I will not reveal the precise nature of the revelations, but will share this; The use of real science theory has always been a part of the Stargate franchise as a foundation of the story line. In episode seven we learn how and what our beloved Stargate Ancients learned and why Dr. Rush has been so obsessed with his quest aboard Destiny. In \u201cThe Greater Good\u201d we will also learn that others in the Destiny crew will internalize these science based theories. These facts within the story arc will do much to draw the crew of Destiny closer together.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good MingNa David Blue &amp; Brian J.

Young. In Aftermath we learn that he has found the bridge in a special effects sequence of outstanding perspective by Mark Savela\u2019s team of special effects gurus.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">During the time on the Destiny bridge, Dr. Rush is visited by what I can only describe as apparitions from his past no doubt either from his subconscious mind being influenced by Ancient Technology on Destiny itself. The first returning character is his wife Gloria Rush who chides him for keeping the bridge of Destiny a secret. One can assume that Rush has had access to the bridge for some time since he has continually come up with answers to the crews problems time and time again in search of planets to sustain the crew aboard Destiny.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The question arises; how long has Dr. Rush been accessing the bridge? My theory is ever since \u2018Human\u2019 (indirectly) when he was interfaced with the Destiny after the death of Dr. Jeremy Franklin (<a title=\"Click to learn more about Mark Burgess on IMDB!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0121323\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mark Burgess<\/a>) in the Ancient Chair which Dr. Rush survived. In the secret bridge location Dr. Franklin returns in Dr. Rush\u2019s mind to warn him of oversights on a pending shuttle mission to a planet with a malfunctioning Stargate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I find the use of \u2018dead\u2019 characters quite revealing. Dr. Rush talks with these two characters figuring out that the apparitions are likely being caused from some sort of neural interface between his mind and Destiny. One is instantly reminded of the holographic interface room in Stargate Atlantis where Ascended Ancient Morgan Le Fay was actually taking part in the Lantian device revealing knowledge to Dr. Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran in \u2018Pegasus Project\u2019. \u00a0Could the same be happening in Stargate Universe aboard Destiny? I believe so, but that exact reference remains to be delineated by the creators.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Figuring it out!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20558\" title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Figuring it out!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000020.png\" alt=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Figuring it out!\" width=\"576\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000020.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000020-256x142.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Therefore, the hypothetical question is: are there Ascended Ancients in the galaxy helping Dr. Rush? My theory and answer is a definite yes there are. Although we do not know where the original crew of the Destiny went, in the opinion of this reviewer, the apparitions are the Ancients way to guide poor Dr. Rush find the path to ensure the survival of the humans aboard Destiny in this galaxy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As the story progresses, the second question on this point is whether or not Dr. Rush will put two and two together and figure it out in his self inflicted state of obsessive exhaustion. These factors caused him to make mistakes leading to the death of a crewman. We see in Aftermath the results of Dr. Rush\u2019s exhaustion. This awareness by Dr. Rush to the presence remains to be seen, but I am hopeful because I do not believe Dr. Rush is evil. He is simply obsessed with the mission that Destiny has embarked on with its new crew. However, Dr. Rush\u2019s obsession appears to be blinding him to the truth which we learn more about in \u201cThe Greater Good\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S2x07 - MingNa with Brian J.

In Aftermath, we see further evidence of the talent inherent in MingNa\u2019s performance when she interviews the Lucian Alliance character Ginn portrayed by Julie McNiven. MingNa is an anchor character in Stargate Universe that is not to be overlooked nor discounted. Her talent is outstanding as witnessed by her facial expressions and body language in several scenes with Col. Everett Young (Justin Louis as Louis Ferreira). MingNa&#8217;s acting skills are simply exquisite!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Talented MingNa Camile Wray!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20560\" title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Talented MingNa Camile Wray!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000024.png\" alt=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Talented MingNa Camile Wray!\" width=\"576\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000024.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000024-256x143.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The Camile Wray character portrayed by MingNa has grown dimensionally with each appearance in Stargate Universe to the point of delighting this reviewer.\u00a0 I expect much from Camile as she continues to expand her influence on Destiny. We know that the civilians already trusted her well before the failed attempted to take over the Destiny in season one. Importantly since the return of Stargate Universe in season two, we witness a healthy measure of respect between her and former nemesis Sgt. Greer (Jamil Walker Smith) in several sequences that include a &#8220;nod&#8221; from Sgt. Greer to Camile as he protects the crew from the likes of Simeon (<a title=\"Click to learn more about Robert Knepper on IMDB!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0460694\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Knepper<\/a>) of the Lucian Alliance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - Jamil Walker Smith in charge!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20530\" title=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - Jamil Walker Smith in charge!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000010.png\" alt=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - Jamil Walker Smith in charge!\" width=\"576\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000010.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000010-256x142.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">One of the greatest impacts of her characterization is MingNa\u2019s scene with Col.

MingNa does an excellent job in doing so. We do not see much of MingNa in some recent episodes, however we know that her influence is there by the way the crew, civilian and military are behaving themselves and working more like a team. I for one look forward to more of MingNa as Stargate Universe continues in season two and hopefully in season three. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - Julie McNiven as Ginn \" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20529\" title=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - Julie McNiven as Ginn \" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000009.png\" alt=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - Julie McNiven as Ginn \" width=\"576\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000009.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000009-256x142.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Newcomer Julie McNiven as Ginn is a nice addition to the cast scheduled to appear in five episodes of season two of Stargate Universe. 30 year old McNiven, a versatile actress perhaps best known for her roles in Supernatural and AMC\u2019s Madmen is most believable as Ginn.

