Heya Stargate Universe Fans! <\/span><\/span>
\n\"Click<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Cllick<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well first of all let me just say that this isn\u2019t going to be a full length review of a blow by blow of what happened in the show,, I feel the others have accomplished that wonderfully, but instead this is my \"Click<\/a>thoughts on the episode itself and some things I found both funny and shocking (but in a good way). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you are in the United Kingdom or Australia or another location where Stargate Universe “Space” has not yet aired, you should stop reading now as this report is a detailed recap review. Thank you<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well with watching the first bit of the show,, I knew there was going to be tension among people as to what really happened with Young and Rush, but for Young to put everything on poor Eli, I was waiting for him to blow up.\u00a0 And he did in a way with his little dig at Young that he shouldn\u2019t have gotten rid of Rush.\u00a0 That was a great moment, for me anyway, not sure if anyone feels the same.\u00a0 And again, keep in mind that these are my thoughts of the show and the first time I have written up anything based on any show before so keep that in mind too when you read this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I have to confess, I did not get to sit and watch the show on Friday (April 02, 2010), I didn\u2019t really sit and watch it until the Saturday night (April 03), mainly because of family things going on.\u00a0 But after watching it that night and then heading to bed,, I started realizing some comparisons of certain things from the episode to a kids movie I have seen lately.\u00a0 And I think that when I mention \u201cLilo and Stitch\u201d you will all see what I\u2019m talking about.\u00a0 If not,, here, let me clarify it for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

The facial features of the alien looked a lot like the alien in the \u201cLilo.\u201d\u00a0 then there\u2019s the alien ship,, it reminds me of\u00a0 the alien ship on movie too,, coincidence or fluke, not sure, but I had a great chuckle with it.\u00a0 I just wish I was able to find the pictures to have them side by side to show you what I\u2019m talking about,, but I couldn\u2019t find any.\u00a0 When I realized how similar they both were, I starting laughing to myself.\u00a0\u00a0 LOL!!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Camile Wray (MingNa<\/a>).\u00a0 I like how she\u2019s asking the questions in a way that is not making her out to be ruthless.\u00a0 She questioned Young on the Rush situation, of which he still sticks to his story of how he got left behind.\u00a0 Never mind the fact that he was having flashbacks of what he had done to Rush and seemed to regret his actions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

I loved that there was more interaction with the characters, like with Julia Benson<\/a> as Lt. James and Alaina Huffman<\/a> as TJ.\u00a0 And especially the awkward moment when Benson was talking about a new guy they had working with them, and she not realize that he was able to hear her.\u00a0 I thought that was cute! The crew are starting to relax more, which is what they needed in a way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a>
\n<\/span>Though I did find it weird how the stones didn\u2019t connect Young with someone back on Earth, but an alien race out there in their regions of space.\u00a0 I guess it was bound to happen eventually. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

And I can see why they wanted to wait till mid-season though, they couldn\u2019t have Rush gone for too long, and I found it interesting how they brought him back.\u00a0 Kidnapped by the same race who took Chloe (Elyse Levesque<\/a>).\u00a0 Whoops, sorry getting ahead of myself.\u00a0 I tend to do that a lot.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of Chloe, she is given a bowl of baby tomatoes and just her excitement alone was enough to have me think that they are not going to taste right, and sure enough, I was right! But I felt bad for Eli though.\u00a0 Being pushed by Young beyond his tolerance, he started snapping at Chloe.\u00a0 They all thought the same thing about Young, but didn\u2019t dared to say anything to him.\u00a0 That\u2019s when they started to hear another table of castaways talking about the whole situation.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not on Young\u2019s good side,, would he find a way to get rid of you too?? That seemed to be the question lurking everyone\u2019s head.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there is a small group headed by Camile Wray discussing things that\u2019s been happening since they got stranded and unknown to them all, they were being watched.\u00a0 This I bet is to be their downfall later.\u00a0 However when asked on what they should do about the situation, her only answer was \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Coming out of FTL, they were scanning a planet that they could potently get some edible plants or berries, at least it wasn\u2019t something that was \u201cgrown\u201d on the ship and taste like it\u2019s supposed to, when Benson\u2019s search led her to Young and Scott, in which case they were told that they have com across something they haven\u2019t seen before.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Stargate<\/a><\/p>\n

