Lezzers in the latest ep

why do the writers feel the need to do this ? , surely they could have put something more along the lines of sg1 or atlantis

it is sh*t, Id have quite watching already if it wasnt for the name of it.....

As well as watching this Im also watching the BBC2 series Defying Gravity. This has far less action but is somehow dramatically far better, at least IMO.

Could they be trying too hard? :shrug:

I tried watching Defying Gravity, thought it was bloody awful, just a rather pale imitation of Virtuality (shame they never turned the pilot into a full series).. At least Stargate Universe was making a bit of an effort even if it didnt come across all that well.

Did I miss something? the jungle ep ended kinda on what I assumed to be the promise of a 2-parter, nothing was resolved whatsoever. And then the latest ep theyre carrying on as if it never happened?

Havent seen the latest but I thought it looked like a two parter, but, the programmes do seem to be better integrated than most into a single time line rather than interchangeable episodes.

I did check the sky guide as I hadnt deleted the last 2 eps from Sky+. Supposedly havent missed any episodes between the end of the jungle ep and the beginning of this one. If they decided to say "the message left at the end of the jungle ep explained everything and they solved their problem, the end" that really is one of the biggest cop-outs yet.

And what with all the time travel surely theyd have received that message anyway and the entire episode shouldnt have happened the way it did...?

Whats the point in doing more, theyve already established the existance of a time vortex sending people back in time through the gate.
They are all infected with a deadly bug
There is a cure from the venom of a deadly animal

The solider boy gave them the facts and instructions, simples.

So it was a cakewalk going to the planet, finding the animals (how did they even know what he was talking about, he didnt describe them/where to find them) and extracting the anti-venom from it?

On the one hand I agree, with this time loop thing, they could/should have exploited it, using the time difference to do some research, documenting it, and then sending it back. That way they could have had a few days/10 days/100 days of research done and documented without using any resources.

But that would have been fairly boring viewing.

But then again the whole process of getting the animals etc could have been done through another episode, they could have exploited that storyline a bit more. As it is it felt a bit like they got bored of the story or ran out of time.money for that set and had to finish things off.

Just finished watching the final ep of the season today. Its a shame as it ended quite strongly I feel, shame about some of the bits on the way though. Ill at least want to continue watching to see what kind of cliche they use to get out of the pickle theyre in.
