Unfortunately, things have a way of getting worse before they get better.<\/p>\n<p>While they play the negotiating game, the two sides must also contend with mysterious events happening aboard the ship. The <em>Destiny<\/em> hasn&#8217;t jumped back into FTL and various systems are operating haphazardly.

On top of that, Chloe is bleeding out from a gunshot wound, and Eli is trying to get them both back to a place on the ship that has replenished air.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll get some of our questions answered tonight, but then, more questions will pop up.

Here are a few highlights:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joseph Mallozzi:<\/strong> &#8220;The second script is a robust 53 pages (52 full) and contains what is, without a doubt, the biggest HOLY #%&#038;@! ending I have ever written. I mean, I knew what was going to happen but, as I was writing toward it and the different pieces of the story were falling into place, I decided to go with a little something different in the lead-up and\u2026well\u2026it\u2019s quite the eyebrow-raiser. Actually, the double eyebrow-raiser. Hell, the truth is, you don\u2019t have enough eyebrows to make it work. Trust me.&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;I wish I could watch the reaction of the cast as they read the scripts. NO ONE IS SAFE!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brian J. Smith:<\/strong> &#8220;Wow &#8211; the finale is &#8211; wow &#8211; jeeze &#8211; did what I think happen just happen? I mean &#8211; how could you . . . ? My head is SPINNING.&#8221; &#8230; &#8220;When I read it I got upset. There&#8217;s something that happens in that last episode that is so upsetting and so cruel and so wrong &#8230; just thinking about it, it gives me goosebumps.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Alaina Huffman:<\/strong> &#8220;Reading the LAST script of the season WOZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A hostage crisis unfolds following an attempt by the Lucian Alliance to seize <em>Destiny<\/em>, which starts to have ship-wide power fluctuations and blackouts due to its proximity to a binary pulsar in the first-season finale.[\/spoiler]<\/p>\n<p>[spoiler intro=&#8221;Official Synopsis&#8221;]<br \/>\nA derailed attempt by the Lucian Alliance to seize control of <em>Destiny<\/em> culminates in hostages and casualties on both sides. With a tense stand off between Col. Young (LOUIS FERREIRA) and his brutal adversary, Commander Kiva (RHONA MITRA) the <em>Destiny<\/em> starts having ship wide power black outs. To make matters worse, Dr. Rush (ROBERT CARLYLE) concludes that these power fluctuations are being caused by deadly bursts of radiation from a binary pulsar that will in a short while cause the shields to fail and kill all aboard the ship.<\/p>\n<p>While the standoff plays out, Eli (DAVID BLUE) helps an injured Chloe (ELYSE LEVESQUE) as they try to make their way back from a remote section of the ship.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagonow.com\/blogs\/show-patrol\/2010\/06\/sneak-peek-at-awesome-season-finale-of-stargate-universe.html\">Chicago Now<\/a>.[\/spoiler]<\/p>\n<p>[spoiler intro=&#8221;Syfy&#8217;s Episode Preview Trailer&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><object width=\"660\" height=\"405\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/QmbQPL5nkTk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6&#038;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/QmbQPL5nkTk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6&#038;border=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"660\" height=\"405\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p>[\/spoiler]<\/p>\n<p>[spoiler intro=&#8221;Syfy&#8217;s Sneak Peek Video Clip&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><object width=\"660\" height=\"405\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/QrbJNk8j-ss&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/QrbJNk8j-ss&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"660\" height=\"405\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p>[\/spoiler]<\/p>\n<p>[spoiler intro=&#8221;Dr. Daniel Jackson&#8217;s Video on the Lucian Alliance&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><object width=\"660\" height=\"405\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/OzmpQS5xrio&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6&#038;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/OzmpQS5xrio&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x2b405b&#038;color2=0x6b8ab6&#038;border=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"660\" height=\"405\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p>You can read more about the <a href=\"\/wiki\/Lucian_Alliance\">Lucian Alliance in our Stargate Wiki<\/a>.[\/spoiler]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stargate Universe Season One finale \u201cIncursion Part 2\u201d, written by Joseph Mallozzi (and Paul Mullie) and directed by Andy Mikita, premieres tonight (June 11) on Syfy at 9 PM ET and on Space at 10 PM ET.
