I want to know what Dr. Weir and her Replicators are doing.

Last episode was alright :)

It looks like... They might be using FRAN (McKay's Friendly Replicator ANdroid) to explore that story.

Also, Picardo has said that Woolsey is going through some changes over the course of this season. It looks like they're turning him into a more likable character. They couldn't have just started him off with a more agreeable attitude, as I doubt the character was originally intended to have this kind of role.

How Fran was totally destroyed with the destruction of the planet?

I do hope to see some super evil Hives from Michael, I mean he can easily take Hive ships and he took an ancient tech jumper, so.... ? hmmmm..

The D. Variations (I won't even attempt to spell that one, damn ship names!) was pretty good. I always love alternative Universe/dimension episodes of any series, especially Stargate and Star Trek.

I wonder who those alien baddies were in the alt. Universe though, when that first one attacked Rodney I swear I thought "Oh look, when did the Borg start invading this Universe also?" heh. What I'd love to see, is that race of aliens, whomever they are, track the Atlantis team back to our Universe, and start some trouble. That would be kick butt.

lol, they were A LOT like the borg.

that episode was quite good. but atlantis is far from sg1 quality. it seems to have loads of individual episodes that sg1 used to have in the early seasons. they're good and all but i would like a bit of story continuation like the later seasons of sg1 seemed like almost all story it was so good.

i hope there is a story..... :s

The last episode was quite interesting (and dramatic). It's nice to see something different this time around. Also, I love episodes that involve alternate realities/universes. It's always so interesting! And to see some new baddies is a welcomed change. I hope they deal with them some more in future episodes. After all they mentioned the alien insignia more than once. I guess that's a hint that we'll see them again.

No comments on last nights episode yet?

I thought it was a rather ingenious way of bringing back that character, but the way it ended - sucked. Not that the ending sucked, but the storyline. I suppose down the road they can revisit it eventually, but eh. Overall though, a rather well done episode, but not the best way to finish the story started in Be All My Sins Remember'd.

Very good episode and it's a shame the story was cut so quickly. It's good to hear there are other technologically advanced races in the Pegasus, and hopefully they'll revisit this storyline again in more detail.

Torri Higginson wouldn't come back for the show, and they did leave a rather nasty cliffhanger for us, with Weir on the bridge of that Aurora class ship.

Had they drawn the story out longer, it would have been harder to justify Weir not returning to her original body.

Still, the ending was quite sad.

The episode was good but it felt incomplete. For instance, what did they do with the newly acquired data? Surely their would've been something in there to catch their eye. After all, the subspace replicators embodied the computer systems of many technologically advanced civilizations. The ending was quite sad though. I really didn't see it coming.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
