Well I think its said that TPTB want to keep this show separate from Earth and want the crew to be alone on this journey so its quite possible that it might be a one way trip for them. Mind you, one would think the same about Atlantis but after a season we got somewhat regular contact back with Earth. Anyway I'm going to wait and see how this develops; really its got the potential to be good or bad.
Stargate Universe SPOILERS!!

As well as fan favourite characters from other series?
Once again you take things far too literally. He didn't say it was an exact copy of ST Voyager
For one thing I wasn't replying to one poster and for another more than one poster in the thread has posted similar thoughts, it would be nice it you didn't jump to conclusions all of the time.

Eh?
Mr. Fergy says...
And then in the next post you say...
So you're saying you weren't replying to Mr Fergy in your post? And even if you weren't, what does that have to do with anything? And how exactly am I 'jumping to conclusions'? All I said was to stop taking everything people say so literally. Mr Fergy (and everyone else) I don't think meant his or her statement as SGU sounds EXACTLY IDENTICAL to ST:Voyager.
Why? You're replying to me, yet didn't quote me. D'oh!
And why does it matter if you were replying to him or not? He said it sounds like ST:VGR, you replied basically saying "well they're not stuck in the delta quadrant so it's obviously not like ST:VGR", which is what prompted me to tell you to not take things so literally.

In some superficial ways, I suppose. The military vs civilian thing is very Starfleet vs Maquis. And who wasn't thinking of Basics when the Lucian Alliance booted the crew off Destiny and stranded them on that planet?
But overall, the show is more like BSG than Voyager.

Its been years since ive watch Voyager and really i dont even remember the Maquis. I remember them a bit from Deep Space Nine but i just remember they got together on Voyager and be end of episode was all goody good with rest of the crew.
2.07 - THE GREATER GOOD
Dr. Rush and Col. Young are stranded aboard an alien ship.
Destiny comes upon a heavily damaged ship floating in space. Dr. Rush suggests that the alien vessel be explored in the hopes of salvaging any worthwhile data or technology. Without a shuttle, Rush and Col. Young must make a dangerous space-suited expedition to the derelict ship. Once safely aboard, they discover that the ship contains empty pods similar to those they encountered on the seed ship. As Dr. Rush gets the life support and power running, the ship's engines suddenly engage, propelling it away from Destiny. With the power now depleted the ships drift helplessly apart.
Unwilling to tell everyone that he has partial control of The Destiny, Rush claims he has been working on a program to manually fire Destiny's thrusters. Because of the complexity of the program he suggests Dr. Amanda Perry be brought on board via the communication stones to help. Once aboard, Rush covertly informs her of his success with Destiny's master code and directs her to the bridge. With Rush's help, Perry is able to steer Destiny back to the damaged ship. But when Eli unearths their plan, the big secret is revealed much to Rush's chagrin – especially when Young finds out.
2.08 - MALICE
Lucian Alliance prisoner Simeon escapes, creating a manhunt on a remote planet.
Ginn, using the stones to trade bodies with Dr. Amanda Perry, continues to fill in Homeworld Command of an impending Lucian Alliance attack. Suspecting she's giving up valuable information Simeon manufactures an escape by killing his guard then making his way to silence Ginn.
Taking Park hostage, Simeon forces Volker to dial a planet and escapes off the ship. When Rush finds Ginn's lifeless body, knowing what it means for Dr. Perry, he gates to the planet on a mission of vengeance. But Homeworld Command, believing Simeon has information that could prevent an attack on Earth orders he be captured alive. Col. Young must send Lt. Scott and Msgt. Greer to bring Simeon back before he kills Rush or is killed himself.
2.09 - VISITATION
Crewmembers left behind on a seemingly ideal world over a year earlier make a mysterious return.
The Destiny crewmembers left behind on an idyllic planet over a year ago suddenly turn up aboard a shuttle, giving Tamara renewed hope of finding her lost daughter. The circumstances surrounding their surprising return remain a mystery however. Dr. Caine and the others have no memory of how they got there.
Young, fearing alien involvement, isolates Caine and co. Tamara's examination of the former crew verifies not only their identity but also that they are all in perfect physical condition. The investigation of the shuttle reveals the same: it is like new. The mystery takes an unsettling turn when one of the returned crewmembers abruptly drops dead. Wray lobbies Young to let her use regression therapy in the hopes of learning what really happened back on the planet. Young agrees, but the memories stirred prove disastrous for those who've returned.
Meanwhile, as her alien transformation progresses, Chloe prepares her final goodbyes.
2.10 - RESURGENCE
All is not as it seems when Destiny follows a remote energy signature that leads them to a sea of damaged and lifeless ships.

2.10 - RESURGENCE
All is not as it seems when Destiny follows a remote energy signature that leads them to a sea of damaged and lifeless ships.
Destiny detects a remote energy signature originating from an area outside its set course. Dr. Rush believes it could be coming from a potential new power source or could be a sign of intelligent life arguing that whatever is out there could prove to be of great benefit to the crew and Destiny's mission. Col. Young reluctantly agrees and permits Dr. Rush to manipulate navigation and take Destiny off course.
After a day in FTL the ship reaches a sea of wrecked ships, the carnage of a centuries old battle. With no visible signs of danger, Lt. Scott, Msgt. Greer and Volker set off in the shuttle to take a closer look. Eli uses Destiny's systems to recreate a simulation of the battle only to discover the debris is not what it seems.
Chloe succumbs deeper to the alien infection, knowing she poses a greater risk the longer she stays aboard the Destiny. But when a lost friend comes to the rescue it's no longer Chloe's alien abductors the crew has to worry about.
On Earth, Eli struggles with how to tell his mother the truth about what has happened to him. Wray (MING-NA) takes leave to visit Sharon but finds the distance is starting to take its toll on their relationship

Do we really have to use spoiler code in a thread which is clearly titled "SPOILERS!!"?
Anyhoo, The Greater Good sounds generic and run of the mill. Rush and Young are bumping heads. Of course and again. Wonder which camp is the better choice?
Malice actually sounds kind of interesting.
Visitation? No. I am sick of Dr. Caine and his "alien gods." We left them on their Genesis Planet, that's good enough for me. Leave this story buried and forgotten.
Resurgence sounds like it has a decent story set on Destiny which is at least interesting set-up, though could easily be resolved in a very disappointing way. I could do without the stone melodrama from Eli and Wray. And who could this "lost friend" that comes to Chloe's rescue be? I'm not trying to fish for spoilers here, I honestly can't think of anyone would fit the description "lost friend." Dr. Franklin, perhaps?

My guess is Telford.
My problem with Malice is that it appears to be a continuation of the writers' weird agenda to punish the intellectual people on the cast. Seriously, I see no point in killing a character who has only gotten into a relationship two episodes before her death. I would've saved that for the back end of the season.
