Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

Who's to say the Destiny hasn't recharged a few times already on it's voyage. The arrival of 80+ people put a strain on it, and it's now recharging again.

True.

So my next question is why doesn't it stop frequently to do so and keep fully charged. Although, I suppose if it puts a significant strain on the ship, then it would do it as few times as possible. Which could lead to a whole new set of problems for the crew.

But I'm not sure I like the idea of them fixing the power problem so early on.

 

[Gilpesh]

Except, why didn't Destiny just do that with any star and keep it's batteries charged for all these centuries?

Maybe it does do it with just any star and this is the end of the centuries it went for without another run to charge, which it is now doing. And the systems they have automatically on to take care of the power, don't take into account any crew the ship has, especially as the guys haven't figured out a way to change any of the defaults.

So maybe after this charging run, Rush will have more luck working the computers as they will be at full power.

 

[Gilpesh]

So my next question is why doesn't it stop frequently to do so and keep fully charged.

It's still set on crewless probably. So the trips are only when necessary.

 

[wiegeabo]

I'm liking this idea more and more. That Destiny is actually a lot smarter than the crew. The crew thinks its on a runaway ship that's falling apart. Where actually Destiny thinks it's still on its mission, and knows what the crew, and it, needs to survive and keep going on. And the more the crew tries to 'fix' things or assume they know more about what's happening, the worse it gets for them.

 

[Gilpesh]

Well. I only think the only crew related thing it did for them, was getting to the sand planet so they would get more whatever whatever to fuel the life support.

But this trip to the sun is more just a routine recharging mission than a crew related thing. I think Rush will have to change some settings before the ship gets more user friendly.

 

[wiegeabo]

Well, Rush is the one that told the ship they needed something like lime to sequester the carbon dioxide. But now the ship's determined the most critical priority is recharging because, without power, there's no way the crew can survive, or the mission can continue.

 

[Gilpesh]

Then it looks like the major thing they all need to do by the end of the season is somehow tell the ship that the mission needs to be stopped.

 

[wiegeabo]

Yeah. Basically, stop getting in the ship's way, and just worry about doing what they need to do to buy themselves the time to convince it the mission's over. And, or course, hoping that all the damage hasn't 'permanently' locked the ship's computer on the mission.

Or...what if the ship is actually running from something? Not the whole million years, but maybe a few decades ago the show's new bigbad found it, Destiny fought back (or didn't) and escaped before suffering a crippling amount of much damage. Now the ship is running away, under the assumption the bigbad is still coming after it. Which would explain why the stops are only 12 hours long. It's afraid the bigbad will find it. (Could also have been the last command given to it by the ancient's a million years ago, and it just doesn't know it's been long enough and can stop running.)

Universe's Destiny is so far away from Earth that literally the only means of contacting Earth is the basic communication afforded by the stones.

You mean those wacky body-swapping stones Daniel and Vala used to jump into the Orii's galaxy? That's one bit of technology I didn't think they'd bother to use again.

 

[wiegeabo]

That's how they contact Earth. Stargate Command has created their own version of it though. And they have people at the SGC taking shifts with it because they never know when someone from Destiny will call in.

Another strong episode.

Rush is losing it further and further with every episode.

You're welcome.

[Superfreak]

was much happier with that episode... and can I say BOOBIES everywhere!!!!

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Good ep. kept my attention throughout(touch boobies) but I don't like "confessionals" even when they were on Virtuality. That Chloe chick is annoying but uber hot.

 

[Maximus One]

I actually like Chloe. She is super adorable and I like how shes kinda latched on to Eli. Although I dont think they are going to be more than just friends which is horse****! Plus the whole scene with Eli walking in and seeing her naked had me rollin. That and the scene at the beginning where Eli was explaining the showers. They are easily my 2 fav characters.

Im really liking Young to. I dunno what it is about him but I really like the guy playing him. Anyone know anything else hes been in? All Ive ever seen him in was Saw IV

 

[Dr Lee]

He was in Shooter

 

[wiegeabo]

Saw IV! That's where I've seen him. Of course. That had been bugging me forever.

 

[wiegeabo]

And now that I've remembered to check, he's been in a bunch of guest spots that I've seen.

You must have missed the preview for next week's episode.

Spoiler

Scott and Chloe were "doing it."

 

[zanos]

I liked the episode but is this what they are going to end up doing the entire season? They travel around, ship breaks down, they fix it, it breaks down again and puts everyone in danger? There's got to be more than this right?

It's only the third episode......

 

[Manic]

Well, it sounds like the show is starting off well enough. I might have to set aside my normally busy Friday nights to watch it.

*programs Comedy Central's stand-up block to Tivo*

And now my Fridays are free.

 

[Gilpesh]

There's got to be more than this right?

It was hinted at right in the last part of Air. A ship took off of the Destiny. A ship that means someone else knows Destiny is out there... and they want it bad enough that they had a small ship on it.

So they're going to have to fight against a big bad outside of the ship, and the ship itself until they figure out how to use it.
