Stargate Universe 'Time' Review

Ok, here it comes. Stargate Universe's inaugural 'time-travel' story.

Many of the 'I hate time travel' people have already stopped reading this so I might as well continue.

They did a good job. Yes thats right, SGU has brought a little more originality to the classic time-travel plot line.

The crew of Destiny end up in a jungle on a planet looking for supplies when they spot a dead kino lying on the ground. The memory banks are full and they return to Destiny to watch....themselves.

That's right, we watch them, watching themselves. We find out a great deal about the characters as they playback footage from the Kino about their disastrous time on a planet that they never visited for more than a short while.

People are killed and Alien creatures swarm the crew but in an interesting and quite original approach to the time-travel plot, they manage to conclude the episode in such a way which had me scratching my head for a bit.

I know I am not explaining this very well, but trust me this is an excellent twist on the classic TNG-esque Time Travel storyline.

7.5/10
