Like most fledgling movements, we'll have to facilitate it ourselves. The pic may be an actor on that particular show; however, there are likely to be fewer beefcake pics than cheesecake pics, so that has the potential to get repetitive.

So, any actor from any show will suffice. Feel free to submit suggestions!

I call it "Equal Opportunity Nekked Nudity," but you say pot-ah-toe and I say po-AY-toe, and really, it comes down to the same thing: for every minute of a woman being exploited for her body, there should be an equally exploiting minute for the guys. So here, here! Hurray for LDP and his marvelous chest!

I'm so with you on this. How can we facilitate more of the same? What qualifies as a picture to be used? Does it have to be an actor on that particular show, but he used to be on a different one, and perhaps was partly nekked? Like with Mr. Phillips here? Or can it be any character from ANY show because, as you know, there is a dearth of this sort of thing.

Best Regards,

The ship seems to be doing whatever it wants, so it wouldn't be surprising to learn that it intentionally stopped on the edge of a useful star system and turned itself toward the star. I don't know if it's possible in the Stargate 'verse, but Desinty's behavior reminds me of biological ships like Moya on Farscape or the Vorlons' bio-hybrid ships on Babylon 5. Like I said, I don't know if that's possible in this 'verse, but it seems like there's more than programming going on with Destiny.

Now that they're past the pilot stage, this episode was nicely meaty. There's conflict of many kinds, dire circumstances, good old sci-fi technobabble, the trademark Stargate humor, and a couple of cameos for established franchise fans. (Peter. ::teehee::) I can't wait to see what happens next week, but I had the same thought about solar panels. Or maybe something like a ramscoop that could've been activated as they penetrated the gas giant's atmosphere. And is it just me or is the overall design of the Destiny reminiscent of the Asgard motherships from SG-1? Makes me wonder which race in the alliance originated that shape.

I applaud your EEO advocacy, Lisa. Although, if we're going to complain about Vanessa James's over-filmed assets (lovely as they are), we should probably give her the proper rank of 2nd Lieutenant. [/nitpick] And I, for one, would not object to a bit more shirtless Lieutenant Scott, Sergeant Greer, and/or Private Becker. Those young military boys are tasty bits of beefcake.

Hehe – "stimulus" (you should totally have worked the "package", too, for maximum effect!). This is important work you are doing with EOOM and it deserves to be applauded (and funded).

I am excited about SGU, too, because it is bringing the wonder back and it is a newish, yet fully-rounded, conceit. Yes, there will always be comparisons to other series but there is some solid acting a writing in there and I think it will only get better.

I'm performing a public service, really. I wonder if I could start a non-profit think tank and get some stimulus funds?

haha this was great! i frickin' loved that episode of psych (it's one of my favorite shows), and when lou diamond phillips came out wearing nothing but pants and gun holster…well, kudos to psych for giving us some eye-candy in the form of comedy, and kudos to you, lisa, for drawing attention to the importance of eeoc!! i, also, advocated for hot naked cylon guys…(i mean, tricia helfer and grace park v. dean stockwell wasn't exactly fair to begin with), so when we finally got a hottie in anders, i also definitely wanted more nekkedness.

Same here. I advocated for hot Cylon guys for most of BSG's run, and was ready to protest when we never got Anders naked in a tub of goo. I may go for personality and sense of humor in real life, but on the teevee box, I want beefcake.

I am fangirling you hardcore! For years I've been advocating Equal Opportunity Objectification. For every fanboy who got all up in my grill about my "ggnngghh"ing over Captain Mal, John Crichton, or even my original source of thigh holster hawtness, Han Solo, I have invoked the EOO clause in my Fangirl Contract.

For the record, I was riveted as well, despite my complaints of inequality. And I look forward to more EOO Moments in future reviews.
