gate.

And omg could these people be any stupider?

Don't answer that.

[slybrarian]

I suspect that we're going to find out whether we like it or not.

[kuwdora]

...o rly?

[cesy]

And of course the plot doesn't make any sense, either.

[niqaeli]

How are there people who like this show? Like, at all, even -- but I'm sitting here trying to figure out why they thought branding this Stargate was a good idea?

Because they're throwing out everything that SG-1 (and SGA) ever fucking had to say about Ancients and the tech and -- just. WHAT IS THE POINT? If you brand it Stargate presumably to cash in on the Stargate franchise's appeal and history, then maybe you shouldn't go and piss off all the Stargate fen. A THOUGHT.

I think the important thing to recognize here is that they have at least given this babe a realistic name - because we all know that all aliens are very fond of things that start with the letter 'K'.

Brought to you by the letter 'Z'.

[dar]

Funny. Lookin' awfully humanoid there for a show that said there wasn't going to be any.

[ivory_gates]

I'm sorry. You want SENSE? When they're giving you all this wonderful darkity-dark-dark edginess of DARKNESS???

WTF is WRONG with you, woman???

[ivory_gates]

Oh, but they're sure we'll love it if we just give it TIME....

[ivory_gates]

*NODDING SAGELY*

[also, um, why does the alien have as her name a regular Earth noun? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiva ]

[ivory_gates]

...except for the sexxy female alien, of course.

[sid]

Because Googling iz HARD, Barbie sez.

[ivorygates]

iz!

See the next ep: "Light"...
