So
The more and more I reas SGU fic (out of desperation), the more and more I come to the conclusion I'm actually going to have to try to watch the series again, because there are questions that I'm sure have to be answered somewhere in the show.
That's all that's coming to mind right now, but there are littlerally dozens of them. I NEED TO KNOW.
- Basic hygiene supplies. Toothpase. Shampoo. Soap. None of these were likely to be things people thought to take with them during the evacuation and, even if one person had, it's not going to last aproximately 40 people 2+ years. But they had to do something, because a lot of the women in the show had nice, long, shiny hair.
- On that note, feminine hygiene products. Also something probably not taken with them during the evacuation of Icarus, and something for which there'd be a distinct need. And, considering they mostly had only the clothes on their back and they'd not yet encountered any civilizations by the time I stopped watching, it's not like they had any clothes to sacrifice to the cause.
- Were all the bedclothes just there?
- Birth control. There are a number of healthy, presumably fertile, people on board and presumably at least some of them are having sex on a regular basis. It's a fact that historical methods of birth control don't work all that well and I doubt they have stores of the modern versions onboard. Plus, accidents happen. How had it not by the end of the series?
- Nair scisors. Nail scisors. All the stuff that should be under #1 but you don't normally think of.
- Toilet paper.
That's all that's coming to mind right now, but there are littlerally dozens of them. I NEED TO KNOW.
And is there like a secret circle of all the women on the crew who got together to figure out what to do about #2? Or who try to remember all the old wives tales their grandmas told them about preventing pregnancy on the off chance one of them is right?
