  1. 1. Who should lead on Destiny?



Recommended Posts

lime absorbs carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate... the fact that lime does this is part of high school level science and important in the 'carbon cycle', it was also explained in the episode for people that weren't already aware ;)

also, if you look on epguides.com you will see in a few episodes time that there is one called 'water', this, coupled with the fact that a number of times the word ration is used in the first three episodes would mean that no, there is not an endless supply.

seriously, next time, watch the show properly, or just not at all :p

Thanks for taking the time to explain that, do yourself a favor and not look like an ******* by attempting to be insulting. ;)

not sure i understand, lol.. the smilies were there as i was attempting NOT to be insulting.. :)

aka tongue in cheek

Edit: maybe you mean that next time i should attempt to be insulting? Is there a comma missing after the ******* perhaps? ;)

Why do people have to call this funny names like Battlestargate: Lost in Deep Space Voyager 9. It's a sci-fi in space. Tons of things have been done already and there may be similar themes in SGU but I don't see any blatant copying going on.

Atlantis had me face palming a lot because they carbon copied many episodes SG-1. So far I am not getting that feeling on SGU but we'll see how that turns out once the first season is done.

because its how you describe and differentiate them.

Stargate: movie

Stargate Sg-1: RDA

Starscape Sg-1: Oh hey farscape cast whats up?

Stargate Atlantis:

Stargate SG-A: Oh hey Sam

Stargate Galactica: oh were on a ship and its dark and gritty

Atleast thats how my friends and I describe them.

Just wanted to come back again and say I like it.

It's turning out to be what I thought it might be and not what I thought it might be. And at this point that isn't a good thing or a bad thing, it just is. And yes I was trying to be contradictory and vague. ;)

I'll definitely keep watching. :)

I like it so far. I think it will get better once the characters are developed more and once they stop running out of **** (aka, air, water, power). I get that its more geared toward character development, but would it hurt to throw a little bit of action in there? Maybe some crazy aliens that we have never seen before?

I hate the fact that for no reason everyone hates rush, and I also hate that Eli complains about everything. I think that Eli will grow to be my fav. character, if they develop him right.

Well I liked this episode personally. Granted they have to pick up off of nothing essentially but I think it'll get even more exciting. ALthough I do agree that Scene with the girl and her mother was indeed terrible.

Yes, that was totally retarded :pinch:

What the hell were they thinking? *Were* they thinking? :rofl:

they said the planet had vegatation and what not before they went, so i would assume they have a good atmosphere, just probably not food or what they need to last for very long. I'll be glad when the flashback nonsense stop and they can get to a proper form of storytelling.

The flashback stuff really annoys me :crazy:

1. gather unlikely crew: check

2. impress with stargate and cool unknown technology: check

3. travel through stargate to unkown location: check

4. No way back: check

5. limited communication: check

6: food/water/air crisis: check

7: partially solve food/water/air crisis: check

8: lose some people that will later return as enemyallies: check

9: Meet awesome humanoi(cheap makeup) alien that will become part of the exploratory crew: not yet, possibly first sign with the ship that dropped off at the end.

That sounds pretty much like it :laugh:

Eventually we'll get to the point where they get a gate back to earth or atlantis partially working so they can skip back and forth or drop off supplies. but probably not this season. First we have to milk the all alone with no equipment on a broken ship aspect. not like we've seen that before... Then comes the intergalactic super aliens that have been taking potshots at this shops and probably the gate seeders through the milennia. I bet we'll be paying a visit to the first downed gate seeder near the middle or end of this season.

Any bets about what the new super aliens will be? Perhaps the Furbies, err, Furlings that have never showed up so far, that'd be hilarious :rofl:

Its only the third episode! Give it a chance to get its steam up for gods sake...simple fact is; we have NO IDEA how this is going to play out. Sure it has tenants of BSG and Voyager at the moment, but I have a gut feeling that we're going to see a swerve once the show gets into its stride and see something different.

I for one enjoyed the season opener (ie: all three episodes) and am looking forward to how the rest of the series progresses.

atlantis didnt really develope a good story till mid-end season 1

so i imagine this will be the same, just hopefully they dont do what atlantis did, and kick out a main cast member like they did with Dr Wier. The show seemed to start dieing right after that

I am a big fan of stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. This series however ****es me off to much sex / sexual activity in it. Get this **** off my tv. Either someone stops all this **** or the series will fail.

which "mother against random stuff we find unethical because it didn't exist 100 years ago" are you from then ?

Sex? when was there sex in this show ?are you sure you're not talking about dollhouse or something ?

and I doubt you've seen any SG before in that case :p

Don't watch it then? You aren't being forced to watch it are you? The **** on your TV, some people are actually liking.

Theres sex scenes in the very first episode. As for the dont like it dont watch it statements. Why name it stargate if your not gonna stick to the same fanbase, Name it something else there was very minimal sex inclusion in the previous two series. The very first episode of this had 2-3 sex scene flash backs.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table.

Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
    • If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.
    • It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.
