Stargate: Universe - possible spoilers

[ori-STUDFARM]

Now thats weird how we can both look at the same scenario and you like what is potentially an annoyance for me, and I like what is potentially an annoyance for you.

Now if the show is really clever, it won't tackle the subject and we can both opt to believe what is our own personal preferences...

I am planning on watching this episode again to get more of the plot the second time...

[spoiler]as far as getting one of the creatures, didn't he turn around and shoot one just before ending his input into the documentation ball?  I assumed he would have just picked that up and tossed it into the wormhole with the ball, or put some of the creature's liquids into a tube....[/spoiler]

Maybe but...

[spoiler]...he said he was going through himself but even if he did throw the creature through it would have fully decomposed by the time they arrived. Rush's body was only a skeleton so I doubt the alien thing would fare much better.

Actually, given the time we're supposed to assume passed, I'm surprised the keenos weren't buried. Of course, the plot wouldn't have worked then :) [/spoiler]

I really liked the song at the beginning and end of the show, "worst day since yesterday".  Catchy tune!!

[Feathers]

A bit moreof what's becomming 'traditional' SGU this week (last week in the US). I also liked the song and enjoyed the episode well enough at the time. In retrospect, however, it's perhaps a little more soapy than I like. I would have liked a lot more playing about with...

[spoiler]the chair.

What makes them so sure it's not a control chair like on Atlantis anyway?[/spoiler]

Hopefully they can clear off a few of the suds for the next episode which I suspect is the last before the break.

WOW!  Quite a mid-season finale last night.  Don't read my spoiler unless you have seen the episode.

[spoiler]I kind of suspected Rush of being involved, but now he is marooned and left behind!?!  Of course he is right next to a crashed spaceship.  That might be helpful.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]This couldn't have happened to a nicer person. I'm glad to see him stranded, but I know that he's be back. I'm also getting quite attached the Greer. The more I see of him, the more I would like to have this guy by my side if I was in the suck. I think that he is one of my favorites because of that and I still love Eli.[/spoiler]

edit - I had to edit this post to put your comment in a spoiler box.  For some reason it was in a quote box.

I enjoyed the finale, very cool.

[spoiler]I wonder if that was the ship we saw in the first episode that took off from the hull?  Maybe?  It looked similar.[/spoiler]

[KingIsaacLinksr]

Woah!  I've been loving this series (and am thankful a friend of mine has DVR + Big screen + actually likes Stargate here in Oregon).  
[spoiler]I've been able to keep up and this last one was a shocker.  Sadly, I think Rush will be back, a bit toooo convient about the whole spaceship thing.  

Real convenient, but hey![/spoiler]  Great series so far!  *edit, oops, sorry Rico, forgot about that button.

An interesting way to start the mid season break.

BTW when did they start refering to these as 'mid season finales'? I've heard that a lot this year but don't recall doing so before...

Is it a new marketing thing to get the ratings up mid way thru by calling it a finale?

[Rico]

SyFy or Sci-Fi has been doing mid-season "finales" for awhile now.  Most of their shows, like the previous Atlantis went for 20 episodes a season (or so) and they typically break it up into two parts at the midway point.  USA does this too with shows like "Burn Notice."

[Feathers]

Well, an interesting way to end the run.

[spoiler]I was surprised it was the-guy-who's-name-I've-forgotten who died. I thought his mental state was going to play a bigger role in some future episode or two but I guess they went straight for the big shot finale for his part. Nice story.

I suspected Rush was behind things, simply so he could get control of his team and push someone into the chair. It worked.

It will be interesting to see how long he takes to rejoin (although how he'll trach the Destiny is anyone's guess).[/spoiler]

[Rico]

Well, the series returned last night here in the States at least.  Pretty cool episode with a lot going on.  I liked it.  Don't want to say too much yet.  The series is definitely growing on me now - even after the long delay in the season.  Looking forward to seeing more.

I thought the episode that brought it back was MUCH better than all of the rest.

[spoiler]
For starters it had cool aliens, and the CGI was pretty darn cool. 
The whole mutiny starting to come to a head adds great tension.
It was awesome to see the Destiny's weapons working.
Cool shuttle craft footage
LOVED the big slicing through the hull.  CLANG!
Interesting that the Dr. chose to not tell the whole truth about what happened and how he was marooned.
There is more to his story about how we was found by the aliens, that remains to be seen!

[/spoiler]

Now it's starting to become much more interesting with some action.

LOVE IT!
