It has been like this all along. The writing from the beginning definitely had a direction and you would tell right away that there would be growth. I knew from the episodes darkness and light that their plan was to go long and go deep. It's the same show it was from the beginning.

Although I do think season 1 would have been to soon to do something like an episode like this they should have had episodes like this in season one no doubt if they had episodes more often like this sgu prob wouldn't have been canceled this really takes me back to the old sg1 eps where the first time they go back in time and meet young general hammon and stuff like that it's great to have episodes like this it's sad that sgu is canceled now

Originally posted by Replicator Todd View PostLoved seeing the Drones again. The city at the ending was just awesomely done.
Originally posted by Lt.Colonel John Sheppard View Postreally enjoyed seeing how the other destiny crew lived and it made me have this feeling of how the pilgrams first came over here to the U.S
Originally posted by morbosfist View PostCan't wait for the repeat to see the first half, because the second alone was awesome. The city was amazing, the drones were relentless as always. I particularly loved how they blew an entire section out of the gate. That was a nice touch. You never saw that in the other series.
Originally posted by SG-17 View PostThe city was amazing, I just wish that we would have found it populated on the verge of disaster, kind of like SGA's Inferno.
Originally posted by Lt.Colonel John Sheppard View PostEli is starting to become the Daniel Jackson of the group when they were in the village and he wanted to see the testament.
Originally posted by morrismike View PostWhat do you want to bet the rush worshippers unleashed those drones on the galaxy?
Originally posted by Lt.Colonel John Sheppard View Postthose colonists really were stranded. i mean they didn't even have the communication stones to let earth know.
Originally posted by Airlock View Posti got this feeling that Rush knew more about what was going on than he led on.
Originally posted by Airlock View PostRush is a moody b**ch sometimes. I was really confused by his actions on the bridge when Wray tried to introduce him. It's like he was hardcore dodging. Even when Eli first proposed the theory that the other Destiny crew was sent back in time, there was this closeup shot of Rush with a look on his face as if the others were getting closer to a truth he was hoping they'd never find out. And it just seems odd that all this fascinating stuff is happening and Rush carries on not only uninterested, but seemingly anti. Strange to say the least. I'd like to think we'll get more on this next episode.
Originally posted by m626 View PostRush has mixed feelings about all of this. He's probably relieved in his own crazy way that his alternate self didn't kill the crew when the wormhole disengaged and is upset to know a portion of the crew's descendants think of him as a demon.
Originally posted by goga View PostThe people had solar panels because their home planet was almost as advanced as ours.
What would be really cool is if somehow the people made contact with Asgard and the other 4 races. That would have been siiiiick. I would have loved to see some reference to the Furlings, or one of the others. Ancients were around before that, but maybe 2k years ago there was some war and alliances forming between other races. zomg
Now, as for Rush, my opinion as someone who understands him, is that he is just plain uncomfortable with the idea of being thought of as anything more than a man. He might also be uncomfortable with the idea of a fully developed planet where the crew might want to disembark and live out their lives there. It would have to be tempting to some, to get off the ship and live in a modern world again, even if it wasn't Earth.
Originally posted by LeonK View PostLiked this episode more than last week's.
Did find it odd, though, that the colony had no form of entertainment, like their version of a gameboy or tv.....and also that they didn't seem to have any real weapons other than a knife.....and why didn't they have some form of vehicle? Are they advanced enough to build giant cities or aren't they?
Meh, strangely enough the little annoying things don't seem so annoying to me tonight, probably because I liked the episode more than last week's.
Originally posted by PrometheOSS View PostWho knows??? Maybe they are more advanced now than THE Ancients that built Destiny.
Originally posted by Pecisk View PostEven if you can't buy it legally anywhere? And there is no any hope that you ever have any chance to?
Originally posted by Sue_Jackson View PostI've decided I don't like Rush anymore. He has become a bitter, cynical, S.O.B. He has lost all emotion, and is too rapped up in Destiny that he doesn't even seem human anymore. He's lost his passion. He's more like a robot.
Originally posted by Mr Evil 37 View PostI can't think of any character that Robert Carlyle has played that I DIDN'T like. Rush is just so devious, so manipulating, so mysterious; you are never quite sure of what he is doing or why. I love characters who are flawed and more interesting like that.

What a great episode this was. Definitely one of Universe's finest episodes to date. Seeing this episode made me even more upset about the cancellation though. What a shame that this is almost over. But for now, I just want to look forward to next week. I can't wait to see what happens next.sigpic

After watching this ep, I've only got one question:
WHY THE HELL WOULD MGM/SyFy CANCEL SG:U again??? This show should've been at the very bottom of the list when it came time to decide what to cancel....and this is one fan who's gonna wait until season 3 of any new series before speding (lest wasting) any time watching it.

Let's see....
1. very expensive to make
2. chased away the female viewers right off the bat
3. chased off franchise fans mid way thru first season
4. fear of cancellation prompted TPTB to make it watchable
5. the women and SG fans never looked back to realize it was the SG they grew up watching
6. the show is great now but the improvements in season 2 runs a risk of losing those fans that loved season 1
7. syfy can't make money
8. MGM had opportunity to profit share from sales of the original showings overseas and chose to stick it to syfy
9. Syfy dropped it
really it is just this simple
