Stargate Universe (Season 1)

[TonyLock]

One word: "Julia Benson".

Oh yeah!

[macrosslover]

Why not use the stones to contact people like Daniel Jackson or Rodney McKay to help reactivate things and translate things with Rush?

So, if the dead body of the Senator is still on board... wtf flew off the ship in the end of episode 2?

I'm pretty sure it was a different ship, not the shuttle. They only have 2 shuttles on the ship so one missing with his body on it would be pretty hard to miss. Overall a very boring episode for me, so predictable and I saw the ending coming from a mile away. Anytime a scifi shows goes into an unknown star system, with no power, and they show you a picture of the star in the system, you know they're going to have some OMG we have no power and we're heading into the star plot, cause that's like never been done ever -_-.

As to big boob lady, meh, she's obviously attractive but the episode could have done without it. It's almost like the writers knew the first episodes were going to be junk, but to attract the 18-34 male to this show they say let's just throw in some boobies every episode that adds nothing really to the story and keep them hooked until it hopefully gets better again.

All I have to say is Atlantis and SG-1 didn't have to rely on this, I'm troubled the writers of this show feel they have to add a sexual element and tension to every single episode so far, it really gets annoying after a point.

Star Trek... folded? HARDLY! The new movie introduced new generations to the series, and J.J. Abrams said he plans to make more Trek movies... I think he did a good job, even with the creative license he took (and I'm a diehard trekkie... hell, i OWN all of trek on DVD XD and all the games 0o')

I'm really liking the series so far. Last episode and previous ones. It's different from the other 2 but similar enough. Anyone care to take bets on how long it will last? :) will it be the atlantis 5! or the mighty sg1 10 :D

They don't have any other series going so I can see them stretching this as long as they can. How are the ratings, you haven't posted anything Rappy, you can't expect me to search the interwebs myself!

well im gonna say more than atlantis, less than SG1

remember were living in times now where almost everythings been done, and its gonna be hard for them to bring us something fresh and new(not their fault)

Atlantis was going really well to and then they ruined the Dr Wier character, so this show can do really well then they could do something horrible to it that they just cant recover from

Yeah, it is annoying.

I'm also not impressed by this love-triangle between Eli, Chloe and 1st Lt. Scott (Matt).

So far, though, I like how they're concentrating on the ship, rather than "go through the gate, something goes wrong, they sort it and come back". Obviously the gate still needs to be utilised (other wise it wouldn't be Stargate), but the formula has already been used twice, so it's nice that they haven't taken that approach (yet)

Does anyone know what Telford thinks is going on?

[Lord Ba'al]

I like how they are trying to ration their water but there's still time for a sexy shower scene.

There's always enough water for a sexy shower scene. Would be a real shame if not :laugh:

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.

I don't have an issue with that aspect (in the very opposite :drool:), but there's still only very little of it.

The shower scene and similar simply wasn't made for Catholic choir boys who are scared of anything that's sexuality-related.

Just go watch Care Bears or Teletubbies instead, you certainly won't find anything sexual in there.

or this magazine cover :p

She really needs to pull that zipper all the way down :woot:

A shame that the other girl doesn't have a zipper :no:

Epic boobs are epic.

Indeed.

:rofl: Horny lately my lord!

Looks like you need to get you some!

lol anyways, I like how the series is going. Just going to sit back and watch what happens. To early to tell on how it will end up.

Hey I was a Catholic School choir boy and I liked that scene :shifty:

[mistical]

I am really enjoying this show and am loving the characters. I do not know about some of you but it is still just not the same of how SG-1 or Atlantis was. It just seems all over the place. Now I know they were all thrown into this situation and a lot of them are all new to this, young and not experienced. Not that they need to be experienced, just look back to the beginning of SG-1 and Atlantis.

Anyways, someone mentioned how many seasons this show might get up to 5 with Atlantis or 10 with SG-1. I see this show lasting a while but not so sure as many as 5. It would be nice to see some ratings though after another episode. Either way, I will keep watching till they do whatever to the show since I love Stargate.

Have to say I'm liking this show so far. I recently watched an ep of atlantis - what a difference in camera techniques and even film type (atlantis looks so crisp - like comparing home video and cinematic stuff)

Anyway, as far longevity is concerned I would much rather the writers had an end game and could negotiate an finale something like 4/5 years from now. Guess we'll have to wait and see how season 1 fares to get an idea if such things might be possible.

so.. you prefer the Atlantis style? :blink:

SG-1 failed when;

they added the guy from farscape then they added the women from farscape and then they bought in the ori for the rest of the series.

Atlantis failed when;

They killed the Doc, got rid of Wier, added the Doc from voyager as the leader, kept stretching out Micheal plot.

I can see universe failing if they don't pick it up a bit. Shower scene, big boobs, shouting guy, bsg style drama, very slow development of any action. Does not make good tv imo.

Comeon SG-1 was interesting from the start, Atlantis was interesting from the start. Universe was interesting at the start until they all got stuck a busted up ship and started whinning at each other...

I don't know what kind of sci-fi shows you guys like but I prefer there to be a bit more action. That Eli guy hasn't said anything amusing yet....I miss Teal'c, Daniel, Sheppard & McKay.

Sure I could stop watching it, but then it might suddeny become interesting..Yes I know it's only four episodes in but the other shows were good from the start as I said.

[Richard Hammond]

I love this show so much this is everything i wanted Atlantis to be instead of just another SG-1 clone.

Uh its only been 4 episodes, well technically 2 because the first 3 were all 1 episode arc, you cant expect them to have any kind of development after 2(4) episodes, not everyone cares about action action action all the damn time.

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

I don't mean all the time...

[Xero]

I do miss the classics but I'm like Universe best right now. Although it'd be hard to replace SG1 so I'll just say its better than Atlantis for the moment. I'd like it to go 5 seasons strong than 5+ and dwindle.

However I can see problems for them down the road as there is never a really established location with them constantly moving. Hard to build any kind of story arc thats not directly related to the ship. Anything in Universe seems to be short lived, 1 or 2 episodes at the most before they're back on the move again.

[-Vivicidal-]

Isn't it obvious flying into the star will charge the ship?

[11222111]

no, no, it's "Char" no 'ge' required.

lol

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Isn't it obvious flying into the star will charge the ship?

Not into it, but toward it - yes. I'd say the ship would harness the star's solar energy to recharge its energy reserves. :geek:

[x-byte]

I really doubt that. All Ancient technology we have seen so far have used zero point generators. They probably contain million times more power than that sun. And those drive power from subspace if I remember correctly. Which wont charge on solar energy.

[Rob2687]

The ship will deploy the Ancient Big Giant Scoop™ and grab enough energy to maintain the crew for the time being. Are there even ZPMs on the Destiny? It's possible the ship predates that technology.

Thats what I was thinking, we haven't even seen any ZPM's yet. And you'd think that if the ancients were sending this ship on auto-pilot for so many years that they would implement some sort of recharging capabilities.

:p that'd be awesome if they actually called it the Ancient Big Giant Scoop™. I could picture Eli saying that.

[BGM]

all far too convenient, this plot device of the ship knowing what to do and saving them all could get very boring very quickly..

[giantpotato]

One thing I didn't get was why they mentioned needing to dispose of the senator's body. It's trapped in a shuttle with a door that doesn't open. How exactly are they going to get to it?
