Stargate Universe returns to Syfy for the back half of Season 2 with the premiere of “Deliverance”. Here is a quick look at what is coming up on SGU.
Spoiler Alert!
When we last saw our heroes they were fighting for their lives and fending off an attack from a swarm of alien drone ships. All hope seemed to be lost as Destiny was taking a severe beating. So how do our favorite characters make it out of this one? Stargate has a history of setting us up with a massive cliffhanger moment for the mid-season finale, and like those previous stories, Deliverance fails to disappoint. When Destiny’s destruction seemed to be imminent, Chloe steps in and saves the day and sends out a beacon to the aliens that had captured her in Season One. The aliens become a distraction for the drones, who refocus their attack on the new target. This gives the crew of the Destiny a chance to figure out a way to escape their pursuers. In order to stop the drones, they realize that they must work with the other aliens, and that means giving them what they want: Chloe! She agrees to go to the alien ship with the hopes that they will reverse the process that is slowly consuming her. Can they trust these aliens and escape the drones?
“Deliverance” lives up to its name and gives us resolution to some of the lingering plot threads from the first half of the season. We finally get development with Chloe’s Season 2 storyline, and it is a very positive development for the character. Rush also plays a very different role in this episode, showing a new side to the character that previously hadn’t been seen. Will his new persona stick around for the future, or will he revert back to “classic” Rush? Only time will tell.
Syfy has recently announced that they will not be continuing SGU after this season, and that only these 10 episodes remain. Make sure you tune in to Stargate Universe on Syfy channel, Mondays 10p Eastern/9p Central to help ensure a conclusion to this fantastic show.
