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.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
