- Now firmly in control again, Col. Young and the other military personnel try to find a way to live with the civilians who tried to take control of the ship. When the Destiny prematurely comes out of hyper-space due to a computer glitch, they find both a sun and an Earth-like planet that should not be there. Rush concludes that the entire system was created by an alien race that is far beyond their imaginations. With the ship malfunctioning and a month's worth of repairs before it can jump again, several of the military and civilians decide to spend time on the planet. Hard feelings from the mutiny persist and it's an opportunity for everyone to mend fences. When the time comes to return to the Destiny, several of them decide they want to stay on the planet. Young is prepared to let them stay, but he imposes severe conditions.—garykmcd
- "Faith" moves SGU away from the dark themes of the other episodes to a more upbeat theme of whether there is "Someone" out there watching over them, or whether it is just chance that good or bad things happen. The crew receives some R and R, a much needed change of pace when the Destiny drops out of FTL (faster than light speed) at a point where there is no record of a solar system. However, there is a 200 million year old sun and a verdant lush planet, similar to earth. With a sun that young, the planet should have been a molten mess. It appears it was terra formed. Many believe that it is evidence that there are beneficent aliens who are watching over them. The terra formed planet provided for them, just when they needed it, seems too coincidental to be chance (for many). With a chance for some clean air, sun, fragrant meadows, the replenishment of their food and plantings for medicinal reasons, its allure makes many of the away team say they would rather stay on the planet than return to Destiny. TJ (Alaina Huffman) is included in those wanting to stay behind on the planet, as she reveals that she is pregnant and doesn't want to give birth or raise a child on the Destiny. Lt. Scott (Brian J. Smith) guesses the father is Col. Young (Justin Long) and Chloe becomes her supporter when she finds out. Young and Rush (Robert Carlyle) join forces in insisting that everyone return to the ship. The lines are blurring with sides no longer being military, scientist and civilian. The planet seems deserted until they find an obelisk (extraordinarilly tall) that sends a radiation beam into space. It points to intelligent design and the presence of someone living there before they showed up. Nothing was found to clear up who it would be.
