How lost would I be if I have never seen any other Stargate film/tv show and started watching this?

After the first episode, you could have watched nothing and still pretty much been on par with anyone who's watched it all. They don't make many or any references to the previous shows aside from cameos on the first episode. That said, you should watch them anyways since they're very enjoyable.

Yea this show isn't like the others so you don't really need any background knowledge. A quick catchup, Stargate = Portals to other planets/galaxies/ships, whatever. In the older shows it was used regularly. However in his show its used very rarely. Its more or less a Space Drama in the Stargate Universe. With any luck they will spice it up with some action but after watching TSCC (Terminator) and Dollhouse, I've learned to accept the Sci-Fi Drama ;)

I remember SG-1 perhaps, I watched part of one episode a few years ago. All they did was go between Stargates for like 20 minutes. I turned it off.

How is Robert Carlyle in this? :D I love that guy.

he is awesome :D

Stargate writer and consulting producer for SGU Joseph Mallozzi took to his blog asking the Gaters for input while he's scribbling away on the new season. Here's your chance to tell them to throw the stones out the airlock.

Mallozzi's blog asked his readers 5 questions about the NEW SGU series. Remember we still haven't seen the second half of season one. But that shouldn't stop you from voicing your opinion about the crew aboard the Destiny.

So, as we prep for the show's second season ? and keeping in mind you haven't seen the more action-oriented back half of season one ? I'd like to know:

1. Which character would you like to see explored more?

2. What aspect of the show would you like to see exploited more?

3. What aspect of the show would prefer to see minimized?

4. What was your favorite "story moment" from the first half of SGU's first season?

5. What element (I'm leaving this one wide open) would you like to see added to the series as a whole?

Is SGU coming back earlier on Sky 1 or will they be sticking with the SyFy on this one?

The first 10 episodes were awesome. Why do you think it was such a ratings success? Any dissent is coming from a very vocal minority.

Yea to those who like drama only and crappy soap moments.

Stargate was awesome

SG-1 was awesome

Atlantis was awesome

Universe is okish but certainly not awesome. It's only a ratings success because they made it in the style of BSG so that when that ended the fans migrated from that show to Universe.

SG-U is rather good, However just as the writers have stated, It will get much better once they introduce the alien races and friendships. They are currently just trying to do introductions with characters themes, and attitudes that they have not had much time to throw in much story like they have done in the past with SG-1 and Atlantis.

I hope your right, I really do. I want to love this show.

I am a big BSG fan, have the full DVD collection, the full Blu-ray Collection...some figures and all that. Universe is nothing like BSG. I think Universe is on par with the other Stargate shows, which is my number 2 shows. Yes there needs to be some work done, and get some more story's going, but it's still awesome.

You guys gotta remember that they had already finished filming every episode of the 1st season before they even aired a single episode. So the writers and producers couldn't take fan comments and backlash into consideration for the 1st season really at all. The 2nd season should be much better imo since they already know what people don't want to see anymore on a Stargate show (sex scenes) and what they want to see more of (aliens etc) and all that good stuff.

Plus, the back half of the 1st season is supposedly much better anyways, and has more action etc :)

    • 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
