Stargate Universe

Well I watched that. I thought it was really good looking forward to the next instalment. Anyone know when it will be available from the usual torrent sources?
 
Eps 1&2 have left me wanting more...altho I'll get hacked off if they don't come up with some more flyby sequences for scene starters...not bad so far...
 
Hey, what the with the craft shooting off at the end what? :confused:

Further Battlestar Gatelactica Universe, but worth watching. Stargate without crappy Atlantis and boring Goa'uld? Win :cool:

O'Neill's 'No-one's trained for this' was nice too but he's mixing himself up with Kurt Russell though! :rolleyes:
 
What was that craft flying away at the end, now that has got me very curious as well.

Overall a good episode, a slow burning story that will initially centre around the hunt for resources, which also allow the character develop to continue and then pick up the pace, once they are much more established.

Must admit not loving the music so far!! But I get fed up with a lot of shows that have that music montage toward the end of the episode, mainly because so many do it!

But looking forward to the next episode

PS loved the fact that a few got stranded on another planet & did we have our first SGU alien contact, in interviews the producers mentioned getting away from men in suits and being more subtle about it!! just a thought

aparently the next ep is about possibly escaping in the working shuttle... presumably this was them testing it out

Cool, makes sense. As they explore the ship there will lots of discovery of ancient tech. I've only looked at a few episode titles ahead, been avoiding any news or spoilers as much as possible, so trying not to guess to far ahead, but naturally things start coming to you.

Interesting that we don't see the dialogue between earth and the ship, thus thrusting into a political battle between Dr Rush & Col Young, who is telling the truth!!
 
Got to say I thought ep3 was pretty dull, and was that swirling dust cloud meant be alive, just in his mind or what?
 
I quite like the direction they've gone with this show. Their chief struggle is with their circumstances rather than with some alien baddie, and the science in it seems more grounded in reality than Star Trek technobabble.

Well ep4 was a good one, much better than 3. Anyone seen it yet? Want to discuss?

it was well good:D

Robert Carlyl is owning this series hard.

I don't like those stones that allow a body swap though, they are a bit of a McGuffin
 
The thing about those stones is that they connect the story to the real world, which is something you don't see in other SF shows that are set in the future or in another dimension or whatever. I just hope they start using it for something other than subplots involving encounters with weeping loved ones.
 
Seen ep4, It's just not good enough. I hate those passages where they talk to camera. The whole thing feels wooden and stupid, that geeky kid is just annoying.

So how that going to get out of this mess then?

reckon the ship will pull something itself to stop them going into the sun. As they currently haven't accessed the core systems at all the writers can get away with having the ship behave independantly.

Love how ape Robbie went this episode 'WHAT. DiD. I. SAY!'
 
Carlyles is the only reason I'm still watching. I'm kind of getting my head around the stones, i like the way the used the reflection in the car window to show the host body.
 
I thought Darkness was a great episode, definitely the best so far. Robert Carlyle was outstanding when going mental .. fantastic stuff.

I'm enjoying the Kino parts, re talking directly to camera, very similar to Letters from Pegasus (Atlantis episode) and gives screen time to more of the cast and allows the viewer to get some idea of the lesser characters so to speak.

Glad the stargate humour is still being retained and last night episode finally felt that the balance was right. I think the stones are going to be a really useful tool and the reflection in the car window was a nice little touch. The show is definitely growing in stature and pace.

Great stuff
 
I'm hoping it picks up pace, it's not as exciting as i'd hoped and i've had enough of the "nothing really happens during the whole episode except the cliffhanger in the last 2 mins crap" that we see way too often, lost,heroes,flashforward,fringe etc etc.

For people wanting to stream go to sidereel.com or if divx works for you have a look at ninjavideo.
 
Good episode. Definetly trying to be a hard sci fi piece. Some nice geeky references to the 'goldilocks zone' and varios other bits of astronomical nerdishness.

i'm guessing flying through part of the sun is how the ship re-energises
