Aftermath

Stargate Universe Season Two is pulling out all the stops this time round. There was more than a hint of "character setting" in season one, and whilst correct and proper to do that, some would say myself included that some things dragged on a bit too much.

I love the track Season Two seems to going down. It's getting dark and getting deep. The story line so far is engaging and the cliffhangers do keep you coming back for more.

Robert Carlisle is excellent as usual, by far and away the most complex character of Dr. Rush which he plays with aplomb. The convergence of the battle for control is coming to a head in the next few shows and it is set to be impressive and addictive viewing again.

Robert Cooper is the best writer SGU has ever had. He gave us "Time" in first season, Vegas and Doppelganger in Stargate Atlantis and my all time favorite stargate episode from SG-1 "Threads". These are all very character based episodes. And there we have another great work from Cooper called "Aftermath". The story is fantastic in aspects of drama and drama is something what makes SGU so great.

SPOILERS: Episode begins with Rush discovering the bridge and that's something that will effect all episodes in season 2. Because he can control the ship. This episode was also very sad, because we lost probably most likable side character. Ferreira's(Young) acting was again fantastic and visuals were great as always. I'm looking forward to next episode to find out what this object at the end is.
