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.
