Recap / Stargate Universe S 2 E 17 Common Descent

Go To

The crew find a small outpost of humans when visiting a planet — the descendants of everyone who went through the wormhole in "Twin Destinies". The question of what happened and whether they can afford to help these colonists weighs heavy.


Tropes

  • End of an Era: Meta example. This is the final episode of Stargate written by Universe co-creator and longtime franchise writer/producer Robert C. Cooper. Even if Universe had continued onto Season Three, this still would've been Cooper's swansong (as it had already announced he would be leaving the franchise at the end of Season Two).
  • Shrouded in Myth – one of the colonists' legends is that Rush is a demon who steals souls.
  • Temporal Paradox - The colonists are the descendants of the temporal duplicates of the Destiny crew.
