Here's a bonus episode for you. While I've been a life-long fan of DC Comics characters such as Superman and Batman, I've never really been a comic reader. But that is changing thanks to DC Universe Infinite. I talk about the service, and my experience trying to break into the complex world that is DC Comics. I also share some mini reviews of:
* Superman Secret Origin
* Superman: Last Son
* Batrman Year 1
* The Flash: Born to Run

When Rush and Young get stuck on a derelict alien spaceship, Rush is unable to keep hiding his secrets. Not only to the crew discover Destiny's bridge, but Rush reveals the greatest secret of all - the reason the ancients constructed and launched Destiny in the first place!

"Trial and Error" is a perfect example of why Stargate Universe is so good. This is a beautiful character piece. It shows us the strain that leaders often go through. In this episode, Colonel Young must confront his own weaknesses and flaws, and the pain of the burdens he has been forced to carry since arriving on Destiny. It's fantastic television. Plus, on a lighter note, Eli and Gin meet for the first time, and their romance begins to blossom.

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.

In this podcast, we delve deep and see what gems we can mine out of this amazing movie.
