And the tension escalates nicely, in The Greater Good. First airing on 9 November, 2010, the episode was written by Carl Binder. While Young and Rush head…

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. Now, just because I said least favourite, doesn’t mean it’s not good. It’s just Universe has set a pretty high bar for the series. Scott (Brian J. Smith)…

Stargate: Universe (2010) – Awakening, and Pathogen

Series creators Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie penned Awakening, which first aired on 12 October, 2010. The object the Destiny was headed towards at the end of the last episode?

Exit Strategy (2018) – Martha Wells

I love the Murderbot Diaries, I find them entertaining, fun, and funny as hell. Martha Wells has created a character and universe that I love revisiting. And with the size of the diary entries, none of the books so far have been much longer than a novella. This story circles back to check in on…

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. Morale seems to be low, as repairs on the Destiny seem to be taking forever. When there’s an unexpected drop out of…
