TV: Stargate Universe

So we get to see a new race.
Seems like they are a "NoKill" one, since they use stun energy guns.
We'll see wether they really are of the "NoKill" philosophy if we get a followup on Telford's predicament.

I'm a bit surprised that in the two races they get to see, both aren't ready to kill immediately.
But I guess it could be just because they need to get more intel on the living creatures that operate Destiny.

We also get to see a gate installer ship, that happens to be a dock for Destiny too.

Rush should not be able to hide his full control of the ship for much longer.

It's a bit hard to see where the show is going, because everything seems like a huge intro to something bigger. But boy we have to endure the painfully slow developments to get there.

Eli character development has been stalling from the beginning, and it's starting to be uterly disapointing.
He's one of the top five members of the crew, yet appart from unlocking the ninth chevron and playing with the flying sphere cameras... he's useless! He's to be both a geek and a math genius.
I understand he didn't have any experience with ancient tech or any alien tech, as Rush did.
But he should be able to adapt in time, and he doesn't show any progress, doesn't get anything. And we already knew about everything displayed in that episode regarding his personality developments.

On the contrary, Chloe started with a very boring character type/synopsis but is slowly getting more and more interesting, even if with a now overused plot device in sci-fi shows.

Other than that, pretty boring ep, we already had a very similar scenario last year. The only thing it did is show that everyone moves on, on Desitny and on Earth too. And both places have their problems/shortcomings/fate...

Another totally useless episode, with an instantCupOfScenario overused over the years and that crappy "someone has the right blood, just transfer" pseudomedical solution that would kill in real life...

And there's really nothing added to the season/show. Only screentime.
