[Derocalypse]

This was an alright episode for me. Some cool parts and some boring parts.

BAG fans are gonna be pissed.

BAG was an obelisk aliens sleeper agent. He'll be back.

[major davis]

BAG transcends the Faith aliens

BAG IS the reason they got back to Destiny.. no need to explain.

[the fifth man]

Sad that all of them died. Good episode though.

At least he went out with acknowledgement by Rush, "I'm sure Mr Chin once had a full head of hair..." (I'm paraphrasing, don't have actual quote.)

TI actually like Caine in Faith but his over the top of preaching his beliefs got annoying.

I LOVED Caine in this episode because despite all of his preaching and assurances about faith we saw that all he had was doubt and fear. Even in the end when everyone else was dead on that shuttle he admits that he doesn't want to die. Typically a person who is absolute certain of their religious beliefs would not fear death under those harsh circumstances. The character would be annoying f didn't have any of these doubts.

By the way he has convinced himself that he is a shadow of who he once was when in fact I'm guessing, biologically and spiritually speaking, he is absolutely the same because the alien beings saved him in the nick of time.

why did they all die? where they already dead when they got back to the ship? if so, what killed them again? who killed them?

[0datdude0]

Sooo did he die? I know he thought he was already dead but it looked like the aliens got there just in time.

Anyway it was nice of these people to fix up the shuttle send those people back and not leave a note . . . .

1 died from a tree falling on her.
5 died from freezing to death.
1 we're not sure what his fate was.

the aliens brought them back to life to explain to the crew what happen on the planet and then their all slowly started to die from the same fates on the planet.

Supposedly they all died on the planet they stayed on in Faith, with the possible exception of Caine. They were somehow reanimated and when they got back to Destiny, they started dying again one by one. Wray hypnotized Caine and one of the other men and found out some of the things that had happened while they were still on the planet and how each of them had actually died. One was hit by a falling tree; the rest pretty much froze to death. Caine was the last one still alive and begged to be helped survive, at which point there was a bright light, ... and next thing he knew he was on the shuttle next to Destiny.

And dagnabit, I was actually in tears during that last scene between Caine and TJ.

If these aliens are so powerful, I don't see why they couldn't fully restore all of those people. And not just temporarily.

but what was the 'purpose' of bringing them all back (and back to life), only to have them all die again?

if the aliens could reanimate them, why let them die again?

[Ekras]

Maybe they assumed they would have the technology to save them? The Ancients were way ahead of us and based on the ship, could have thought we were them.

They may have thought the shuttle crashed and the crew were stranded and died waiting for rescue or something... so they fixed the ship and sent the crew back as best they could, assuming we could fix them the rest of the way.

I'm wondering this too.

However, it could maybe be to bring back a completely repaired, like brand shiny new shuttle? For future use by the Destiny crew. Apparently they repaired everything on it, and it was like it had never even been used.

And (p.s.) why not just watch the episode?

[0datdude0]

Let them say good buy get a decent meal and die among there people? An once of kindness. . . or the new shuttle loaded with plot devices for them to abuse ?

Some how I wonder if the Ancients didn't built a better destiny and when we get tot he end they will be sitting there waiting to see if the hairless monkeys they left on earth could make it this far with that old ship they forgot about.

[ns2]

maybe they brought them back for final goodbye

[morbosfist]

The fact that they died is probably toying with the metaphysical idea that though these aliens could repair and restore the human body in every detail, they couldn't restore the soul.
