I just finished an intense three day re-watch of season two, having only just seen the last three episodes for the first time only a week ago, and I am in awe of the sheer quality in the storyline's compared to season one.
I watched season one from the beginning and enjoyed it but definitely felt that it was a slow burner that could put some fans off and when season two came about I didn't catch it all so was not fully versed in sgu. But after watching the last few episodes I had to watch it all in order, fast.
I loved the way the rush character evolved, from an unlike-able (to some) person with little redeeming qualities and morally and ethically destitute to the guy you love to hate and find yourself wanting him to do commit his indiscretions.
Also I felt his real character emerged from the loss of Amanda perry onwards, the guy does have feelings after all, who knew!!
I particularly enjoyed the episode where he ' performs a thorough diagnostic of one of the stasis pods' brilliant. I cant help but compare him to the Dr smith (I think that was his name) character from lost in space, My favourite Rush line had to be from twin destinies when young suggests that the other Rush may have chose to go down with the ship, to which Rush simply says " well it doesn't sound like me"
But the whole season in general had more of an sg feel to it which I didn't feel the first season had enough off. In episodes like common descent and the hunt and a few others that were predominately off world you get that old skool sg style and it was a nice reminder of the show that made it all possible
I have loads of what ifs to ask but will do that elsewhere, just wanted to express my appreciation of the end product and all it was.
