I think it was more a hiccup in the flow of time in a single universe. The solar flare interacting with the wormhole created a 12-hour jump back in time, which altered the flow of time that originally led to the hiccup. So, alternate timeline, not alternate universe (because the Earth that "old" Telford returned to and later contacted "younger" Destiny from was the same as it ever was).<br /><br />I believe the <i>Stargate</i> 'verse operates on the "you can change the past" model and not the "whatever happened, happened" model, so time travel wouldn't necessarily result in a parallel universe or timeline, just a changed timeline. But I'm not sure they've been terribly consistent about it over the years.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90928995375022004582011-04-10T17:48:56.797-04:002011-04-10T17:48:56.797-04:00Wouldn't this be time travel AND parallel univ...Wouldn't this be time travel AND parallel universe travel? Because Alt-Rush didn't encounter another Rush that warned him. If Alt-Rush did, then the episode wouldn't have ended the way it ended.

Part of that I suspect is he's hoping to find some way to reunite with his dead wife, perhaps through ascension. I saw Rush 2 sitting in the chair as a possible attempt to perhaps gain ascension, or at least something beyond destiny, while Rush 1 could continue on the mission.<br /><br />Ictus75Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80449610470899403522011-03-20T23:03:56.394-04:002011-03-20T23:03:56.394-04:00"So Telford wearing Rush's clothes was ba..."So Telford wearing Rush's clothes was back on Original Flavor Destiny in Rush's body, staring around the empty gate room in bewilderment."<br /><br />And, amazingly, that makes perfect sense.

Telford was the only one who made it through, and was waiting by the stones to switch places with anyone who tried to make contact. He desperately wanted to know what happened to the others. So Telford wearing Rush's clothes was back on Original Flavor Destiny in Rush's body, staring around the empty gate room in bewilderment.<br /><br />Not a time travel issue at all. Just a flashback + communication stones issue. Darn communication stones. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-47083268564958504452011-03-20T19:55:59.841-04:002011-03-20T19:55:59.841-04:00This might be a stupid question.

And I thought his doppelganger's death in the chair was a very Rush way to choose to go out.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-87906259826727540212011-03-15T21:39:01.267-04:002011-03-15T21:39:01.267-04:00My apologies for the length of this review.

By the time I realized it had gotten insanely long, I ran out of time to edit it down. Hopefully, it isn't too burdensome to slog through!<br /><br />Also wanted to give you all a heads up that the review for next week's episode ('Alliances') will likely be delayed until the following Saturday or Sunday. I'll try very hard to get it up before the next new episode ('Hope') airs!Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.com
