SGU Week Day 4 (oh are we still doing this): Favorite shi

Eli and Ginn were precious, and it's criminal that we didn't get more of them. C r i m i n a l . To say nothing of that double-fridging (that they did twice... ffs).

I like to think that Ginn would be all in for going to earth, and she eventually gets her wish after her file is removed from quarantine (with a sweet clone body grown from DNA harvested from her old clothes, which were initially saved to be backup clothing for some of the ladies on board Destiny, but later saved for cloning purposes [yes I'm aware this means her body would have been buried in some state of undress, but it was off camera anyway so it's fiiiiiiiine]).

Y'all say what y'all like about Family Guy, but the cutaways have tons of cultural references (I am frequently "Peter Griffin Explains the Joke when I watch with my husband). My thought is that Eli shows Ginn episodes of Family Guy to teach her about earth, which you can imagine leads to some pretty ridiculous misunderstandings.

Please do not enjoy this excerpt from The Eli Wallace Guide to Getting a Cute and Smart 3D Girlfriend

A while back, whilst hunting for meme fodder, I found a mean article written back around when SGU was airing. The gist of it was basically that Ginn was too "pretty" for Eli, and that a "schlubby" guy like him didn't deserve to be with someone conventionally attractive. Idk, maybe I'm old, but I think they're around the same level of cuteness. Also, bear in mind that in the past, having some extra weight was considered a sign of wealth and a positive trait. Eli's body type could easily be a selling point for Ginn, who is apparently interested enough in leaving the Space Cartel that she's willing to risk her life for it. To her, Eli is sweet, smart, cute, and her ticket to a life so cushy that luxuries she can't even imagine are considered commonplace. He's the entire package. 🧡

Look, I'm not creative. This is verbatim from Family Guy, but it's funny as hell, so it's going in the post.

This is Vital Information, mainly because Eli is definitely dragging her to a comic con at the first opportunity. God, imagine being an alien and going to a con, and it looks no different from that trading post you used to go to every month

Gotta learn about Halloween, AKA the best holiday! I do wonder what kind of holiday celebrations they might try to have on the Destiny in some hypothetical future where they can get supplies from earth, especially with all those Lucian Alliance members from various other planets. Obviously not something worth showing in a show that was mainly focused on survival, but it's a fun idea for fics.

And yes, at this point, Family Guy is the only TV show Ginn knows, except for the ones they mention on the show.

Please enjoy the references to Mean Girls and Parks & Rec.

Apparently raisins are a universal constant, too, which is good because I love them and will tolerate no raisin-slander on my page

"Shut up, Eli, you don't have a band." Fr tho "Spaceship Full of Bees" is an awesome band name

This is actually one of the shorter "episodes" I've done, in which Dale gets the bright idea to keep bees on a spaceship. I looked it up, and you can't keep honeybees inside, not even in a greenhouse, because they need more space than that to roam around. Maybe they could genetically engineer some that are suitable for pollinating weird space plants on a starship. No way will that hilariously backfire. Ginn is clearly familiar with the steroid bees, so she will probably think they're normal.

Dale's other idea is to get chickens. Maybe they can get some domestic space quail instead. They're smaller.

"So after we finished Family Guy, we watched some of The Cleveland Show. Then, when I took her to the zoo, she threw a beer into the bear enclosure, and that's how we both got lifetime bans from The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo."

But yeah imagine learning all this random pop culture info from some raunchy cartoon so you can fit in on an alien planet, but no one bothers telling you that the second-most common pet on that planet can't talk. Good luck to everyone when Ginn meets a parrot...

Rush smirking away to himself while he observes Eli panicking about Brody and the stasis pod is just perfection. He's such a devious asshole. Love him.

