Stargate Universe continues to impress with its greater emphasis on drama and characters compared to previous incarnations of the show.In episode 'life' we see the ancient communication stones being put to use again as Scott and Camile take their turn to visit home. We finally get to see Ming-Na's character 'Camile' getting some decent screen time. Her same-sex relationship with her lover back on Earth is utterly convincing and surprising to watch on a Science Fiction series.
Scott has to deal with a former lover who has since had his child, 8 years ago without his knowledge.
Back on Destiny, hopes are raised when Rush discovers another 'Icarus-like' planet approximately 1 year away therefore giving the crew an opportunity to get home. This is too late for one of the crew members who has just ran out of medication and is causing all sorts of tension and arguments to ensue. In the middle of all this, Johansen is conducting a psychiatric review of everyone on board Destiny and we are not entirely surprised to see that almost everyone is not exactly thrilled about their situation, well except Rush perhaps.

I don't know what planet your on but Stargate Universe is a load of crap - The characters are as interesting as eating cardboard! I loved the other shows (SG1 & Atlantis)!
I hear that a lot. But I don't understand. This show is far more adult in its method of bringing drama and characters.
I loved SG1 and Atlantis too and although the characters were good, they were basically the same every single week.
You must be blind (or 12) to not appreciate the far superior writing of this incarnation.
When i used to watched the previous incarnations stargate they always left me feeling uplifted for watching it, colonel/general o'neill always made me laugh, they have lost that and much more. This show just depress the hell out of me with all the bloody in fighting. So after being a long time stargate fan i will not continue to watch this series(stargate universe).
I have such a bad feeling that this show will get cancelled due to the negative opinions from longtime fans! Please see this show for what it is worth. In fighting and conflict is good! More people will come to watch Sci Fi with a show like this than SG1 or Atlantis due to the much better characters and writing. Maybe I am just too old now, 31 is that old?
