I see you took my idea and combined 1 and 2 into one!!
I think THIS review deserves special merit.. Such as the praise for the Young/Oneill scenes.. Or the commentary on Eli/Choloe being off on their own, once again giving us a window into how vast the ship is..
There were so many great characters in this show, but i have always felt TJ was on of the few, consistently great ones..
This is why i feel that THIS episode was a lot more dramatic than the Siege part 2.. how it ended was pure nail biting..
And that the show ended on the lights flikkering out ON his despondent looking face, was a far cry from any of the other cliff hanger endings Stargate had... PURE poetry!

Alaina Huffman’s quiet performance as T.J. deserves serious credit for anchoring the show.
In typical Stargate fashion, the first season ends with multiple cliffhangers that place quite a few characters in jeopardy. Let’s do a quick rundown of the different plot threads left hanging:
It’s fitting that “Incursion” concludes with a shot of Young’s hopeless face. He looks up to the sky and prepares to meet his fate. All of the questions about Young’s decisions that I addressed earlier are surely going through his head at this awful moment. The close-up view of utter defeat is a feeling that we haven’t seen from Young. He’s had doubts but has never been so despondent about what’s coming. SGU frequently reminds us that even the best intentions can lead to failure. Young is human and could have acted differently, but it’s easy to say that in hindsight. He can only hope that a last-minute save is on the horizon. Knowing how things work in genre TV, the audience realizes there’s always a chance. That glimmer of hope is missing from Young’s face, though. He’s ready to meet his maker in a matter of seconds.
