COOLEST TECHNOLOGY

Destiny

What better technology is there in the show’s first season than Destiny herself? The ship was launched eons ago by the Ancients, equipped with shields, weapons, a faster-than-light drive … and far more secrets than could be explored in a mere 40 episodes.

From: “Air, Part 1”

64% of the vote

BEST ADVERSARY

Blue Aliens

By far the show’s best antagonist in the first season was an advanced race of non-humanoid aliens, who have been tracking Destiny and will stop at nothing to gain access to the ship and its weapons. The aliens held Chloe and Rush captive, and may have left one of them irrevocably altered …

From: “Space”

48% of the vote

BEST STARGATE CROSSOVER

Richard Dean Anderson
as Jack O’Neill

Now in charge of Homeworld Command, General O’Neill served as the team’s point of contact whenever they used the communication stones to contact Earth. And when Colonel Telford was found to be a spy for the Lucian Alliance, O’Neill visited Destiny (via the stones) and personally authorized a dangerous interrogation.

From: “Subversion”

48% of the vote

BEST GUEST STAR

Kathleen Munroe
as Amanda Perry

A personal friend from Nicholas Rush’s past, Dr. Perry is a brilliant scientist and an expert on alien propulsion systems. Her out-of-body visit to Destiny via the stones (to repair the F.T.L. drive) gave the quadriplegic woman a chance to experience the world like never before.

From: “Sabotage”

32% of the vote

BEST EPISODE (Season One)

Time

A classic sci-fi story with an SGU twist, “Time” found the new crew of Destiny discovering one of their own kinos with footage of a mission they haven’t been on — including their own gruesome deaths. Only a risky op and another attempt to reset the timeline can save them all.

  • I'm amazed by the results of this vote. So shocked that the best Eli moment was the one where he caries Chloe around the ship. I thought that was one of the lowest points for Eli. The fact that the moment where he figures out how to dial the 9th Chevron is not the winner by a landslide amazes me. I think that was one of the best moments of the ENTIRE series.

    The best Rush moment was from the episode Human. The entire episode was a soap opera. So over-dramatic and sappy.

    Also how Subversion didn't win best episode and Kiva didn't win best adversary I will never understand.

  • TW, that over dramatic and sappy stuff belongs on soap operas and shows like Gray's Anatomy, soap operas and pretty much anything on the CW. It's even fine in small amounts to help develop the characters but when a show is suppose to be sci-fi and it ends up being 90% over-dramatic it's too much.
