"Stargate Universe" Discussion/Speculation (Spoilers)

[Eternal Density]

Tears of Neutrality... that's a catchy name. And it has two results from Google.

So, it averages out to a "tears of neutrality" sort of feeling, and you're waiting to see how SGU turns out? Splendid!!

Pretty much. I suspect somehow my reaction was somehow both of those emotions at once, which soon cased my brain to go "DOES NOT COMPUTE" and create a strong reaction without a clear opinion corresponding to it. So a had a very strong "0 net positive/negative" change after seeing it. Or something similar. And I think it made me queasy with uncertainty.

Its one of those trailers that you go "Oh my God! That was so incredibly... wait what was that? Well whatever it is, it's definitely a hell of a lot of it."

If there are two very strong equal and opposite forces acting on you, the net force is 0 but you're under a lot of stress or strain.

Then that's exactly it!

yes, i see now...
also do you reckon they will eventually make it back to earth given the power requirements to travel half way(?) across the universe

You want to go here: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=67641 to discuss that.

I have my doubts. If they do, it won't be by any direct route. I can see them Gate hopping between planets and galaxies which takes them in a direction ever nearer to Earth. I could see that taking years though. So many years in fact that it probably wouldn't even be the original Destiny crew of Young and co...but their adult children (or maybe grandchildren even?) carrying on the mission to survive and return to Earth.

Not sure I like that possibility, to be honest. I'd rather have Young and his crew returning to Earth rather than their descendants.

[hawkmajor]

so you're thinking of some kind of quest??

See I actually wouldn't mind that scenario, however there is a problem with that for me. To make it happen and for TPTB to show it happen would mean a considerable amount of time would pass before the descendants made it home, meaning that if a fourth series is ever created would it be made after the descendants return home?? If so that would suck, i like present day Stargate.

it might turn out like infinity if they set the last season in the future i.e cr*p

From Craig Engler's (Syfy) Twitter:

Got our first Awareness Report for Stargate Universe. 6 weeks out, awareness is very good so far. Knock wood...
about 2 hours ago from web

"Few respondents who had heard of Stargate Universe plan on not tuning in."

"Few respondents who had heard of Stargate Universe plan on not tuning in." = most who've heard of it WILL watch it, not the other way
about 1 hour ago from web

Q) @DavidBlue "awareness report"? A) Research puts them together to see how many people are aware of new shows, intend to watch, etc.

That's good news. I've never heard of an "awareness report" before, but it seems like an interesting tool.

Sounds like a marketing term. I wouldn't be surprised if its been around for awhile and something fandom is ignorant of.

I'm fairly positive that you're right. Or maybe...we're the only ones who've never heard of it?

[jelgate]

I never said I have never heard of the term
