So the depressive moments kept coming last night on Stargate Universe, but with depression comes drastic measures and with drastic measures comes suspense; all of which fell in succession last night as the crew of the Destiny had to endure a scenario so heinous that neither outcome would have been favorable in no one’s eyes.
Knocking On Death’s Door…
Sgt. Greer opens the night via Kino and talks about going out in a literal blaze of glory and he sees the beautiful irony in it. Why doesn’t anyone like this guy?
The crew assembles into the Stargate room and Col. Young let’s discloses to the group the bad news of the Destiny heading into a star and that they will all be dead in over a day. After the cries of shock die down, Young tells them that the shuttle is their best bet and they are trying to see if one of the three planets in orbit is habitable. Then he drops the bomb of bombs: the shuttle can only hold so many people and that they will have to do a lottery to see who goes and who dies. Crappy odds indeed, friends.
Young then throws more acid into the wound by saying that only fifteen people will be picked to go, plus the two he will personally pick. Of course, nobody wants to play this lottery and the group loudly voices their dissension. One person says that the shuttle can fit twice that number, but Scott says they will need room for supplies. Another person claims that Young is one of the two that will be picked to go along the fifteen, which Young debunks by taking himself out of the lottery and anyone else who wants to get smart at the mouth. How can you not like this guy as well?
But the fact remains that life sucks aboard the Destiny and different people deal with it in different ways. Like Scott and Chloe, who decides to have sex in the face of death, or what I like to call it, “frak it sex”, which Eli didn’t take too kindly to as he sees them off to do the deed. Meanwhile, Camile Wray confronts Col, Young about his “cowardly” decision to let a lottery decide the fates of the survivors instead of manning up and doing his job as a leader. She also feels that he should be included on the list since whoever leaves will need a leader, which Young counters with Wray wanting to be on the list as well and Wray doesn’t deny fully. When asked if she can come up with a more plausible way of sealing someone’s fate, Wray suggests that age, sex, and skills should factor into the equation. She eventually gets on Young’s nerves and he tells her to leave or he will pull her name out of the running for the lottery. Wray does a complete 180 and meekly backs down, begging for such a thing to not happen.
Eli awakes from a dream/flashback of being back home in his bed and his mom yelling at him about finding a job. He awakes and picks up the Kino and gets an idea.
Meanwhile after the hot, funky, musty sex Chloe and Scott just endured; the two discuss their chances of getting on the shuttle.
Scott is confident that he’s on the shuttle, because he’s the only person who can fly the thing since Col. Young took himself out the running. Chloe, on the other hand, doesn’t think that her status as “a senator’s daughter” will give her any leverage amongst everyone else. Chloe then goes into this speech that she has felt the closest to Scott than anyone else in her life. Bull. Crap.
Eli conducts a meeting to tell everyone that he will send the Kino out into space behind the shuttle so that it can be found ala a “message in a bottle.” Chloe and Scott arrive all ‘glowy’ and Eli turns snippy towards the two. But Eli feels that they should be able to leave at least something for someone to find of them instead of just giving up and dying without a cause. I see why they added in the previously irrelevant scene of him in his bed back home, because it correlates into this scene, in my opinion.
In the shuttle, Dr. Rush tells Col. Young that the furthest third planet might be the shuttle crew’s best shot of survival since it has a “Goldilocks Zone”: not too hot and not too cold. Dr. Rush then asks for Col. Young to take his name out of the lottery, because he feels that the Destiny was… well his destiny. After Col. Young concedes that Rush was right all along, Dr. Rush asks who are the two people that Col. Young is going to pick. When Young announces Scott and TJ as his choices, which are both logical in every sense, Rush suggests that Greer could also be in the shuttle if Young rigged the lottery. Young’s not interested, but Rush makes a valid point when he says if Young rigs the lottery or not, people are still going to think the former.
The Golden Tickets of Life, An Uncharted Territory…
The lottery is held, but the suspense is more nerve racking than any VH1 Celebriality show could ever muster. The noticeable ‘winners’ are Airman Becker (the cook), Camile Wray (mmm), Lt. Vanessa James (Scott’s FWB), Dr. Park (the bubbly female scientist), Mr. Brody (another scientist), and Sgt. Rielly (the Stargate dialer). Eli gives Rielly the Kino to shoot into space. After the last name is called, people cry in shock and fear, but Spencer (a soldier) decides to try to start a riot and Greer promptly knocks him on his ass and warns the same fate to anyone else who feels froggy.
But is it just me or was Scott a little too damn calm about the whole thing? I personally would be a wreck, but he took it in stride.
Anyway the shuttle departs and Chloe, Greer, Eli, Rush, and Col. Young all watch from the observation deck. They even get a peek of the Destiny, which warms Dr. Rush’s heart. Col. Young and Greer decide to go for one final walk together, while Dr. Rush decides to finish a novel. Before he leaves though, Rush tells Eli and Chloe what to expect when the ship tears apart and that it’s going to happen sooner than he told them. He leaves and Chloe lays her head tenderly on Eli’s shoulder. Hmmm… Are you going to give him some as well, Chloe, with a side of bull?
Waiting For The Night To Come…
Meanwhile, we finally find out what the hell Greer did to end up in the brig on the Icarus Base: he had knocked Col. Telford on his ass for getting in his face. I sooooo would have paid to have seen that in a flashback… Young and Greer have one final laugh over the incident and say their goodbyes before going their own ways.
Spencer awakes to find people dealing in their own ways. One group plays cards, while another one has one final church service. Eli and Chloe watch the fast approaching star on the observation deck. Dr. Rush reads his book, Young removes his wedding band and Greer sits in his room in his birthday suit waiting to leave the world the way he came in, I guess.
On the shuttle, Sgt. Rielly hints at it being his birthday since it is after midnight on his watch (some damn birthday present, huh?) and Dr. Brody confirms that while there will be little to no vegetation on the planet, it is doable in the living department.
Back on the Destiny, Dr. Rush finishes his book and looks at his watch. He gets up and goes to the power control console and lets out a laugh of relief. He runs to the observation deck and lets out another one with a shout for joy. When Eli and Chloe wonder if he’s gone mad, Dr. Rush reveals that they are going to live after all.
Huh?!
