Review: Resurgence
An action-packed beginning to the mid-season two-part story Mid-season two-parters have become something of a tradition in every Stargate TV series. They usually deliver a suitably action-packed story which leaves our heroes dangling precariously in some dangerous situation and the audience with the words “to be continued.” “Resurgence” is no…

Review: Visitation
Thought-provoking and intelligent Universe declares a change of pace with “Visitation,” delving into mystery, mythology and philosophy before the series heads into its mid-season and no doubt action-packed two-parter. Here, some plot threads are tied up as What Happened to T.J’s Baby and the Group Who Stayed Behind in “Faith”…

Review: Awakening
Moments which do not quite add up to a plot It’s fairly clear to see in hindsight that the primary purpose of “Awakening” is to get Colonel Telford off Destiny, and really that was its only purpose. The main plot is so geared toward that end goal that the episode…

Review: Aftermath
The strength of what is right, eclipses what is wrong It’s hard to describe exactly why I thought “Aftermath” so brilliant because it is brilliant on so many different levels that it’s hard to know where to begin; the very clever arc, a truly heartbreaking episodic plot, the tension, the…

Review: Intervention
Not big on action, just an intriguing beginning When last we left the crew of Destiny, all were facing mortal peril after an invasion by the Lucian Alliance and generally stumbling around in the dark. Question after question was posed in the finale: would Rush wrest control of the ship…
