SGU Season Two reveals Destiny‘s mission


SPOILER ALERT: MODERATE
The upcoming second season of Stargate Universe will expand upon the show’s mythology, giving viewers new insights on just why the Ancients set the Destiny on a pre-programmed course millions of years ago.
Among those insights is the fact that the ship isn’t just allowing its reluctant crew from Earth to explore the unknown, but that it is also going somewhere in particular.
SCI FI PI reports that “the Destiny has a destination of cosmic importance,” according to an upcoming interview with executive producer Brad Wright — “so important that it overshadows the desire for the crew to get home, and that by fulfilling this new mission, it may in fact allow them to get home.”
Editors from the Australian broadcaster’s official Web site recently visited the set of the show in Vancouver, B.C., and also got a peek at a casting sheet for “Resurgence,” with hints of what fans are in store for when the mid-season finale arrives at the end of 2010.
According to the site, the info indicated “a gigantic battle in space featuring an armada of alien spaceships, and possibly a planet-based battle, are coming to Stargate Universe. Great news for Stargate action junkies!”
According to the site,the tenth episode of the season might include such thing as “a holographic image of a battlefield,” and “a sea of wrecked ships.”
For more check out the original report now at SCI FI PI! The new season of Stargate Universe premieres in October on Syfy Channel.
(Thanks to Oscar and Morjana for the tip!)

This sounds awesome. I can’t wait until October.
osirisoflight | June 29 @ 3:30 pmThis sounds outstanding, I hope we get a look or some info on the seeder ships!!
ipfnd | June 29 @ 3:35 pmfinally, on with the show, and ending the soap opera!
retiredat44 | June 29 @ 3:44 pmAWESOME! i honestly don’t think i can wait that long
kellx | June 29 @ 3:52 pmWhat I would like to know is where all the gates come from. Destiny is supposed to be seeding worlds with gates right? So I figure there’s got to be a place on the ship where there are a bunch of gates. Also I wonder if we’ll see any space gates this season.
hookedonSG | June 29 @ 4:16 pmOh look sure is B(SG) around these parts… Oh who am I kidding! I’m mighty fine with that!
Togame | June 29 @ 4:21 pmThat’s what they should have put out much earlier as part of a bigger story line!
sgfan | June 29 @ 4:27 pmSounds spectacular! October cannot come soon enough!
Alan | June 29 @ 4:45 pm@hookedonSG: if you have followed what they said it in the end of Air part 2, they said that there was sent several seeder ships ahead of Destiny.
Elder Dragon | June 29 @ 4:46 pm@hookedonSG Space Gates were designed for Puddle Jumpers since Destiny was launched from a different Era I don’t think we will see any.
lkg | June 29 @ 5:58 pmWOW, the “destination of cosmic importance” it sounds Really good…. maybe alternate Universe with a bad guys next? But we shell see!
kino | June 29 @ 6:04 pmOoo! The Ancients sent out the Destiny to meet the Furlings! We are going to see the Furlings!
MarkusPedersen | June 29 @ 6:26 pmKellx, Destiny isn’t the ship that seeded planets with gates, it is just following the course that the ships seeding the planets had taken. :D
phoenixphyre | June 29 @ 7:50 pmI’d laugh if the it’s destination was back to Earth or possible to find Atlantis, hell why not even to meet a still living bunch of Ancients
warrior | June 29 @ 8:10 pmI’d say supergate, first city-ship, or working wormhole drive. All something the Lucian Alliance would also love to get their hands on and probably those blue aliens.
mrmichaelt | June 29 @ 8:34 pmLooking forward to Season 2 in October.
Pioneering | June 29 @ 9:12 pm@warrior y would it be to find atlantis destiny was built and launched thousands of years before atlatis was built or even left earth in the 1st place
gpaste | June 29 @ 9:18 pm@gpaste, who knows (just threw it out there), but correct me if I am wrong but don’t the Gates do some sort of Auto update, it’s also possible that this update could also add gates to the system, and Atlantis would have been one of the last Gates to be added/updated to the Gate network, it’s Scifi anythings possible
warrior | June 29 @ 9:50 pmHeh, my expectations just went up a bit, and I was already pretty excited! I’ve been saying this from the pilot, but SGU is Voyager done RIGHT. This is another example of that.
Voyager’s main plot never changed, or evolved. Sure, they brought in the Borg, but a few two-parters here and there doesn’t do a lot for the whole.
Evilslayer | June 30 @ 2:48 amFinally.. they could use a whole spin-off just to focus on this storyline.. I’d still buy SGU on iTunes.. I swear.. I might not get around to watching it “every” week.. but promise by Christmas every year! Full speed ahead.. can we speed through a few episodes?
jwillis84 | June 30 @ 3:09 amI think that crew of the Destiny will find way to ascension…
D-Trix | June 30 @ 3:32 amwow, tooooo little toooooooo late. and all it took was losing 60 percent of their starting ratings. cool.
shaq33 | June 30 @ 7:08 amYeah thanks for the spoiler in the actual News headline. Some of us didn’t want to know until it aired.
somme | June 30 @ 7:55 amFinally, it has been so long since we have had an interesting ancient mythology arc.
