Today's episode of Stargate Universe is a little different. We have two parallel stories. One, in our usual setting, where Scott has been exposed to a dangerous alien infection, and another, where our characters are oddly living normal lives on Earth. This episode gave the actors a chance to do something very different to their normal roles. It also allows us to really dig deep into Scott's mind, and learn what he's really thinking and feeling about things.
Having looked deeper into it, I find it's cleverly written. Join me as we see what Cloverdale has to offer us.
