[...] are so close. I’m mixed on this episode. I like the dark character twists. I don’t like the love [...]

terrible!
yet another time-travel episode… After 1969, 2010, Window of opportunity, stargate continuum, moebius, last man standing (just to name a few), the producers showed again, that they are empty… yet another time-travel episode.

And the stupid kinos are so annoying! Cant aliens make proper cameras???
Good thing they all died and if we are lucky then they’ll stay dead.

But,.. Cloe, will return from the dead next episode won’t she? After all if Daniel could be dead, excuse me ascended, for a whole season then Cloe should return next episode, as this is way too early to kill of regular cast members. I mean who would Eli and Lt Scott whine over.

It was mediocre at best. At least they actually used the Stargate in this one. Alas, we still had incredibly annoying Eli blathering on relentlessly, and I seriously wanted to shove that Kino into his … The whole, ‘gotta document it’ is just a huge cop out, and a way to indulge the writer’s voyeuristic tendencies. Essentially it was yet another imminent death situation but in a different setting.
Yes we got to gate to a forest planet, but yet again we’re face a hostile strange alien. On the plus side, we finally got some character development without the incessant whining and moaning, and got away from the single set, gate room. So it looks like they’ve blown their budget, and it looks like we’re going back to the ship and whiny crew for the rest of season. You know this show is in trouble, when the fans enjoy the characters getting killed.

I just saw the kino webisode, it does look like they ended the episode.

The big question is: Did Rush bring back his skull as a souvenir?

Adam, I’m not sure if it was resolved or not, either way it was a poor ending. I assumed it a a weak cliffhanger.

Um, this isn’t a ‘multi-part episodes’ the story was resolved, that Kino was sent back and the Destiny crew sorted it out, that’s what was implied anyway (and confirmed in a webisode).

Finally an episode with some action adventure, gun fire and they blew something up, even a time paradox for those of us with an IQ over 90.

As for the personal drama like Eliâ€™s momâ€™s mystery sickness, I could care less.

This show did however answer my question of what Rush’s motivation is and find it disappointing being as simply learning the secret of ascension. I think it would have been better if he suggested he might know the ships final destination and why.

The previews for next weeks show ‘Life’ looks like we are back to more stupid soap operas.

Yeah, that was the end of the episode. They gave us all the pieces for the conclusion, you just have to put them together yourself:

1. The New KINO is filled with all the information Scott knew.
2. The new team will find it and won’t have to figure it out for themselves again.
3. They can go to the planet during the day, when it will be much easier to catch those… things (they made a point of having Greer mention as much)

I really enjoyed this episode. It could pip Light to the post as my fave so far. And I thought the Jungle looked fine, considering it was basically made in a shed?

Nearly a “good” episode. But the jungle was so fake. More like a 1960s jungle from a B film.

This was definitely my favorite episode of SGU so far. Thrilling, engaging, sensitive, and (finally) with a cool sci-fi premise.

It wasn’t the first of a two-parter, though. The story really does END like that (a la “Butch Cassidy”). Pretty cool, I thought — a very outside-the-box way to end a fairly traditional science fiction “reset button” premise.
