Good episode.
The whole derelict aliens ship plotline was only a pretext to have Young together with Rush while the crew found the new bridge. In fact, I think they almost forgot to check for salvageable goods on the ship. SGU switched from the empty planet plots to the empty spaceship (where nothing special happens) . At least, we had some cool moment like the centrifugal jump.
One disappointment is the much talked about new Destiny mission. It's underwhelming and there's no excitement or forward momentum plot wise generated by it. Sure maybe aliens from another "universe" or dimension created the big bang and created our known universe. So what? It's a nice sci-fi concept, but how does it translate to a great adventure for the Destiny crew?
Sure maybe it will be great, but we don't get that sense of forward momentum plotwise. Personally the main goal of the Destiny crew and Young should still be getting back to earth. I guess maybe "knowing all the secrets of the universe" may help.
Also it's a bit strange they sent the poor Ginn in the body of Amanda Perry a paraplegic through the stones. It's supposed to be very difficult and a big deal (James couldn't do it), but for Ginn, it's no biggie. She will use that body to go brief earth's homeland security about the LA military secrets.
So yes, this episode got more adventure even if the whole ship plot was sidelined for a Young and Rush confrontation about him finding the bridge. Nothing we haven't seen before.
I hope they become good friend because it seems the lemon is already pressed in that storyline. There's no juice anymore. Another head butt, please. The really interesting and original part was Rush telling us about the Destiny true mission. Still I like the mystery and suspense in the way Rush tried first to hide the bridge by calling for Perry or getting Young to get away while talking to Perry.
Very good episode acting wise for Eli.
It was nice to see somebody frustrated when he sees his girlfriend kissing another man because there's someone else consciousness in it.
Personally, I would prefer to see what's going on with Telford and his interaction with the gate seed aliens (which seemed to be peaceful at first) than visiting then sidelining yet another empty ship or empty planet.
Still I give it a 7/10. It was central in moving the season 2 plotlines forward. Much better than the 4, I gave to episode like Sabotage or Pathogen. It's good TV, not great. Same kind of story and tired Rush vs Young confrontations we saw in Justice.
