There's a virtual tour of the gate room on the stargate website.

The symbols on the gate are completely different now.

looks cool, does anyone know when the pilot is supposed to air? I heard October??

if anyone is interested John Scalzi is an award winning Science fiction author that is also the creative consultant for this series. He has written many amazing books most notably the Old Man's War series. you might want to check him out

John Scalzi That is his Website His blog has also won awards and he has two books that are just about the blog.

From what i have hear/seen of the script its going to be rather good. (havent read the whole thread yet) however the Destiny (the ship they are on) is the ship that originally seeded the planets with the stargates its going to be amazing.

actually that sounds amazing! :woot:

they should just call the show Battlestar Universe or something. I mean it is influenced by BSG so much so that if they didn't include the Star Gate in the show you wouldn't know it had anything to do w/ it.

Gahh, I hope not, I don't want it turning into a soap in space. I hated BSG, was like B5, too much talking and not enough action.

Personally, im not that excited about it. It's too distant from the original Stargate premise for my liking. I'll watch it off the net, but I seriously doubt this will go on my DVD shelf, unlike the mega-boxed set of Stargate and (soon to be) Atlantis.

This is true, I've recently started watching SG1 again those were awesome episodes.

Thing is, the producers haven't said they can never go home or they will never make it home again (since they are "stranded" on the Destiny) in fact, they haven't ruled out they could return home before the end of the 1st season! WTF

Plus, if you guys don't know, the first like, 5 out of 8 episodes or so all have storylines taking place back on Earth for christ sake lol

I suppose it might be smart, they may not want to fall into the Stargate Voyager formula :D

Oh and the spinning Stargate? Uh, ok.

Well I don't think they are that worn out on Stargate to go down that route honestly. But I do worry about how they will handle the whole "we can't get home, we aren't the right people for this job" thing. If I recall correctly, only Robert Carlyle's character is the only one with Ancient technology experience. And Lou Diamond Phillips is the only "seasoned" military officer with them. But hey, I could be wrong.

Either way, at least we get cameos from RDA and MS so far :)

I don't know. I enjoyed Atlantis for the most part. They wandered storyline wise quite a bit, not to mention they couldn't figure out if the Wraith were the main enemy of the show or the Replicators for awhile there lol

Regardless, SG-1 suffered because of Atlantis (I think most people would agree with this comment no?) but this time, there is no other TV show on to make Universe suffer writing wise. Though we do have the SG-1 and Atlantis movies, it's not quite the same pressure as writing 26 episodes of TV straight.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
