When did SGU become 'good' to you?

[nx01a]

My attitude towards SGU at the end of the season was the complete opposite of what it was at the beginning of the season: I'm sticking with the show because I like it, not because I'm just giving it a chance. For those of you who've had turn arounds like mine, what moment or episode made you realize that you actually liked the show and weren't just watching it because it was Stargate or giving it until the 1/2 season or 1st season finale to improve?
For me, the turning point was Divided. Even Justice and Space just made me want to continue giving the show a chance, but Divided was just, to me, exceptional and what SGU should have been from the start. Not to mention the show finally used contemporary music well in that brilliant opening sequence. Chloe's change of heart and ruptured relationship may have been oddly reversed very quickly, but from Divided onward, I actually enjoyed the show.

What about you?

For me, I think it was earlier on than that. Light, Part II and Water. After Light Part II I was really digging on the show and had an idea that it might go very well. Then after Water with the 'dust creature', I was hooked. Hands down.

I've loved SGU from moment one, in fact, from before moment one, when I found out that Louis Ferreira had a leading role, I was on

when the blue aliens finally showed up.

Roughly ten seconds into "Air, Part 1."

after the premiere i liked the show but i fell in love with it in air part 3

Roughly, Time did it for me. Though Air, Dark/Light and Water are strong, Time is really good

[jelgate]

Air Part II. When I saw the emotion from various characters about the death of Sen. Armstrong I knew this show was going to be good

[TitanShadow]

Time was great, had I not already been into the show, Time would have sealed it for me. That episode reminded me of some of my favorite Star Trek TNG episodes.

The moment Scott got launch out of the gate.

Hard for me to decide really, Time was definitely a factor. But its the last three episodes, especially "Subversion" that made me really connected to SGU. Episodes like "Life" and "Pain" almost made me give up on the show....

It was about the time I saw the first teaser trailer.

What parts of Life and Pain did you not like? I'll fully admit I didn't really care for either but, I wonder if we have the same reasons. I think that both are important in some way though, the fears expressed in pain allow for us, as an audience, come into direct visual contact with the fears of the crew, to know what is motivating them (in part) to do what they do... Or, rather, to fear situations in the future. I personally thought that Pain wasn't take anywhere near far enough. I think it was a good idea that was far too tame, the people got isolated quickly and really, that was the end of it.

In Life, I think was about hope... The continued hope of the crew, where as Pain was about what motivated the darkness of people... Life was about what motivated them to keep the darkness at bay. Hope, family, etc... Once again, important in some way but kind of boring.

Roughly ten seconds into "Air, Part 1."

Pretty much the same here. Although it didn't 10 seconds for me. About 2 or 3 were good enough. The music was just so... that kind of stuff I like.

What I didn't like about "Life" was its concentration on the characters on Earth. Its nice to see the characters backstories but I honestly don't care for concentration on character development. "Pain" had a good idea but again it came off as just character development and the disappointment that the blue aliens are not coming through the gate for real. Darn teaser made it seem otherwise.
