Stargate SG-1/Atlantis/Universe

[Happenstance]

I agree about Scott and Chloe, together they annoy me but apart they arent so bad.

Greer, even though hes got a bit better I still dont really like.

My favourites at the moment are Young, Rush and maybe Eli with TJ close behind. I think once we get a bit more with her she'll get interesting. I did quite like her in Water.

 

[ChickenScratch]

My favorites so far are Eli and Rush. I would love to see Lou Diamond Phillips's character given a bigger role because I love his work.

Eli I feel for because he's a good dude who's suddenly stuck in the "friend zone" after he laid all that ground work. I hope he hooks up with that super hot soldier chick.

You know what? I take back my comment about dropping Universe. I just finally saw the trailer (on demand episodes don't have them) and the next episode is the judgment episode for me. It looks like something important will.... GASP.... happen.

 

[Asgard]

I like how those aliens killed that soldier. Bastard deserved it for shooting first like an idiot. Chloe kind of annoyed me in this ep.

gotta ask, why was the 9 chevron address such a mystery? I don't get this in the grand scheme of the show. Why would the ancients keep the existance of Destiny secret from themselves? As in, we own Atlantis, the center of the Ancient civilization at its height, why would the Ancient Database not contain information on Destiny?

When a stargate dials normally it is a seven number address., The first six symbols act as co-ordinates, creating three intersecting lines, the destination. The Stargate uses the seventh symbol as the point of origin allowing one to plot a straight line course to the destination.

Eight symbols are for out of galaxy dials, The additional symbol acts as a type of "area code". Such connections, in comparison to seven symbol codes, require substantially more energy to complete a functional wormhole — much more than any standard dialing method can provide.

Stargate Universe introduces the concept of a nine-symbol address, the purpose of the ninth chevron never having been explored in the previous series. The ninth symbol is suggested to be meant to lock on to moving Stargates, being a distance calculation along the "straight line" from the point of origin to destination (but more of a divide than the eighth chevron multiplier). Like eight-symbol addresses, the dialing this address requires a significant amount of power, such that the SGC had to tap into a planet's unstable radioactive core to meet the energy demand.

It is a mystery why no one has information on Destiny. Maybe they will find out later in the show.

All of that is from Wikipedia.

well, then go back there, and find the answer I was looking for, instead of repeating things I and everybody else already know

The same can be said to Brian if he does not like the fact that the majority hates his character. Ignore the idiots or quit the show. Fandom is a ***** especially Sci-Fi fans. I wonder what the actress who plays Chloe thinks of all this. Shes getting it worse then Brian

 

[Dr Lee]

i feel bad for BJS' mother.....

 

[BlackLantern]

but in a lot of cases, it's always flowing from the fans to the material and not the other way around....I agree that fandom is a temperamental ****e, especially with sci-fi and comic fans, and it's a fandom which is very sensitive to critcism

I bet if you get up in one of those commenters faces and let them have it with both barrels like they do behind their keyboards....they'd probably cry...

a lot

If there is a Season: 2 I can see Syfy stepping in & either make the show runners make SGU more like SG1 & SGA or your fired & we will find new writers. The fandom really is getting out of hand & I can see Syfy putting its foot down next season

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla... I was like 'Santa's Little Helper' reading that. 'We love our cast and crew' so please don't be mean to us when you don't like what we are producing.

If it was as good as 'you guys' think it is, there wouldn't be crazy people complaining on the internet. But clearly it's not. I love the part about people not being able to deal with a little romance: WHAT ROMANCE? a forced 10 second scene + sex in the next episode. There's no romance there: it's called TnA for TnA's sake.

If, according to the blog, things get worse, I'm not gonna be down with this show for much longer... I feel that's a bad thing: from someone who hasn't missed an episode of the 'gate-verse' since SG1 started and for someone who endured rather than enjoyed atlantis.

 

[Dark Helmet]

I think the majority that are watching don't even like it & are just hoping it gets better lol

I'm throw this out there. My friend Steve is a pretty hot and upcoming actor. Doesn't mean he's good, doesn't mean he's bad. But I will say that he got an awesome role, in a great movie, got to see and touch some famous boobs( the first time those boobs were on screen). But along with that, is the criticism.

If you're an actor, you and your portrayal are going to get blasted somewhere along the line. Said actor/actress and those important to them should be prepared negative backlash.

and as others have pointed out, in the sci fi realm, were very much more critical.

But these are all things you know about, or should know about before jumping into the job. That is the definition of a 'rational person'.

that's where I am... but I don't dislike it, but I don't like it much either. I'm actually prefering Smallville to SGU this year.

Yeah but thats not really fair.....Smallvilles awesome this year!

Smallville is having a great start but hey it had a great start last year & look at how that ended up. I am keeping my guard up & not getting to excited

What? They're not allowed to point out ****** writing that's just supposed to make Stargate into BSG?

I was just making a general statement

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's the extent that the people go to in the comments that Mallozzi's complaining about, it seems. Apparently, he doesn't like the fact that the internet is prone to hyperbole and flagrant exaggeration.

And I enjoy that in that blog post about hyperbole and flagrant exaggeration.... he makes it seem as if the only problem that people have is that they don't like sex scenes or romance in Stargate AND tells them to stop all the idiot comments (using all caps no less).

 

[RetroNaz]

I didn't enjoy the latest episode as much as I have the others...it just felt a little off to me. I can't quite put my finger on it.

And the abrupt ending made us turn to each other and say "is that it?"

 

[wiegeabo]

I thought the ending was perfect. Everyone's *****ing about their own problems, even though one of them just died. And you can see how Young has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Just how much the job is getting to him.
