Star Gate Universe - ep 8

Lather rinse repeat. There's way too much high octane emotional scenery chewing for way too little payoff.

I realized last week that at the end of the episode, after I've spent 8 hours (ish, never forget the commercials) with these people, that when someone was injured to the point we don't know whether they are going to live or die - I didn't know who they were.
