Sat, October 17, 2009 - 4:04 PMYup! Does that mean SGU is actually BSG 3.0?

Re: BattleStarGate
Sat, October 17, 2009 - 4:17 PMRight now, I'm still thinking of it as BattleStarGate: Voyager
but the melodramatic music swells, the one-word episode titles "Air", "Darkness", the character driven drama.... its all adding up to BSG. I mean, really, if there were enough people who actually liked BSG, wouldn't it still be on? *sigh*
Maybe they are out of ideas. Digging into a dog like BSG for ideas is not conducive to confidence in the show. -

Sun, October 18, 2009 - 4:52 AM"BattleStarGate: Voyager" Wish I'd put them together like that. I'm still waiting for a character worth liking.

Naw, having given up faster than light travel, modern medicine, electricity, refrigeration and more for a life wondering some planet as bug ridden hunter gatherers a battlestar 3.0 would revolve around weekly battles over who gets to groom 6 for lice and if meat with green fuzz on it tastes better than black fuzzed meat.

Mon, October 19, 2009 - 11:15 PMI'm seeing those similarities but more on the Voyager side than BSG.
I wonder though what a BattleStarGateTrek series that was made of all of the original series (no spinoffs or reboots) would look like? -

Tue, October 20, 2009 - 2:44 AMBrian, somewhere I have the rules, and the parts to play Cosmic Nuclear IlluminOpoly. I've never played it. Though we did nonce try nuclear Illuminopoly (Nuclear war, Illuminati, and Monopoly). It took 6 hours just to get the thing set up.
No,
Some things are NOT worth knowing....

Re: BattleStarGate
Sat, October 24, 2009 - 7:12 PMI was thinking the whip around the planet to pick up acceleration a classic star trek maneuver, although star trek used a sun. -

Re: BattleStarGate
Sun, October 25, 2009 - 12:39 PMThe Star Trek slingshot manuevers were to travel back in time (or vice versa) though.
Besides, wasn't this manuever in SGU to make a course change AND slow down as opposed to gain speed?
Sas
there was a quiz at the end of the thread : ) -

Re: BattleStarGate
Sun, October 25, 2009 - 12:40 PMOh, D'oh. You're talking about the shuttle's manuever, not Destiny's. I get it.

Re: Slingshots
Sun, October 25, 2009 - 7:44 PMDestiny whipped through a gas giant to slow down but the shuttle did the same thing to speed up, as I recall.
NASA has used the maneuver for several missions, but it's unclear to me if it was for speed or trajectory. -

Re: Slingshots
Mon, October 26, 2009 - 10:17 AMAs I recall, Destiny passed through the gas giant to refuel, but there was no whipping involved. -

Re: Slingshots
Mon, October 26, 2009 - 1:39 PMNegative, Destiny aerobraked through the gas giant, and skimmed the sun to refuel. -

Tue, October 27, 2009 - 8:04 AMIn atmosphere, you get slowing. Not in atmosphere, you get slingshot. -

Re: Slingshots
Wed, October 28, 2009 - 6:02 AMThis latest episode reminds me of the Space: 1999 episode "The Black Sun."

Re: BattleStarGate
Fri, October 30, 2009 - 10:21 AMIts not whether a plot is old or new, but how well you tell it. All stories have been told in one version or another. Stargate Universe has not distinguished itself yet. -

Re: BattleStarGate
Sat, October 31, 2009 - 3:20 PMI say the claim that all stories have been told in one version or another is just a sign of limited imagination. But whatever the case, that episode did remind me of "The Black Sun." -

Okay....
the Usual Suspects...
Go. -

Re: BattleStarGate
Sat, October 31, 2009 - 8:17 PMThe Usual Suspects?
Okay.
Honest procurator, it was Drucillus Maximus. Who is Drucillus Maximus? He is supposed to be Assyrian. Some say his father was Germanic. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Pontius Arelius tell it, anybody could have worked for Maximus. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick he ever pulled was convincing the empire he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.
I can see that : )
