    TV Review: Stargate Universe – “Twin Destinies”

    Posted on

    Stargate Universe has returned to Syfy for the back half of Season 2 and tonight we are treated to a time traveling story called “Twin Destinies”. Here is a quick look at what is coming up tonight on SGU.

    Spoiler Alert!

    Eli has found a new way to get the Destiny team home to Earth! Rush disagrees with Eli’s plan and decides to stay onboard the Destiny. He determines that in order to maintain the ship, he would need a total of 12 staff to operate and continue their ancient mission. Right before they initate Eli’s plan, a Destiny Shuttle appears on long range sensors, and its being piloted by Dr. Rush. But how can that be Rush when he is standing on the bridge with the Senior Officers? We learn that this is a Dr. Rush from several hours in the future, and that they had gone through with Eli’s plan, and that Destiny’s crew perished. Can they find a way to make it home without sacrificing the entire crew?

    “Twin Destinies” has a fantastic new take on time travel and allowed for a very different episode of the series. Rush is faced with a future version of himself and is proven to be correct, and must overcome his arrogance to save his friends. We also get some interesting developments between Rush and Col. Young, as Young offers to stay behind with Rush to support the continuation of Destiny’s mission. Lou Diamond Phillips also gets a lot of screen time in this episode and has some surprising developments in both the current and future timelines (not going to give this one away).
     

    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.

    ComicsOnline gives Stargate Universe “Twin Destinies” 4 out of 5 time travel episodes!