An alien ship.\u00a0 Just after Young had his encounter with their race from the stones, coincidence? I think not. And not long after they send out their \u201chello\u201d they get a reply back – \u201csurrender.\u201d\u00a0 But who\u2019s surrender, the aliens or theirs,,, didn\u2019t take long to figure out who\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Stargate<\/a><\/p>\n

With Lt. Scott (Brian J. Smith<\/a>) and Sgt. Greer (Jamil Walker Smith<\/a>) <\/span><\/span>in the shuttle to fire at the little ones, they managed to stop some of the little ones from getting at the Destiny.\u00a0 But like most battles when you have one ship against many, things are never going to go as planned.\u00a0 Especially seeing as Rush wasn\u2019t there to help.\u00a0 And even Eli was wishing he was there so all the pressure wasn\u2019t all on him.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Destiny was taking a lot of fire.\u00a0 People were starting to panic a bit, that\u2019s when Benson asked everyone to get away from the observation area and to go elsewhere.\u00a0 But with power surges being reported all over the ship, some casualties are bound to happen.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SGU<\/a><\/p>\n

I think my best Eli (David Blue<\/a>) moment was when he was demanded by Young to fix the ship and Eli spoke up and said \u201cWell you should have thought of that before you got rid of Rush.\u201d\u00a0 The look on Eli\u2019s face said it all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SGU<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With no thought to the dangers to her own life, Benson went to one of the power rooms to try and cut the power so TJ could get to the injured.\u00a0 After succeeding, she then helped where needed as the battle proceeded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SGU<\/a><\/p>\n

Now see everything tells me from the picture above is to run in the other direction, not go towards it.\u00a0 But Chloe being curious, ventured into the lighted area emitted from above.\u00a0 Now you can guess it,, she was taken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As Scott and Greer were on pursuit and were going to continue firing at the enemy ships, that\u2019s when Young told him to stop and to come back to Destiny.\u00a0 Chloe was most likely on one of those ships.\u00a0 The look on his face said it all.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SGU<\/a><\/p>\n

The picture above I found was very cool.\u00a0 The thought that these aliens held there prisoners or study subjects in water with breathing tubes, makes me question as to what type of planet they are from?\u00a0 Though you can guess that Chloe was thinking,, what the $%*#?\u00a0 I know I would.\u00a0 Next thought – how to get out?\u00a0 Then she seen her Alien captors.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Camile Wray came running into the medic area asking what she could do.\u00a0 I think that with everything that\u2019s going on with the sudden aliens attack, that this should pull them all together, but we\u2019ll see.\u00a0 That\u2019s when Wray informed TJ that Chloe was taken, Benson spoke up and asked how.\u00a0 Hopefully this is the beginning of how they will pull together and get themselves home, or find a new home.\u00a0 Either way, I think this is the pivotal moment for the women. Just my personal opinion.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s when Col. Young (Louis Ferreira<\/a>) decides to use the stones again to locate Chloe.\u00a0 Scott objects saying that it should be him, but of course, where Young has already seen the ship and sort of seen the layout,, he would be the obvious person to go in and get her out.\u00a0 Placing the stone on the pad, Young opens up his eyes and he\u2019s aboard the alien ship – again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

So while Young was searching for Chloe, Scott and Greer were questioning the alien who possessed the Colonel\u2019s body.\u00a0 And getting nowhere may I add.\u00a0 The thing only seemed to get more and more agitated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Young came to a room where he seen a figure suspended in water container of sorts, with breathing apparatus\u2019 connected to it, he decided to investigate,, it could be Chloe.\u00a0 But as he wiped the condensation from the outside of the glass, he viewed someone he wasn\u2019t expecting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking around for something to set him free, he then starts beating the tubing of some sort against the glass.\u00a0 After a few smacks out comes Rush with gallons of water with him.\u00a0 After he gets his bearings and pulls off the rest of the hoses connected to his suit, he sees the alien standing there.\u00a0 Not sure as to why, he starts to try and ask it questions.\u00a0 That\u2019s when Rush tries to talk to the alien about the devices that goes onto their heads to be able to read their minds, or something like that. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The alien connects the gadgets to his head and that\u2019s when Rush realizes that it\u2019s Young.\u00a0 But by that time, the stones linking the alien and Young was severed and Rush senses he\u2019s in trouble.\u00a0 But because the device is still attached to the alien\u2019s head, Rush was able to see that they indeed had Chloe and he found out where they were keeping her.\u00a0 After Rush was able to get what information he needed from the alien, there was a fight, somewhat, in which in the end Rush won.\u00a0 But because the alien was now dead, Young couldn\u2019t connect back aboard the ship.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the aliens were firing at them again, Young commanded that they fire everything they had at the mother ship, Scott wasn\u2019t too happy about that, and I can\u2019t blame him, Chloe was still aboard and he needed to get her back.\u00a0 So of course you know what had to happen,,,, Scott left to get her himself.\u00a0 Greer went with him, he wasn\u2019t about to let Scott go alone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

