Tonight on SGU: ‘Pathogen’

• YES! I can't wait for some more info about the blue guys

• Chloe looks demented in the title picture. Awesome...

• Looks like we'll be seeing more info about the blue aliens. Also, maybe Eli will tell his mom about where he is?? (considering she's sick) Then again, he might not.
  Unfortunately up here in Canada, I have to wait till Friday! Not really thrilled about that, but in a way it works out: I watch a show at 8 anyway, so I will only wait 1 hour before SGU starts where I live.

  (I wish SGU was on the same day up here.......)

• Where do you guys get the idea that it's the Smurfs? To me it seems more likely it's the "Faith" aliens. For one, I don't think the Smurfs are that advanced. Secondly, the build-up to this episode started in "Intervention". Thirdly, Chloe's skin turns grey, not blue.

  Personally, I hope that she never completely turns into one of the "Faith" aliens. I'd like them to be kept a mystery for a while longer. Well, unless they give it more of a "The Fifth Race" kind of ending. That alone would make it an even better episode than "Awakening", in my opinion.

• It was so good that I fell asleep...and didn't go back to finish watching it.

• Stargate Dramaverse

  Why do they force Drama on us? I thought they wanted to give us Sci-fi?

  This episode was terrible. After almost one and a half seasons the crew aboard Destiny (minus Rush) still doesn't know there is a bridge/control room? Seriously??? With those stones they have, and all the knowledege they must have on the Ancient tech on Earth, they still didn't bring in a science team to find the bridge/control room? Seriously???

  Folks, we have had a total of 24 episodes. Thats about 24 hours of airtime (including advertisements) for this timeslot, and the crew still hasent gotten from the stargate to the bridge? I've given this show 24 episodes, and 24 hours of my time, and now I'm done giving thm any more.

• I loved this episode because of its human side. Atlantis and Sg1 never had that. I was tired of the same booing things : asgards, replicators, happy campers sga - john sheppard ... nothing new. At some point I stopped watching Atlantis because it was too predictable.

• @Bogdan C.: Hehe, I think that there are many fans who don't watch SGU for the same reason: it's predictable - little suspense, little action, stone-enduced emo scenes with loved ones. So, I guess it goes both ways :P

  For me, for example, was one scene where Sheppard just couldn't get out that he considered Teyla a friend more human than half an episode of ruminating on SGU.

  It's up to every person's taste.

• @katikatnik ... Yeah, maybe you are right but, still I dont know what to say. Still, Sgu is not predictable because you wont know whats going to happen next even if its about drama or sci-fi. In Sga it was the same, they went through the gate to find trouble or somebody would have come through the gate to send a warning. It was alwasys the same. It was too Sg1 ...

  I liked Season one and two of Atlantis, but when I saw the replicators ... I was a little surprised in a bad way. They could have created a new aalien race, something not human. In Season 4 I began to slip away ... and in Season 5 when I saw the Asgards, I stopped watching it.
  I also hated the english speaking aliens.

• @Bogdan C. - How predictable any tv show may be is relative to only how much the viewer is paying attention. I find SGU extremely predictable. I can say the same for pretty much every show I've ever watched for more than an episode here or there. Some shows are more elaborate in their plot, obviously, but still predictable.

  As for the replicators, I'd have been very disappointed if they hadn't shown back up. We knew the Ancients created them, we knew there were human form replicators and that they had been around for a long time. There had to be more out there. Really, the replicators should make an appearance on SGU as well because there's no doubt that there'd be more out there and there's no doubt that they had the technology to reach the seed ships. Perhaps even to take one over and colonize the worlds it found. Many of whom would likely have even evolved to a point where they no longer had an issue with humans. It's very likely that in the Stargate 'universe', there are friendly replicators.

  The same is true for the Asgard. Did you really think such an advanced and long-lived civilization would have all stayed in one place? Seriously? They too would likely have sought out the seeding ships and are probably out there somewhere. Particularly with their issue of the clones breaking down.

  And they did show non-english-speaking aliens, including the Asgard. They just also had them speaking English as well. You can't have a television show that meets a new civilization on a regular basis with a different language. It just doesn't work and makes it far too slow-paced. You can either 'cheat' with a plot device like a 'universal translator' or you can find another way to explain it. Now they did kind of dance around the issue, but they did ultimately cover it. If they had gotten stuck on issues like this with SG1, the second season of SG1 would have had less than a million viewers before even hitting the middle of the season and there would never have been SG1 seasons 3-10, SGA or SGU. So SGU only exists because of the decisions that you're now chiding. Ironic, no?
