We did not get that.
And even when I realized that the conflict would be among the passengers of the Destiny, as well as issues with the ship herself, I thought that could be interesting too.
And last week, with the episode Time, we actually got something worthy of the name Stargate. There was a time issue, and alien squid to fight and tension and interest. And it ended with a cliffhanger.
And where did it pick up this week? Last week might as well not have happened - the sickness, the planet, none of it was even addressed. Did I miss an episode? I can't find mention of it anywhere. So instead of giving us a follow up to a good episode, they ignored it and gave us yet another boring and useless episode.
I am so disappointed with SGU. I want to like it. And I do love some of the actors, don't get me wrong. I though Ming-Na's portrayal of Camile Wray was quite moving this week - she makes me care, which most of the time I must make a great deal of effort to do in the series.
But I don't think I can keep watching this show - it's too disappointing. If I want to watch relationship drama, I'll tune back into Melrose Place. Give me science fiction! Give me fantasy! Try the stupid machine of the ancients that you found instead of giving crappy psych evals that waste a bunch of time and serve no other purpose.
The most action we had was when Col. Young beat up Col. Telford.
It's trying to be a whole lot of things, and failing at all of them, but the worst part is that Stargate Universe does not seem to be trying to be a show in the Stargateverse.
Are you equally dissatisfied? Or am I missing something that you feel makes the show worthwhile? Let me know
