Well the first episode was awesome. A bit farscape, a bit Firefly, a bit Andromeda. I like the fact they are all bad-ass criminal murderers and pirates.

 

Why did they not show who Jodelle plays. Nice little mystery there.

 

Hope it doesn't get cancelled too soon.

 

 

Yes interesting the young girl wasn't part of the crew info.. maybe a stow away?  Was surprised when I looked her up on IMDB that she has been in SG-1, Atlantis and Supernatural, all shows I watch... and it was her in that painting from Atlantis someone else posted earlier in the thread :p

farscape wasn't a very serious sci fi show was it? it had some really weird characters and some really stupid ones too. I never felt anything for the characters, also the main baddie was very camp. I hated it when sg1 added the two far scape actors they turned the show into a joke and it was never the same....

 

sg1 seasons 9+ went downhill...the ori weren't menacing at all, the goa'uld were badass.

 

 

p.s. i still watch sg1 & farscape every now an then, just to remember what they were like. They are far from unwatchable but not classic imo.

I thought farscape's characters were its greatest strength, they were great, and Scorpius is one of the best sci-fi villains ever IMO

I didn't mind it, entertaining enough although none of the charm and quality characters of say firefly.

 

Would have been nice if they mixed the characters up a bit. For a seasoned sci fi person tell me you couldn't half guess the characters based on their look and there first moments.  Ah the eccentric kid has visions, oh sorry dreams.  Asian ninja...didn't see that coming.  The gun loving tough guy is an out for himself jerk, thats never been done before.

My thoughts too. It was very predictable and formulaic. Not a patch on what they did with Stargate,,,

It'll still be a good watch, as long as they keep the storyline bloat free, and not load it full of crap like they did to Universe. They pushed it too fast, too hard.

 

Though, I like the story behind it so far, pirates with amnesia, sounds kind of good. It's a flip from Stargate, Good guys vs bad guys, now it's bad guys against good guys.

After episode two I am not sure I want to continue  :/

 

She was cute though :p

 

I agree with you on the cute, I most certainly IMDB'd her.

 

I'm still going to watch though.. it's the off season for most things atm so I have the time.  All I'm watching atm is Defiance, Dark Matter, Halt and Catch Fire, and rewatching X-Files.

Did the Android wear a spacesuit to shield herself from the gamma radiation. She did say she didn't need the oxygen? I love how Zoie Palmer is playing it.

 

Also, great episode. We still don't know who Five is - although wikipedia calls her Das

Yes, really enjoyed season 1.  Very solid start.  I like the slow reveal of their backstories, I like the two chicks, and the Android plays the part well.  I like Roger Cross being a "good guy" unlike Continuum although that season finale raises questions about him!~  This show and Defiance have had really strong seasons.

Yep solid season, was never a doubt in my mind this was getting renewed.

Surprised Killjoys got renewed but good to see SyFy giving shows a chance to find its space legs.

My fav thing about this show is how the Android can go from being Terminator with lighting reflexes to getting taken down by a bullet or a Taser at the most convenient times.

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      Im in Ohio, and my VPN endpoint is in Boston. If that helps, it does happen both on and off the VPN. and again only in Edge.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
