Stargate Universe Episode Guide

0 comments

In 'Stargate Universe' Season1 Episode 18 'Subversion', Dr. Rush is having another disturbing dream. One would wish he would stop doing that, as it only leads to trouble. In this case the trouble


 is suspicion of espionage and skullduggery.

Spoilers surely follow.

Rush, who has used the stones several times to vamp back to Earth, has started to get bleed through memories of apparently Colonel Telford passing intelligence over to a group of shadowy conspirators who want to use alien technology such as the Stargates for nefarious purposes.

So, with the help of General O'Neil and Dr. Jackson, Colonel Young and company decide to set a trap. First, Rush vamps back into Telford's body to try to find out what he has been up to. With Telford in Rush's body, Colonel Young can get all Jack Bauer on him to find out what is going on.

Things go awry of course. Rush, in Telford's body, is captured by the conspirators and is whisked away to an alien planet where a stargate awaits the secret of the ninth chevron. This is a mixed blessing. On the one hand if the stargate can be opened to the one on board Destiny, her intrepid crew could come home. On the other hand, the conspirators would get the Destiny and that is considered a bad thing.

Rush tries to stall, while trying to figure out how to overturn the tables. The conspirators of course having none of that, and even kill one of their own to show how much they mean business.

Meanwhile, Young has Telford locked up and is interrogating him for all that is worth, with Scott and Greer guarding the door to make sure none of the civilian squishes show up to prate about rule of law and due process.

Like Camille, for example, who shows up wondering why Telford is getting the third degree. With her usual lack of tact, Camille reminds Young of what happened the last time she got angry with the way he was running things. As if that was going to motivate Colonel Young to back off and just use the army training manual
