SGU: Divided

Okay... so this week Dr. Rush and the civilans take over the ship. Surprise surprise... was only a matter of time.

The Military have control over lifesupport... the civilians have control over everything else.

Apparently there was a tracking device placed on the ship and one in Rush's chest next to his heart by the aliens from last week.

Of course the aliens come knocking.

I keep asking myself... will they ever find a way to stop the ship from making jumps etc. Will they ever have complete control over the ship? Hmmm...

So the military come after the civilians. For some reason Chloe is all "Hey you're doing this" blah blah blah. Just because she was taken by aliens... can't mean that she wants to be pushing people around. Sure she's pissed etc. and has nightmares... but eh. She's misguided that Rush will help her and save the day... just because he helped her out on the alien vessel.

So the aliens start firing on the ship. Rush and Eli get the shields up.

Colonel Young finds Rush... the military points guns at the civilians. Typical civilan vs. military struggle. Interesting how each side thinks they know which is best for the entire ship.

The procedure for knocking Rush out was classic. Alien vennom.

So they bring in a doctor to remove the tracking device in Rush's chest. She quickly finds out that they are under attack... and is clearly overwhelmed by what's going on.

Half way through the procedure, the connection is lost. Chloe comes back to her hand in Rush's chest.

Wow, didn't mean for this to be a play by play... shoot.

Long story short, they get the device out of Rush... and the ship continues on its way.

Favorite quote from episode:
"If you have to use force, so be it. We still have to live with these people tomorrow."

I wonder if the aliens will be a continual part of the series... or if they'll just be here for a few episodes. I guess we'll find out.

All in all, I didn't like the episode... but I didn't hate it either.

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.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Babylon 5 Destruction

 I always get emotional watching the last episode of Babylon 5. Especially the destruction of the station. There are so many good memories of the series that it's just emotional watching JMS flipping the switch and the station exploding as the last transport leaves. It's like oh the series is really over. The station has served its purpose not needed anymore. Was peace ever really achieved though? It makes me wonder. I've only watched the series once all the way through, I'm on a second rewatch. One of my favorite characters is Mr. Morden. I'm not sure why that's the case, he's creepy as all get out. I just know that he intrigues me for some reason or another. Kosh is also a mystery, but he's meant to be that way. He's an alien that no one seems to understand or grasp. The whole story arc is simply amazing. It was television ahead of its time. I'm glad it was made. Talk about a brilliant television series. It was one of the first serialized shows...
