Introduction

The second and final season of Stargate Universe was announced by Syfy on 13 December 2009.

Like the first season, the second season consisted of 20 episodes.

The series was moved from the franchise’s long history of Friday to Tuesday, along with Caprica, as Syfy had picked up WWE Friday Night SmackDown.

The series resumed on 28 September 2010, USA. In Ireland & UK, the series resumed on 05 October at 9pm on Sky1 and Sky1 HD.

Syfy announced on 16 December 2010 that it would not be picking Stargate Universe up for a third season and that the Spring 2011 season would be the last to air on its channel.

Outline

Rush and Young investigate an abandoned alien craft adrift just outside Destiny, accidentally activating its engines.

Ginn travels to earth while Dr. Perry comes aboard via the Ancient communication stones to assist with Rush’s “manoeuvring calculations”.

After she follows Rush’s coded instructions to the bridge, Eli, Volker, and Brody follow.

While Young and Rush awkwardly await rescue, Rush tells Young the Destiny’s mission is actually to explore an anomaly in the background radiation of the universe and asks for his help to complete the mission.

Simeon escapes from his guard and is seen menacing Dr. Perry in Ginn’s body.
