Most Stupid Episode

Stargate that survive black hole blasts, planet explosion, spaceship explosion, survive there for a million year could not take a little drone shooting? How stupid, the writer got water in his head?

Oh my RUSH!

SGU is without a doubt one of the best sci-fi series in decade. There are just so many interesting plot lines and there is always mystery present, which is just great. Viewers must keep asking themselves this questions: who made the drones? what is hidden message all about? Where are all Novas people? And that's something that definitely makes SGU superior to Stargate Atlantis, and I even dare to say SG-1. I know that SGU was canceled due to horrible ratings and I don't blame Sy-Fy, because I think that space sci-fi on TV is in huge crisis at the moment.

So, let's talk about episode. Episode was just perfect. Great drama, fantastic action, mystery, interesting plot line and great acting. I also think it was very funny Rush being the demon and Futura :D The kino videos from 2000 years were great too. I am looking forward to see what happened to Novas people. And I know that remaining episodes will end SGU with blast.

Trivia
The new homeworld established by the Ancestors is called Novus, which is Latin for "new."

Goofs
The crew of Destiny don't need to have a big moral debate over whether or not to help their descendants. If Novus is within range of the colony's gate then so would Destiny be if it was in orbit of Novus. Destiny just had to fly there and the colonists gate to Destiny then shuttle down to the surface.

Quotes
Eli Wallace: Destroying that drone only helps us if we make it to the next jump, assuming that's how they tracked us in the first place.
[Dr. Nicholas Rush glances over, with no response]
Eli Wallace: Sorry. Just panicking out loud.
