I’ve been listening to the Gateworld Podcast for all of season 1 of SGU and two things occurred to me.
1) Rush said Destiny may be trying to find planets with things the crew needs but that is secondary to its primary mission thus the countdown (re: Air 2-3). In “Life†Rush finds the subspace signal from the seeder ships. So perhaps the reason Destiny has a countdown clock is so that it will never get out of range of the seeder ships. Destiny may give more time when it knows that the seeder ships are busy seeding vs. giving a little time when the seeder ships are on the move.
2) There’s this assumption that the gates are millions of years old and some should be buried. My question is, was there ever an indication for how long after the seeder ships destiny was sent out? I was thinking that it may only be 10 or even 100 years behind the seeders in which case the gates are still relatively new. If anybody has a quote to the effect of “thousands of years later destiny was sent to follow the seeder ships,†then please share, otherwise I don’t think it was stated.
I would appreciate any speculation that could confirm or refute this idea.
Thanks.