As the ship deploys some type of solar panels, the power restores itself all over the ship and everyone is freaking out. When Col. Young reaches the console deck, Eli reveals that they are actually in the middle of the star and Dr. Rush adds that the ship is powered by stars and that ship basically plotted it’s course not for the planets, but to replenish it’s power source. Col. Young demands that they get in contact with the shuttle before the ship enters FTL drive, but the communications system hasn’t been powered yet. After a small debate, Dr. Rush says that it’s about time for Young to trust him now. Hmmm…..
Col. Young finally gets in touch with the shuttle and orders them back, but of course there is a problem, because this is Stargate Universe and there is always a problem. This week’s dilemma is that the shuttle can’t match the course to meet the Destiny, because the Destiny is too fast. Dr. Rush comes up with the plan for Scott to fly the shuttle towards the planet and around it to get a gravity boost to give the shuttle a chance to match the Destiny. After some nifty maneuvering on Scott’s part, they eventually land the shuttle on the Destiny and all is well in the kingdom again. Until next week that is.
Did He or Didn’t He?
While everyone is cheerful and joyful in the mess room, Dr. Rush enters and declines the friendly invite to join the group. In an
attempt to be the better man about everything, Col. Young lists all of the things that Dr. Rush should be celebrating for, which included being right about the power communications, the comm link upload, and for taking his name out of the lottery. Dr. Rush says that Col. Young did the latter as well, which Young says was because he was injured, while Rush simply made a sacrifice.
When Rush stays mum, realization crosses Col. Young’s face before he says: “Unless you knew the Destiny was going to make it all along.”
WHAT?!?!?!
Dr. Rush leaves the mess room, avoiding answering the question and Greer says to Young to just let it go, but Young is onto something.
Did Rush know or didn’t Rush know about the Destiny’s planned trajectory? My money is on the former.
Observations
- So Dr. Rush went from being redeemable to lower on my ‘ish list all in one hour. It seems plausible that he knew, because he was too frakking calm the entire time. Almost overconfident if you will… Was it retribution for all of the crap the other survivors were giving him? If that’s the case then, a simple ‘f’ you’ would have sufficed, Rush.
- Greer and Young remain my two favorites so far. Loved their scenes in this episode as it showed how loyal Greer can be to those he cares about, plus we saw that he is more than a grunt. A little childish, at times, but serious when needs be.
- Camile. Is she going to be the bitchy vixen on the ship? Scheming her way into power? I hope so. I love a good catfight and would love to see her and Chloe or TJ go at it. Not in that way, dudes… ;)
- Speaking of Chloe, flip-flopping doesn’t even describe her constant bouncing between Eli and Scott. But I am not going to go there, because I kind of refuse to believe what the nagging voice in my head is screaming at me about her.
Kino Vison!
I am going to try something new this week, which is to feature Kino Vision, a short description of the Kino Diaries that are in the episode, because they reveal character points. If the show continues to use the Kino as a diary for the characters, then this section will be included into my weekly recaps. So without further adieu, let’s list this week’s Kino Vision.
- Greer talks about how ‘appropriate’ it is to go out in a blaze of glory by flying into a star. He thinks it is a beautiful. I smell a poet.
- Chloe talks about how her father died for them to live another day, which is sadly ironic in two ways: he literally died for them to live another day and he could have died for nothing if they were going to die anyway.
- Camile gives her name but refuses to give her age. She also states that her last thoughts were about Sharon, her lover. Hmmm..,
- Col. Young leaves a message for Emily insinuating his love for her.
So what did you guys think? I felt it was a pretty good episode, but hope that we move from the ship constantly putting them in danger and to actually explore the universe. Like that alien pod that was attached to the Destiny in Air Pt. 3.
See you next Friday. Same Gate Time. Same Gate Channel.
“The Goldilocks Zone” is the perfect description for SGU. However, the written version you presented seems to a lot better than what I watched on TV.
As you stated, Dr. Rush made the comment “The Goldilocks Zone” in the show describing the potential that one of the planets could sustain human life. The zone is not too hot and not too cold; therefore the planet could most likely sustain human life for the supposed lucky 17 survivors.
“The Goldilocks Zone” also describes the Stargate series [Stargate Universe (SGU)]. It is not too brilliant and not too dumb; therefore, the show could most likely be sustainable, be profitable, or not be cancelled for some time.
Unfortunately, I think I have to change my opinion. I have to painfully agree with a lot of the early negative comments that I disagreed with. For long term Stargate fans (such as myself), the show has been clearly dumbed down. I assume the show has been dumbed down to get a larger audience.
Two hours of SGU is about equal to one hour of any of the old Stargate series (Stargate SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis). The show does have some interesting points (mostly at the end), but watching one hour of the show is extremely painful, slow, boring, and unsatisfying.
While watching SGU, I find my self doing other things. Two hours of the show leaves me satisfied. For example, was it really a surprise the ship used the sun, the gas giant, or both in combination as a fuel source? It was more than obvious in the last Friday’s (November 16) show. Yes, the screen shots of the sun where amazing and the mechanical process was good. But the old Stargate series (especially Stargate Atlantis) could have easily combined Darkness and Light into one show lasting about an hour.
It looks like the beginning of the show is designed to appeal to the new targeted Stargate demographic. Scott appears to be the new Captain Kirk from Star Trek (or the new Sheppard from Stargate Atlantis). Scott appears to be on schedule to have sex with a different girl at the beginning of different shows and the rest of the guys on the ship will get sloppy seconds.
It looks like the middle of SGU is filler.
It looks like the end of the show is designed to appeal to old Stargate fans, or anyone who has an IQ slightly above or slightly below a normal IQ, or anyone who has an IQ slightly above room temperature.
Funny, I guess in a strange way “old Stargate fans” are getting sloppy seconds. On an off topic, I never did like the show Sanctuary. So it looks like Friday on the SyFy Channel is a waste of time for me.
In sum, “The Goldilocks Zone” is the perfect description for SGU. SGU is not too hot and not too cold (aka: not too brilliant and not too dumb). I guess I won’t outright stop watching the show, but I will most likely watch the show every other week in two hour segments. I hope the remake of “V” on ABC starting on Tuesday, November 3rd is much better and has not been dumbed down.

