  • This scene is from Stargate Universe Season 2 Episode 15, Seizure. Spoilers abound.
    After Amanda and Ginn are uploaded to Destiny's computer systems, Amanda says they are being erased to save Rush's life. Then Eli reveals all he did was quarantene them, which is better than erasing them, but seems pissed off about it. I've never seen so much scorn from one man.

    This video is merely meant to accompany my blog where I include commentary on this scene, to give context. Which falls under fair use. I do not include the entire episode so it doesn't cost the producers anything, the public will still need to buy the DVD if they want the full episode, which I suggest they do, it's a great show.

    This is not a confusing scene at all when you understand their story, it is tremendously heartbreaking to see a woman who couldn't love because she was paralyzed from the neck down, and a guy named rush took interest in her and brought out her potential. She gets a short amount of time in a virtual environment to experience love and she gets robbed from it to save rush's life. This is not confusing, its heartbreaking.

    Love this moment. How can your programme what love is. Everyone experienced this different. Rush love her. It just not the same way she love him and how she write the program to work. It tragic.

      It's at the root of a lot of philosophical questions. How do we know the red I see is the same red you see? How do we know our brains interpret them the same way? The same goes for emotions, only more so. What I define as love is probably very different then how you define it. And when programming a computer, you need to define this stuff. You need to define everything. You need to define what addition is. Love is even more nebulous then that.
      It's bizarre though. Dr. Perry's smart. She should know that kind of definition is hard, if nothing else.

    If the show had continued, and Ginn and Amanda were eventually let out of quarantine, I imagine Ginn or someone else will point out to Amanda some critical error in her programming of the simulation, which would mean that some arbitrary parameter of the simulation kept Rush inside, and Rush might actually love her. Will she realize the truth of this, in her beyond-human state, or will she prefer to be a little too "human" and stay hurt by continuing to believe that Rush just doesn't love her? SGU had the potential to explore serious questions like this, such as what is the nature of consciousness. Heck, the Ancients kept doing experiments on this question for over a million years!

      as intelligent and as sentient as Destiny is, it's still a computer. It doesn't understand that people can move on and love again. Remember, in "Human", Rush tells Gloria (which is really Destiny) that he hasn't forgotten her and he he never will. That I think is the cause of the problem. Destiny doesn't understand how Rush can love his (now dead) wife and Amanda because to Destiny he can only love and not the other.

    What is the name of the soundtrack

    • @DJJonPattrsn22
      @DJJonPattrsn22 5 лет назад

      @SuperStandard: It is simply the original soundtrack composed for the episode by Joel Goldsmith. I don't know that it really has a formal name; perhaps the name of the episode? The musical motif most prominent in this clip is thematically linked to the female character "Amanda Perry".
      This music composed for this series is in my opinion the masterpiece of Joel Goldsmith who passed away in 2012. Joel was also the main composer for the Stargate franchise, but with this series he really stretched out and took the score to a whole new level.
      I find all of the music from this series especially moving and intensely emotive.

    @Kiauze I think it was a bit confusing because Amanda was acting as if she was dying. Why not say she was being placed into quarantine?

    • @random3857
      @random3857 7 лет назад +3

      How would she know the difference? If you transfer files into a quarantine today they are basically locked down, prevented from running. Her being deleted or transfered to quarantined would seemingly be the same. Deleting her would remove her data a few GB per second, transfering her to quarantine would do the same with the tansferred files being disabled.

      @chets123456: Neither Amanda Perry nor Gyn appear again (come back) after this episode. I'm sure that we would have seen more of them had the series not been prematurely cancelled. Clearly they weren't killed, but it seems as though there was no way to separate their consciousnesses (that anyone had figured out yet), nor for the crew to interact with them once in quarantine-that is the definition of quarantine, right?
      It seems that Amanda Perry didn't fully know or understand what was going on-what Eli was doing...
