"Gauntlet" is the twentieth episode of the second season and series finale of the military science fiction television series Stargate Universe. The episode originally aired on May 9, 2011 on Syfy in the United States. The episode was directed by longtime director and producer of the Stargate franchise Andy Mikita. It was written by executive producers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie.
In this episode, the drones are now monitoring every Stargate from Destiny's position to the edge of the galaxy; instead of just the stars. With their main supply line blocked, the crew manage to destroy a Command Ship to resupply only to take considerable damage in the process. Realizing they cannot continue fighting, Eli (David Blue) comes up with an idea to put Destiny in one continuous FTL jump until they reach the next galaxy. This journey will take at least three years and the crew are to use the stasis chambers aboard to keep themselves alive.
This episode represents the final foray into the Stargate franchise for the foreseeable future.
As Lisa Park is still recovering from T.J.'s treatment to try to restore her vision, Dr. Rush and Eli inform Colonel Young that they have been able to improve Destiny's sensors, but show that Command Ships await them at every Stargate from where they are to the edge of the galaxy, rendering themselves unable to obtain supplies. Young reports this to Colonel Telford on Earth, but unfortunately, the only known Stargate capable of reaching Destiny remains in control of the Langarans who refuse to allow for its use.
