  1. 1. Who should lead on Destiny?



Recommended Posts

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.

I suppose you're right. We'll see how it goes.

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

Oh, I definitely didn't know that. I guess I can look forward to season 2 then. Not that this season is good, or bad for that matter. I find it decent and enjoyable.

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.

If you can't see the similarities then maybe you need your eye sight checked? Where to begin? moody characters, dark sets, slow moving, drama, soapy, fast camera panning, zooming in and out of scenes and peoples faces.

The only things universe has in common with stargate is the fact it has a gate and that they are on an ancient ship. (which happens to look like a c*ck.)

btw I'm not a fanboy, I just don't like it when a spin off tries to emulate another show that is not part of the series and seems to forget it's roots. I can handle spin offs from shows like star trek, csi, family guy, ncis as they tried to keep to the same format of the previous shows. Enterprise had more in common with star trek than universe has in common with stargate, and it wasn't a complete letdown from the pilot onwards. The writers managed to kee the drama elements to minimal amounts and didn't overuse them. There was decent story in each episode and all the characters were likeable.

The cast of universe look they have to strain all the time to force out some dialog and the leader greer or whatever his name is always looks like he's going to take a dump or cry. Eli has bad jokes, the women are just there for the eye candy and the tough looking ones will probably get killed off sometime or do something heroic in a cheesy way. Dr.Rush will most likely figure everything out suddenly and save the day.

I really hope they lay of using the communication stones as they serve no purpose other than to see family back home and bore us with some dull scenes, still sg-1 is to blame for introducing those darn things. This probably sounds like a rant but it's how I feel about the show. I hate it when good shows spawn bad spin offs with no characters than can relate to previous series characters in any way. They even have crappy uniforms, not much effort there in the design department.

And I thought I got into detail about shows and movies with my friends. I will believe your last post (needing my eyes checked) if you answer one question, did you watch BSG or do you just think you know what it is. Maybe your right, but I don't see it. Maybe a few similarities in camera work, but even the feel of the look and all that is not the same. I have watched every stargate movie and show, and all BSG stuff. I just don't see it, i do agree this stargate is nothing like the rest of the stargates.

Yup, I've seen various episodes of BSG, I could never get into it though, that's why I'm finding it hard to get into SGU, the two shows are quite similar. I don't like the wobbling camera angles, zooming, over use of drama & whinning characters, hearing the same blah blah at the beginning of each episode, no proper intro, outtro music isn't very epic. These kinds of things I noticed in BSG too. It's like they are trying way too hard to make it exciting with the background music dun dun dun dun, but that's just masking the fact there is no tension....

I can agree on the intro information. Both do that, but if you watch BSG from start to finish. The intro kinda works, cause it recaps, but then also shows whats going to happen this episode, but in a discrete way. Does not work for SGU

I used to hate it when BSG used to show what was coming up in the episode...used to skip at least the first minute on the dvd.

Really? I always found it genius. It showed you, but you still didn't really know what was going to happen. Got you ready for it, excited.

It's not a bad show, but it can't compare to its predecessors at all. I'm still mad Atlantis got canceled with so many loose ends. Huge bonehead move.

Wish that professor dude was dead though. Hate that guy.

There's a professor in stargate universe? :blink:

    • 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

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
