Was anyone else a little disappointed that not a single person from the Novus colony wanted to stay aboard Destiny? I would have thought that traveling across the Universe with the "Ancestors" would be tempting for some of them.

I know, right? Though... I'm not shocked. I mean, the Lucians were a cool way of getting a few people on board, and we got one character who's sticking around (Varro), one villain (Simeon) and a love interest (Ginn), and there was like fifty-odd of them after the Incursion widdled down to eight... Hell, even Telford coming back after the Incursion was shafted back home.
But here was a pretty golden opportunity for maybe two or three new recurring characters that could have a role involved in their beliefs in the mission being passed down, diluted over the years or smeared by the Futuran/Taneran conflict, or a character who wants to explore the galaxies, or... I don't know, I just think a few more additions would've tied the Novan plot up nicely and let it linger on, like Varro's presence reminding us of the Lucian plot. Jason and Ellie would've been cool, but they just sorta stopped appearing halfway through Epilogue. Kinda sucks.
So yeah. Probably my biggest complaint of the entire storyline: no new characters despite ample opportunity. Then again, given how screwed up the Lucian thing turned out to be for new crew members, maybe it's best we didn't get about a dozen Novans, one a really awesome female love interest for Eli whose killed by a shady Novan and the Destiny crew makes friendly with another Novan who later turns out to be the last one left after Mallozzi decides to kill them all off in one swoop on some filler episode.

Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN! ~

I was. Would have thought SOMEONE would have stayed. And if not for Rush's and Eli's convo, I would have thought that the two no-names in Scott's group were a couple of 'em.
And Rush's comment about how Destiny wasn't a passenger ship? Seriously? While the group of descendents weren't much to look at, how many of them could have been engineers or physicists? And, quite frankly, the actual crew of the Destiny are little more than passengers that fiddle with stuff on-board. If they had never come along, Destiny would likelyu still be trucking along through FTL, charting gates and recording radiation.

still kinda disappointed we didn't even see something like a very short scene with Ellie, Jason and Yazu saying good-bye to the crew, and Novans ( mm.. a bit weird to turn Novus' inhabitants into Novans, but it works.. ) going through the gate in the background.
But ow well.. there are bigger things to be disappointed about than that. Just would've liked at least more than 1 line of dialogue about it.
If anyone I would have wanted Jason and Ellie to stay. Ellie was cute. and Jason.. he sort of tagged along with her. What was their relation by the way? Brother-sister? dating? I assume they were in a relationship. I noticed that when the drones arrived in 'Common Descent', Jason put his arm around Ellie's waist like a protective gesture.Last edited by The Destiny; 03 May 2011, 06:26 PM.
