Stargate Universe [SG:U]

[abs 2]

Really? No comments after that incredibly dramatic episode?

- I hate Talford. I hope he dies a million painful deaths.

- Rush is in my good books. I never thought I'd say that.

- Maybe I don't know enough about the whole SG series, but why can't they all get on a planet when the ship dials in next time, and then dial back to Earth from there?

I must say I really enjoyed "Home". Some scenes there were pretty creepy. ;)

@Abs

The explanation why they can't dial home is simple: Earth is too far away. The amount of energy required to dial another gate is mostly dependent on how far away it is. Most stargates are normally capable of dialling other gates within the same galaxy (max range about a hundred thousand light years). If you channel a large amount of extra power into the gate, for example with a ZPM, you can dial out to other galaxies (a couple of million light years away).

The Destiny is apparently several billion light years away from Earth. They only got there by using a special stargate that apparently sapped all the energy out of a planet to establish the connection - and destroyed the planet in the process. In order to get back, they would need huge amounts of energy that no normal stargate can provide.

Makes sense...I just thought that the gates on the planets might have a bit more power than the one on the ship...I didn't realize it was an already established premise. Thanks for the explanation. :)

Nice episode. I like Rush now even more, I think hes the only one making the right decisions and having the right ideas. What did he say in the 6th episode?

"Always think of the greater good"

I'm really looking forward to next weeks episode. It looks awesome. I liked this one but I am not a big fan of the whole "stone" thing it is just too odd for me. Especially since that was the first time they used them for an intelligent reason. Someone mentioned on the gateworld forum that they should really have someone switch with a doctor sometime soon so that he can help TJ.

[abs 2]

How do they get the video feed from billions of light years away to see who they're switching bodies with?

Abs

[TimRiceSE 10]

Eh... they can just look in the mirror? :S

[abs 2]

But they have these video tablet type things that show them who is on the other side...or am I mistaken again?

Abs

[kavoven 4]

I always thought they can't see to whom they're switching to and the security camera filming style is just used for having some kind of "being observed" feeling?

[jakerod 254]

Abs

They can't. They know who their switching with once they have already switched. The security camera is there to show them who they are in or to show us who they are in.

[abs 2]

Seems like I misunderstood what I was seeing. Thanks again, guys.

That looks a bit more like Stargate in my opinion :) Classical time problem.

either way, it worked, thanks for searching and providing the trailer, I like the show.

[kavoven 4]

Ah THAT v... I was searching for a v inside the html code :D

[SD_BOB 10]

Did you see that thing going into Cloes chest? on the trailer. Its actually starting to get more into the story now, rather than just lets get the ship working and character development. Btw did anyone else see the Young/TJ relationship when the series began, pretty obvious really. Oh and Telford is a right devious little git isnt he ;)

Looks a bit like some relative of the Goa'uld

I enjoyed the futurama references, but thats just cause I'm a nerd :D

Time

Loved it! One of the best episodes I think.

[canukausiuka 1]

This episode felt a lot more like Stargate than the others have. About halfway through I called the ending though. Definitely a good episode. :)

[kavoven 4]

Right...

Shame that Cloe didn't die, I don't like her at all...

Going back in time twice is a bit strange. And do they really go back in time or do they just create an parallel universe? So there are already two SG:U crews who died in a cruel way?:confused:

I'm not that very much a friend of such episodes...there where quite some during Atlantis and they always kept my brain busy since I think moving back and forth in time like this is more complex than displayed in SG.

[abs 2]

For this not to be resolved felt like a bit of a cop out. You know they're all going to come back to life.

It is resolved its just they didn't want to make you go through the same thing the third time.
