I can't imagine Telford would let just anyone Quantum Leap into his body. Sooner or later someone would sleep with his wife.

Makes you wonder if the swapping is gender-matched...
"We're sorry; a connection could not be made. The recipient is a *MALE* while our systems show you to be a *FEMALE*. Please try again later when a *FEMALE* recipient is available."
Also, I don't know what Scott is thinking. Lt James/Willa > Chloe. IMO.

Unless the custom model they're using has an added feature, then probably not. After all, Vala swapped into Daniel's body back at the end of Season 9 of SG-1.

Ooh, a Gateworld "extra" video has Eli wandering around the ship with the Kino, annoying people and in general not doing anything special. However, it does show that Eli HAS taken over the Kino room as his quaretrs, using the bench behind the main console as his bed.

I don't think they intended to get enough ice to replace all they had lost, just *some* to help add to the water they had available.
Although, you'd think the Destiny would have a water recycler of some kind, and if it's efficiency was worth a crap 40,000 liters should be plenty for a long while. Especially if it recycled water in the air as well as wastewater.

Yeah, but part of the problem was that the water was disappearing at a ridiculous rate. More than anyone could possibly steal, and more than could be accounted for by a supposedly-sealed system.

I know, I mean, why bother going to get a little bit of ice if the 40,000L they have left would suffice? So Destiny must not have a very efficient recycling system, or maybe they just haven't turned it on yet.

No, the point was that the ship DOES have an efficient system, but the computer couldn't account for the lost water. They would've been fine if it weren't for the bugs hogging the water.

I guess I'm still confused...if the problem was only that they didn't know where the water was going, why did they stop to get a tiny bit of ice?

No, they die of thrust when the inertial dampeners fail.

I always found it strange Daniel Jackson never got confused trying to translate some alien text and couldn't because someone spelled it wrong.

Braa I am not making myself clear again! I mean, I should think 40,000 liters is plenty for them not to die of thirst if Destiny has a recycling system. But it must not because they went out to get a piffling amount of ice (half a ton of ice is about 500L or so). 500L compared to 40,000 is nothing. If 40,000 wouldn't last, what would 500 do? What's the point, unless they have no recycler so they need every drop they can find.
Not die...must not...piffling...ok, I think I got all my thoughts in order there. *adds italics for rant emphasis*

You've been making yourself abundantly clear, but I don't know if you have been understanding what others are saying. Yes, they had 40 000L of water. The fact that it was decreasing at such an alarming rate is why they went to get the ice just so they'd have something to drink, anything at all. If they hadn't discovered the bugs the water would all disappear and they'd have nothing.
