  1. 1. Who should lead on Destiny?

9/8c Syfy

Ah, irony. Most of the people trapped on Destiny would like to wash their hands of the cursed vessel while the Lucian Alliance

is bent on boarding and seizing the uncontrollable runaway spaceship. To make matters worse, a nearby binary pulsar is

causing power fluctuations that will eventually cause the death of everyone on board in the first-season finale.

Hmm, can't wait

Who called it! oh yeah :p

From what I expect it's a high radiation pulsar, probably a magnetar emitting high levels of xray and gamma radiation. It could be something else but I can't think what else could cause that kind of mess. Given the high level magnetic field it would affect systems to the level you're seeing, even with shielding.

It's nice to see they are keeping to known astrophysics, it really is.

Yeah, they certainly have a darker sense of humor on SG:U

Why so... serious? I think it really makes the show.

Wow, good episode! Some predictable parts, but I liked it and definitely was on the edge of the couch a few times.

October? Really?

Gah I know! PPPLLLEEAAASSEEEE SyFy... reruns are required. And the ending of the episode, soooo mannnyyy cliffhangers.

Is it just me or did it seem like there was fewer Tauri military at the last scene when they were separated. I think season 2 could open with Young and co. jumping their captors when the ship goes dark. Though it seems more likely that Greer and Lt. Womanizer will hop in the airlock and swing into action.

They are pretty much screwed since the guy went all spray and pray and hit TJ. Either Alaina Huffman is on maternity leave for season 2 or if she some how survives they could use it as a way to write off the whole dealing with a on board baby thing.

I might be reading too much into it but it seems like Varro could be around to play a significant role the next season. It seems like he's the only one with his head on straight. While Young, Kiva and everyone else are all Spartaaa!!1 over each other Varro is the first one to mention that eventually the dust will settle and they will have to deal with the consequences of what they've done to each other. With Kiva dead/incapacitated for now someone will have to step in to fill the void. Kiva was way too evil megalomaniacal villain to keep on the ship without getting rid of her or tossing her in the brig for the rest of the show. I was thinking that it could go so far as having him go all Chakotay and be like "I'm first officer now. We must work together to survive, B'elanna". I doubt that will be the case but you get the idea. :p

I was shouting at the TV when the credits rolled tonight. Great episode! Lots of tension and the poo is really hitting the fan. I'm really not down with waiting until October to see what happens... this is the first Stargate show I've watched seriously and I'm really liking it, even despite its few shortcomings. I'll probably re-watch Season 1 between now and October, maybe even branch out into other Stargate shows. This is cool stuff!

good old syfy, they love their loooooooooooooooooooooong breaks! :rolleyes:

Thats what I hate bout SyFy. Luckily thou two of my favourites are returning soon; Eureka and Warehouse 13!

That was pretty much the finest season finale i've ever watched. With this season's Chuck and Fringe a very very close second.

**** Lost - this is how you end a season.

I'm not worried or disappointed about the Eli/Chloe story since its clear that next season we're going to actually get around to exploring the ship. But the thing I love about this show is its not about the cool tech - its actually proper story and character driven which, in the Stargate 'mythology' is secretly what we've all been waiting for. On the flip side, the show seems to be moving further and further away from the whole Stargate thing.

Roll on October though - very happy with this season and happy that all the initial naysayers have come around!

I seem to remember the UK airing episodes during a break earlier than the US would air them, back during the Atlantis days. Wonder if that will happen again?

The shot of Young zoomed in was really a moving shot as it's showing his true emotion. He's failed twice now to "seize the moment" and take action, as Carter did in sacrificing her pilots for the whole ship. Tough call...

The Finale was so so however, i cannot wait for next season to start in October. I love the Stargate series's big fan :D wish it would pick up or something though feels like a syfy drama :p

they didn't for this series, during the winter break we waited the same time as the US

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