Awful, but perfect! Ha!
(I just started watching "Sanctuary" this fall, also because of the time slot. It's hard to get into, but I'll stick with it a little longer.)

Please kill off the directors and upper management of this show or it will never get past serier 10 and only to that stage due to funding from previous versions.
It is about as exciting as chewing used synthetic socks.
I have the entire SG collection and am sadly disappointed with this sad attempt at SciFi
QUESTION DU JOUR
2 organic uncompressed gasses (oxygen and hydrogen) for water, much denser than air.
Gas compressed within a sun and burning for billions of years would have the density of liquid metal.
Why fly into a sun to recharge the ship when it is the equivalent of flying into solid matter?
Please get new management or this show wont last out the year

"Why fly into a sun to recharge the ship when it is the equivalent of flying into solid matter?"
My respons:
I am not sure about that!?
My first theory:
There was a female scientist that rapidly talked into a Kino (in the episode Darkness) and I got the impression that the solar system was a dwarf system (something about some of the planets locked and only facing toward the sun).
I was under the impression that the star that Destiny traveled into might have been a red dwarf. I thought a red dwarf was a low mass star and much lower in temperature than a normal star. Some stars have metal at the core and become dense like you said, but others do not have metals and those are usually dwarf stars. (Yep, I took a lot of astronomy classes to fill various electives over the years.)
The sun is a large fusion reactor. It is the perfect and most logical place to obtain a fuel source that has allowed Destiny and other ships like Destiny to fly around the space for a couple thousand years.
My second theory I will keep to myself for right now.

