Eli isn't going to fix it.

[blueray]

my theory is that after a day or so eli is going to realize that he can't do it on his own. and activate gin, with her program running it gives them less time to figure it out, but its worth it since the two of them would be working on it and he wouldn't be alone. and they will will fix the pod, and eli goes in.

or they find another way to stop the drones and then wake everyone up.

[droid327]

I dont know why Rush didnt volunteer to sit in the chair right off the bat. That's usually been his first reaction to dire situations this season. Plus, unlike Eli and Young, I doubt Rush cares about ever getting home or even leaving Destiny ever again, so its not like it'd make a difference if he was a hologram stuck in the computer

But of course Eli is going to fix it. He's got two weeks to pore through all the records etc. He's got his PdH, plus he can scavenge parts from the rest of Destiny as needed - there has to be other pods somewhere that maybe were nonfunctional but still have what he'd need to get the one pod active.

We see them solve problems in days or even hours. And this isnt even really a problem, its just fixing something thats broken. I bet he fixes it in 4 days, redoes his power calculations, and figures he easily has 2 or 3 days' worth of power to boot up Ginn and have some fun with the ship to themselves. Maybe set some practical jokes for Rush to discover when they wake up.

[the fifth man]

I am of the opinion that Eli will indeed fix the final pod. There is no way his character would have been killed off like that.

[Trinary]

If Eli can't fix the broken pod, there is another solution. Wake up James and modified her pod to support 2 peoples. It will be the best stasis moment for Eli...

[Trig]

But didn;t both him and rush confirm that it won't work once another command ship shows up?

Yes, but, and think back to SG1 here, would it not be possible to dial all the gates in that galaxy at once (something to do with gates dialing eachother up for periodic updates, cant remember the episode) and broadcast to each of the command ships that are at the local gate (we know that there is a command ship "at every gate between here and the edge of the galaxy"....

Granted Eli might not think of this as his gate knowledge is probably not going to include more technical stuff like that, and I doubt that Jacksons "Intro to the Stargate" video's covered that sort of thing...

[Trig]

Well I still havent seen the episode yet but I agree that killing Eli off would of been a no go, him fixing the pod on his own would have to be confined to the ship tho and him on his own due to not wanting to effect the ships power requirements.

I'd say he'd spend a while reading the "manual" for the pod and then go wondering around the ship and finding something that'd save the day, the fact that theres not really many in the expedition, on such a large ship, there seems to be very few pods, I'm guessing theres other pods around there somewhere or at least some sort of spares in one of the many rooms that haven't been explored yet.

Perhaps the idea was to have a Kino record the last few days of Eli's life with a few others on "seek" mode, one Kino comes back while Eli is essentially giving his goodbye speech, this Kino has found another room of stasis pods or something else life saving, Eli says c'ya later to the kino and goes off to see whatever this other kino has found, the crew once revived find the goodbye kino and presume Eli is dead, what they dont have is the seek kino which Eli uses to find whatever ends up saving his life. Queue the crew saying goodbye and having some sort of service, two weeks later Eli turns back up having come out of his stasis pod (he miscalculates his own stasis by two weeks as he had to manually enter the stasis time and forgot to include the two weeks that he had been on the ship and the rest of the crew had been in stasis)..

[Trinary]

Basically, destiny fates is on Eli's hand now. He could do pretty much anything such as wake up all the others except Rush, Young and Wray. He could make the younger generations of the crews to take charges of the destiny well being and make decisions to fit them in facing any threats.

[Nth Chevron]

But we know Eli wouldnt do that, as he has Rush's intellect and more, mixed with Youngs morality and then some of that too.

He is like the best of both worlds, without the military experience of Young. Or the PHD of Rush.

I dont knwo about James but she definitely has a PH - DD

N.C

[garhkal]

PH-DD.. man that was a laugh

[Dee_Too]

But didn;t both him and rush confirm that it won't work once another command ship shows up?

I don't recall that, though it makes sense. But they're vulnerable to software manipulation. Surely there's a master code to shut them down? I'd guess that Eli is a more than competent hacker. I'm remembering that Rush was concerned that Destiny was skipping so much of the galaxy, because all the experience mapped for them might affect the end of Destiny's mission. That they were picking up pieces to the puzzle on the journey, and missing pieces might mean failure. And then there are the dopplegangers' descendants, and they deserve to thrive. Destiny woke up the drones and the drones are attacking the galaxy they just left. This is a direct analogy to what happened in Pegasus, when Atlantis woke up the Wraith. And this time, the human population to be destroyed has DNA based on the Destiny crew.

So if there's any way to shut those drones down . . . or at least make them go dormant again . . . give the descendants a fighting chance . . . I think Eli will take it.

[garhkal]

Assuming by trying he does not dwindle the power reserves so baddly that the rest of the crew dies.

[Trig]

We'll find out in 3 years time when the series is relaunched I guess...





Well we can but hope..

I saw the rest of the crew come out of stasis and theres been some sort of incident on the ship, sections damaged, pods broken (covers cast members that cant come back for whatever reasons) and missing Eli..

[garhkal]

Yea we can.. BUT i would love it if it comes back sooner..

[Trig]

yeah I'd love it too, but with Syfyless being crap and MGM having had a hard time the best we could hope for would be a short "this is how he fixed it" series and then pick up from gauntlet mid 2014

[garhkal]

Although one bad thing... If they DO manage to bring it back, they will have to recall Every sold boxed set of season 2, to recast the cover, to remove the "Final season" moniker from them..

That would be a problem; but look on the bright side, you have a collectors item and you can show your friends how SGU could not be kept down. Even though bringing SGU back is a pipe dream, it's still nice to have dreams.

Personally, I'd like to think one of two things happens.

1) Eli fixes it but loses his frakking mind in the process
2) Eli fixes it and goes into stasis and season 3 begins with Destiny dropping out for a dial-in from Earth with Telford knocking on the glass of Young's pod like "Wake up sleepy head!"

What would be particularly awesome is if they did something where it takes WAY more than 3 years, Destiny recharges, never wakes them up, and Earth dials in with some sort of way to retrofit Destiny with ZPMs that we can now create and the crew has the most badass ship on that side of the universe.

Ahh... a guy can dream

/side note: do any of you guys subscribe to MGM or Syfy on Facebook? Neither of them---especially MGM---can even post anything to this day without getting bombarded with requests for more SGU. It's absolutely amazing to me because it never actually seems to be the same people...

Interesting ideas, but I'd like to see them wake up in the future in a space where the stones no longer work. They would have to solve the problems without extra help, which I believe they can. Eventually they somehow could reconnect with Earth. If they fully understood Destiny and accomplished the mission, perhaps they would be the ones to help Earth, instead of Earth saving them. I believe in the potential of ordinary humans, just another dreamer here.

But I do like # 1, haha

Not surprised by the FB responses, the Nielson ratings never reflect accurately, esp. genre like Sci-fi. (don't get me started...)

Heck no.. i refuse to face book anything. I don't have a FB page, account, Myspace account, twitter account etc...

And that is what reallly irks me.. That they based it on the flawed neilson ratings, when we proved a while back, not only was it popular in the US, but in many other countries....

[jelgate]

No it didn't. As much as I loved SGU it didn't perform well in any market
