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.

    • Glow 26.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      Glow 26.10 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.10 changelog: New Features The bootstrapping algorithm has been completely redesigned. The software can now launch directly without requiring TS Preloader. As part of this change, the startup splash screen displayed during initialization has been removed. In addition, spikes in CPU usage have been eliminated, resulting in a more stable architecture with significantly lower memory consumption. The Microsoft Office detection infrastructure within the Operating System section has been enhanced. Additional detection support has been added for Office C2R (Click-to-Run) installations. Furthermore, the license status evaluation system has been improved, and the priority order has been revised as follows: Licensed > Grace Period > Other (NOTIFICATIONS, EVALUATION, etc.). Glow now includes preliminary support for Wi-Fi 8 technology, allowing more detailed information to be displayed for Wi-Fi 8-compatible network adapters. Glow now provides full support for Bluetooth 6.2. Adapters supporting Bluetooth 6.2 can be analyzed in greater detail and with improved accuracy. The disk distribution view in the Disk section has been modernized, replacing the traditional table layout with a new 2×2 card-based design. The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to v26.7. Thanks to the new custom controls, all Türkaysoft applications now offer a more modern and consistent user interface aligned with Windows 11 design standards. Bug Fixes Potential line-ending handling issues in the Office detection code within the Operating System section have been resolved. Additionally, the output format has been standardized to UTF-8 to prevent character encoding issues and ensure consistent data processing. Several stability and file management issues within the Debugging infrastructure have been addressed. Problems that prevented new log files from being created after Debugging was disabled, as well as issues causing debug records to be lost, have been fixed. File deletion and reaccess issues that occurred after file locks were released have also been resolved. In addition, a bug that caused newly recreated log files to remain locked after deletion has been eliminated. Unnecessary blank lines within debug logs and the extra empty line that could appear at the end of log files have also been corrected. A shortcut key conflict caused by assigning identical hotkeys to both the DNS Test Tool and the Donation page has been fixed. The DNS Test Tool can now be accessed using CTRL + Shift + D, while the Donation page is available via CTRL + Alt + D. Changes The service responsible for providing the Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider information in the Network section has been updated to use the ipinfo.io infrastructure. This change improves the accuracy and consistency of the displayed data. (No external requests are made while Hiding Mode is enabled.) Some terms in the Dutch and Korean language files have been updated to make them clearer and more user-friendly. [TS Updater] Before the update process begins, users are now prompted to choose whether they would like to view the release notes. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error. Download: Glow 26.10 | 1.8 MB (Open Source) Links: Glow Homepage | Screenshot | Github Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
