Probably be some loophole in the plot that means even though you think he's dead for one episode he comes back. Used to be the case in SG1 and SGA that the main characters never died but it made it look like they almost did, or worse they did die then come back to life like Ronon did right at the end of Jack in that SG1 Movie! Seems a bit like cheating with the plot if you ask me!
I am wondering what happens to Telford as it did look like he was on the ship all beat up in the 1.5 trailer.
Who is Telford? What does he look like? What is his role?
That's one of the things that Stargate does best. I've lost count of the amount of times a character appears to have died and then comes back, Daniel Jackson being the prime culprit, a fact they make fun of in Season 7 iirc.
The stones are the same as those in SG1/SGA, the ones in SGU don't work any differently to those in SG1/SGA. The only difference is they've backwards engineered and made their own version of the pedastal/communication device found in Avalon (a more compact and portable version for good reason). I am wondering what happens to Telford as it did look like he was on the ship all beat up in the 1.5 trailer. Is his mind occupying someone on the ship at the time, and they're the ones beat up? or did he gate to the ship somehow? Looking forward to the next few episodes that explain that.
That's one thing which makes the show interesting is that whenever you get these trailers you only see a tiny part of a few episodes and as such don't get any form of context so we won't know until we see it whether he's actually on-board Destiny or if he's just occupying someones body!
I think going by the episode titles that the aliens being on Destiny will come about when we reach "Incursion"![]()
Don't get me started on how many times they've rinsed the whole is Jackson dead routine![]()
Jackson -> every other SG-1 / SG:A and SG:U character.
Mad Rapper, we're just seen Eli, Annoying Girl and Soldier Boy abandoned as Destiny jumps to FTL. You're two episodes ahead of what's aired in the UK.
"Sabotage" (the one with the quadriplegic) airs tomorrow night at 20:00 hours in the UK.
"Pain" is the following Tuesday.
