It's episode 9 of Stargate Babies - i.e. Universe - and the plot has still gone nowhere. The weekly sex scene has now ballooned to two or three a week, this week with a little lesbian sex thrown in for good measure.
There's no strong antagonist. It's nothing but a soap opera in which the people happen to be in space hopelessly distant from Earth. Oh wait, they can still travel back to Earth to engage in jealousy with their spouses.
Eli, Mr. 10,000 cliche joke comments a week, is getting really tiring especially when he ends every sentence like a question? But it's good to see in the writers' minds a slacker who dropped out of school and never studied anything or applied himself to anything can instantly pick up alien technology. He doesn't even apply himself to that, but somehow gets it.
The show is spiraling into a meaningless drone, worse even than the moral relativity of the new BSG - "the bad guys are just like us."
