Synopsis:

The Destiny is still without power and an attempt to alter their collision course with a star has failed. The situation is now critical. A plan is born to abandon ship using the last working shuttle, with the hope that one of three planets in close proximity will be habitable. Although this strategy initially raises the crew's spirits, it is short lived when Col. Young (LOUIS FERREIRA) announces there is only room for seventeen people and a lottery will determine who goes and who stays. Stunned by the implication of this news, everyone considers their fate. Some, including Dr. Nicholas Rush (ROBERT CARLYLE) and Col. Young, opt to stay on board. Others, determined to survive, vie for a seat on the departing shuttlecraft.In the short time that remains, alliances are forged and others damaged while Eli (DAVID BLUE) tries to create a message in a bottle with the aid of a Kino. But, unbeknownst to all, forces are at work that no one could have foreseen.

5 out of 5 stars Light>Darkness?   October 26, 2009

Have you ever written a story? Taken that creative writing class? Even an essay for an English class? If yes then you probably know that feeling you get when you don't know where to go from where you are now. That unsatisfactory feeling you get when you connect two events in your story and the connection is weak and flaky. That is what I have found so far with Stargate Universe.

That being said Stargate Universe has an amazing setting. The authors can do anything they want with what they have; a galaxy unknown, a ship full of unknown wonders, 80-something passengers of unknown qualities.. I am looking forward to where it goes.

This episode is about where the others were.. not bad, but not as good as you want from an episode of Stargate.

Looking forward to next weeks episode!




5 out of 5 stars Light - Awesome VFX   October 25, 2009

This is the second part of a two-part episode (the first being "Darkness"), but it can be watched as stand-alone without any understanding problems.

After Destiny lost all of her powers except life-support, flew through the outer atmosphere of a gas giant and heads now on a collision course towards the sun, the people aboard the Destiny prepare themselves for their nearing end. Fifteen people will get a chance for survival in the Destiny's shuttle, but who will decide who is going and how will the ones doomed to die on the ship react?

As in the previous episodes, we gain more insight into the characters which builds up their complexities. The most surprising for me was Master Sergeant Greer after what we learned about him in "Air". For awhile even Dr. Rush seems likable, the most difficult character to understand from my point of view.
The VFX in this episode is awesome. Watch it on a large screen. Subtle music with piano, violins and classic guitar creates beautiful moments.