[judgeverse]

The Destiny came home five years ago today, but Rush can't bring himself to post on the survivors' Facebook group. Instead, he watches and thinks and regrets. Some musings on the nature of loneliness and letting yourself be left behind. (For SGU Week 2023) - - - Throughout the day, the anniversary messages trickle in, slowly at first, then piling on as more and more people cave to peer pressure. Rush grudgingly turns his laptop back on and leaves the page open in a tab, flitting between different documents and projects, pulled back to the Destiny group every time the browser alert pings in his ears.

Hope you’re all doing well, writes Young. No less, no more. Simple and direct. Rush respects that. There’s no need to call attention to the occasion.

I miss you guys so much! gushes Eli, along with a paragraph updating them all about his new job at a game company, and another year’s worth of empty invitations to get together at the next comics convention. Rush wants to be happy for his success, but there’s a bitter taste in his mouth.

Brody sends a meme about going to outer space.

the timing in some of the scenes *chef's kiss*

[autisticslp]

I don’t know why this bit cracks me up so much, but it does. Probably because it’s so relatable. 

Brody: We are down to one last everything. There’s practically no redundancy.

Volker: “Practically no redundancy.”

Brody: Wasn’t funny the first three times!

Volker: Well, I’m very tired.

I can't believe Jouer ses cartes by laurie_ky is finally over. Nine years in the making. 344,039 words. This fic was so hard to read at first (it was written in response to another one where Rush is gang raped by the Lucian Alliance), but the author delivered on her intent to make things better. And the ending nailed it, with a surprise that I did not see coming and all the fluff anyone could wish for.

SGU Week day 4: favorite ship

I went for Camile/Sharon even tho there are so many other ships I love (TJ/Chloe, Chloe/Vanesa, Lisa/Volker/Brody…) because I’m kinda in love with their love

I mean it when I say that these two have the healthiest romantic relationship in the whole franchise

[bagheerita]

thoughts on SGU "Epilogue":

Volker telling Rush "you're just jelly we survived without you" is like… my dude you died 5 minutes after they arrived what is this "we"??

(I feel like this is a line they should have given to Brody, except it wouldn't vibe with the way they made him the strawman fanatic for the episode.)

My love for TJ grows in proportion to how shitty the narrative is to her and the narrative REALLY enjoys being shitty to TJ.

Related I guess, but TJ/Young gives me the bad vibes. I'm usually the one who says "I'll ship anything" but I do not ship TJ with Young and I feel like the show really wants me to believe that this is a good relationship. It baffles me. Young is a walking disaster of a man and I neither understand what TJ sees in him nor believe that she understands it either. like, Varro is standing right there ffs

I do really like James/Varro. I think James has the potential for great compassion, which is something i think Varro liked about TJ, as well as her competence and strength. They fit together, other than just being each other's second choice.

For all the hetero-normative baby-making they focus on here, I really appreciate that the show took the time to establish that it is possible to contribute significantly to society in ways other than genetic offspring. From the moment they meet their descendants, Yaozu greets them with the name of Camile's father, a tea ceremony she recognizes, and a blessing in Mandarin. Camile is the last survivor of the Destiny, contributing to their survival in every important way.

I loved the brief talk she has with Chloe and TJ about finding a partner and how she really feels no need to. She's already found and been parted from her soulmate, who could possibly fill the place that Sharon's absence has left open?

If you had told me last year that the healthiest, most developed and adult intimate relationship in all of Stargate was between lesbians I would not have believed you. Looking back, maybe it was necessary to remove the m/f element from the equation because I often have the feeling that Stargate writers flat out do not understand healthy interaction between men and women.

I am amused that "Epilogue" is not the last episode of the season/show. Though I feel like they knew at this point that the show was cancelled, because they completely skip the "dropping the descendants off at the settlement planet" part of the story, which annoys me in equal measure to my amusement. That would have been so interesting, and good for another 5 episodes at least. (Though Stargate has a habit of turning season/half-season arc ideas into single episodes looking at you "The Game" to instead go back to the idea "What if interstellar robots want to kill us??")

Just started s2 of SGU. Rush is still my favorite. I wish he’d share some brain cells with the rest of the ship to solve the obvious shortage.
