Stargate Universe (Season 1)

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Yeah, but they'd already got rush from the planet and had been probing him since they got him

Ah, I understand what you're saying now. That may have been the case.

Not a bad episode I guess, I wasn't expecting an alien presence this early. They also appear to have ftl without a hyperspace window; granted it's different, but it's the same principle. Given they don't use hyperspace and they aren't using a fabric of warped space like destiny, that has to lend itself to time dilation.

Technology aside; oh hai! we've met before... or close enough anyways. Maybe one of those pods did make it ;)

Ah, the Sekkari. I remember them from that episode. I don't think they're the same aliens we saw in SGU because according to that SGA episode, they've been extinct for a very long time.

I dunno Anaron; if one of them made it, that's a long time to evolve back into a useful silicone based life form. Remember the seed carriers were meant to promote the development of silicon based life forms, this doesn't mean they would be the Sekkari to the tee after so many years.

I like the speculation anyways :p

i liked the episode but the ending felt too rushed (no pun intended =P)

wtf was with that last little ship going to hyperspace by itself? lame attempt at tricking us that it was rush's ship, and then they make rush board destiny in one of those ships and nobody noticed it

[TDT]

Wow, are there people still watching this? I give it 2 seasons before it's canceled. They managed to turn a great franchise into a soap-opera crap. The young and the restless on a space ship. Pathetic.

For me, SG-1 was absolutely amazing, I watched all 10 seasons 2 times so far. I like Atlantis too, although it took me a while to get used to the new characters. Speaking of, THAT was the way to go with a new SG show - introduce the new characters via the old, familiar ones, in SG-1. Make the transition easier. In this Universe crap, we got 20 teenagers on a ship from the start.

Whatever...

I think it's generally obvious that wasn't Rush's ship, the size difference alone would have shown that. It's a trick that's been used often enough in TV that you had to see it coming and people noticed his ship docking with the Destiny. That's why the Lt and the sargent were waiting at the tunnel when they cut in and Chloe fell through.

clearly as we are discussing it and its got another season, its all down to opinion some of the hardened SG1/SGA fans hate some some dont

Great Ep. Rush Rules. That is all.

ya, I am an SG-1 and Atlantis lover, and I absolutely love the direction they are heading with Universe. I could not see them making another show following the same format the previous 2 did (after all that's why Atlantis got canned so young)

I disagree. Atlantis was canceled for no good reason, people were watching and the ratings were fine.

As for the direction of Universe...what's that? A show with crybabies, with many inconsistencies and question marks and with absolutely no connection to the Stargate world except for the stargate itself and the ancients. The cast is all wrong, I didn't like ANY of those new faces, the transition from Atlantis to Universe was none, the atmosphere is exactly like Galactica...come on. They tried to merge Star Trek Voyager with Battlestar Galactica and they failed completely. Of course, there are people that like it and that's normal, but in my opinion (and others) this is a waste of time and a disgrace to the Stargate franchise.

I am waiting for the Atlantis movie and the new SG-1 movie. At least I'll see some familiar Stargate faces one more time. :)

a good intense episode but I was left feeling with the thought that Young needs to gtfo :rofl:

I really liked the ep because Young finally dropped the hammer and really drove the point home that he's not putting up with their crybaby crap anymore.

Team Young ftw. It's no time to play model UN. Plus Rush is all about playing with his fancy Ancient toys and Wray's probably got some IOA agenda.

At least the post-season break seems to have breathed a little life into the series. It was fast becoming stagnant between Eps 3-8 at least. What did happen was just enough to tide me over until now. They better have changed it for Season 2.

I think Universe is a good direction for the series. Atlantis was off to a good start but the formula rather soon died off. I think it would have risked killing the entire series if they decided to continue with the "Hollywood" style action formula.

I think you have gotten the entire Universe thing wrong. They are not crybabies. They are for the most part normal people who got in the situation they now are in. We are seeing them develop their ranks and coping with the situation. I like this because we don't know where it is heading. And them reviling the aliens so late was good. I hate it when we know these things too fast. Sure it worked for SG1 and Atlantisk, but as I wrote earlier, it might have stopped the series permanently.

I loved SG1 and really liked Atlantis until season 3. They messed up from there. Universe have a fresh start with a lot more possibilities and opportunities.

edit: Also have to add that the OST for Universe is amazing!! I almost get chills for every episode. The pop songs is mostly hit and miss though.

[Rob2687]

I hated the characters on Atlantis. They basically tried to reboot SG-1 and failed hard.

Traitors!! You should be shot with the rest of them!

COL Young FTW!!!

I don't know why the military is in command honestly. There has been no enemy to protect the people from up until now and honestly, the military needs the civilians alot more than the civilians need them. At least with Atlantis and Sg-1, you could see the benefit of each side helping each other. In this case, the way they've set it up so far, what's to stop a civilian saying no I won't fix the air scrubbers, I won't grow us new food, we'll all die if you don't accept civilian control..shooting your gun isn't going to make you get more air.
