Kobol's Last Gleaming Part I was also pretty damn good.

Starbuck having sex with Baltar and moaning Apollo's name was funny :p

She was a ***** for the rest of the episode though...

Baltar is doing an...interesting...job of fitting into his VP duties.

The Helo/Boomer loop should be interesting to see as well.

I have a question, though - in the preview (and during the episde) for Atlantis, there are a bunch of hive ships. Far more than two. Yet they continue to insist there's only two hive ships. :wtf:

Hive = Battlesihp/carrier hybrid=Ownage

there are also a couple cruiser type thing floating around the hive ships.

edit: they must all be carrying fighters.

Actually, the writers have gotten pretty good at plot twists.

I'm not making any bets on it even getting to Atlantis or surviving very long. :p

I've only seen the miniseries and the first four episodes of nBSG, but from what I've seen, it already kicks the crap out of the Stargates.

Though Atlantis gets a lot of bonus points for having McKay. Best. Character. Ever.

Well, maybe not, but certainly best character since B5.,

You can tell who survives based on the confirmed cast list and spoilers of other episodes, though... plus some odd stuff

Spoiler:

Shepard survives - I reckon he gets beamed away by the newly arrived Daedelus.
McKay, Beckett IIRc Weir all survive - so the city almost certainly does.
Ford gets abducted by the Wraith and turned into a sort of super-soldier... he's only a recurring character, though, rather than a regular.
It's likely the marine..er..officer dies, as  Mitch Pileggis' character takes over (possibly comes on Daedelus).

More wilds stuff that might happen apparently includes;
Asgard joins the series / team
They find another Atlantis-style city

Just on a totally different subject that cracks me up is that for a long time the tv presenter here used to pronounce the show Stargoat. Since there was an Å in it. As in Stargåte. Å is pronounced like an oh. Hence stargoat. Man, it still cracks me up. :lol:

Ahem.

:nervous:

Who was so goddamn retarded that he decided to turn the "a" in the "gate" into "å". HEY THIS SHOW'S NAME NOW LOOKS DYSFUNCTIONAL AND RETARDED TO 20 MILLION PEOPLE :V

Offhand, I think it's because the symbol used in the show for Earth, is an inverted V with the circle above.

I'm not sure if it's a genuine hieroglyphic, but the symbology is clear; a star above a pyramid.  Incidentally, one of the pyramids (red pyramids at Dashur) lines up in that way with the star Epsilon Tauri. (other pyramids also line up with stars in the same way).

In the original Stargate movie...the symbol of Abydos (the only gate address they had) was a pyramid with three circles.  The big mystery during the movie was what the return address to Earth was.  And thats the pyramid with a single circle above it.

The Atlantis logo harkens back to that...as does the Stargate SG-1 logo.  Symbol of home.

you know in the movie, when they got the partal address I never understud why they wouldn't simply try all of them, they have 6 out of 7 symbols, meaning there would only be trying each symbol on the gate once.

But that would take away all the fun...

Spoiler:
Turning Ford into a super-solider Wraith? Bah! He's supposed to be a main character, but I guess next season he's not?

Nope.  He's a 'recurring character', not a series regular.

Apparently, he gets kidnapped by the Wraith and turned into a sort of superhuman soldier, dependent on the wraith for an enzyme to survive (you'll note this idea was done in SG-1 before, with yon bounty hunter addicted to goauld drugs).  He escapes, kills a Wraith for the enzyme, and becomes convinced his new state holds the key to killing the Wraith.

Any idea when these episodes will air in the UK. 'cause as soon as they get them, we can get them off a torrent.

You two are complaining about people talking about a scifi show being nerdy on an internet forum.

You know what that makes you both? Nerds. :p

If the conversation doesn't interest you, then don't post in the thread. That simple. :doubt:

I am a nerd and all of my friends are nerds.  We like nerdy things.  We also like doing all sorts of things that buck the stereotype.  Like soccer and drinking...but I'm probably a nerd at those too because I like em, I know lots about em, and so forth.

Damn :D

Oh no, Ace, I am very interested in the topic.  I love watching people and reading their reactions.  Obviously, it's a little harder with such an impersonable medium, but I like a challange.  I just find that the general vibe coming from the replies reeks of nerd-dom.

I could not expect you to understand just what I am, using words.  These brutish grunts, translated into terribly basic data, are anything but able to convey the contents of the human mind.  So I will leave you with your perseption, and hope that it is not far from the truth.
