The New Stargate Universe Thread

Incidentally, that episode where Jack Shepherd kills Reese has to rank as one of the best SG1 episodes Ive seen. That, and 'The Fifth Race', where we are finally introduced to the Asgard.

Jack shepherd ?

If you are talking about the episode of sg1 (menace) where they find the android that created the replicators then i would agree that its one of the best episodes of sg1 :D

But the episode were they introduce the human form replicator in season 6 i would rank as one of the worst.
 
It was actually the reverse.

The replicators developed, in private, into humanoids, very quickly.

The ASGard picked up on this and developed a time dilation device to slow down time for the replicators, while those outside the field, will see time going as normal. This would mean that 1000 years would pass for humans, while only a second would pass for the replicators. Unfortunately, the replicators found a way to break free of this.

The development of the replicators had already taken place, before the time dilation field was put in place.


Hmm, wasn't it actually that the ickle guys put a time dilation device in to do as you said, they reversed it which caused the rapid development, because they'd managed to stop it before it engaged or something. So they sent SG-1 in to turn it back on properly before they could turn it off again.

Thats what I seem to remember, then the asgard collapsed it into a black hole which they escaped from. I watched it too much :(


Latest ep was crap, again, as per almost every other one. Infact they've ball been crap just a couple eps almost made it all the way to just boring, but didn't quite get that good.

As much as he hates Rush, no one would leave him on the planet, the chinese bird is just reminding me of really crap Heroes writing where she has a new entirely opposite agenda every week. The crap they pulled in SG-1 with civilian/miltary control doesn't work, no ones stupid enough with a group of what, 20 odd people to try to continuously change command. It almost made sense in SG-1, because they REMOVED the previous commander and moved them elsewhere, obviously there is no chance to do that, its just nonsense that they are trying to add a political side to the show which is so ridiculously limited.

Only marginally less ridiculous than the idea the military are happy to replace their CO with one whose not even on the ship who can only be there sometimes and wants to risk all their lives at every single chance.

They've made this show VERY different, yet they are ignoring the limitations they imposed with this style of SG setup, and are trying all the old storylines/sub plots of which none make any sense.

The fact they've done basically no exploring of the suposedly massive ship since, well the first few ep's is beyond ridiculous.

The cliff hanger couldn't be less ridiculous, ok theres like two options but we know he'll either get the ship working or get picked up by people looking for that ship. If he gets picked up I'm going to guess he'll be tortured or some device used to find where he's from and hence you have your new enemy trying to take down the ship.

The problem is, I still have no connection to any characters, they are all dull or just flat out plain unlikeable.
 
How about a mix between VOY and Red Dwarf? It's got to be it's own thing though, just for god's sake let it be it's own thing written by decent people.

Seriously, you remember the opening sequence? That was epic.
 
How can you not love the 3 part episode at the end of Season1, when atlantis went up against the Wraith?

How can you not like the episode where virtually all the known protagonists formed an alliance to once and for all wipe out the replicator planet? That is one of my all time favourite episodes of any show.

Ah those were probably the best Atlantis episodes, i especially loved the siege part 3 where the deadelus arrives and starts nuking the wraith ships, i mean how cool was that? thats the kind of scifi i love to see, people actually using their brains to come up with clever but common sense ideas like simply beaming a nuke across, ideas that seem obvious to us rarely get done it feels like, they have all that tech and often don't try to combine it or use it in novel ways.

Im also reminded of another great episode from sg1, season seven the lost city where they finally kill off anubis, what an epic ending that was, something stargate can do well when it wants, though i feel thats where it peaked at in sg1.

As to universe, not bad, pretty good, something to watch yet i hope it gets better, fair enough they've built up the character drama a bit but now i want to start seeing some of the cool scifi elements i love, tech, space battles, science talk and stuff, come on where is it!?
 
Looks like Universe is coming back for a second season next year. With the current proposed schedule there'll probably be less downtime between the finale of Season 1 and the opening of Season 2 than during this current season's break.

It's currently (season 2) airing on ITV4 on Monday nights at 10pm. Brilliant show, with a very small budget, so its mostly green screen work and the CGI is very prominent. Miles more action and drama than SGU can ever hope for.

I stumbled across a season 2 episode on ITV4 last week, and immediately bought the first season on iTunes as a result. Currently working through season 2, which is the present season and a third has been confirmed.
 
Might pick up the dvds then as I can't get itv4. I remember being interested in this way back when it was only webisode thingies and couldn't wait to get watching it so it's a shame a bigger station hasn't picked it up.
 
I saw the first webisode and didn't think much of it. The show seems to be a cross between BBC's Torchwood, and ITV's Primeval. Worth a look see :)
 
I fell out of love with sanctuary after reading that Emillie Ullerup was forced out of the show by the producers and has been replaced by a character that doesn't even come close to her (Kate)!

Emellie's character was crap :) As is Kate tbh. Emellie's char is too much of a rubbish Faith wannabe from the Buffy Universe, and sod knows what Kate is all about. Both are useless.