I'm trying. I really am. But my resolve to tough this out is weakening.
The Chloe/Scott thing was disappointing. But at least Eli didn't come simpering back when she snuggled up to him after Scott took off. Romances based on extreme situations never work. Haven't they seen "Speed"?
I liked Wray, especially the way she broke down once she was in the shuttle. The relief and grief were well done.
Holy crap, Rush got a human personality! I liked it! Also, when Rush was condescending to Eli about the very complicated equations. "MATH BOY!" And Rush takes Eli at his word. Good.
Did nobody else wonder what happened to Spencer? For a while, I thought we would find out that he hanged himself in his quarters. But it seems that he is now running around the ship with vengeance on his mind.
I don't even bother with the science. But I can't see Rush knowing for sure that the ship would recharge itself. A possibility perhaps, but I think the final scene was more WTF? I'd rather have Rush messing with Young's head.
Is Sgt. Spencer the military guy with a shaved head who has been popping pills since day one and then eventually was knocked unconscious for protesting the lottery?
I think he will be fine. I seriously doubt that he committed suicide. Sgt. Spencer problem will start when those pills run out and the staff is too slow to figure out where the medical bay is and how to operate the equipment in the medical bay.
The only people dying (or left behind for some uncertain future) are the people who disobey Destiny rules or suggestions such as dialing and traveling through a Stargate that has been locked out.

Featherlite, please stay! I love to hear everyone's comments about the show. I love sci-fi, but I like it for story and not entirely the science. I don't think that makes me dumb though, and Preppy I know that wasn't directed towards me, just saying, man. I watched all of Voyager, BSG, and early Trek. Currently am watching Dollhouse and plan on watching Caprica when it comes out. The point I am trying to make is that I don't let the science sum up a show for me unless it involves the characters of the show. BSG didn't rely on the science, it relied on the character drama. Voyager relied on both characters and science and were in situations where I couldn't help but roll my eyes a couple of times because the method was either a complete cop out or not risky enough. I have to say that I felt that way while watching a lot of SG-1 or Atlantis episodes as well. Dollhouse uses the science for it's show as a way to explore the human ethics problem through it's characters and mythology, something that has worked despite what the ratings say.
I think SGU is here to stay. People complained about SG-1 when it was made and there was a lot of commotion when Atlantis premiered. I say that it just comes with the territory with sci-fi franchises.
I meant that the science doesn't affect me one way or the other,because I most likely wouldn't know bad science if I heard it. I never would have known the star density science was off if it weren't for Lynton's post. If I'm watching a show where people travel through wormholes and land in a hunk of metal that's been floating around in space for hundreds of thousands of years, my willing suspension of disbelief has already been activated. Just don't mess with something an Arts student like me knows is wrong. (Like the freaky Canadian weather that Hollywood uses.) I'll forgive a lot but these characters are getting to me.

This series hasn't done it for me so far, I hope this changes. I'd love for this series to visit another group like the "Ashin". I guess that would bring you back to earth though. Don't forget to get vaccinated. ihaveswineflu2@gmail.com

Stargate Universe is a big disappointment. I' ve been watching stargate since it first started and enjoyed the comedy, horror and conflicts with other species, fantastic good and evil aliens from other planet, intergalactic struggle, the special effects etc… I enjoyed the action of exploring planets and advance technology. What happened with Stargate Universe? Have you run out of ideas, or story line or light hearted jokes or interesting alien life forms. I see Stargage Universe as a soap opera, full of despair, yelling, psychotic attitudes with no brilliant story line. I feel as though I am watching Another World daytime soap. The true sci fi people like me will not continue watching this crap on tv. Get the same crew that created Stargate Atlantis. Those were amazing stories and amazing characters and amazing aliens and amazing technology. I am now switching to the new V series which I hope will be much better than this crappy episode. Sorry to be so direct, but I am very disappointed with the last few episodes.
The same crew (creators, writers, and even directors) that were involved with Stargate Atlantis also are on task for SGU. Just letting you know, but your opinion is valid here.
