Haven't seen this particular episode, yet, but I'm already sensing a pattern here.

Crew starts running out of something on the ship, the ship stops somewhere and the crew finds what they need.

Hopefully, this pattern won't continue for too much longer.

Pattarn? Before tonight's episode it's only happened once! I think we need to see more of the season before we can start worrying about patterns in the plots.

I was so bored. The first 3 episodes I enjoyed, but this episode nothing seemed to happen. Oh, some people went wonkers cause they couldn't get their nicotine and caffeine fix. I am hoping that this show really tries hard to differentiate itself from battlestar galactica.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

Yea, Not much happened this episode. Dissapointing. They need to move the plot along faster. 6 episodes left before the Hiatus.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Hey, girl taking shower and hot combat chick being spyed on by Eli and some random dude and people say nothing happened!

Wonder when they figure out the ship is working for them? My bet, the ship is heading to a sun for fuel.

Getting tired of the Lou Diamond character switching over and trying to take charge, that is getting old.

As far as a pattern, yea, I can see it, next will be the food and water.

I am finding the show rather enjoyable still.

I guess I'm going to be a dissenting opinion here, I really enjoyed the episode, SGU is quickly turning into one of my favorite shows. Personally I enjoy the slower pace, it feels more natural and is really allowing me to get to know the various characters. IMHO it's head and shoulders above any of the previous SG shows so far.

It wasn't just some people - it was Rush. The behavior in this episode might have been over top, but it might make him overall a little ... easier to work with. And might help them getting their act together.

I guess I'm going to be a dissenting opinion here, I really enjoyed the episode...

Me too. Much better than the first three.

It's not that I didn't enjoy the episode. I did. I enjoy all SG Episodes ^_^. But I think they are taking too long to introduce some bad/guy alien action. SG1 and Atlantis introduced the antagonists in the very first episodes (Children of the Gods and Rising). Aside from the small hint of some aliens (last episodes pod detachment) we haven't met a protagonist yet.

I'm loving the character development, it's great. But I strongly feel they need to start weaving in some more action, and soon. It doesn't look likely. If you check out the meager episode summaries at Gateworld It looks like we won't meet the aliens directly till the end of the season.
