Those sure ?look Humanoid to me, didn't they say they weren't going to have Humanoid aliens until the 2nd season or something? :|

Still, can't wait already!

I believe what they said was this show won't have any humanoid aliens in the sense that there won't be any aliens that are just actors with prosthetics.

Rush is a lying bum! The aliens clearly have a way past Destinys defenses. I didn't expect the Rush storyline to be wrapped up so soon though. Chloe getting captured was way too predictable with that whole damsel in distress thing. I'm glad it was resolved quickly. The last thing we need is another weak ass villain (*coughAtlantiscough*) who's a former crew coming back for revenge in hybrid alien form.

Best line of the episode:

"Report!"

"Bad and more bad"

First episode I watched

Intriguing, but human politics / stupidity is boring. Oh, but they're the ones with the guns. blah blah blah, **** you

Boring as in... I've seen it enough times

The fighting and aliens were interesting, would've been more interesting if the "for the sake of the crew" was actually a uniting factor. Silly humans

Then again, I've only watched one episode, but I don't like the human business as I said... Liked Stargate SG-1 because it was all military, so there wasn't a huge amount of time spent wasted on that. Although later seasons did have that stupid unit of government whatever

Wow! It's about time eh? By far the best episode. The whole thing with the communication stones caught me by surprise. I never thought it was compatible with aliens. Makes you wonder why something like that never happened in Stargate SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis.

Because it was never in the script until now, obviously :p

I know that. And I just remembered why something like that never happened in SG-1 or Atlantis. The communication stones need to be initialized by someone with an Ancient gene. Aliens, like the Goa'uld and Asgard, don't have the gene and can't use it without the help of a human (with the gene). I wonder how the aliens in the last episode were able initialize it.

Anyway, I can't wait to see Julie McNiven. She's a beauty! :blush:

Yeah I was thinking along the same lines. How were they able to project into the aliens minds without the aliens not having the stones? My guess is that the stones have that ability for a limited range and it was tapped into by whatever that dude's name is by accident. It's a different spin off the the old concept. This show will have to do stuff like that to be successful instead of rehashishing previous plot lines. Look at the Stark Trek series, they rehashed similiar plot lines. A little is OK, but do something different with it.

It kinda goes along with what Rush was saying. If you remember, heck if I remember correctly... Rush said something about the aliens wanting Destiny and her secrets. Maybe what he meant to say was that they want Ancient technology. Perhaps what they did with the communication stones was activate some hidden function or "alien mode" that allows the stones to be used between two highly different species. Or maybe they reverse engineered it and created their own version. In any case, the aliens we saw in the previous episode seem to know a bit more about Ancient technology than the people aboard Destiny. They were able to send a communication back that was translate to English (or Ancient, if Destiny auto-translated it to English). Also, they were able to bypass Destiny's shields. Of course, that could be intentional to allow shuttles and whatnot to pass through the shields without any problems.

But they had Rush, and they have some kind of telepathic devices. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to say that they could have used the neural interface to do the translation.

I was referring to the "Surrender" message. Eli sent a greeting message to the alien ship in Ancient and it replied in English.

Yeah, but they'd already got rush from the planet and had been probing him since they got him

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
