Well this was an interesting start to the show-i didn't know that there was 9th symbols address that mean you can travel different glaxeies but what a ship. it does look a lot bigger than Atlantis so I'm impressed but i be interested in seeing what type of enemies they will come across there better be  up to stargate standards.

As to the crew I'm less than impressed but I'm going give it time to develop, none of them have impressed me much in this episode. i kind knew guy with heart condition sacrifice himself for his daughter.

Now there visit different galaxies i can't wait to see who they meet.

For the pilot it had everything any fan would expect however for those who watching this series for a lot longer might be more critical than new fan who never seen the series.

To me they really need to prove themselves in a difficult situation
Author: waterlilybarb    Time: 10-4-2009 10:14     Subject: Reply 8#8 bala's post

Definitely, but what a good premiere for the show.  Robert Carlyle as Dr. Rush is great - I can't tell what his agenda is.  Though the tone of this series is quite a bit darker than the other Stargate series', I think it's still hits the right chord.  I'm really interested to see how it continues - and in order to see some of the others who are listed as regular cast members, I'm assuming they'll have to use the communication stones.  That should prove interesting.  

I know this answer, but what is your take on when those flashes happen?  I'm a little bummed, because I hadn't sussed it out yet, and on InnerSPACE, a show on the Space channel, they were talking about it after the premiere aired, and the guy gave it away...saying it took him a little while to figure it out.  It wasn't exactly a spoiler, but it felt like one, which is why I was annoyed.

i honestly not sure i haven't figured it out but it's one things i can't wait to find out.

They're the same stones they used on SG1.  I liked the episode - and that we got to see them using the stones, so we now know how those characters will be used in the series.   I also liked the start of character development.  Still not sure about Rush.  I can't tell if his agenda is good or bad, and I'm not sure if I like him or not.

Atlantis wasnt either but it had aliens in it and fighting. Universe could do with more alien action and less sad music with close ups of people looking sad or crying. Plus I really wanted to slap chloes mum and that sergent Greere.

did ya'll catch the end of this last episode a little ship took off of our ship, no idea where it came from or who was on it. Also  think we will meet way more aliens and it is only a matter of time before we have an antagonist. they are just character building right now.

I did catch that Tina.  I'm very curious as to what or who was in that ship and what it was doing on Destiny.  

@superhero
I recently saw the premiere episode for SG1 again and i was pretty corny.  Seeing as we've only seen 3 hours of the new series, I think they're doing a good job of introducing us to the characters & setting up the premise.  I imagine we'll see some aliens along the way.  After all, the ship seems to stop near planets with stargates, and there are bound to be aliens on some of those planets.

Yes, but I imagine that since they have the ability to stop at planets with stargates they will stop at more because the ship is still falling apart and they'll need more food & water besides things to repair the ship.

At present moment as I'm typing this only first 3 episodes have added we expect next 2 updated very shortly
Author: slade01    Time: 10-26-2009 16:33

Well I've just watched the 3 episodes that have been updated and thought it was OK, not as good as SG 1 but I did stop watching that after about 6 series.

What I didn't understand was why they didn't just use the flying camera to shut the door, no one would have had to die.  All they had to do was have the camera float over the button until they were all out of the room and then just use the remote control to lower it onto the button.

I though ep 3 was a bit stupid.  They had no idea where they were going so it was 'luck' that he found the lime.  The soldier who went after the other one would not have been able to get to him and back in time.  The guy walked on for the time he took to get back to the gate, then go and find him and then travel all the way back.  The guy had been walking for 6hrs and he had only 5hrs to find him and return.

Either way I'll wait for the other episodes to be added before I decide whether to continue watching this.
Author: waterlilybarb    Time: 10-26-2009 18:21

What I noticed in the new episode (I watch it on Space, so am not sure which one it was) was that they all have satin pillow cases.  Either the "ancients" had great taste or the military has vastly upgraded their bedding. LOL  Plus, Eli's duvet also looked satin.  Not particularly relevant to the storyline, but it amused me nonetheless.

Because it had biological sensor that couldn't be by-passed i.e if use the camera it would of shut it had living thing that pressed the button. it's safeguard prevent ship from automatically launching themselves.
Author: slade01    Time: 10-28-2009 15:38

I think they stretched the 'what will happen to save them' moment too long in episode 5.  The viewer knew something was going to happen.

I had the thought early on that it was solar powered but I just thought that there would be some sort of sensor on the outside not that it would literally fly through the star, that was pretty cool.

I don't think Rush knew but just suspected since the ship stopped to help them with the air supply system that it had its reason for the ships trajectory.

infact most of the cast are either boring or just plain irritating. even the characters that are supposed to be a sort of relief from the more intense stuff are awful

they need more sci fi and action in universe, none of all this character building nonsesne. we knew very little about the cast in sg1 and atlantis, that formula seemed to work with those two shows.  dont know why they changed it.

I can only hope that Rush will figure out how to control the ship, fight the aliens that apparently are on their way and figure out how to get the three characters I actually like back on the ship.  I will say this, these past couple episodes have been some of the more interesting.  I like that they are going through the gate and it's not all about what they are feeling.  Here's another thing, Are there no civilizations at ALL in this WHOLE galaxy.  I mean really.  Couldn't they have found SOMEONE to open trade agreements with!  Humph.....I need more.

Now after all that they somehow manage to dial the gate to get back even through it was establish in the pervious episode that they couldn't?. They really must think we are idiots..

This is a case of the writers not having any idea how to bring character back-it would better if they were rescued in the pervious episode-that prevent such disappointing return. .

they only couldn't dial back to the ship because it jumped into ftl but when it fell out again it would have shown up on the remote that eli had coz they were on the planet that was closest to the ship when it jumped. eli would have kept checking the remote coz he would believe they would find a way to help them.

i thought in pervious episode they said when the ship jump FTL they can't go back which means they are straddled?. Even in speech the guy said they can't get them back.

Gating back was rather undramatic or interersting but the Aliens attemps to get the ship was fun. But why have they not tried before the humans were on board. They were tracking it but that's about it. So I am a little confused. can't wait to see what the new galaxy holds hope it is more interesting than some ruins, dinosaurs and stupid yet advanced aliens.
Still am curious about who built that solar system maybe it was the the dumb aliens or the furlings.
