Really a great episode and a fitting finale. They writers didn't have time to prepare an episode to tie it all up, and I'm kind of glad they left it open like they did. I'm so going to miss this series and the great characters. But in my mind they are still out there, traveling and heading closer to home.
I liked the episode, but they are still headed in the opposite direction of home.

They have never stopped trying to get back home. Rush may have his "cosmic mission", but they are still looking for way to gate back home - or find another way. Regardless of the path of Destiny.

Desperate times Mike, perhaps it was a little social commentary? ;)

Profound foresight if so!

Fantstic ending.....but I can't help feeling that the SGU ending was based on the opening episode of Red Dwarf.....

...or, after over 2 years of doing Red Dwarf podcasts, am I just seeing it everywhere...?

That's Alaina Huffman Bryan - and she's pregnant in that photo. Here's another look at her and Elyse from "Stargate Universe." So, I think you meant to say - she's 'phat.'

Va-va-va-voom!

Woo hoo. I oved the latest too we got over here - (the two part, loosely linked follow-up to the earlier 'messing with time' story I talekd about).

Very well managed and well porytayed by all concerned. Done differently, the most recent could have made a very good series finale (in US speak ;)).

Another new one on tonight then the final, final episode next week. I hope it's worthy.

Mike - you need to keep in mind the series people didn't know this was it for them. So, don't expect a resolution to things by any means.

Feathers · June 07, 2011, 12:07:28 AM

No, I realise that. That's why it's a hope more than an expectation. I'm certainly not expecting resolution, but at least a sensible place to put the story down for a while (or forever).

From what I hear, the writers are said to have hedged their bets a little in the ending such that it could go either way (cancellation or a new season). Knowing how next season was supposed to pick up, I think I know the broad strokes of what I'm going to see and if it's done well enough, I'll cope with living with it.

Whatever, roll on next week!

Maybe the show will come back in about 3 years. Keeping with the actual timeline in the story. I can hope of course.

Of course you can :) Don't hold your breath while you do though.

I also meant to to say that I loved the throwaway "What am I, Captain Kirk?" line from Young in the most recent episode (here). The Sci-Fi references continue to the end by the looks of things.

Got way behind on this series. I did find it on Netflix though. I didn't care for this series as much as Atlantis. I enjoyed the way the other two series were done compared to this one.

Feathers · June 15, 2011, 12:41:54 AM

Well, having seen the finale on Monday, I'm pretty pleased with the way they brought it to a conclusion, despite the fact that the story was really only just starting to get into it's stride.

There were enough 'final moments' to give a sense of closure to the series even though the tale was ongoing and there are enough hooks in place that they could resume a way down the line if they really wanted to (no, I don't expect this to happen).

Given that they were initially contracted for two seasons, they obviously had a fair idea that this could be their final outing and so played it accordingly.

Still, I'm sad to see the end of what was possibly my favourite series on TV at the moment.
