Favourite Moments/Quotes/Bittersweet Goodbyes from 'Gauntlet'

[m626]

Eli mentioning to Young about the research he and Brody did on the stasis chambers and Rush rolloing his eyes.

[MattSilver 3k]

Young's "family" speech, complete with Rush's reaction to being called the crazy Uncle.

My Gods... It's the end.

[Pharaoh Atem]

Young's "family" speech, complete with Rush's reaction to being called the crazy Uncle.

My Gods... It's the end.

i missed that whole speech. i'll power up the DVR ater

[Replicator Todd]

Seeing the Gate Room's lights go out.

[SGJ]

The lights go out on Destiny, SGU, and the Stargate fanchise as a whole.

[imperio]

Stargate Universe has gone out with....a whimper....and The Stargate Series has gone out with...a Bang.....its the end of an era, for 17 years Stargate has graced Television, for 7 years its graced my computer and Tv. and now its gone and now im sad

ohh best part was the last 10 minutes

[Traveler Enroute1]

This will probably be my favorite Stargate Universe episode, so picking fave pieces is kind of hard. But I'll go for it anyway.

Eli's mother giving her son the green light to pursue his own life guilt free, without her.

Young's words to Eli of encouragement and hope.

The Family speech and the crew's 'last supper' before stasis.

Battle scenes - especially the tension when flying the shuttle remotely and hoping the ruse worked- yipes!

Showing the Stargate (sob!) powering off, and the ship going dark.

Man, it's really the end. Is this Stargate's destiny, too?

[The Destiny]

Young: "well, that goes without saying.. I'm notoriously hard to please.."

I loved how this supposed cliffhanger was the perfect ending for the show, despite cancellation. It felt like a natural ending, from where they might continue one day. Perfect. Bloody perfect.

[Cold Fuzz]

Just completed another re-watch, and found a few more good moments:

• Young thanking Lisa Park for her good idea and holding her hand to let her know. Immediately afterward, Greer held her hand too.
• Eli wanting to shake Young's hand. Instead, Young hugs him.
• Upon seeing the Destiny literally scrape one of the command ships, I saw a few little sparks as the two ships made contact. Good FX detail work there.
• Telford and Young shaking hands. Good moment, especially given their differences in season 1.
• Seeing the stargate for the last time. A powerful and sad moment.

[Dr Lee]

the final few scenes.... seeing the lights being turned off on the ship... Definite lump in the throat moment...

[Lahela]

Lisa watching the rain
"Mr Wallace"
Eli's smile at the end
The ship going dark
"Sweet dreams"
Young/Telford handshake
Young/Eli hug
Rush's smile at Eli's "You've been pretty consistent"

And so many more...

[doomsday-guy]

Rush's little "Ah ********" as he tries to come up with another idea.

[JustAnotherVoice]

The unfortunate implications of having Matt and Chloe kiss as the shot after Young calls them (with close ups) sons and daughters. Crowning moment of awkwardly awesome.

[Carter1994]

Blowing up the seed ship (oooooh yes)
Young's speech (complete with crazy old uncle)
Rush calling Eli "Mr. Wallace" (augh! Stop making me want to cry!)
Park seeing the rain (dang, that was good)
The lights going off (not gonna cry, not gonna cry...)
Destiny disappearing into the distance...

(yep, there goes the tear)

[P5C768]

Volker's Rock, Paper Scissors analogy. I'll miss the Volker-Brody banter...
