Is it just me or do the gates look smaller now?

and wtf was that thing that came off the ship?

Yes they look smaller, noticed that to, they are older gates afterall

this was posted on another forum, thought it fit about the ship flying off at the end, thought it was funny cause it will prob happen.

Anyway, the ship flying off shows they're not alone on the ship and someone else knows what they're doing/how to use stuff. I bet that person will help them fix the power and show them basic repairs, but not after a long cat & mouse game of trying to capture them. Insert the "outsider" who will later be added to the team that goes off on missions...

The gates are newer, not older. That wouldn't make any sense.

How do you figure? These stargates should be older than the ones in the milky way and peagus galaxies. Definately the peagus at least since they don't rotate while these gates do. Dr. Rush said he believed that the Ancients sent seed ships ahead of this ship, since this ship is a few hundred thousand years old that would imply the gates along the ships path being older than the ship itself.

Overall i thought the episode was pretty boring. The only thing it did was confirm to me at least that somebody was watching them in the last episode. On a side note, I hope that solider and scientist that were trapped together on that planet have alot of "fun" :hump: since they are going to be there forever lol.

That makes sense. That's the format they've followed in previous Stargate series.

I'll keep watching because they seem to want to actually develop characters over time but I haven't seen anything I didn't expect yet. Just finished watching episode 3 and I'm not sure what I really took away from it except for the last 5 seconds of the show.

One problem, did they address what happened to the women and the soldier who went through the gate to the locked out planet? If they did I must of missed it somehow.

No. Eli tried to contact them using the radio but got no response. It's reasonable to assume they're now stranded on that planet.

probably dead from toxic atmosphere.

they said the planet had vegatation and what not before they went, so i would assume they have a good atmosphere, just probably not food or what they need to last for very long. I'll be glad when the flashback nonsense stop and they can get to a proper form of storytelling.

Vegetation does not equal breathable human atmosphere.

There are creatures living next to volcanic vents on the bottom of our own ocean, who don't even require sunlight but to an alternative form of photosynthesis from the hot gases.

though it's probably more likely that they'll be taken over by some form of symbiotic creature that will either take over their bodies or transform them. and then they'll become allies/enemies depending on mood with the people on the ship. seems to be the usual way things work out in the Stargate shows. and so far it's following a familier script we've already seen in the previous shows.

how many times can you really do the same show with minor script changes and different locations.

Their wormhole passed through a spatial anomaly sending them back hundreds of millions of years. They spawned a new civilization on some distant planet which would become the ancestors to the ones we know as the ancients.

This will probably never happen. :p

Well Universe premiered here in Australia the other day, haven't decided if I like it or not yet. It is interesting (and different) so I'll keep watching it and see how it goes, but I'll give it a chance as I hated Atlantis when it first started and it took me some time to warm up to it (as I love it as much as SG-1 now :) )

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
