No one called you an idiot.. He was talking about those who made asinine comments on the blog. Your taking this a bit personal. He'll still get paid with or without your loyalty.

He called me an idiot by extension because i share some of the same opinions of the 'idiots' that are being very vocal at the minute of course im going to take it personal, ive spent thousands and thousands on Stargate stuff and i dont appreciate the show creator having a hissy fit because some people dont like his new show. I will spend my thousands and thousands elsewhere from now on and i hope more people do the same.

yeah it does seem kinda funny for them to start calling fans idiots this early in a shows run, that might be a record.

yeah but its the first time I have seen a writer come out on his personal blog and rant but his blog so he's fully entitled to how he thinks.

He's not the creator, it's not his show. He writes on it, and not even all episodes. I guess thousands and thousands of explanations won't make a difference though. So just stop checking the thread. Burn everything Stargate, make your sign and go protest on your lawn. :ike:

I have always been a HUGH Stargate fan from the beginning(starting from the movie of course), but with the Universe series I do not know yet, I am really bored with most of the series so far and really lost some interest. The only episode(s) I enjoyed so far have been the first episode and the one where they had to fly into the run to replenish their energy levels, but other then that last episode I feel asleep a couple of times while watching and really have not found any characters that really stands out for me and keeps my interest. I am still going to give it a chance through the first season and see if it gets better, but if not then this might end up being the last season for me, we shall see..

P.S. Rodney McKay is my all time favorite SG character, without question.

1.07 Earth Press Release

With the situation onboard the Destiny dire, General O'Neill and Home World Command orders Col. Young to execute a high risk plan concocted by the I.O.A. scientists which, in theory, could return the crew to earth. Col. Young tries to buy more time so that he can consult those on the ship whose lives are at stake. While using the communication stones, Camile Wray is approached by I.O.A. representative Dale Strom who suggests that she steer opinion on the ship in favor of the plan.

Eli and Chloe are allowed to use the communication stones to visit Earth and their loved ones for what may be the last time. Their homecoming is not what they expected and the two try to drink away their worries at a club (featuring Janelle Mon?e), but are unable to ignore the looming fate of the Destiny that they have left behind.

Ah the Phillip Fry reference was gold, well that was a far more well paced episode than a few of them, full credit there. I would like to know what the hell telford is doing at the end there, he wouldn't dare...

As for Rush, I know why he did what he did and for the first time at least he was somewhat aligned with Young (he bought them more time) but then young goes right off in to his usual "I don't trust rush" routine.

Kinda freaked me out when Telford showed up at Young's wife's place. Kinda made sense when he had that "look" when they were switching bodies over and over lol Dunno if there's something there or not, gotta wait and see I guess.

I really enjoyed that episode. And WOW talk about awesome weapon system the destiny has! Sweet effects.

Also that last scene with Telford, I wonder now if he has some sorta, grudge against Young, and since he knew that Young was getting intimiate with his wife, in telfords body, that now he is going to take advantage of that and make youngs wife think its actually young. Wow this gets confusing. Hahaha

lol, yeah it is getting pretty confusing, i would think "wtf" when the stones skipped whilst going in and out of FTL.

Gotta say, Eli and Rush are the best 2 characters, Not 100% sure if you can trust Rush though, Think he has more access to more systems than we know of...

they've done a good job of making Telford an *******, I hope they don't take him to that level, that extra step isn't necessary for us to hate him. I also think that it was an invasion of Telford's body and lack of respect for Young to have sex with the woman. For a second I thought that Chloe and Ellie were going to have sex in those bodies they were in too.

The ending was good, but I wish the crew and people would start giving Rush some credit and stop trying to question him at everything, but begging for his help when they need something.

In the previous episodes it seemed like Telford had an issue with Young.

Yeah Rush is turning out to be an alright guy. He's like an older, more arrogant McKay. :p

I agree with you to a point. If Rush is given more credit by people on Destiny, it would be very similar with the way people responded to McKay. While I think some people should cut Rush some slack, I think the new angle is good. :)

Also, how often will they do the "we found a way to get you guys home" angle? On Voyager it happened at least once a season (if not more lol) and it was stupid because everyone knew if they got home the show ended. With Universe, just because they get home doesn't mean the show ends, which is a plus. They could find a way to gate home and send a real crew in season 2 lets say and explore things that way, or a way to send the ship itself back to the Milky Way and explore things that way.

Regardless if they do the "we got a way home" thing every 5 episodes it's going to get dumb and old real quick.

So far, SGU is right on course with Voyager. This episode, Earth, is the 7th episode. (or 6th, depending if you count the first as 1 or 2) In Star Trek Voyager their first "hope" for home was also in the 7th episode (again, or 6th). Eye of the Needle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_the_Ne...rek:_Voyager%29 Where a wormhole is discovered.

So, going by the Voyager timeline, it won't be long before they encounter humans from 1937 brought to a planet by aliens :laugh:

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By sphbecker · Posted

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
