Nice review of Season 2's opener "Intervention"
With season 2, Stargate Universe is finally unafraid to “go there”
Last season of Stargate Universe left us wanting. We wanted more risks, character growth, and Young. Thankfully, the second season opener seems to have raised the bar for SGU: it’s finally delivering (some) of the gritty space opera it promised.
“Intervention” started right where SGU left off; Telford, Kiva, Chloe and TJ have all been shot, Scott and Greer are stuck outside on the ship desperately trying to hide from the radiation rays, and Young and his military men are being held at gun point. It’s still bloody chaos aboard Destiny. Which is perfect, as it matches the rapid pace which ended this series last season.
Sadly, many of the life-threatening situations that the SGU characters face are quickly solved in a manner of minutes. Frustrating? You betcha. This has been a stumbling block for this series from the get-go. Just once I’d love to see a character face a lethal dilemma for more a quarter of an episode. Scott and Greer found a loophole shady spot on the Destiny, that protected them from getting fried. Chloe is miraculously healed (more on that later), and Young is no longer facing the barrel of a gun. Ba boom. Done. Moving forward. Thankfully, this is just one of two issues we had with this entire episode.
All in all, though, I enjoyed the hell out of “Intervention.”