Mike Dopud has appeared in all three incarnations of Stargate and he simply excels as the Lucian Alliance character Varro in Stargate Universe. From his first appearance in season one \u2018Subversion\u2019, we have seen several times that he appears conflicted but is not truly evil. This was evidenced in a scene with Lou Diamond Phillips. Mike is scheduled to appear for seven episodes extending into the second half of season two in episode \u2018The Hunt\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Speaking of <a title=\"Click to visit and follow Lou Diamond Phillips on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/LouDPhillips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lou Diamond Phillip<\/a>s, a principle character in the series as Col. David Telford, we observe that he remains loyal to the crew of Destiny after being de-programmed he had been assigned to guard duty over the lock up with the Lucian Alliance, not a very choice assignment. For his role for being in cahoots with the Lucian Alliance, Col. David Telford is treated somewhat as a second class citizen by Col. Young. In a scene with Varro, Col. Telford appears to be downtrodden, but his character is by no means defeated as seen in Cloverdale.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU Cloverdale Telford and Young\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20212\" title=\"SGU Cloverdale Telford and Young\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic8_LDP.jpg\" alt=\"SGU Cloverdale Telford and Young\" width=\"579\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic8_LDP.jpg 579w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic8_LDP-256x181.jpg 256w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic8_LDP-540x384.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">In a highly effective portrayal of Col.

After a fight breaks out in the makeshift brig, if not for Col. Telford, I do believe that Col. Young would have literally choked the Lucian Alliance soldier to death. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">There is good in Col.

Dr. Rush\u2019s errors in judgment become completely exposed in \u201cThe Greater Good\u201d in a confrontation between Col. Young and Dr. Rush. For fans of this confrontation be prepared for a turn-about in Dr. Rush when the shoe is placed on the other foot so to speak. It is a subtle touch in &#8220;The Greater Good&#8221;, but nevertheless Dr. Rush reveals what I stated earlier, there is good in this character as you will see for yourselves.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - The Act of Saving!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20566\" title=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - The Act of Saving!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000025.png\" alt=\"SGU S2x07 - The Greater Good - The Act of Saving!\" width=\"576\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000025.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000025-256x145.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Concluding for now, some people and groups have chosen to live in the past and unfairly blame Stargate Universe for the non-renewal of Stargate Atlantis. They are simply put just plain incorrect in such an assessment. Anyone who has worked in the entertainment industry (such as myself), knows that SGU was not responsible for the non renewal of SGA.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Some misguided individuals are of the same ilk as when SGA continued after Stargate SG-1 was not renewed for an eleventh season. People need to understand that entertainment is a business not a right or an inevitability simply because people want a series to continue. People and groups that protested the non renewal of SG-1 in 2007 and SGA in 2009 must understand that the business realities of advertising revenues dictate whether a series will be funded for additional seasons and live on or not. Therefore be happy and toast to Stargate Universe!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Toast to Stargate Universe!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20570\" title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Toast to Stargate Universe!\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000026.png\" alt=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Toast to Stargate Universe!\" width=\"576\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000026.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000026-256x144.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Mandy in Ginn &amp; Dr. Rush\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20574\" title=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Mandy in Ginn &amp; Dr. Rush\" src=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000027.png\" alt=\"SGU S2x07 The Greater Good - Mandy in Ginn &amp; Dr. Rush\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000027.png 576w, http:\/\/wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Snapshot000027-256x144.png 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Such individuals protest too much (especially on Twitter) making claims that they would confront the celebrities as if the celebrities make the business decisions. Several ran up their ego\u2019s Saturday night before the appearance of Brian J. Smith and Elyse Levesque at TriCon in Los Angeles. As it turned out these so called experts are very brave when hiding behind a keyboard, but are reticent to make a scene in public where their transparency would be exposed for the world to see for what it is: keyboard bravery.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Notably amongst these are Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica which had their initial runs in the late 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s. The protests by the critics and the fans by their failure to support the studios and creators lead the creators to place the franchises \u201con the shelf\u201d. These two series returned, but it took many years, sometimes decades for the franchises to return in movies and new series. People that attack Stargate Universe are risking the same fate. So ask yourself these simple questions:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Do you want more Stargate in movies and television series? If your answer is yes, then be thankful for all the painstaking work the Stargate creators, crews and actors have gone through to continue the franchise over the past 16 years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you do not enjoy a series, then why are you watching and complaining? Doing so is like spitting into the wind or urinating on one\u2019s self. Be respectful of the creators, the studios and the actors and critically to yourself. If you do not like a series then do not watch it. Do not go around the Internet making \u201cloud noises\u201d. Remember that if you do, you have no right to complain because you did not support a series and or franchise that was discontinued because you the fan failed to support it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Think of the Stargate franchise (and other shows and movie franchises) like a family with children. Is it appropriate to say \u201cI love one child more than the other\u201d? Or is it appropriate to say \u201cThis child is not as good as the other(s)\u201d? And lastly if you are a parent, would you like it if someone referred to members of your family in such a fashion? Hardly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Let us set the record straight. First the actors are doing the jobs they were hired for. To attack them is reprehensible conduct displaying behaviors similar to grade school children. Second, over the past 44 years the fans of several series buried their favorite series franchise producers by failing to support the programs by watching the shows live only to complain when a show is not renewed. Shame on you and learn this: You cannot have it both ways. Support the actors, creators, crews and studios whom are simply doing their jobs. Please do not snipe at them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We leave you now but will return with more about Stargate Universe in the near future. \u00a0Thankfully Stargate Universe returns this evening on SyFy at 9 PM East and West.
