Maybe he is almost drunk like me? But I bet it has more to do with him working 3rd shift at Tescos.... :p

And tonight I am on here at four because I am arguing with people over the deep moral question:

If Sam Beckett lept into Christina Aguilera on a mission to **** your brains out would you still go to bed with her despite it being a man's spirit in a woman's body, where the host may not have given consent?

This is a thorny one, but when we have an answer we'll be right back.

As long as Sam didn't feel the need to tell you and you knew no better then where's the problem? Though if the leap occurred during or even right after, suddenly it becomes rape. Which raises all sorts of other problems.

Don't forget that there's a shirtless photo of me in the pictures thread. I wouldn't blame him. :glance:

This is actually in the area of questions raised by the Dollhouse tv show, though consent is even more murky here. If Sam is in her body, and she's in the "waiting room" or whatever, and it's for the good of the world and all, one might be inclined to say no harm done. But the "what she doesn't know won't hurt her" argument might be used by someone trying to justify using date rape drugs.... Weighty philisophical questions you discuss at 4 AM ;) ....

Actually, I'll take the obvious answer: it wouldn't be a problem in my case because Christina would say yes if she had the chance :headbang: :smokin: ;) :joke:

If your one true love Miss Trachtenberg heard you saying that she'd give you a good tongue lashing.

What actually happens to a host when Sam quantum leaps out after a successful mission? Are they supposed to be aware of what happened, or even of Sams' control?

I think that's on e of the things the show was (probably wisely) very vague on. Considering that even something as simple as if he's in his body and just looks different to everyone else or is in possession of them changes from episode to episode the rules are somewhat fast and loose.
