You went on and on about how bad it is and how much money you spent on Stargate merchandise and how they don't deserve your money or rating.. Yet you still watch. Way to stick it to the man!

But im not watching it on tv, my figures dont get added to the tv ratings or the ad revenue....

Even with that known, you've still got to wonder how they got there. Did they gate in earlier undetected somehow via Icarus Base before the big attack on it? Did they hide among the crew until they could get away, likely on the ship that detached earlier in the season? They definitely can't get there on their own with their ships.

If you remember correctly the Icarus Base gate was Out only, Hence why they traveled to Icarus base via ship, not gate.

I still don't get SciFi....er SyFy. They ruined BSG's seasons by doing these 6+ month breaks in between episodes. It's just plain stupid if you ask me. And they wonder why ratings drop season to season for these shows.

You'd think something would register with someone after a while.

Looking at the reports, they'll begin filming the second season before season one comes back from break. Which could be seen as a good thing. Visual Effects definitely need time so we could see a budget increase or at least more exterior/ space/ battle scenes.

I'll be waiting.

I doubt Sky1 will air the episodes before Syfy, I mean CH5 did with Flashforward but that's only because thanksgiving happened.

every year the past 4 or 5 sg1 and sga all got aired on sky1 during the mid season break in the states, jeez, even when sky didnt air them then I was getn downloads from the canadian airing that were going on during mid season US. Sfe to say I don't think any break we get from SGU will be that significant, Praise the Ancients!

I was saying that they were on Icarus Base and used the gate to get to that address before the Icarus team got there. Not that they gated into Icarus.

anyway, I guess Eli is running a hackintosh, great ad for apple that, The greatest hacker/math mind in the world don't think the Apple hardware is worth ****.
All he said roughly was that the ancients ships does not have a copy of iMovie on-board, he never said that he ran it. iMovie is probably one of the most commonly known movie editors around hence why it was said.

As for their chair comments about o'neil: He never actually used the chairs did he? he had the repository of ancients downloaded via those wall mounted thingys, the chair was only used as a defensive weapon when they were getting attacked over Antarctica and O'Neil didn't have the ATA gene, didn't Mitchell power it when they needed it?

No, O'Neill powered the chair. He didn't need the ATA gene therapy because he had the gene (remember he was an "advanced" Human according to the Asguard). Mitchell was piloting the 302's over Antartica and was shot down during that attack by Anubis.

Shut up all you naysayers.

Go on then, entertain me - what would YOU suggest is the best, most awesome way to take the SG franchise then?

I'm waiting to hear how freaking brilliant and amazing and fresh and new your ideas are...

Agreed. Would have been boring to make it just like SG1 and Atlantis. I'm glad they took it the direction they did.

Ripping off BSG is a fresh and new idea? The problem is there spending ages trying to develop characters yet every single one of them could die and I wouldn't care with the exception of Rush, they've dedicated the 1st season to showing us the crew and trying to build character development and I still don' t feel any different towards the characters than when the series first started I feel no sympathy towards them so what was the point in making the first season dedicated to character building when people feel no different now than they did after the first episode? it feels like they've wasted the first few episodes which they should have done everything possible to keep the high number of people who watched the pilot to keep tuning in every week whether thats more action or more exploration or even extending the first episode and showing a few big battles anything to just keep people tuning in, and creating a 5 month break after 10 episodes is just beyond stupid it's almost as if they want it to fail the entire show feels like BSG with no action and no character development, the show has lost over 1 3rd of its viewers it started with 2.3 million and episode 10 had 1.3 million.

It's a bigger risk when shows don't follow the single contained episode formula. They need to have an epic story line to keep people watching otherwise they shed viewers and they don't gain any either becaues there's no buzz to draw in new viewers. The problem is that if they had some big battles people would be crying even louder over what a rip of BSG it is. If they lose the com. stones then it gets called a Voyager rip. The only place they could go is to planets then it also becomes plain old SG-1 again. Sci-fi fans are hard to please...

Whats wrong with ripping off BSG? That was one of the seminal, greatest tv shows ever created - we all loved it, it worked and it was handled well. Common sense says you take what works and use it as an influence!

So by that logic - to those people who say that "SGU RIPS OFF BSG!" what you are really saying is you are ****ed because SGU is on par with a show of the calibre of BSG. While I disagree with that idea since I don't believe we're nowhere near the core of what SGU is going to follow, I do like that the writers of SGU have taken the main ideas of BSG and made it their own show. Nothing wrong with that - and besides, BSG was heavily influenced (because its INFLUENCED not RIPPED OFF we're talking here) by Star Wars, 2001: Space Odyssey, and Blade Runner...did we complain then? Hell no!

I say, sit back and enjoy where SGU is going, because if the producers were to really listen then we'd get a copy of SG1 which quite frankly would be boring as ****.

I'm still waiting for this amazing idea to take the Stargate franchise in btw.

Well, they need to do something, what that something is I'm not sure but at the rate SGU is losing viewers I can't see it been on for much longer.

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
