Though I seriously doubt they nuked DC, that's a hell of a cliffhanger to leave us on.

I really like the new character developments between Wray and Greer. I hope that they don't completely forget about that after this episode . I'm also eager to find out what happened to the Senator and the other scientist, and of course what happened at Homeworld Command.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

we'll find out in seizure.

First off, spoilers for the "Hope" promo:

Spoiler:

ARG NO, GINN'S CONSCIOUSNESS SURVIVING RUINS MY COOL ORIGINAL EPISODE IDEAS <_<

Now that that's out of the way... I can't decide between ***1/2 and a full ****, that was just such a good episode. These characters have come so far in just a season and a half, I really can't believe how fantastic SGU has become.

There are certain things that we know will never happen: (at least in the general accepted timeline, barring alteration or manipulation)

1) more than 2/3 main characters permanently die at the same time/episode
2) a major city is destroyed
3) Earth is destroyed/defeated
4) The entire universe flashes out of existence
5) The main set is destroyed
6) Every single enemy drops dead all at the same time

These are just things to remember, but when you add twists such as alternate timeline, alternate reality, simulations, dreams, hallucinations, "lantern-hanging", these all are possible.

I spent the first 20 minutes trying to figure out who the actor playing Covel was. Once I figured it out I felt really stupid for not picking up on it sooner.

Overall it was another really good episode.

It was a great "greer-wray" centered episode.
BUT my only quip.. Why the heck did they use that bonerhead guy for a scientist? Doesn't he usually play Dweebs in comedies??

I always imagined that at the end of Universe's five year run, they would discover how to control all time and space. And then they would mess it up and erase the entire multiverse.

Star names make for good advertising

Someone (sorry, I don't remember who) theorized that the Destiny's current crew was sent back in time to the beginning of time and became the initial Ancients, like a self-fulfilling prophecy... that'd be so messed up. I thought it was an interesting theory, but it wouldn't happen that way, nor would anyone want it to.

Good ****: All I got to say.

7 more... ;_;

I liked the episode, but it was a step down from the past two amazing episodes IMO.

I always love Lucian Alliance stuff though! Glad to be seeing more Varro.

Oh definitely not quite as good as the past two, but I'd say only barely on that lower tier. Excellent acting, story, and characters.
