in following episodes they talk about other "scout" ships that are going ahead of destiny, this is how destiny knows to stop at the planets it needs to…..my question is, who flew the shuttle off the ship in episode 2 and how is everyone still alive after teh solar flare episode when most of teh main characters died.

Oops. Yeah, there ought to be some readings on what's there, but considering it was some kind of probe or machine that took those readings, what are the chances of it finding out about the venom those creatures produce and know that it kills the creatures from two weeks ago? Even for an intelligent ship, it's a bit of a stretch. Even though i really like that theory. I'm also not sure the writers could make it properly interesting though. Here's hoping.

Well, it;s not Chloe's death that moved me but Eli and his confession.

But, the ship has been doing that the entire time. They needed lyme or something to clean the air filtration system and Destiny plopped them on a planet where they could find it. They needed water and Destiny plopped them on a planet where they could find it. The stargates were built in these places, so there must be, at the very least, some readings on what's there. This kind of thing is happening too often for it to just be poor writing.

Unless it is, in which case, poopy.

I was also hoping the deaths would stick. Surprisingly, I was more moved my Lt. James' passing than Chloe.

But how would the ship know that the venom from the creatures from this planet would cure the disease considering it's traveling trough uncharted territory? I'm thinking big gaping plot hole rather than intentional writing. Eh, such is Stargate.

Still, i liked this episode and Eli just owned every scene he was in. I do have to wonder why Rush didn't call solar flare time travel the moment they saw that footage though. Any stargate fan probably had it figured out before he did.

I was for a second hoping that Chloe's on-ship death would stick. Because it was powerful, and i loved that scene with Eli pouring his heart out.

And now i'm looking forward to the next episode.
