I am really starting to dislike Young and Rush.

Wouldn't the sensors have been able to detect the drones? We saw them all get destroyed in the sun. Now that they have control of Destiny's guidance, couldn't they just set it on "constant refuel" mode and get more than 40% reserves? With a Sun RIGHT THERE they could have continued refueling and been safe from the drone attacks as they were IN A SUN.Any sufficiently advanced race is indistinguishable from god.

"Son, when dad was little, we didn't have DVRs or fancy compact discs. Instead we had these bulky rectangles full of magnetic tape that we used to record things. They were just awful. No nice menus to pick scenes from, very clumsy rewinding and fast-forwarding. It was barbaric, I tell you!"
...ArchaeoNerd, resident Senior Citizen, who used VHS tapes to record SG1 and Atlantis, graduated to DVR to record SGU, and is now using iTunes because the DVR died. BTW I was glad to see Telford again (I was another who did YESSSS and a fist pump), I can't wait to see what the Ursini will be like, and I really hope that Chloe is doing something helpful and not calling her blue friends!

Originally posted by lars View PostI'm not a native english speaker, so forgive me if I don't fully understand what you're saying. Your point is that wing-ish space aircraft wouldn't make any sense in space, because of the forces created by the constant rotation ? I'd agree with that, but I understood your post that you were assuming a wing-less non-round shaped aircract would be vastly inferior to a flying egg.
Well, I probably made lot of mistakes in my previous message, because English is not my native language too So please bear with me.
My point was that I think round form is more suitable for doing things in space (like creating artificial gravity). I wouldn't call it more superior, but it clearly have some benefits.

I can see Rush actually believing that to the point that he'd have no qualms saying it out loud to someone else. It doesn't make it true, but it does make it true for Rush, which is always enlighteningsigpic

Originally posted by mizzoueng View PostI thought it was a good episode, but seemed to be lacking in some degrees.
The shuttle part I think had subtle hints to it. The suspected Urisini ship wasn't destroyed, but there were no bodies aboard. You would suspect to see bodies floating around. Granted there was a giant hole in the ship, but the doors were sealed and there should have been bodies. Where were they? Also, there was little damage inside the ship. A ship going through a battle should have debris inside and out from blown panels, circuits, etc. Makes me think the whole graveyard was a trap set up by the drones.
