It was really neat to finally be able to see the relationship between the conscious and the bodies they are possessing. When Telford (Lou Diamond Phillips), in Rush (Robert Carlyle)'s body, began to react to the lack of atmosphere in his room, Telford's body suffered as well. If one died, the other would too. And while this understanding did, sort of, lead to Young's decision not to vent the atmosphere on the Lucian Alliance, which would have killed both Telford and Rush, I absolutely loved watching O'Neall (Richard Dean Anderson) finally tell Young off for being a terrible officer.
Really, though, it was another example of how useless Young is, and his conclusion at the end of the episode, to attack now, may end up being just another poor decision. The only indication that it's not complete garbage is that Rush, a man we all do consider intelligent, has backed it.
Meanwhile, Chloe (Elyse Levesque) is bothering me again. I'm sorry but I just don't like her enough to care that she might be slowly dying from a bullet in her leg and from lack of air. Eli (David Blue), I care about, but not Chloe. They just better do something incredible to save the day and make all her weakness worth having suffered through.
Finally, what vaporized that Lucian Alliance guy? Is it some weird defense system built into the Destiny? Did Eli do that when he pressed those random buttons? Is in an ancient who ascended but stuck around the ship? Does it have to do with those fish aliens? Or is it something completely new and unexpected? As long as it's not a replicator I'm happy.
So, one more episode left, and it's going to end with a massive cliffhanger (or at least, that's what I've heard). The thing is, Stargate Universe has gotten to be so good (unlike the first 10 episodes) that it doesn't need to leave me tense and desiring answers to have me back when it resumes. But it does so love leaving us desperate for more.
