This latest episode of Stargate Universe is entitled "Malice" will air on Tuesday, November 16 at 9/8c only on Syfy.

In this episode, Nicholas Rush goes to check on Dr. Perry in Ginn's quarters.
To his surprise he finds her on the ground and potentially dead. He calls for back-up quickly. Will he and the team be able to help her, or is it too late?

"Malice" is without a doubt an acting tour-de-force for Robert Carlyle. We see a new man at the top of the show, only to see him fall into the depths of despair and sadness the likes of which he probably hasn't experienced since his wife died.

Through that haze, we still see a Nicholas Rush that really has decided to change his ways. There is a scene with Park where he literally has her life in his hands and, when he has a moment to justifiably walk away and let her die, he still blocks everything else out to figure out a way to save her. Rush's final confrontation with Simeon is equally startling and gives us a full measure of the man that is Nicholas Rush.

Continuing literally seconds after the previous episode, we first get treated to the new crew dynamic, that being one of slowly building trust and new-found sense of working together. Rush even agrees to take a couple of hours off and let Brody, Volker and Park take over. The fact that Rush and Young can even talk about it in an agreeable manner is pretty shocking. Of course, all of that is soon overshadowed by a horrific tragedy, one that not only permanently affects two characters, but is an emotional kick in the gut to several regular characters. Rush sets off after Simeon in a vengeance-fuelled rage, but even during the course of that he begins to work together with Scott and understand the need for no more secrets.

Robert Cooper does a yeoman's job in his double duty as writer and director. I suppose it is only right that one of the co-creators should take full reign of such a pivotal episode. He propels our characters forward in their evolution and gives us one hell of a dramatic episode to boot. Cooper ably proves himself a terrific storyteller and disproves any notion that Stargate Universe isn't about compelling characters. My only criticism is that I think the turning point depicted here and last week should have occurred much sooner, possible in the last third of season one. Dramatically, I think it would have been better for the characters and the story if we had seen this sort of coming together of the crew before the Lucian Alliance invaded. That would have upped the stakes even further at the end of season one and made for a much more satisfying resolution going into the sophomore season. Then again, Cooper, Brad Wright, Joe Mallozzi, et al. are responsible for twenty episodes of television a year and I run a two-bit website that gets to criticize what they do. I submit that they are far better qualified to do what they're doing and I am content to get to watch the results.

It's always a big plus when SGU goes off-world, away from the dark claustrophobia of their scarred and superannuated ship and the static of mistrust that still courses between the members of its accidental crew. In this case, "Malice" not only got out of the studio but away from the leaden skies of Vancouver, with extensive location shooting in the sun-baked badlands of New Mexico. Co-creator Robert C. Cooper, here taking up writing and directing duties (as he did with other atmospheric episodes, including the similarly studio-liberated Stargate Atlantis tour de force "Vegas"), makes the most of this excursion to frame this showdown between the bad guy with his titular hostility (Robert Knepper, who as usual makes an outstanding villain) and an enraged Nicholas Rush (Robert Carlyle) as one of a series of turning points for Rush and his relationship with the crew.

If season 1 of Stargate Universe was about survival, season 2 is about Destiny -- the ship, and the fate of those aboard her. A string of revelations, including Rush secretly gaining control of the ship's navigation and his detection of some kind of pattern or message underlying the fabric of the universe, Chloe's unpredictable transformation, and T.J.'s interaction with the benevolent race that may have saved her baby -- all of these things are coming together to push the humans, willingly or not, beyond the role of helpless passengers into the active fulfillment of an ancient mission.

The brilliance of Robert Carlyle's performance lies in his ability to play Rush as both sympathetic and untrustworthy, or at least untrusting, at the same time. Even as he exposes the raw emotions of grief and fury to us and his companions he keeps himself closed at the same time, withholding from us the crucial piece of information we want to know most -- how far we can trust him, and whether he'll be able to work honestly and openly with Young and the others. His very confessions are redacted, holding back even as he opens up. Carlyle has been navigating this minefield for a season and a half now, and his capacity to develop and expand a shuttered and evasive antihero is striking.

Stargate Universe remains darker and less epic, in a way, than either of its predecessor series, both of which started out with potent, galaxy-sized enemies with conflicts that spanned the lives of both shows. With SGU, the stakes are more intimate, bringing the conflict facing this jumbled group, not yet a team, down to the level of a constant thrum in their rapidly mutating lives.
