• First! But I think I'll listen to the podcast first. And yes, I have mixed feelings too.

• Love your comments, very insightful and thankfully supportive of SGU

• For everyone who don't know the site they are speaking about at the beginning. They mean http://www.sgusucks.com/

• What's this "other site for people who feel a certain way" that they are praising in the podcast?

• Good podcast!

  I know that the main site that has propped up by those who really dislike SGU want advertising on here to allow anyone who dislike SGU & aren’t able voice there opinion within Gateworld's rules can go. I would be for that if there was some sort of agreement so that they would leave Gateworld alone and stop "sending soldiers".

  Anyway onto the episode: I really enjoyed 'Space' and believe that it has been the best episode thus far but I think that the story easily could have been a double. We could have seen Rush boarding the shuttle on the planet, his capture, Aliens probing his mind (maybe some torture), his actual escape off the ship with Chloe etc. The battle between both ships could have lasted a bit longer aswell (Could easily have made a good cliff hanger if the Destiny was about to be destroyed by the aliens). To me this episode felt a little crammed and the Rush storyline was resolved far to quickly, personally would have liked Rush to be gone at least for 1 episode to see Eli etc trying to cope without him.

  But although I have some criticisms with the episode such as: where did Young get an electric razor from, Chloe being an idiot, Scott being a good fighter pilot in a shuttle that's barely been used, Rush getting his exact same clothes back etc I think that this was a fab start for season 1.5. Was cool seeing aliens and the action was good, if the remaining episodes of the season are more like this one then SGU doesn't have a problem in my opinion.

• "Rush getting his exact same clothes back"

  No, look at the End of Justice. Rush was wearing Army Clothing

• The podcast was great and very insightful, as to where they are going with this new alien species, the stones, characters, etc.
  What I don't think is the case while entirely possible is that the alien race has nothing to do with the Ancients. It seems to me that they were just a little too easy to beat, given that much like the Wraith, they obviously have superior numbers at least as far as ships are concerned.
  There has to be a reason that Destiny is so important to them and why they were docked on it early in the season. From my own point of view I get the feeling that they are protecting Destiny, to keep Ancient technology from falling into the wrong hands. The fact that they did not name this species also gives me a hint and while I know it is a long shot could they be the long awaited species that we all know as the Furlings?
  I think that space is the best episode yet and can't wait to find out.

• Thanks Altera, that thing really bugged me until reading your coment.

• @altera Can't believe I didn't realize that lol

• i am a little confused with a part of the podcast. They were talking about the aliens not being to get on the ship. But in the episode they showed the aliens drilling holes into Destiny. They were able to even take Chloe from the ship. So how can it be said that the alien are not able to get inside.
