Finally got time to watch this series. Why did they ruin Stargate?

How far are you in? The show was bloody awful the first half of the season, I nearly quit watching. But it's improved massively the past 13 or so episodes and I now look forward to watching it

I just hate how all scripted tv breaks for the summer :(

Most of. Not all. The cable networks are running some summer shows now, they usually start in July.

T-bag!!

Yeah, seems like Robert Knepper is the only one from Prison Break to be in anything else.

I thoroughly enjoyed this season and the finale. Even though they kept the fate of so many characters up in the air (ironically the name of the premiere) Looking forward to it's return although I'm not keen on their new crew. Although I suppose its better than them fighting with each other like during the initial half of the season. Thankfully its only 4 months away give-or-take. However I'm sure we'll have another 4 months gap after the 10th episode. Hope they don't rule out the Stargate too much, while I'm happy with the new direction they've taken the show, I still like going back to its routes, very little exploration, considering its a ship meant to.. explore.

Also having seen that teaser, it appears more people gate to destiny? So much for searching for the perfect planet, seems they are a dime a dozen out there.

OCTOBER IS SO FAR AWAY!!

/me riots!

But seriously, such an awesome ending. It's a good show, it really gets you involved with the characters. The ending was perfect, though I too was yelling at my TV afterwards unsure.gif

:o Rob C Cooper is leaving the franchise.

A short and early blog entry today as I’m heading off to the first stop in Robert C. Cooper’s farewell victory tour. ”What’s that?” you say. You didn’t know hew was leaving? Well, yes. Sad but true. His appearance at this year’s Comic Con panel will mark his final Stargate-related contribution, so if you happen to be in the San Diego area in late July, make sure to say goodbye and thank him for fourteen years and countless hours of gate-tastic entertainment. But, please – no tears. If you start crying it’ll only be a matter of time before he starts crying as well (the ole softy) and that’ll just embarrass him.

It’s true. Rob is leaving Stargate after some 300+ episodes and we’ll all miss him terribly (especially Kerwick, the office mascot, who, late Friday, managed to swallow his chimpanzee sense of melancholy long enough to sign dibs on Coop’s soon-to-be-vacated office). Still, allow me to take a moment to dispel some of the crazy theories presently making the rounds of the internet concerning his departure.

1. Rob left because he’s doing poorly in our Office World Cup pool and can’t bear the thought of seeing Ashleigh win again – Untrue. In fact, Rob passed on the pool because he knew he wouldn’t be around to see its conclusion. And, quite frankly, didn’t trust any of us to send him his winnings if he did come out on top. Yes, it goes without saying that he can’t stand the thought of Ashleigh winning, but the same can be said for most everyone else in the Production Office.

2. Rob contracted an alien virus while directing a recent off-world episode and is placing himself in self-imposed quarantine before his mutation completes and he becomes a threat to his co-workers – Untrue. Rob is hale and hearty, one hundred percent healthy and will no doubt bury us all. Damn him.

3. Rob was ousted as a result of a coup orchestrated by fellow Executive Producer Carl Binder – Untrue. Rob made the decision to leave last year. You’re just hearing about it now. And, for what it’s worth, there is absolutely no evidence linking Carl to either of the previous failed coup attempts.

4. Rob is being replaced by a certain someone we all know and love – Untrue. Although it may seem all too coincidental, Rob’s departure and Oprah’s decision to wrap up her highly successful show are in no way related. Oprah will NOT be replacing Rob for SGU’s third season (nor will anyone else for that matter, much to Kerwin’s chagrin). Paul and I will continue our show running duties alongside Brad for the show’s third year.

5. Rob is leaving because I09 hurt his feelings – Untrue. Unlike Carl who bursts into tears whenever Meredith Woerner hates on an episode-ending music montage, Rob is superhumanly thick-skinned, impervious to all negative critiques and even somewhat flame retardant.

So there you have it. No conspiracy, Carl-orchestrated coup, or upcoming role as lovable new intern Seamus McPhee on next season’s Grey’s Anatomy. After fourteen great years with Stargate, Rob has decided to move on. We’ll miss him but we’ll see him off, buoyed by his innumerable contributions to the franchise and secure in the knowledge that whatever is next for him – be it the opera or training for a UFC title bout – he’ll be successful.

^ That actually would be pretty cool. The only problem with giving it a good long wait is most of the actors will have aged significantly. Although it would be cool for there to be a 'Startgate' movie that combined all 3 series characters/plots and brought together their little universe.

It looked like they were going to a planet from Destiny, not to destiny from another planet.

Yea I suppose that makes more sense, but even still they managed to gate to a planet, then captured, than forced to return :laugh:

The upcoming second season of Stargate Universe will expand upon the show?s mythology, giving viewers new insights on just why the Ancients set the Destiny on a pre-programmed course millions of years ago.

Among those insights is the fact that the ship isn?t just allowing its reluctant crew from Earth to explore the unknown, but that it is also going somewhere in particular.

SCI FI PI reports that ?the Destiny has a destination of cosmic importance,? according to an upcoming interview with executive producer Brad Wright ? ?so important that it overshadows the desire for the crew to get home, and that by fulfilling this new mission, it may in fact allow them to get home.?

Hmm

"According to the site, the info indicated ?a gigantic battle in space featuring an armada of alien spaceships, and possibly a planet-based battle, are coming to Stargate Universe. Great news for Stargate action junkies!?"

Damn it, hurry up October.

You know what i was ready to give up on this show, i love all things Alterran and i was excited at the prospect of getting some backstory but it was just Battlestar Galactica but with a lot more whiny and unlikeable people. But that above has just shot this show right into my number 1 slot that Lost used to take up, less space soap opera, more stargate activity, more Alterran/Ancient backstory and im sold.

Im still hoping for at least an Alterran outpost along the way or some of them in stasis on the ship somewhere.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      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 LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
