SyFy: "Are you SGU fans done asking for a third season?"
SGU Fans: "WE'LL NEVER BE DONE!"
SAVE SGU! SGU CAMPAIGNS ARE UNITING AT SG:UNITE!
ACTION PLAN TO GET SGU SEASON 3!
I have gotten 15 people hooked on SGU. How many more can you get? ‎Spoiler:*beep*
Young: "What the hell was that?"
Eli: "It's Destiny letting us know it finished assembling the simulation. Either that or pi is done."

Shield(s). I always figured certain areas of the shields covering the ship would weaken and remain weakened.(Somewhat like a piece of armor) Rather than having the shields cover the entire ship equally, if an area of the shields were damaged then they would hold, but diminish under any additional fire.
In my opinion that makes more sense than having the shields covers 100 percent of Destiny for designated time, where one area of the ship could receive 100 percent of the fire and the entire ship's shield energy is depleted.

Flying into a star is different, too. The power requirements would steadily rise until the star powers the shields, whereas in battle, power requirements spike as they get hit, and energy is drawn from whatever source possible.
At least, that's the best explaination I can offer.

Sparks and shaking are annoying.
The captain saying "Seal off the affected areas!" is even more annoying. Any ship capable of traveling FTL is certainly capable of sealing off damaged areas as necessary long before any human could identify the problem, call a command so a subordinate and said lackey take the appropriate action. By the time the captain yelled "Sea..." it would have already been done.
That sequence should go more like "Sir, hull breach section 40C, sealed, 5 crew MIA, Emergency Response Team Bravo in-route."

Originally posted by Mozzza View PostYeah, that's true. But I did like in the latest episode where they showed the doors closing and the camera tracked backwards. I think it just adds to the drama.

If the sparks really affected you (I'm assuming that you are truely over your spark-phobia now as you said the posts here-within have cleared it up for you), then what do you think of cars "blowing up" in balls of fire on other shows? Thank God that any accident I've ever been in didn't end in my burning carcus having a fire extenguisher sprayed on it.
As for scientific explanations, I can't agree with the light bulbs bursting because we haven't seen the storage area with all the millions of extra light bulbs needed every time (almost as elusive as the bathroom scenes). I however don't find fault in the theories concerning the shield's and other wiring within the walls drawing too much power for their frayed state. Though I can't foresee how said sparks would be flying from within the walls into the corridors.
Just a rant to get me off the other topicssigpic
