He and Greer will get angry pounding the LA into a bloody mess

[Tielster]

I'm sorry, Jelly, but I don't think that had the desired effect.

That's the stare of Hawtness right there.

:: flails ::

mmmmm... Greer. Scott is skinny and talks funny. Blech.

[MattSilver 3k]

Good point. If his running mate is Riley, go for Riley.

[PG15]

I'd vote for him.

Well, he'd definitely show plenty of anger.

[Eternal Density]

Well, F*** you!! Need a translation?

You want to have my babies?

Um... BAG for president!

2. Is there a chance of getting a Q&A with Lou Diamond Phillips?
3. Is there a chance of getting a Q&A with Robert Knepper?”

Answer: At least one of those is more than likely.

Answers: 1. Unlikely. [...]

Kevin writes: “(1) I thought it was established that Naquadria was some kind of isotope of Naquadah in the sense it didn’t occur naturally. (ie. the bomb on Kelowna created more Naquadria). Are these ‘Icarus’ planets somehow naturally occuring ‘now’? Or were they the product of Anubis getting the info from Quinn and then testing it out? And only ‘now’ are people discovering his old testing grounds? (always wondered about that).”

Answer: Yes, we’ve established that Naquadria is not naturally occurring. The assumption is that these are old testing grounds abandoned since the fall of the goa’uld.

I'm still more interested into the baby making part than actually having those offered by others. So keep your own.

Um... BAG for president!

At least something we can all agree on.

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Um... BAG for president! BAG for emperor of the multiverse!

Fixed it for ya.

[Eternal Density]

Fixed it for ya.

Thanks!

In other news: comparison between SGU and BSG (and several other things) done right: http://reflectionsonfilmandtelevisio...-universe.html
(And I never thought I'd say that as I'm sick of such comparisons done wrong.)

I think one of the reasons why SGU hasn't been doing superbly in the ratings is the lack of overarching mysteries in the show being treated on screen. There are interesting questions to be asked: why was destiny created, why has it been forgotten, is there a hidden purpose behind its mission? These questions are out there, yet they weren't treated on screen. I see no possible clues for later episode arcs to expand on.

To be frank SGU has been a bit parochial. Small stories like omg we need water or omg we're caved in are all well and good but I miss a big story to keep me captivated. While I would continue to watch SGU if it stays this way it's only because it's stargate. If it was an ordinary show I doubt I would be too interested in the days of our lives stories of a bunch of marooned folks who happen to be on a spaceship instead of some tropical island and are confronted with smurfs instead of pirates.

I do have to admit you may on to something. Aliens pretending to be gods are coming to kill everyone and aliens that are like vampires are coming to kill everyone is more exciting than repairing a ship. But I'm confident that now that the intro S1 is over we can get into some exciting stuff come S2, not that S1 wasn't exciting or anything.

People seems to forget that a lot of things happened in the first season of SG1 that were left unanswered until many seasons later.Is it okay to being lenient for SG1 but not for SGU which is still at its first season ?

I have to agree with this to. I started watching SG-1 at season 9 and catching up on everything and started watching Atlantis fully when it was in season 2. So I don't really know what it was like when each started out.
