CINEMA SPY: 'Stargate Universe' Delivers Action and Humor in Season 2.5 Premiere
Deliverance' is old school space opera with an 'SGU' flavor

Stargate Universe makes it's bittersweet return to Syfy in the US and SPACE Channel in Canada this week and it comes back with a bang. Several bangs in fact.
Like 'Space,' the corresponding episode at the start of Season 1.5, 'Deliverance' dispenses with much of the re-envisioning that has separated SGU from its predecessors in the franchise. Instead, it delivers in abundance that most populist expression of the space opera genre: the space battle. It's not Stargate Universe at its best, but it's an entertaining hour that marks a welcome return for one of the best sci-fi shows on television.
When we last saw Destiny and her de facto crew a few weeks before Christmas they were overwhelmed by hostile alien drones with failing shields and nowhere to run. At the end of that episode, 'Resurgence,' the fate of the ship and the show were unclear.
'Deliverance' picks up right where that cliffhanger left off...
Stargate Universe season 2.5 premieres on Syfy on Monday,March 7, at 10/9c and returns to SPACE on Tuesday, March 8, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
