I've forgotten nothing! I already reported the post to the mods; it's them who's slow.

EDIT: Ah, see? It's changed now.

Back in early February, Carl and I wandered down to Stage 5 to check out the work in progress. After 11+ years as Stargate Command - gate room, control room, briefing room, and General’s office - it was finally undergoing a complete transformation. The control room and gate room, once separated by fictional wall, glass, and sliding blast doors, was now an open expanse, a metal walkway running from the nerve center directly through the gate. The surrounding corridors and control room had been given a new paint treatment, with touches of protruding rock suggestive of a rough and recent off-world construction. The upstairs briefing room had been emptied of its SGC trappings. Gone was that old table that served us well for countless years, chipped and scratched in so many places that directors were forced to choose their camera angles judiciously. The vast window that once looked down on the gate had been walled up. In a few short days, it would be a dining area. And, a month after that, the headquarters of Homeworld Command.

I was admittedly wistful. After all, I’d written for those standing sets for seven great years and, suddenly, they were gone. But eventually, as the new sets took shape, that initial melancholy gave way to excitement at the prospect of the upcoming Stargate: Universe series and the third SG-1 movie. Over the course of the next few weeks, the sets were finished and, as impressive as they were on those casual strolls, they were ten times more impressive once properly lit and engaged. And then ten times more impressive than that when we first saw them in dailies.

For now, I leave you with pics of the early stages of construction, Stargate Extreme Home Makeover - Phase 1.…

I love the look. The last photo made me really happy. I like the look so far from what I can see.

Notice what he said about Homeworld Command? Very, very interesting!

just hit me, what if the icarus base was on the planet where the two ships were designed, created and launched from and as such has lots of ancient tech and a special dhd

That has been a thought among many fans. It is possible. We'll have to wait and see.

I never thought of that. Cool idea though.

[Orion Antreas]

I never thought of that. Cool idea though.

I've seen the idea around the SGU section a few times. It is interesting and possible.

[Horcruxx]

Its very possible that Icarus is set on the Original Launch Pad of the Destiny and Seeding ship, that would explain the location of the base, one question will Daniel be the one that discovers the ships existence and if this is so, where did he get the info, on Atlantis ???
