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:

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
