Well I watched the last installment of SGU last Friday night. I was impressed. Not so much with the aesthetics ( don’t get me wrong the f/x are beautiful and those folk should be commended for their work) but with the emotions involved in certain things happening to many of the people that I’m connecting to.
I’ll try not to give anything away in my post here but I’m not sure if browncaots are interested in this Sy/Fy original. I can tell ya that it’s one of the few tv series on that channel that I have kept up with so far.
Anyway, I still dislike this Rush guy. Somehow it didn’t bother me so much when he got his “Burn Notice”. Just the same I think a lot of shows have characters that make people hiss and moan about. Anyway, neat ending of the episode. Kept me interested.
Z, out
Certainly the best episode so far. It was, dare I say it, actually pretty good. :) The ending was a mite predictable (if, for nothing else, you simply *know* they're not gonna lose the ship, as that would end the show). All-in-all, it had a modicum of depth, and it all made for an enjoyable watch. As a STG:ATL follower, I'm not sure I'm ready to take another 5 years of discovering all cute gadgets of an alien ship, in this case; but for now, gotta say, it's the best thing out there. Perhaps that's a commentary on everything else. Or perhaps it's simple good. No final verdict yet. History will attend to itself.

"Earth" is the title of the seventh episode in Stargate Universe.
Spoiler warning:
IOA scientists have hatched a plan that could return the crew to Earth.
But the plan is far from foolproof and carries potentially deadly consequences.

Is it my imagination, or did the last two episodes really suck?
Sometimes you travel back in time when a wormhole opens near a solar-flare.... Riiiiight. C'mon, guys! That was so crap! And last installment, nothing happened; and then it was over. Yawn.

I think its ok, its steady and entertaining but nothing to do a big song and dance about...yet
So far its steady
The SGU series is better than a lot of the Star Trek's, its better than New-Battlestar Galactica because averaged out Battlestar's episodes did not really work. BS G had a great first season but overall most people do not approve of the show, the political angle burnt some viewers and the BS G characters became irritating and annoying not thought provoking. I also think SGU is better than Stargate Atlantis, SG Atlantis suffered from poor writing choices and poor cast decisions like suddenly killing Weir off
bye bye Weir
I also enjoy the SGU ragtag motley bunch they have wrote, the writers and the cast and their acting skills have really done a good job at filling out the characters

This Rush guy is very annoying to watch. He has no commendable quality about him. The viewers have nothing to hold on to and root for him. Although the last two episodes we just learned that he likes old films and he doesn't believe in the afterlife blah and that's about it. Still nothing really like a 'WOW' moment for him.
I do like the aesthetics; its definitely dark like the new BSG and it doesn't have that in-your-face alien-y bad guys (yet).

I'm still liking it. I'm glad they're giving us some backstory on everyone, because I've been trying to pick apart the characters. "Why did s/he react like that, what was behing that look/comment". Ship time can't have been much more than three weeks if that, so they're still adjusting to the new environment.
And yes, people trapped with strangers for an indefinite period of time, afraid and in some cases terrified that they're going to die and/or never make it back home can tend to get a little petty and snippy. Or psychotic. Especially since most of them hadn't planned on going anywhere the day they arrived on the ship except for the military. High stress, low supplies, near basic survival conditions without preparation or training.. you're asking for a train wreck unless you've got at least a few people who are very good at leadership. Plus, no coffee.
I liked the last episode showing that people are starting to build community and try coping with the stress together. (The exercise group so far but people will find common interests or try new things out of a desire to connect. Eli started yoga.) Humans crave connection and belonging to the social group. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up forming a band if they can find something to make instruments out of, and where there's music there's dance or concerts. Which is a good way to blow off steam and lift your spirits.
Or they'll all just start having sex with one another until everyone's pregnant and they're in deeper doo doo. You never know where a writer's going until they get there.
I'm wondering who's going to end up in the chair. Will it be the guy who just ran out of his meds and is going berserk, or someone who's already volunteered. They have introduced the chair and there's no way they're not going to end up using it. The ban will be lifted just as soon as the situation gets dire enough.

I'm not saying I didn't like the series. It's just that Rush is very distant, we don't know which side he's on. We've seen him lie more than a couple of times before and his intense desire for self preservation as demonstrated this week that he doesn't want to sit in the chair. As viewers we need something to like or dislike a character and Rush, I feel, doesn't make me like or dislike him in any way.
I think it will be Greer who will sit in the chair. The guy who ran out of his rage meds will just off himself.
I wish Eli would have someone to have a dynamic with. It's just sad that the comic relief of the show ends up like a bad joke as I think David Blue has a natural comedic timing with him.

This is hands down the laugh I needed before bed tonight…
According to the Syfy Wire, there is a a war going on between Stargate Universe's producer, Brad Wright, and the Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan over a review for ABC's 'V'.
Where does all this fit in with each other?
Well Ms. Ryan's review of 'V' included a swipe at Stargate Universe, which prompted Mr. Wright to comment on the article in the comments section. Mr. Wright's comment ruffled the feathers of Ms. Ryan enough for her to rebuttal with yet another article, this time focusing entirely on Mr. Wright's comments.
A lot of the comments on the second article include rants and raves for Maureen standing by her beliefs and calls for an apology from Brad Wright. Here is a link to the second article.
Post your thoughts because I am dying to hear them!
