ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.03 23:04:00 - [1] Not impressed. It was not-bad enough for me to watch a few more episodes, but it's nothing special. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.04 10:48:00 - [2] If the ship was designed to be entirely unmanned, there wouldn't be a life support system. Or corridors or doorways or consoles, etc. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.04 11:17:00 - [3] Edited by: ReaperOfSly on 04/10/2009 11:21:06 Originally by: Destination SkillQueue Just fininshed watching it. It wasn't anything special, but not bad either. The biggest problems were, that not much actually happened, the needlesly sacrifice of one crew member and mostly annoying cast of people. Mostly flashbacks and stretching very little actual happenings to last over an hour. I hope they can do better in actual episodes. Without the needles sacrifice side plot, it would have been boring. And they used the most horribad way to create needless drama. Why the ** didn't you use the god damn remotes you paraded for the viewers just minutes before bringing up the problem. Did they forget to watch their own show? This obvious plot hole is the thing that worries me the most. If they let this go through in a pilot, we can expect similar things to come. About the characters. The four characters I liked were mathboy, the doctor, the commander and the medic. Not enough to remember their names though. Rest of the people seemed more like random civilians then professionals part of this kind of project. Special mention goes for soldier angry **, who wouldn't have made through basic psychological evaluation let alone be asigned to a project that important. I guess there is room for character growth though. The next few episodes need to do better than this. I hated Rush personally. It looked like they were trying for a Baltar (floppy haired intellectual twit with british accent who gets everyone into the catastrophic mess they're in), but he's a far less sympathetic character. He's just aloof, arrogant and extremely annoying. And almost certainly has some vaguely sinister agenda. Edit: and maths boy will be the person who stops the sinister plan at the last moment. Calling it now. ____________________

Too bad they didn't have a couple of lawyers they could fire out an air lock... And they never talk about basic life necessities on these shows. 1). What's to eat? Like is there a freezer full of space beasts to barbecue? And what about plain old water? 2). Where they can take a dump? Did the previous owners leave bum paper? 3). No showers or tampon dispensers either? In a week everyone will be nice and ripe, no space sex then... Crazy crap... Like not paying attention? Lack of water, mentioned... Food, mentioned... Toilet paper, they had a create if it. Since its a Ancent ship and they were pretty much Human I guess you could be sure of there being some kind of arrangements for showers/bathrooms/toilets Mentioned doesn't mean resolved. And they still go no showers... And in any case, most new tv premiere shows are nothing spectacular. Nothing more than character set up or some few expendables killed off. I looked back at the entire first season of Star Trek TNG and it was laughable compared to later years... Sigh lets see if you where stuck in a space ship with failing life support what be your first priorty? food, water toliet paper, showers or failing life support? Not that I am going to sing praises of the show just yet, but I did not see anything that would be a instant show stopper. Except for failing to realise you can push buttons remotely with floaty camera balls, just so they could kill off some old guy and give Little Miss Forehead something to be mopey about for a few episodes? ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.18 21:11:00 - [5] Originally by: Sazkyen After four painstakingly long and boring episodes I'm still waiting for something meaningful to happen. Wut? Loads of stuff has happened. Have you been paying attention? ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.21 13:09:00 - [6] I have to wonder how many of the negative opinions are from people disappointed that it isn't more like SG1 or SGA? I never really followed either that closely (never watched the Auri arc, and watched the rest in what was probably the wrong order), so I don't have any idea what Stargate should be. From that point of view, I'm actually rather enjoying it. Except the communication stones. They really need to put those stones out of an airlock because they're a clumsy plot device which ruins the whole "we're all alone out here" atmosphere. Instead of sending that pathetic Valker guy to help Rush, why didn't someone body-swap with Sam Carter or other similarly qualified expert back on Earth? They'd have got it fixed in no time at all. So, other than the blue stones, I like the series so far. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.21 21:11:00 - [7] Originally by: Clone 1 I agree, you do need space battles Why? From the looks of it so far, it's not about fighting external enemies, it's a survival drama set in space and it seems to be doing that very well. There's enough "omg we're all gonna die" tension without adding rubber forehead aliens into the picture. And my guess is you'll get your space battles soon enough. There was that McGuffin that flew off the ship at the end of ep3, no doubt that will result in an enemy spaceship showing up. Then the problem of the day will be "how do we fix the bleedin' guns". ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.21 21:49:00 - [8] Originally by: Gibbeous Moon I'm somewhat surprised to find that the ship wasn't able to scoop up some of that gas giant stuff for energy. It probably did, and now is flying towards the sun to pick up enough energy to kick start a fusion reaction in the collected hydrogen. The characters will be tearing their hair out at the thought of flying into the sun, then at the last moment, the FTL drive will kick in and they'll fly THROUGH the sun unscathed. Calling it now. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.24 19:02:00 - [9] DramaFiction set in space, agreed. But is that a bad thing? BSG pulled it off well, and I think SGU has made a good start too. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.24 20:46:00 - [10] Originally by: Toshiro GreyHawk You know what the writers are doing. They look at Reality TV and the voyeuristic attraction it has for people and they try to bring that to a Sci Fi show. I hate that. No. SGU does not resemble a reality show in any way, shape, or form. ____________________

ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.28 17:53:00 - [11] Originally by: Danton Marcellus Also the paranoia, why isn't anyone asking themselves that if he knew before hand, what was his gain from putting random people on a shuttle? He wants Destiny all for himself in the end? To what end, what is Destiny without other people? The only thing I can think of is that it's 17 fewer mouths to feed. But when you consider that he gave those 17 mouths all the food, it falls apart. Another possibility is like Young said in the previous episode: he's just starting fires so he can be the hero and put them out. It's a hell of a risk to take though, letting all those supplies fly away, as well as your only working shuttle. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.31 12:54:00 - [12] Another redshirt bites the dust. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.11.01 13:59:00 - [13] When they threw out the can of bees, how did they know they weren't going to fly straight back through the gate when Young and Scott dialed back? ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.11.14 17:27:00 - [14] Chloe died. Twice. Excellent. Unfortunately, it's a time travel episode so she'll probably get better. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.11.16 15:33:00 - [15] Originally by: Danton Marcellus Edited by: Danton Marcellus on 16/11/2009 15:24:39 Best episode so far yet they had to resort to time travel to pull it off, isn't that the last ditch effort? Ranked even lower than the 'Bobby is dead' dream?' No. Originally by: Danton Marcellus As for the creepy crawlers, same trap as in Pitch Black, what do they live on? Throwing an apex predator into the mix without an eco system makes for great action but only once I'd like to see someone having put some thought into it and give us a glimpse of these beasts without their current human diet. Unlike Pitch Black, there was a jungle with plenty of flora and fauna running around. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.11.16 18:30:00 - [16] It's a jungle, it's presumed to be there, otherwise the ecosystem wouldn't work. For a better explanation, consider that big animals like humans are very easy targets for these carnivores, and they've hunted everything bigger than a cat to extinction. The only animals left are too small to be noticed on camera, but still provide sufficient sustenance to support a population of wriggly carnivores. And it's a far more believable situation than the desert one in Pitch Black (which incidentally included a planet with parallel rings which isn't even physically possible). ____________________

ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.12.01 18:04:00 - [18] Originally by: Xen Gin mid-season breaks are for chumps Indeed they are. And they are incredibly irritating if your TV viewing is part of your weekly routine. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.12.05 19:03:00 - [19] Yeah I'm wondering how Rush is going to get back now. They can't just get rid of the only decent character in the show, right? My guess is he'll use the stargate to get ahead of the ship, wait for them to come through, then go back with them. ____________________
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.12.05 19:47:00 - [20] The spaceship won't fly, it had holes in it. The best he can hope for is to salvage a gate-dialling device from it. ____________________
