Stargate: Universe (2010) – Cloverdale, and Trial and Error

Cloverdale brings us to what may be my least favourite episode of the series. Written by Brad Wright, this episode was first broadcast on 26 October, 2010.

Stargate: Universe (2010) – Faith, and Human

Dennis McGrath wrote Faith, which debuted on 16 April, 2010. Young (Louis Ferreira) seems to be back in charge, but there is still a lot of animosity over the military and civilian conflict.
