I for one am enjoying the show. *shields face from flaming* I can see what they are trying to do with the show, but I would like to see some interaction with aliens, new technologies and external characters/plot twists. (meaning introducing new characters/plot twists from somewhere other than Earth and "Destiny", maybe a new planet they discover with sentients that have their own issues to deal with etc.) I don't see why everyone here finds the stones to be rediculous, it really shows how they have mastered their whole "transfer consciousness" filming style, that they have been implementing since the 'ol SG-1 days. Considering that they have little or no control over most ship systems due to damage and other unknown reasons, it makes sense that they cannot contact Earth. Hell, would Earth even know how to recieve the message??? The stones solve that logistical issue...(just throw in some really powerful enigmatic technology from the ancients' most recent era and BAM, you have a solution to a logistical issue). The main problem with the show is that the producers/writers are trying to create an environment with real people who feel and interact (not that they don't do that well, although I have a few complaints) and I don't know about you, but I get enough social drama in my real life to not want to tolerate it while I am relaxing with my 33' Acer on Hulu. Ionno, maybe I like it because I am not comparing it to the rest of the SG franchise. I don't really want to compare it......its like comparing WoW to Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. They aren't alike enough to formulate a valuable comparison.

Country Music? O_M_G

I can tell we'll have a lot more fun making fun of the show then we ever did watching it.

That is highly possible. Though my girlfriend came up with an ending scenario for the show:

Everyone onboard the Destiny gets STDs passed through Chloe. Except Eli.

I think you guys are mistaking the asian chick (not the IOA lesbian but the Scientist) for Chloe...The Asian chick fucked Greer and the other airmen. But regardless another wasted hour. And for what? Rush to continue to set into concrete hes an ass and not to be trusted and Young to knock the shit out of Telford. I think that 10 seconds was the only interesting bit in the entire show.  Everything else was blah. Like usual, and the fact they left the last episode incomplete has enraged SG1 fans everywhere.

Also Circumstantial. Your describing exactly what SG1 was, which is exactly the opposite of what SGU is. I throw down the request to vote SGU out of SG Canon before it does anymore harm.

then explain the episode before it, cause they actually never solved their problem.

i have a serious question...

A galaxy is a massive thing, right. and its not arranged in a straight line...

My question is: both SG1 and SGA Stargates could dial any gate within their galaxy as standard, it was only for intergalactic travel that more power etc was required.

So... whats going on in SGU where SG's have to come into range? Lets say its a power issue... they have 40% of total capacity after the first sun they dipped into, possibly a bit more after the second sun... it should be enough?

i mean, traditionally, SG's are self powered, most of them dont have a spaceship or a city ship or a city electrical grid to power them... so why is this one different?

and on another matter. Rush says the Destiny's SG cannot dial back to Earth, because it only has 40% total power... wait, so you are telling me you need more than 40% of ALL the power at your disposal, to dial Earth...

um... design flaw? what idiot designed a system that requires you to drain your ships power to dial home? given, the range is much greater than what was probably intended, but then why design the ships (both the seeder ship and Destiny) with such longevity in mind? Surviving 10,000 years and STILL seeding gates (which, btw, would have run out of gates a long time ago? does the seeder ship fabricate gates itself? if so, thats cool... and very useful, otherwise...)

i hate glaring holes such as these in a story

Wow watching that web update is painful...

it doesnt disturb you people are jumping bodies and using them for sex.........i think id be pissed if someone used my body to have sex with their wife or life partner.

SGU is not reality. Its very broken and misunderstood characters trying to sell themselves as real.

No, I watch the show and think Rush is mostly ok. I hate how Colonel Young is so absurdly paranoid of Rush. Even when Rush does lie, he isn't acting malevolently.

every episode has been about the character development. There hasnt been a single episode where they havent involved a characters personal life. Not once have they had to face an alien race looking to kill them and not their stupidity. Reality check they wouldnt be in this situation if Rush didnt dial Destiny. Young said it himself, if Rush was worried about the effects of Icarus going boom and transfering through the gate to earth. The best option would have been to dial another planet and then transfer to Earth. And the stupid ass excuse that ONLY 1 planet in a GALAXY (no way in hell has SGC surveyed every planet in the Milky Way at this point.) has the ability to dial Destiny is a load of shit.

More then likely its the first planet theyve come across with that amount of power fed into the Gate without it blowing up in their faces. But just like theres thousands of Earth Like planets. Its safe to assume theres 100s if not thousands of Icarus like planets.
