They ARE serious!

According to Stargate TPTB, rape is a "moral dilemma"!

"As for the Eleanor/Camile body swapping episode specifically, he told me sex between bodies (i.e. body swapping) is introduced early in the series, and is an ongoing moral dilemma on the show with serious moral consequences, and this event is no different." Link

The characters on the show will, more than once, use someone else's body to have sex! MORE. THAN. ONCE! The body of someone who never consented to let them use their body for sex in the first place. If that's not rape, I will eat my hat. And they think it's a "moral dilemma"? It's a CRIME FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

If I ever had any notion to watch the show, they squashed it now totally. They couldn't make the characters more unlikable if they wanted to. I think I'm going to be sick.

I just can't wrap my head around the fact that they label it a "moral issue". Rape is a crime and if the characters aren't put on trial and sentenced to prison, I can't see any real consequences.

Oh, I'm sure they'll feel really bad about it - for all of the two minutes before the show moves on to another storyline.
