Opinions on resolving the last ep's cliff hanger?

[Esquin]

So how did you all feel about the way they resolved the stuff from lost?

Personally I felt a bit let down, that whole arc was really great and they just seemed to resolve the stranded team issue a little too easily. It was a great episode on it's own but considering the way they resolved Lost it felt a little too easy.

It was probably one of the most anticlimactic payoffs I've ever seen.

[KEK]

Agreed, though there was that much going on I barely noticed to be honest...

[escyos]

it was ok, i was expecting the blue aliens (anyone known when they gate aboard?). but when rush said it was ok, i knew what was going on.

It was a little weird wasn't it. It was kind of like where you lose your toothbrush and then you look behind the mouth wash and go 'oh there it was' and go back to life as normal.

Just lacked a bit of something, maybe a bit from the stranded trio's end may have been a bit more exciting, but it didn't detract from the ep for mine. They went on with other exciting things so no biggie.

It was anticlimactic and entirely predictable. But it was also the only way to do it in the current situation. Which is why it was predictable.

I'd have liked them to do a parallel story, with them continuing their planet-hopping and meeting advanced cultures, hoping for a ride out of the galaxy. And it would all end in failure, with them dying, but hey...Can't have it all.

probably the worst and stupidiest thing on SGU so far

Had to happen. The three were main characters, and short of spending weeks off ship and somehow getting back to the Destiny via aliens, this was about it.

It doesn't deter last week's ending in the slightest for me. I can't fault the show for bringing the three back home nice and simple-like. It happened. We're all over it. (And FYI, Rush's return was just as predictable to me, but that doesn't make Justice's cliffie any less great).

and that's the best post i've ever read from you. and i agree.

Initial when they had the gate dialing, i was hoping it WAS the blue aliens, and that preview we saw of them was coming true. BUT then i realized that after rush told greer it is ok, that it was what they planned to do for the trio left.
So yes it was to me anticlimactic.

I would have preferred a "Helo on Caprica" mini arc with the blues eventually caputuring them, then holding them for ransom, with a blow off early next season. I would have liked to see Eli being the 3rd wheel instead of just a reference to it.

[Lt. Jeffer]

i was very disapointed how they got back when they step through the gate i just tought thats it ?
and the three was to calm it was almost like they just had a nice picknick and came home

[thekillman]

it seemed a bit too... easy.

[Commander Zelix]

It was crap.

[actuallyliam]

I think the worst part was this is the second time, they have left characters behind only for them too catch up the next episode, it pretty much makes "Lost" a rubbish episode, It was all about getting them back and they practically walk back. On other notes, for example destiny stopping so they could get back aboard, this would make sense possibly, if the destiny hadn't left the 2 people who gated off the Desert Planet in "Air Part 3" behind.

I was wishing that it going too be a major story arc, like they were going too find a way home. Or at least investigate the aliens. Was looking forward too it, they set all the ground work there. Yet no pay off, They had Scott (John), Eli (Mckay/Carter) and Chloe (Daniel). If we are indeed at the edge of the galaxy does that mean that these aliens are not going too return.

[Gollumpus]

It did seem all a bit rushed. It's as though the creators of SGU were writing some kind of final exam and they had spent most of their time doing the first few questions. When the announcement was made that there was only five minutes left, they had to scramble to try to wrap up the various story threads before time was fully up (or Destiny had left the current galaxy).

I think a mini arc would have been amazing, all building up to a bigger cliff hanger at the end of the season.

But hey we're not the writers so we don't get to make these choices, and in the interests of not causing trouble and keeping to the "positive attitude" thing i'll not give my opinion on why this sorta stuffs been going on more and more.

Hopefully though they learn and really start to put in some suspenseful and action packed long term stuff next season.

[dacooker]

As Sabotage progressed, they didn't really mention the 3 left behind, besides saying they can't be saved. I was getting the feeling as the episode went on, that maybe they won't get back right away. Maybe it may take a few episodes with some 'REALLY' creative writing. The FTL drive blows, then they get an off world activation, and presto guess whois back. I guess keeping it simple works.

[jelgate]

Froma logical POV it made sense. But from a story POV it was quite mundane and predictible.

[Major_Griff]

Totally lame to bring them back like that. I was hoping for a long story arc with them on their own at least for the rest of the season. And story wise non of these characters are essential to have on the Destiny because any thing Scott can do could be done by Young, Greer, or James, anything Eli can do could be done by Rush, Volker, or Brody (I know he supposedly smarter than all of them but still) and Chloe doesn't really have a job on the ship. So, like I said story wise they could have kept them separated from Destiny for a while and not miss anything. Very disappointing that they resolved this in this way. Totally makes the whole epsiode of 'Lost' pointless.
