Stargate Universe, Season 2, Episodes 17 & 18

Doubling up, since life has gotten "full" again...

"Common Descent": Basically I had the DS9 episode "Children of Time" on my brain for the entire show, for obvious reasons. It's basically the same setup, although SGU takes a different view of temporal dynamics, and it's being incorporated into the larger story.

But the real question is: Who makes babies with whom? That will be answered in the next ep...

"Epilogue": More is learned about the Destiny descendents, including the prurient (with an Amish kind of flair) bedroom details of...
- Lt. Scott and Chloe (duh)
- Park and Greer (almost duh...alt-Volker died a few months in, since he never got the chance for the kidney transplant)
- TJ forsook her budding romance with Varro for the known-quantity in babymaking, Col. Young.
- Eli and Med-Tech Extra #4 Corporal Barnes. Wouldn't Eli's downloadable girlfriend get jealous though??
- "2nd choice" Varro and Lt. James. Awww, isn't that sweet, there's someone for everyone!
- Except for Brody, who opts to morph into Grampa Simpson.

Also, TJ finds out through the archival footage that she's destined to contract ALS. This is really harsh and not at all something to make fun of. So I'm moving back to bedroom proclivities!

One burning question in my mind. Two actually. OK, so how does Camille Wray have descendents if she was still only dating women? (and half-heartedly at that) Somehow I'm not led to believe that the destiny crew perfected gene-splicing and in-vitro fertilization within one generation on the planet! Also, how did she end up the last one of the original crew alive? I know people of Japanese descent have a higher life-expectancy than average, but isn't she like the 3rd or 4th oldest person on the ship?

Just two more episodes left! If you read my earlier post, you know to be prepared to be left hanging...
