Wow, this episode was one MAJOR bummer! Nothing, absolutely nothing interesting happened in this episode. So many things ruined it for me:
- Those stupid stones! Young: 'Eli, grab a stone, visit your Mom'. For crying out loud, it ruins the whole 'lost-in-space'-theme of the show. Give us the backstory by flashbacks, kinda like Lost, and keep them REALLY lost in space. Get rid of the stones, quickly!
- The Earth-based stories: show us the characters associated with the crew and show us their pain of missing their loved ones. That makes me care more. Where is the real drama if they can just use the stupid stones and go home? Like in the episode 'Life' the stones-stories absorb too much time of unknown-galaxy-awesomeness and are generally very boring too watch. Like with 'Life' this episode was just too boring to watch, no suprise the viewing numbers plummeted.
- The main story: it doesn't get enough attention! We want too see the unknown universes and all the wonders the destiny has to offer. Instead we get entire episodes of useless stone-action and endless quarreling about the Lucian Alliance stuff. Just like Voyager did with the Maquis we all know they will become close friends in a matter of a few episodes.
- Humor and adventure: absolutely absent.
- Original ideas: the entire premise is a mix of Voyager and BSG, 2 shows each with their flaws but so much more compelling to watch.
I must point out that i do love the premise of SGU and it had good episodes like Air, Time, Space and last weeks Awakening. But overall it has to grow FAST to avoid cancellation. Go SGU!
