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!

lol

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.

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.
    • As long as i get to play GTA 6 before it ends 😂😂
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
