  1. 1. Who should lead on Destiny?



Recommended Posts

lime absorbs carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate... the fact that lime does this is part of high school level science and important in the 'carbon cycle', it was also explained in the episode for people that weren't already aware ;)

also, if you look on epguides.com you will see in a few episodes time that there is one called 'water', this, coupled with the fact that a number of times the word ration is used in the first three episodes would mean that no, there is not an endless supply.

seriously, next time, watch the show properly, or just not at all :p

Thanks for taking the time to explain that, do yourself a favor and not look like an ******* by attempting to be insulting. ;)

not sure i understand, lol.. the smilies were there as i was attempting NOT to be insulting.. :)

aka tongue in cheek

Edit: maybe you mean that next time i should attempt to be insulting? Is there a comma missing after the ******* perhaps? ;)

Why do people have to call this funny names like Battlestargate: Lost in Deep Space Voyager 9. It's a sci-fi in space. Tons of things have been done already and there may be similar themes in SGU but I don't see any blatant copying going on.

Atlantis had me face palming a lot because they carbon copied many episodes SG-1. So far I am not getting that feeling on SGU but we'll see how that turns out once the first season is done.

because its how you describe and differentiate them.

Stargate: movie

Stargate Sg-1: RDA

Starscape Sg-1: Oh hey farscape cast whats up?

Stargate Atlantis:

Stargate SG-A: Oh hey Sam

Stargate Galactica: oh were on a ship and its dark and gritty

Atleast thats how my friends and I describe them.

Just wanted to come back again and say I like it.

It's turning out to be what I thought it might be and not what I thought it might be. And at this point that isn't a good thing or a bad thing, it just is. And yes I was trying to be contradictory and vague. ;)

I'll definitely keep watching. :)

I like it so far. I think it will get better once the characters are developed more and once they stop running out of **** (aka, air, water, power). I get that its more geared toward character development, but would it hurt to throw a little bit of action in there? Maybe some crazy aliens that we have never seen before?

I hate the fact that for no reason everyone hates rush, and I also hate that Eli complains about everything. I think that Eli will grow to be my fav. character, if they develop him right.

Well I liked this episode personally. Granted they have to pick up off of nothing essentially but I think it'll get even more exciting. ALthough I do agree that Scene with the girl and her mother was indeed terrible.

Yes, that was totally retarded :pinch:

What the hell were they thinking? *Were* they thinking? :rofl:

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.

The flashback stuff really annoys me :crazy:

1. gather unlikely crew: check

2. impress with stargate and cool unknown technology: check

3. travel through stargate to unkown location: check

4. No way back: check

5. limited communication: check

6: food/water/air crisis: check

7: partially solve food/water/air crisis: check

8: lose some people that will later return as enemyallies: check

9: Meet awesome humanoi(cheap makeup) alien that will become part of the exploratory crew: not yet, possibly first sign with the ship that dropped off at the end.

That sounds pretty much like it :laugh:

Eventually we'll get to the point where they get a gate back to earth or atlantis partially working so they can skip back and forth or drop off supplies. but probably not this season. First we have to milk the all alone with no equipment on a broken ship aspect. not like we've seen that before... Then comes the intergalactic super aliens that have been taking potshots at this shops and probably the gate seeders through the milennia. I bet we'll be paying a visit to the first downed gate seeder near the middle or end of this season.

Any bets about what the new super aliens will be? Perhaps the Furbies, err, Furlings that have never showed up so far, that'd be hilarious :rofl:

Its only the third episode! Give it a chance to get its steam up for gods sake...simple fact is; we have NO IDEA how this is going to play out. Sure it has tenants of BSG and Voyager at the moment, but I have a gut feeling that we're going to see a swerve once the show gets into its stride and see something different.

I for one enjoyed the season opener (ie: all three episodes) and am looking forward to how the rest of the series progresses.

atlantis didnt really develope a good story till mid-end season 1

so i imagine this will be the same, just hopefully they dont do what atlantis did, and kick out a main cast member like they did with Dr Wier. The show seemed to start dieing right after that

I am a big fan of stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. This series however ****es me off to much sex / sexual activity in it. Get this **** off my tv. Either someone stops all this **** or the series will fail.

which "mother against random stuff we find unethical because it didn't exist 100 years ago" are you from then ?

Sex? when was there sex in this show ?are you sure you're not talking about dollhouse or something ?

and I doubt you've seen any SG before in that case :p

Don't watch it then? You aren't being forced to watch it are you? The **** on your TV, some people are actually liking.

Theres sex scenes in the very first episode. As for the dont like it dont watch it statements. Why name it stargate if your not gonna stick to the same fanbase, Name it something else there was very minimal sex inclusion in the previous two series. The very first episode of this had 2-3 sex scene flash backs.

    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
    • Millions of users to benefit from Windows 11's new performance boost on Adobe Photoshop by Sayan Sen Despite the advent of AI-generated imagery, Adobe's Photoshop remains one of the most popular tools on this planet. Adobe does not have a publicly reported total user count but it's probably not wrong to assume there are millions. As of 2025, Adobe Creative Cloud has had approximately 41 million paid subscribers, many of whom likely use Photoshop. In addition, more than 166,000 companies worldwide are apparently also using the app. These figures are according to a very recent report by SQ Magazine. Out of them, it is fair to assume that many are probably running Windows. As such, there is good news for these users as Microsoft has announced Photoshop is getting a big 20% performance boost on x86-64 (AMD64) systems and a 13% bump-up on Arm devices. This is definitely great news for them as many have complained about the slow performance and general sluggishness of Photoshop on Windows 11 ever since the advent of the latter back in 2021. If you are wondering how Microsoft managed to do this, the answer lies in a combination of compiler-level optimizations and a technology called Sample Profile Guided Optimization (SPGO). According to Microsoft, Adobe worked closely with the company’s Visual C++ team and adopted the latest MSVC toolchain enhancements together with SPGO to squeeze more performance out of Photoshop’s CPU-bound workloads. Unlike traditional Profile Guided Optimization (PGO), which requires developers to create special instrumented builds and run lengthy training workloads, SPGO gathers performance data directly from optimized release binaries. This means Adobe could collect real-world usage information which gives a major advantage to this technique, as companies could leverage data collected from actual customer workloads rather than only relying on synthetic benchmark runs. In theory, this should allow optimizations to better reflect how users interact with software in the real world. Thanks to this, there are improvements to code layout, function inlining, hot-and-cold code separation, and other low-level tweaks that help processors execute instructions more efficiently. Essentially the compiler is better able to identify “hot” code paths, those which are most frequently executed, and optimize them accordingly.
    • "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year
    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
