Stargate: Universe - possible spoilers

I'm slightly annoyed we have to wait another week for this. Apparently you have a week break somewhere in the run but we'll breeze straight through so we have to make up for it by waiting an extra week befor the return :(

Mike I think the UK tends to be a week or so behind on TV from over here. Be happy you don't have to wait months for things like we do with UK programming sometimes.

What have folks been thinking of the new episodes since the series came back? I'm liking it for the most part, although I still think they need to work out their issues and start working as a team. If they don't I see no way for them to survive out there. Conflict once in awhile is ok, but not week after week. Anyway, still has me pretty hooked to see what's going to happen.

I am really enjoying it. I like how they aren't just blowing over the conflict. Sure, it's inconvenient, but that makes it seem more real to me. Too many people want to rule and that just doesn't fade away.

One trouble I have is no one really has a better plan for things. It just looks like a power struggle for the sake of power. I think they need to quickly find a way to compromise and get along. I mean the entire season has pretty much focused on this. Now keep in mind I am enjoying the show for the most part. I just find it getting a bit old.

I read what you wrote and instantly thought about politics. No one seems to have a plan that will work for everyone, but both sides are focused on power for the sake of the other side not having it. Unless you start air locking the opposition, it's going to be hard to get past. I think that the head dude understands that and that's probably the only reason he hasn't let everyone know that it was Rusch that set him up as a murderer.

I hope the whole military/civilian control at least becomes a side plot. I love the "Irony" Eli pointed out

I think what both sides are forgetting is that they are not on Earth. The normal rules and protocols don't really apply. What they have to decide is what gives them the best chance to survive? And that is working together.

The last episode titled, "Faith" was really good. I was very impressed by the acting, as I have been all along with this show. And now I can see elements of them starting to come together and work as a team. I'm liking this new direction a lot.

I too really enjoyed this last episode. Things are starting to gel now. I think everyone is realizing that in order to have any hope at all, they are going to need to work together. Rush is such an interesting character as well as a few others.

Feathers · May 06, 2010, 06:31:09 AM

I agree. The way these latest episodes have run seem to be getting over the whole 'settling in period' both inside and outside of the story itself.

If the form they are moving into now settles down just a little more and gets taken into season two then I'm happy to keep watching.

(Plus they rfrerenced the Hitchhiker's Guide in the episode most recently shown over here so that's got to count for something positive, right?)

I love that reference, soon as they said 46 I thought "well its near 42" Then Danny boy says it (I like calling characters in stargate with sillier names....idk why)

Feathers · May 19, 2010, 06:55:42 AM

I know I'm a little behind (2 weeks as I haven't even seen the latest UK airing yet) but I was impressed with the last episode shown over here where
[spoiler]
two of the three left behind on the planet continued to be left behind after the event. Normal Stargate rules would have had them saved at the end of the first episode so to have continued this on into a third is quite a change in the way they're putting stories together now.[/spoiler]

I like it.

Having aid all of the above, I was a little let down by the way they eventually resolved what I was talking about.

It was cool that they did what they did but I think they could have the resolution just a little better.

Still enjoying the series overall though. I'm glad they've been picked up for another season.

Rico · June 25, 2010, 04:06:45 PM

Just finished up watching the last episode of the season - really, really strong stuff. This series has grown on me and I can't wait for it's return for season two. Lots of things going on still and lots to resolve. I think it's a worthy successor for the franchise. But I do miss the other folks from Atlantis and SG-1 quite a bit too still. If you are in the US, you can catch up on www.hulu.com. Definitely worth checking out.
