I thought the 'twist' was pretty good. Whilst it was kind of predictable that Shane shot Otis to get away, it was the way in which that scene played out that delivered a look into the growing darkness in Shane. Both could have gotten away, they had time to have a fight on the ground before the...

I think that were his actions to come to light, Rick would force Shane out of the group. It wouldn't be easy for him, but he always tries to do what's best for the group, whereas Shane seems to do what's best for himself. In the end, can they really trust Shane not to sacrifice any of them to...

I know that in the Paley Center interview, John Noble said that this season would be getting back to the heart of the show now that the Red/Blue war storyline is pretty much over. I don't think they're necessarily undoing the events of season 3 in that (slight S4 spoiler: highlight to read )...

The plan seems to be to start airing it in October, although whether it's a Hallowe'en premiere as with season 1 has yet to be revealed. When this show started airing in the UK, I managed to get my Dad into it. It's not his usual kind of show, but he really got into it and we made sure we...

Agreed, on both things there. I've discussed the wonderful nuances that John Noble managed to bring to the character in the last episode. Very subtle things with both Walter and Walternate that intensified responses to them. I don't want to give anything away by posting details here, but it was...

This was an interesting episode, referencing a few things from the past and also putting into canon the fact that a Time Lord can change gender when they regenerate. That certainly ends the argument of whether The Doctor could be played by a woman. I'm sure we'll all be able to go over all the...

Unfortunately that was not only the last episode of SGU, but of the Stargate franchise itself, at least for now. There's not much to say about this episode, although I loved it. I think knowing it was the end of an era made it that more emotional. I have no problem in admitting that I...

Park, who was blinded while refueling in the blue super giant, has still not regained her sight while Tamara struggles with the knowledge, gleaned from the archives on Novus, that she has ALS, an incurable degenerative disease. Rush and Eli discover that drones are positioned at every star...

Apart from a few scenes which relate to the over-all series arc, this was a good enough filler episode. Like Lenny, I did wonder how, if everyone who is injured ends up lying on a table in the sickbay, Amy, Avery and The Doctor are just free to wander about. The one thing that did strike me as...

The Drones are this seasons bad guys, but are they a bit too powerful? I see some similarities between them and the Replicators, both being machines with a singular purpose. The difference is that the Destiny crew don't have access to top scientists with vast resources, so what is going to...

I enjoyed this episode and I can't help but wonder if the characters would learn anything about themselves from watching the historical Kino footage. For a while I thought that alt-Eli was going to end up by himself, then there was a line about he and Brody being the only ones not pairing off...

This was an interesting episode which gave us an insight into what happened to the alternate Destiny crew in 'Twin Destinies'. It brought in elements which we've grown accustomed to in the Stargate series, with solar flare activity aiding time travel. Unfortunately, they ended the episode with...

When Destiny’s second attempt to recharge in a star is foiled by attacking drones, the crew realizes the drones must have found a way to track the stars the Destiny plans to draw power from. Eli suggests that they attempt to recharge in a blue super giant, a star so hot it won’t be suspect. But...

With this being Moffat led, we'll find out some of the answers along the way, some at the end of the series and some things are probably best not thought about lest your brain explode. No doubt there will be hints and the like during each of the episodes in this run, some more subtle than...

Destiny arrives at Novus to find the very modern planet abandoned and in the throes of seismic destruction. Realizing the wealth of knowledge and resources they may be able to retrieve, Yazou, one of the settlers, leads Scott, Eli, Wray and Greer to an underground archive of the civilization...

I wasn't disappointed by this episode; they promised the death of a major character and they delivered, although I'm still a bit confused about the whole thing. True to form, Moffat seems to be laying down clues which will only make sense once we've seen the entire series. He is also continuing...

While stopping to harvest lime for Destiny’s failing life support system, Scott, Eli, Wray and Greer discover a settlement of human inhabitants who became stranded while pioneering a new planet after the gate could no longer contact their home. They claim their civilization, Novus, was founded...

When I first heard this news via Nicola Bryant on Twitter, it had yet to be officially confirmed, but within minutes the tributes had started. It's very sad news and, as has been pointed out, for her death to come so soon after Nick Courtney's makes it a sad year for all Doctor Who fans. The...

Finally we have the moment where the remaining Alliance members are more or less accepted onto the Destiny crew. Of course, Varro was largely driven by the fact that he and Lt. Johansen have feelings for one another, but he's been trying to prove that he's trustworthy for a while now. It's also...

It was announced yesterday that due to MGM's recent financial problems, the mooted Stargate movies for SG-1 and Atlantis, as well as the hope for an SGU movie, will not go ahead. The statement is essentially a polite way of saying that the Stargate franchise is dead... at least for now. We can...
