Introduction

The first season of Stargate Universe consists of 20 episodes.

Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper wrote the three-parter series opener named “Air”, which was originally planned to be a two-parter.

The first two parts of “Air” premiered on Syfy on 02 October 2009, with regularly weekly airing beginning on 09 October 2009.

“Fire” was originally going to be the title for episode four, but the story and script was too big to be able to fit into one episode, so the producers changed it to become a two-parter called “Darkness” and “Light”, therefore pushing all future episodes forward one slot. “Justice” was the mid-season finale. The back half of the first season aired on Friday 02 April 2010 on Space and Syfy.

Outline

A malfunction with the Ancient communication stones leads Young to discover an alien presence near the Destiny.

When they show up off the bow of the Destiny, everyone but Young is surprised.

They immediately send boarding ships toward Destiny, and begin attacking.

In the skirmish, Chloe is abducted.

Young uses the stones again, gaining control of one of the aliens, finding Rush on board.

Using alien tech, they briefly communicate, before Young is ripped back to his body.

Rush is then left with the alien, suddenly back in its own body.

He gets a flash of thoughts from the alien, learning the layout of the ship and the location of Chloe.

He frees her, and they fly back to Destiny in one of the alien attack vessels.

After arriving back at Destiny, Rush corroborates Young’s story about the rock slide.
