  1. 1. Who should lead on Destiny?



Recommended Posts

Not a bad episode I guess, I wasn't expecting an alien presence this early. They also appear to have ftl without a hyperspace window; granted it's different, but it's the same principle. Given they don't use hyperspace and they aren't using a fabric of warped space like destiny, that has to lend itself to time dilation.

Technology aside; oh hai! we've met before... or close enough anyways. Maybe one of those pods did make it ;)

Left: SGA episode season 5 episode 15, right: obviously SGU season 1 episode 11

Military confrontation? :o

Ah, the Sekkari. I remember them from that episode. I don't think they're the same aliens we saw in SGU because according to that SGA episode, they've been extinct for a very long time.

I dunno Anaron; if one of them made it, that's a long time to evolve back into a useful silicone based life form. Remember the seed carriers were meant to promote the development of silicon based life forms, this doesn't mean they would be the Sekkari to the tee after so many years.

I like the speculation anyways :p

i liked the episode but the ending felt too rushed (no pun intended =P)

wtf was with that last little ship going to hyperspace by itself? lame attempt at tricking us that it was rush's ship, and then they make rush board destiny in one of those ships and nobody noticed it

Wow, are there people still watching this? I give it 2 seasons before it's canceled. They managed to turn a great franchise into a soap-opera crap. The young and the restless on a space ship. Pathetic.

For me, SG-1 was absolutely amazing, I watched all 10 seasons 2 times so far. I like Atlantis too, although it took me a while to get used to the new characters. Speaking of, THAT was the way to go with a new SG show - introduce the new characters via the old, familiar ones, in SG-1. Make the transition easier. In this Universe crap, we got 20 teenagers on a ship from the start.

Whatever...

I think it's generally obvious that wasn't Rush's ship, the size difference alone would have shown that. It's a trick that's been used often enough in TV that you had to see it coming and people noticed his ship docking with the Destiny. That's why the Lt and the sargent were waiting at the tunnel when they cut in and Chloe fell through.

ya, I am an SG-1 and Atlantis lover, and I absolutely love the direction they are heading with Universe. I could not see them making another show following the same format the previous 2 did (after all that's why Atlantis got canned so young)

I disagree. Atlantis was canceled for no good reason, people were watching and the ratings were fine.

As for the direction of Universe...what's that? A show with crybabies, with many inconsistencies and question marks and with absolutely no connection to the Stargate world except for the stargate itself and the ancients. The cast is all wrong, I didn't like ANY of those new faces, the transition from Atlantis to Universe was none, the atmosphere is exactly like Galactica...come on. They tried to merge Star Trek Voyager with Battlestar Galactica and they failed completely. Of course, there are people that like it and that's normal, but in my opinion (and others) this is a waste of time and a disgrace to the Stargate franchise.

I am waiting for the Atlantis movie and the new SG-1 movie. At least I'll see some familiar Stargate faces one more time. :)

a good intense episode but I was left feeling with the thought that Young needs to gtfo :rofl:

I really liked the ep because Young finally dropped the hammer and really drove the point home that he's not putting up with their crybaby crap anymore.

At least the post-season break seems to have breathed a little life into the series. It was fast becoming stagnant between Eps 3-8 at least. What did happen was just enough to tide me over until now. They better have changed it for Season 2.

I think Universe is a good direction for the series. Atlantis was off to a good start but the formula rather soon died off. I think it would have risked killing the entire series if they decided to continue with the "Hollywood" style action formula.

I think you have gotten the entire Universe thing wrong. They are not crybabies. They are for the most part normal people who got in the situation they now are in. We are seeing them develop their ranks and coping with the situation. I like this because we don't know where it is heading. And them reviling the aliens so late was good. I hate it when we know these things too fast. Sure it worked for SG1 and Atlantisk, but as I wrote earlier, it might have stopped the series permanently.

I loved SG1 and really liked Atlantis until season 3. They messed up from there. Universe have a fresh start with a lot more possibilities and opportunities.

edit: Also have to add that the OST for Universe is amazing!! I almost get chills for every episode. The pop songs is mostly hit and miss though.

I don't know why the military is in command honestly. There has been no enemy to protect the people from up until now and honestly, the military needs the civilians alot more than the civilians need them. At least with Atlantis and Sg-1, you could see the benefit of each side helping each other. In this case, the way they've set it up so far, what's to stop a civilian saying no I won't fix the air scrubbers, I won't grow us new food, we'll all die if you don't accept civilian control..shooting your gun isn't going to make you get more air.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • 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.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
    • so the people who bought this will get a refund?
