  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.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
