Episode – Pain
Pain turned out to be a really good episode.
I have to say I’ve been surprised by how much better SGU has turned out since its return after the mid-season break. I don’t know if it was because I had time away and was able to get over my expectations for what kind of show I was looking for in Stargate Universe, or if the show really has improved so much. I tend to think most shows don’t hit their stride until they’ve made it past the middle of their first season, and that would seem to fit in this case, but I’d been spoiled by a few very good shows lately that had a great starting bunch of episodes (such as Warehouse 13, Leverage, V, Chuck, and several others).
As for Pain, the episode touched on deep fears and set up some great storylines for a few of the characters, such as James. I’m enjoying Wray and Rush more than ever, with Rush being a character I am beginning to really love. I also feel closer to a few of the other characters finally.
What did you think of Pain?
