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:

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