All the while, Rush went around the ship in search of Chloe.\u00a0 Once he located her and got her out of the water prison, he took the transmitters and breathing things off her.\u00a0 Not really sure what the hell was happening she was shocked as to who it was who saved her.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With the shields about to give out, Young was more determined on to destroying the big mother ship even more so now.\u00a0 My guess is because he didn\u2019t want to have Rush back aboard the Destiny to go against his report as to how he got left behind on the planet.\u00a0 But Scott wasn\u2019t about to let him kill Chloe, so he started to power up the shuttle.\u00a0 All the while Rush was looking for a way for him and Chloe to get off the mother ship.\u00a0 Talk about confusion! But you have to love the action!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Just as they were to head out, Scott notices that they were retreating.\u00a0 Except for one as Greer pointed out.\u00a0 That\u2019s when they unstrapped themselves from their seats and headed out of the shuttle and down the corridors.\u00a0 As Eli was powering up the main weapons again, the alien ship went into FTL, or kicked in their hyper drives, and left.\u00a0 With Scott and Greer searching the hallways, they heard a noise as if something was burrowing into the ship. Lt. Scoot and Chloe are reunited.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

They headed towards it and watching a red circle being etched from the roof, then with a loud THUD, the roof fell to the floor.\u00a0 Scott and Greer backed away, not knowing what was going to be coming down next, they got their guns ready for anything that might appear from the hole.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

First was Chloe to jump down from the attached ship.\u00a0 As she ran into Lt. Scott\u2019s arms, Greer kept his gun up and ready.\u00a0 Then the next person emerged from the alien ship, someone no one was expecting. After Rush clarified that he didn\u2019t die, Greer reported to Young through the radio that he needed to get to their position.\u00a0 Something he needed to see..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

With Rush now eating, probably has been awhile too, he then told his story of how he tried to make the crashed ship work and that he may have his a distress signal or something and that\u2019s how he was taken by the aliens.\u00a0 Of course he was questioned on if Young left him on the planet to die, in which case he denied the accusation.\u00a0 But few believed anyway.\u00a0 I figure Rush just wanted to keep some sort of order, no matter how bad he just wanted to put Young down and create a mutiny, but I guess that time will come.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Now is the best part, Young and Rush together again.\u00a0 Rush informing Young that he didn\u2019t deny the story about the rock slide, and Young informing Rush he knew about\u00a0 setting him up for Spencer\u2019s death.\u00a0 So where does this leave these two men?\u00a0 Good question.\u00a0 I don\u2019t see them being best buddies with all the stunts they were doing to each other, although Young leaving Rush on the planet tops the cake.\u00a0 I can only assume that more rivalry is bound to come between them in future shows.\u00a0 But you know what they say, too many cooks in the kitchen.\u00a0 Either way, something is bound to happen again, and it\u2019s going to be interesting as to what.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"2010<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s a nice touching moment with TJ and the new actor Tygh Runyan<\/a>. She asked him about he and Benson, and that\u2019s when he told her that he didn\u2019t feel it would be appropriate on them having a relationship, cause for the main fact if it didn\u2019t work out, then they still have to see each other on the ship in some form or another.\u00a0 And it would be awkward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"WormholeRiders.<\/a>Interesting moment between Dr. Rush and Camile Wray.\u00a0 I think with the two of them teaming up, that Young better watch his back, cause I can see them plotting to overturn the power and control aboard Destiny in “Divided”.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll end off my report with a sequence of pictures as they have done during the ending of the show with the song playing in the background. Know the song? We have discussed it in previous pre-reviews <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
