Is this the first episode since Icarus boarded Destiny that Camile Wray has left Destiny to go planet side? Seems like it is for some reason.

[Captain James]

Not a bad episode

I thought she went off world in time, life, and faith

Just watched this episode (I've been behind for a while) and loved it! But now that has made me sad all over again that we only have three more episodes.

Still, awesome episode. Probably my favorite part of SGU is how Destiny serves as a mirror for society so that the writers can raise questions about ethics, politics, religion, etc. Now, they take Destiny's little sample of Earth society and extrapolate an entire new society from that sample. That's fascinating! It was interesting to see how little pieces of Destiny's culture became integral to their descendants, including the same disagreements and differences that have always made it difficult for the crew to form a cohesive community.

And dang, I love this show.

Still sad, though.

Nope. Never saw her in "Time", just used the stones in "Life" and stayed on Destiny in "Faith".

Damn.. Wonder why she has never left before?

Damn.. Wonder why she has never left before?

cause she is an IOA Representive.

I liked this episode, but where was Varro?

[General Jumper One]

He was MIE (missing in episode)

He was MIE (missing in episode)

On a ship with 80 people I wouldn't expect too much focus on him. After all he's nothing but a enemy redshirt.

I'll bite, what is this supposed to mean?

Oh, but I disagree. Red shirts don't get that much screen time and dialogue, do they?

I really don't understand why they write him in so much to the point where the episode seems to revolve around him, and then totally ignore him as if he doesn't exist in subsequent episodes. I would just prefer more consistency with his character, that's all.
