Universe

How about a quick non-political quote. Just finished watching this week's Stargate Universe episode "Greater Good". Approaching the halfway mark in the second season it continues to deliver a solid story. 
It's interesting in that this isn't "clean" sci-fi. Look at all the Star Trek series, clean ships, uniforms, lots of technobabble, and so on, you even had that for the past Stargate series. This is a lot like Battlestar Galactica, they have limited resources, even more than BSG and every episode they live in risk of death, no relaxing on the holodeck here.
