From TV Guide:

An expert in hyper drives, who has a past with Dr. Rush, arrives on the Destiny via the communication stones when it seems the ship will run out of power before it reaches its next destination, which would leave the crew adrift.

From Sky1:

With their power reserves running out, Rush is concerned that the Destiny will be set adrift. Help is at hand in the form of brilliant scientist Amanda Perry.

  • Ahhh, so this is the famous "Gatefail" episode of which I have read!
    Wonder what people will say after it airs and how controversial it will actually turn out to be.

  • controversy you say, but to whom, and for what? Of Whom the What made weary, then the Blimey should giggle undaunted.

  • From what I've read (only, haven't seen it yet), the casting call was more controversial than the actual episode. Now that we've seen them use the communication stones so much, I just figured it was implied that when you agree to use them, the other person is granted complete access to use the host body. At least that aspect doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

  • It was a good Episode, from the beginning to the End, really good. The open ending with Frnklin, it was awesome. The whole Situation with Amanda Perry was Interesting because Rush was a different person. Thats my POV over Rush, in this Situation.

    Then the Aliens on the Planet, and they´re only saw the Aliens, because Young wants his standard Gate Traveling Protocol.

  • I was utterly disappointed, why on earth could we not have had episodes like this right at the start! I LOVED everything about it, the Amanda Perry character was brilliant (and also very hot lol) the subtle way in which she was written was portrayed was to me, the highlight of the episode, it was handled with so much care and thought, and the actress did an outstanding job of just being so amazed about just moving her hand, I really hope we see more of her in the future.

    The rest of the episode was solid, little disappointed in the robot, when it was first discovered it looked huge, unless I was looking at something else, it was pretty dark, but even then, the fact that the Ancients had things like that is so cool, I always wondered how they made their things, somehow I couldn't picture them in hard hats and overalls lol

    The ending actually made me go WTF! I was expecting him to be frozen in ice or something, not to be just gone, I smell ascension! Either that or he's been sucked up into the cieling where all the smoke came from lol

  • Old question, but I just saw Heroes, Pt II yesterday. On the Women in Stargate podcast the ladies were talking about how Sam made a mistake that lead to Janet being killed. I don't really understand what they are referring to. Can anyone shed a light on the situation?

  • Not sure what to make of this episode would probably say that it’s the weakest of the 2nd half thus far. It wasn't really established how the ship was sabotaged, the only mention was when Lt James was having weird dreams and suddenly came to the conclusion that she did it & that realisation didn't get a lot of screen time. Personally would have liked to of seen the sabotage being done even if it was at least in Lt James getting flashes of it.

    I think that the return of Eli, Scott & Chloe was just a little too convenient. I hope there is something more to it since at the moment it looks like if one of the main cast gets stranded they will be back on the Destiny save & sound by the next episode.
    Rush certainly seems to be softening up a bit now and so may be able to work better with other members of the crew, but hopefully not too much. I kinda like his arrogance and hidden motives, in my opinion it makes him an intriguing character.

    I'm not a fan of the communication stones so I didn't really enjoy the Wray scenes on Earth but I will say that Ming-Na did do a good job with the acting.

    The Franklin thing though could prove to be interesting, I’m curious as to what happened to him. The 2 theories ive heard is that he either managed to Ascend or he integrated with the ship (If the ship does have an AI then Franklin & it could have merged), I'm leaning more towards ascension myself. They may finally be able to gain control of the ships systems because of it.

    They could have been done a little more with this episode. For example there was a battle with the aliens going on but you easily could not have noticed it. They could have cut back on the Wray scenes on Earth a little to show more action when the ship is under attack.
