Hi, Tracey!

Two episodes in a row with the use of video to introduce and flesh out characters seems like lazy writing to me. What do you guys think?

Or there may be some sort of rare element that it uses. The ship started running out of juice quickly because they were apparently trying to dial home and a bunch of stuff that wasn't shown on screen. I agree with you on the money aspect for the gravity.

Every Trek, BSG, etc. series has this inherent flaw. They simply don't have time/resources/ money to show the truth of gravity fading so that the crew has to float around. That's been done in at least one Trek movie, but most scifi shows just ignore that truth. And who knows: maybe the Destiny has some kind of gravity plating that doesn't require a power source? My biggest issue with the show was why the Destiny allowed itself to get so low on power? all the ship does is travel across space--why didn't it stop and refuel before this point? Surely it doesn't need a particular type of star? Does it matter if a star is yellow, blue-white, red, etc? That made no sense, nor did Dr. Rush not guessing the ship's purpose: I figured out what it was doing as soon as it sped around the gas giant. Were they implying that the ship is storing the star's radiative power, or actually brining in some of its plasma? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <HelloMahogany@ gmail.com> To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 1:32:56 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] SGU this week I am having problems with the logic of this show. If you loose power in space shouldn't you loose life support, and gravity too? You should freeze before you bake. Also, if you are taking the most vital supplies you take a cd player, and a book but not enough rations? -- Bringing diversity to perversity for over 9 years!
