I really like the music in the scene between Scott and Chloe in her quarters.

I was hoping for more action in this one than what we actual saw. Did we even see the dreaded command ship the automated fighters hailed from?
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
I don't think so. Just those little tin frisbees.
Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
Of course there was little action. Its the lead in half of a two-parter, what are you expecting?
Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :
Do we have any idea when the show is coming back? I can't find mention of it anywhere. Or is Syfy trying to kill Universe too?
Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :
The show is supposed to come back in the spring is all I've managed to find out. An announcement on whether or not there will be a season three is due soon. Apparently they have a five year story arc with this show, but can wrap it up in a season if given enough time.

Just what network do they think they've been airing on? "Given enough time"—HAH!
"Spring" means March at the earliest, which means a minimum three-month break. Sure looks like Syfy is trying to kill another show...

A big wait till the conclusion of the story!?! NO!! All I could say at the end of this episode was... "SHIT!" (Like what the hell are they gonna do now, Shit!)
Eli was great in this episode. I reckon Chloe has signalled the other aliens.
I surely hope they aren't trying to kill this show? I really doubt it - it's like the Flagship show of SyFy.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Like that's ever mattered. No I could see them try to off the show because it fails to meet their impossibly high expectations due to the fact that's its situated in an unfair time slot where it can't really be expected to compete with other prime time shows. Make room for some more stupid reality shows where people catch a spot of light on wall or tree and immediately assume that it's an alien or a ghost, or the ghost of an alien.

Let me tell you about this show called Farscape... And this other show called Battlestar Galactica... and a third called Caprica...
Posted by Daniel Butler (Member # 1689) on :
That's it. All the scifi fans need to pool our money and start a goddamn network.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Well Farscape... was a different kettle of fish. Wasn't a sci fi original. Battlestar was split up by Sci Fi but was given it's intended run. What happened to Caprica was SHIT but it did have a slow start, which I think was it's downfall. I mean the show should be able to do what it LIKES but for it to survive, they knew it'd have to pull out the big-guns fast and quick - cement as core fan base and then get all introspective. I think it alienated it's BSG fanbase with the pilot (unfortunately). I liked Caprica and think it's sucks that it's now gone.
I really hope this isn't the case with Universe and I don't think being all cynical about the show and how it could possibly be treated is a very good thing to do about a show that we all (I assume) like!

I don't like it a whole lot really :-/

Do the executives at the network think that? They probably think their flagship show is, like, Ghost Hunters or some shit like that.

I thought the flagship was now the WWF wrestling crap. Or whatever D-movie of the week they paid $100 bucks for.

Those are all by the same studio, aren't they? There was a Cracked article on it. I liked the one with the mammoth or something (or maybe it was a leopard) but I was really stoned at the time.

But Farscape was still Sci Fi's flagship show and quite highly regarded at the time. Also, the first half of the fourth season was screwed up because of network meddling.
As for Galactica, it was supposed to have a fifth season. But the network started waffling and refused to commit to season five before season four aired. Seeing the writing on the wall, Moore and Eick said "fuck it" and squeezed their story into one season and ended the show on their terms. That's why the fourth season was so rushed in some parts.
Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
According to TrekMovie, the decision over whether the show will get the axe won't be until late December or January. Creators saying the story is intended for 5 seasons, but they can rap it up in one season given the chance.
Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :
I saw that headline too. I think it's hilarious because Sci Fi/Syfy has NEVER given a full season's notice before cancellation. Farscape, SG-1, Atlantis, none of them got more than a month or two heads up. And again, see my above comment regarding Galactica.
If Syfy decides to cancel Universe, I doubt there will be enough time to wrap the show up. Because Syfy isn't in the business of making quality science fiction drama; they're just angling for whatever they think gets them the most eyeballs.
