SG:U Episode 2

Okay, so I'm watcing the second episode of Stargate Universe. Uh, Desert Planet. Right...

So they have these stones which allows them to contact Earth at anytime. That's nice, they can keep in touch. How sweet.

Okay, so they're on this desert planet so they can find a way to get their air thing working again in order to survive.

What do they find on the plnet? Sand. Well and this thing that keeps buggin' them... and it looks like it likes water. Hmmm interesting, perhaps that's where all the water went to in the first place.

And a face just appeared out of the sand. (Yes I'm watching it as I type)

Typical how when you get too warm that you start seeing things. Oh yes, it always happens like that.

The 'kid' is rather annoying... sure he wants to understand crap... but shoot, he's no scientist.

Reminds me of an episode of Enterprise, where they were on a Desert Planet. Hmmm... probably not though.

The ex con is fun. Seems like he likes to threaten people with his weapons.

Obviously they'll have to get the air working again, 'cause that would suck fo rthem to be stuck on a ship.

I enjoy the thought of a mutany.

Loved the part where the guy is about to step through the gate and the scientist tells the ex con to shoot the guy. Classic!

"Why'd you do that?"

"He told me to."

And so the guy has a flashback of when he knocked up some gal. The swirrly thing comes back and wakes him up. He finds the lakebed, which is what they were looking for to begin with and help arrives.

I'm wondering what happened to the two deserters... that went on their marry way. Talk about getting rid of cast members you don't need/care about?

I wonder if they'll pop up later on episodes, and become enemies... oh let's hope not. That would be too cliche in my opinion.

Ex con is really cool. Motivating his commanding officer like that. Telling him to get up, that he has to make it. Sweet.

Nice how they incorporated the fact if you keep an object in the event horizon that the wormhole on the gate keeps open. Very cool.

And the ship goes on its way... with the air supply thing fixed. Allowing them to survive.

Not to mention some music about "Don't forget to breathe" playing over it all.

Well, except for the fact of the small sucker ship that was stuck to the vessel... that flys off when they're in hyperspace. Hmmm, interesting.

Yep, the adventure continues. Can't wait till next week. Love the show!

Suicidal Ideation

 Over the years I've had to deal with suicidal ideation. Those are thoughts of being dead, some more extreme than others. It causes issues for me a lot of the time. It's not an easy thing to talk about at all. Here's what it is: Suicidal ideation ( suicidal thoughts )  are thoughts or ideas centered around death or suicide . Experiencing suicidal ideation doesn’t mean you’re going to kill yourself, but it can be a warning sign.

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
