All are paying the ultimate price of decent people pushed to the brink, guilt for what they have done and damage to the symbiotic relationships they have.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - One bad boy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12061\" title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - One bad boy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGU-S1x13-Faith-One-bad-boy.jpg\" alt=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - One bad boy\" width=\"576\" height=\"276\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Another bad boy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12062\" title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Another bad boy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGU-S1x13-Faith-Another-bad-boy.jpg\" alt=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Another bad boy\" width=\"576\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Much as in real life when people do wrong things to further their own ambitions, some do so deliberately without assessing the damage they could inflict and seek to lay blame on others for their own shortcomings. People in life, even adults who should know better let their emotions carry them away often without regard to promises they have made to others and themselves. We witness this factor precisely as the Single Effect of the episode that is inherent in \u201cFaith\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">As the episode continues the Destiny comes out of FTL and the crew is expecting a planet that Destiny is typically seeking for supplies and a sun to fuel up the power reserves drained by the recent battles. However there is no planet and the sun is a yellow dwarf that Dr. Rush discovers disrupted the course of Destiny due to its extreme gravity well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">When they arrive in what appears to be a void of stars, suddenly a star appears and so does a planet with what appears to be perfect Class M conditions! Moreover, the clock on the Destiny is not set to the expected limited time frame, but instead for over a month!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Further investigation reveals that the planet is real, but the planet is too young not matching the age of the yellow dwarf sun. This additional time is a nice departure from the pressure filled stops in other solar systems representing an opportunity to obtain a substantial amount of food, water and medicinal herbs needed by TJ.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The crew is taken by the wonder of creation after the disaster of conflict internally aboard Destiny and externally from the evil aliens seeking to obtain the secrets of Destiny seen by their attacks on Destiny in \u201cSpace\u201d. Delving in another aspect of \u201cfaith\u201d several think a divine entity is responsible. Others think that an advanced (new) race of aliens may be playing a role with benevolent intentions that could possibly help the crew return home to Earth. Others think it is just the way life happens.

As I stated on Twitter, while watching the SyFy East feed on Comcast cable, this episode of Stargate Universe will blow the minds of all who love Stargate!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Who or what is responsible for the miracle of creation that they are on the doorstep of?

When we say young, we mean only about 100 million years or so! After landing on the planet for the month long stay, we see a near altercation break out between a civilian and a lower grade military person break out reflecting the tension that remains from the past two episodes.

We see Jamil Walker Smith\u2019s character really coming into his own in \u201cFaith\u201d. He tells Lt.

MingNa expresses concern on whether or not Dr. Rush has made an error in his calculations. This is a reference to Dr. Rush\u2019s lack of disclosure to her during \u201cSpace\u201d. It is a most believable sequence and when TJ does a double take about Camile\u2019s change of heart, it simply and more than adequately display something we all have, human doubt. Either way we know that the so called hard hearted Camile does have a conscience and is trying to mend fences herself. Naturally TJ with her high level of compassion absorbs the inputs, filing it away for future reference.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - TJ double take\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12072\" title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - TJ double take\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGU-S1x13-Faith-TJ-double-take.jpg\" alt=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - TJ double take\" width=\"576\" height=\"285\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">During the episode we also see more of Dale Volker (<a title=\"Click to visit and follow to Patrick Gilmore on Twitter!\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/PatrickGilmore\" target=\"_blank\">Patrick Gilmore<\/a>).

Young has learned from his mistakes and has decided to develop \u201cnew bridges\u201d to the civilians, most of them at least as Dr Rush is still distant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - TJ is pregnant\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12088\" title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - TJ is pregnant\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGU-S1x13-Faith-TJ-is-preganat.jpg\" alt=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - TJ is pregnant\" width=\"576\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Then we learn something we have all suspected, TJ is pregnant and from an affair with Col. Young her former lover alluded to earlier in the series. However, as Chloe \/ Elyse is about to inform Lt. Scott TJ admits the facts to Lt. Scott. TJ and many on the surface including Lt. Scott, 11 in all have decided to stay on the planet and live a new life . Col. Young will have nothing to do with losing his military personal and puts his contingency plan into action.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Taking the not quite repaired second shuttle to the surface he issues an ultimatum using a \u201ccarrot and a stick\u201d. Those that desire to stay can do so, but the military people must return under his direct orders. Either get on board the good shuttle to return to Destiny or he will take them all back at gunpoint.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Col Youngs ultimatum\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12091\" title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Col Youngs ultimatum\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGU-S1x13-Faith-Col-Youngs-ultimatum.jpg\" alt=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Col Youngs ultimatum\" width=\"576\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Not surprisingly Sgt. Greer (<a title=\"Click to learn more about Jamil Walker Smith on IMDB!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0808607\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jamil Walker Smith<\/a>) is the very first to follow orders. Greer is an absolutely loyal character to Col. Young as we have witnessed previously. We observe Lt. Scott is struggling with the situation, but his good common sense takes over. By the way, Brian J. Smith delivered an eloquent performance that is wonderful to behold. Way to go Brian! What is not clear from the ending sequence is if Dr Caine or others remained on the planet. I suspect the answer is yes and we will see and interaction from this in the future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Carving chess pieces\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12092\" title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Carving chess pieces\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGU-S1x13-Faith-Chess-pieces.jpg\" alt=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Carving chess pieces\" width=\"573\" height=\"374\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Lastly, the scene with Dr. Rush carving chess pieces when Col. Young visits him are very nice. Attempting to break the impasse between them, Col. Young states that he enjoys playing chess. Rather an ironic metaphor since the two of them have been playing chess in real life with the fate of real people at stake. I am hopeful they will take this opportunity to move the \u201cpieces of their problems\u201d and their aggression to the board rather than at the expense of of everyone aboard Destiny.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Feasting\" href=\"http:\/\/www.syfy.com\/universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12093\" title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Feasting\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wormholeriders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/SGU-S1x13-Faith-Feasting.jpg\" alt=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Feasting\" width=\"576\" height=\"284\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><a title=\"SGU S1x13 Faith - Lt.

The song is called &#8216;<strong>All My Days<\/strong>&#8216; by <strong>Alexi Murdoch<\/strong> which played while the crew feasted from the spoils on the planet. The use was absolutely brilliant. We hear this wonderful piece several times throughout and as the montage draws \u201cFaith\u201d to a close. The continued use of music in Stargate Universe is simply wonderful. Keep it up MGM<strong> <\/strong>and \u201cThe Bridge\u201d teams!
