Common Descent, Episode 2.17
This episode had a lot going for it. Plenty of action, some moral dilemma, leaders and followers who actually seemed to care about the hard decisions they would be making.

I really feel like Stargate Universe turned a corner this season, and it’s so sad to realize the show won’t be coming back after these last few episodes have aired. THIS is the program I would have watched from the beginning with enthusiasm and excitement, the show I would have encouraged everyone I know to watch. Common Descent reminded me a lot of the older Stargate SG-1 episodes I’ve always loved.
Common Descent leaves us with many interesting questions that I’m anxious to see explored in the next episode.
I’m actually very excited about the next episode and for SGU, that’s actually a bit different for me. I started out a fan. I went through a tough adjustment period but kept trying to watch. I gave up for a while, but came back, because I truly enjoy the world of Stargate. It’s one of my favorite fictional universes ever created for TV.
I have finally found the truly great things about this show, but it’s too late. If only the writers had been this good at combining the action adventure and character drama back when the series started. We had hints that the show could be great, with episodes like Time in the first season, but it took too long to get there.
Character conflicts and characters flaws do not have to make characters unlikeable, but that was the unfortunate fallout of the writing and editing choices for far too long. Now that the characters have turned a corner and become better than they were, it’s too late for the show.
