The trailer shows Chloe undergoing a change, which seems to affect her both physically and mentally. This could be a stand-alone infection story (new info on “Cloverdale” indicates this sort of infection), or it could be a result of her captivity by the “Space” aliens — hinted at when she recognized that alien language on the computer console in “Lost.” The mental change might also be totally separate from the ugly skin condition.
Are the aliens deliberately trying to transform her into something? A hybrid? A weapon? A sleeper agent? An intermediary for communication? Look for some unexpected insights into Rush’s work, obvious complications with her relationship with Matt, and a wicked skin condition that even prescription-strength bacitracin can’t cure.
5. Less Infighting, More Cooperation
— At least as far as that is possible on a show with shifting alliances, an uncertain command structure, and now bad guys living and working alongside us. Definitely expect some of our favorites to come to blows, at least early on in the year. But after a discovery is made (see below), the crew will have common cause to come together much more than they have been to date.
“We kind of establish a common goal, a mission, so that we’re not all focused on going home, but rather going forward,” executive producer Robert C. Cooper said at Comic-Con (via Airlock Alpha). “We may not ever get home, but being here is really, really cool. So let’s stop all this bickering and start trying to work together.”
This season the reluctant crew of Destiny will discover just what the ship’s ultimate purpose is — where it is going, and why the Ancients launched it so many eons ago. This will shift much of the focus away from the pressing desire to simply leave the ship and go home.
This is obviously a HUGE step forward in the show’s mythology. Just what the big secret is, we have no idea. (Well, OK, we have a few wild ideas, but no solid info.) But we do know that this discovery comes earlier, rather than later in the season. And we also know that another big piece of the SGU mythology will appear in episode #3: the seeder ships, sent ahead of Destiny by the Ancients to place Stargates on various planets. Destiny catches up with one of its companion vessels, presumably allowing our crew to go aboard. Just what secrets does it hold about why the Ancients launched these ships many millions of years ago?
With all of that in mind, here’s the trailer one more time:

Overall I’m liking what I just read about the new season…the story sounds alot more interesting than last season. Although the love story stuff made me cringe. I’m glad to hear the crew is going to come together and start to get along with one another instead of tearing each other apart and that they finally have a mission other than getting home. I sure wish they had made the show this interesting in season one. Ratings wise, I hope its not too little, too late. Hopefully, the show will be good enough this season to win back some of… Read more »

I’m looking forward to SGU being back on. I was not too crazy about season 1 either, but when Chloe and Rush experenced the aliens, it kinda made it more interesting for me. Like the SG1 & Atlantis. From the trailer this season should be full of action and suspense. Can’t wait for next Tuesday!
Just about everything mentioned and heard here or elsewhere about Season 2 sounds pretty exciting. I wish, however, that somehow Eli and Chloe might have a romance going … but who knows.
I think Stargate is a wonderful show but Universe is just a painful and a depressing show to watch. Sometimes “realism” is best left to the nightly news….bring back Atlantis please..please.
Exciting!!
I always thought Chloe’s knowledge of the alien script may have been knowledge cross-pollination from when they read her mind, similar to Rush knowing something about the blue aliens. Not sure though, I may have that wrong. I CANNOT wait until the 28th!
Wow!! Looks like season 2 is really starting to pick up! It looks like it’s going to have the familiarity that we know from Stargate, but it’s got it’s own flair! Every time I see that trailer I get chills!! I can’t wait for the 28th just 7 more days!!!
Sounds very promising! Looks like Season 2.0 will be miles better than Season 1.0!

Finally! … and it will only have taken them, what, about a year? *laughs* Well, better late than never, I guess.
Also, kudos to Robert C. Cooper for calling it bickering… as opposed to, you know, “gritty, realistic differences of opinion” or “powerstruggle” or something ;o). I’m starting to look forward to S2.
well good trailer look at 0.20 seconds and you see the new alien race also how long until you think some nut job will bring back the replicators as they have beeen in every show so far
Marty, McKay and Woosley make an appearance in the later part of Season 2, so, until MGM starts making more Stargate STV movies, that’s the best we can get right now.
Does Kate Becket know about the “Budding Young Love”?
