Stargate Universe · Season 1
Uh, what are we so happy about?
We're gonna live, Eli.
What about the turbulence and the heat and the death?
No, all of that would have happened by now. The shield is protecting us.
But you said we were out of power.
I was absolutely certain of that, and I've never been more pleased to be wrong in all my life.
Whoa. Looks like we entered the Hoth system.
The Empire Strikes Back? The second Star Wars movie.
OK, I refuse to call it "Episode Five".
I read about these Chinese miners that survived a cave-in for six days by drinking their urine.
I'm going to go ahead and pretend I didn't hear that.
Yeah. You know what they ate? Coal.
Coal?
Yeah, that's a true story. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was pretty stupid. Almost killed them.
Make no mistake, my first priority is to make sure that we all return to those we love.
Thanks for joining us, Colonel.
Sorry, sir. I wasn't expecting a party.
We may have figured out a way to get you home.
Surprise.
Hi.
Me?
What's your name?
Phil. Can I buy you a drink?
I have one.
Yes, you do. Wanna dance.
Sure.
Oh my God, this is awesome.
You see those two over there? My best friend Celina and my ex-boyfriend.
You could do better. D'you wanna dance?
I think I wanna go over there and punch him in the face.
What .. the ...
I remember as a kid, I was ... I dunno, maybe seven or eight ... my grandfather died and my parents took me to the funeral. Watching his casket getting lowered into the ground, it ... it was the first time that I realized I was gonna die one day. I mean, I knew people died. I'm talking about the idea that my consciousness was gonna end. I wasn't gonna see what happened to the world.
Seeds won't sprout - which really sucks because I would have liked to have started to grow some food. I'm not really much of a fruit and vegetable guy, but anything would be better than the crap that you've been serving us. And there's not enough water, and the beds are rock hard and, oh, don't let me forget to mention that I was shot by one of your people!
So you're doing fine, then?
Eli, do me a favor. Have a look at your chest. Is there any insignia there, anything that says "Lieutenant" or "Sergeant" or anything like that?
All I've got is "You are here."
Are we done?
We'll never be done.
It's been about a week since I ran out of pills. Haven't slept much since. I can't think. Everything's...I don't know. (sighs) These people don't even realize, they're inside a big floating coffin. I wish I could come up with something better to say...I'm sorry.
Two alien encounters in a day. What are the chances of that?
I am thinking likely... zero.
Don't worry. You won't have to stay in here for much longer.
I know. 'Cause the Colonel's going to take back the ship. You don't have any idea what you're up against.
I think we do.
Not a clue. Sorry, but a bunch of civilians up against the Colonel's training and experience?
It's about listening to reason.
Not once you took this ship. That made it war. And that's what we do. It's not going to make life on this ship any easier, and it's not going to make what those aliens did to you any better.
Neither will anything you can possibly say to me.
