Serebii Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I enjoyed that ep. Disliked that the civillians backed down so easily at the end. Was hoping they'd at least be defiant. It isn't like the military would kill them all or anything. Capitulation just ends badly. Did like the fact they brought in a one episode guest Doctor from Season 8 of SG1. Same name, same actress. Helps cement the connection between the shows
Mokong Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I'm prolly the only one here on Youngs side, haha, the place needs leadership and the best place for it is with the military. (Even Roslin in BSG eventually came to realise that) Ok fair enough Young left Rush behind, but he did that for the benifit of everyone else, I think we all can agree if Rush had the chance to leave eveyone behind and get Destiny to himself he would in a heartbeat. I don't get why Young dosen't just tell everyone that Rush tried to frame him for when the other guy shot himself
Daft Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I maintain that Rush is the pragmatist and only since Young snapped and left Rush on the planet has he come round to Rush's way of thinking, granted from a different perspective. Either way, Rush knows so much more about Destiny that Young doesn't really have a chance without him.

Either way, Rush knows so much more about Destiny that Young doesn't really have a chance without him. But he's got gunssss!! and guts! Atm I am loving the internal approach they have about the show. Focussing on the ship and the tech, which was the main reason why I LOVEEDD Atlantis. I am dreading the day they go back to exploring planets.. its going to be like a monster a day ala smallville, disease an episode ala house... Though I did love the time travelling episode on the planet... I do love my temporal anomalies / sun flares!
Serebii Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 I'm just glad there's been no Earth based eps since its back :p
Daft Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Just watched the latest episode. I totally get Rush's frustration and sadness about not finding out the answers to the planet. It wasn't an exhilarating episode but I thought it was pretty good. I wish they'd hurry up and open more of the ship up. That thing with the robot was pretty interesting.
Mokong Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 ep 13 I wonder if that ep might end up as forgetable filler or will we see reference to it again later. Like if they might run into the aliens that made it? DId some civilians end up staying on the planet in the end? I couldn't quite tell I think some did? Maybe it was the same aliens as before and when they appear again we'll find the civis that stayed behind in some stasis tanks like Rush was. Or maybe the Anicients went and put it there, it did seem a little "too" perfect don't ya think. Maybe some felt a bit sorry for the peeps on Destiny and maybe unable to just bring them home provided them with a new one? Or maybe JUST MAYBE... could it have been the FURLINGS... ZOMG!!!!!
Daft Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I think this show really suffers from a lack of original soundtrack. Some of the songs they play are awful. ...I miss BSG...

I think some civilians stayed on the planet. Can't see their logic though: "Hmm... we are 8 people or so. Let's stay on the planet and live the rest of our lives together in this ultra-small society that will certainly not make us all go mad or something."
Serebii Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Just got to the recent ep. Shame you guys seem to be getting apathetic. I thought it was a good episode Good to see Daniel again, even though it was a "Carter in the Puddle Jumper" appearence. I found the episode really good. Felt the Stargate roots, had mystery and was all in all a good episode. Interested to see what will happen with the Eli, Chloe, Scott & Greer trapped on a planet scenario
Daft Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Yeah, I thought it was a really good episode. Apart from the Hitchhikers line. I also thought Chloe's geek line was funny. I don't think she still deserves the hate.
Happenstance Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Im going back to watching them on Sky now, shame we're just over a week behind now but I can live with it
Serebii Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 Im going back to watching them on Sky now, shame we're just over a week behind now but I can live with it That'll change. The US is going to have a week off around Memorial Day weekend so
Serebii Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 And Play & HMV have confirmed after months of us concerned it'll only come on DVD, that it's coming on Blu Ray
somme Posted May 2, 2010 Author Posted May 2, 2010 Newest epispde was good. Sooo...they're trapped again. Good stuff. I'm liking the cliffhangers.
Daft Posted May 2, 2010 Posted May 2, 2010 Shame you just know they're going to get back. Would have been nice if they'd used this as a chance to introduce a new group of characters.
Serebii Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I wasn't expecting them to miss it again, I was expecting a dial in last second
Konfucius Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Good episode but I couldn't really follow the logic how it's beneficial that the weakest part of the FTL drive got blown up. Of course efficiency is increased but total power decreases. I also start to get annoyed how they quickly resolve cliffhangers from previous episodes. I mean you could make a lot more out of the story how Eli and the others struggle to get back to Destiny.
Mokong Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 WTF? Ok ep was decent but WTF was up with how Eli and co got back, jesus that was easy. The way the ep was panning out like they weren't even going to be seen in it, I was expecting a future ep with some great adventure for how they get back to Destiny, then they just come waltzing through the stargate, WTF.
Happenstance Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Anyone see that the remaining episodes have all aired in Ukraine? Ive read the information on them (being the spoiler obsessed idiot that I am) and they look pretty good.
Serebii Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Ukraine? How random lol I enjoyed that episode despite the obvious points you guys pointed out The second half of this season has been so much better than the first half. Not to say the first half was bad, but it had Episode 9 (Life) in which took the average down considerably despite its strong episodes like Air and Time. I'm really getting to enjoy SGU now. Now they just need to add more of the classic Stargate humour and it'll be brilliant. There were some bits in Episode 15 which we getting there I've pre-ordered it on Blu Ray here now they've finally announced its release
Happenstance Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Isnt the full season boxset not getting released in the US until about November while we get it around June/July? Gotta love that :p I think im gonna enjoy SGU a lot more when I can watch it back to back on dvd, the slower episodes will be fine with their character development then. Wanted to ask as well, whats everyones opinions on Greer these days? Personally I still cant stand him and he might be one of my most hated characters in all Stargate history!
Strider Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Wanted to ask as well, whats everyones opinions on Greer these days? Personally I still cant stand him and he might be one of my most hated characters in all Stargate history! In the first half of the season I'll admit I didn't like him very much. However since the Jungle planet episode (Time?) he's beginning to grow on me, although I can't put my finger on what's changed. I'd say the character that I can't stand the most would be Colonel Young.
