Darn thing wouldn’t let me vote! Oh well, I didn’t agree with most of the choices anyway.
:P
Thanks for the rewatch guys, I’ll be signing off now, SGU is not my cuppa.
I just can’t agree with best episode.
Great choices, but how did ENEMY AT THE GATE miss being nominated for Best Episode Season Five.
I loved SGU and wish it had fared better, the first season might have spent too much time developing characters, but it was still excellent and that second year … it really started hitting the mark solidly. A series I really miss – but all 3 SG series were good in my opinion. SGU wasn’t given any leeway – and ended with … I’ll watch it again for sure.
I think the final episodes of SGU were some of the best of the entire franchise.
Not a big issue, but the Attero device wasn’t designed to destroy Stargates, as your description makes it sound.
It was designed to stop Wraith from Entering Hyperspace.
Thanks, SilenceOz … I thought that sounded wrong when I quickly wrote it! All fixed.
