  1. 1. Who should lead on Destiny?



Recommended Posts

You have never seen the Atlantis series?

But I Enjoyed it. Im really looking forward to it, I really hope they explore more about the ancients, their technology, more origins of the stargate etc. Something that Atlantis let me down, considering that show took place on THE city of the ancients..

Why don't you just get it another way or rent it, it's quite an awesome show.

Isn't there like 4 or 5 seasons and then movies I mean I could do that in the downtime next summer during tv hiatus :p

Just pretend you don't have school or work or anything lol I am just saying, its worth your time. Atlantis was awesome, so was SG1. Hard to not ever watch it.

Not bad, better than I expected but I've seen similar episodes in Atlantis several times. Hopefully they mix it up a little more. I really like the new way of travelling, looks way cooler than hyperspace. And a no show for the wormhole, I miss that :(

The ship looks quite badass and Daniel's videos were great :laugh:

I enjoyed it!

The show felt different to SG1 and SGA - much darker and more suspense. I'm guessing Destiny is older than Atlantis? It was unkempt and didn't feature the nice architecture or "prettiness" about it that Atlantis had.

I remember the writers said many characters would be killed off during the first season, so it will be interesting to see who stays. I'm not very fond of Eli but anyone would be better than that know-it-all Rodney McKay.

Looking forward to next few eps. :)

I just finished watching the SG:U premiere...

I went in expecting it to be fairly ordinary. I came out with my expectations met. Double thumbs down (so far), i'm afraid.

Heck, even the cameos from SG1 were poor. They really didn't look like they put their back into it!

Who knows, it might improve, but this hasn't been on my "to buy" list, and at the moment, it's not going to be.

Now, where are those SG1/Atlantis movies??? :D

I actually thought the cameo's were perfectly fine. They were there to remind us it takes place in the same universe (lol) but not overbearing to make it scream to us that this is Stargate. They gave it a nice push out and then the show took on its own character.

The idea of those stones and only having 5 (now 4) to communicate with Earth (if Rush is to be believed) is interesting.

But wasn't "Air" a 3-parter? Assume the "finale" to the premier is on next week...

Yeah rather then a 3 hour premiere the last part is next week

it sets up the stage for what is next to come ... it is interesting how they incorporated things from sg1 (like the communication stones) and i would assume there will be other things too they'll have to revisit. It seems to be a combination of startrek,battlestar and stargate :) ...

Note? .. so once a stone is used it cannot be reused by someone else? at all?

Rodney McKay was one of the best characters.

I noticed it looked quite familiar, but why tear it down? :(

Budget most likely. They can't keep the original SGC set on one lot while maintaining the SGU set on another lot. They cannibalized a lot from the old set also. And I don't believe the production studio owns the lot either so they'd be paying just to keep it in storage.

When they make another movie they'll have to decide whether to rebuild the original SGC or write in the new one. I sure hope they make another movie. MGM is definitely going through a rough patch. :(

Really enjoyed it and even got the girlfriend to watch it all, shockingly she really liked it too :D

Cant wait for the next episode :)

Yea, the girlfriend also watched it with me, she seemed to enjoy it, and I quite enjoyed it myself.

oh and thank the writers the senator guy went and died, I wouldn't have been able to stand a show with him in it(the actor, and the character he plays wich is identical to every other role he has ever played).

Haha, just after he died I turned to the girlfriend and said "thank god he died, he would have been one of those really annoying characters you can't wait to get rid of", lol.

It felt too much like Voyager with a coat of Stargate painted on it. Definitely one I won't be watching again.

I thought it was going to be like Voyager when they first announced it, but I didn't think it felt anything like Voyager at all.

Rodney McKay was one of the best characters.

Hell yes he was. I loved him. Sure his attitude was a little obnoxious but he was hilarious. I'll really miss him. Next to O'Neill he was one of my favourites. Always a good laugh.

Can't remember how they disconnected them in the original but I'm sure they can, plus they have 5 if I remember correctly. It was a good idea to include, considering how far away they are it will help them tie in the old with the new without everyone getting ****ed off :) I'm guessing thats how some of the old cast get bigger cameos in the future?

The stones are reusable. They play an important (very important) part of the series btw. I mean, the 4th or 5th episode is called "Earth" lol

BTW! Anyone else freak out when the gliders and other Gouald ships were attacking the base? I mean, man I missed those sweet thingies. I bet that was that alliance of thieves or whatever they are attacking them. It certainly wasn't Ba'al or another worm head.

Also, the music for this episode (and the show as a whole I assume) is just plain awesome. Joel Goldsmith did an amazing job with the music. It FELT like Stargate, but newer. It even had a BSG and Trek feel to it kinda.

I dunno about this. The trailer looked really awesome and i was gagging to see this but i watched it and felt some what lost in it.. wasn't really all i thought it be. Maybe i should watch another episode just to make sure..

And here is a question: Why would an ancient ship without a crew would be wasting resources on life support through out all its journey? It only needs to turn on life support whenever there is someone on the ship.

I thought thats what happened. Life support turned on for them but it didn't work right because the oxygen thingies were all gunked up from not being used.

I liked these first episodes... the show has promise.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
