Yeah i'm wating to watch it on TV, something more exciting about watching it on tv vs DLing. got it set on IQ as well :D
Ian Robinson

When does it come to Seven or Ten ?
Or am I going to have to wait for it to be made available on DVD and hire the DVDs to watch it then ?
Esseth

I'm assuming like all Sci-fi in Australia it will be on DVD long before it airs on free to air TV IF it ever gets on to free to air lol.
Remember a little show called Farscape? one week its on at 4pm in the afternoon next week its 2am.

Defying Gravity is still airing in Canada and episode 10 has been released there. But in the USA they have put it on hold, due to be rescheduled. There is a lot of rumors flying around about the shows future. But I can confirm episode 10 has been aired.
SGU looks promosing, but the intro did not really hook me. I was enjoying Atlantis and am disapointed it has been canned. Lookin forward to the movie releases.
Wish there was something new on the horizion for Start Trek. Maybe based on the new movie where they future has now significantly changed with Vulcan destroyed. Will this mean a new sequence of movies for the TOS charecters? Again i was enjoying Enterprise which also was cut short.
SCIFI shows do not seem to be lasting as long as they once did.

Speaking of Defying Gravity, I saw it being advertised on Foxtel's Arena channel on the weekend which I thought was interesting. In fact I think the first episode was on tonight.
As for Stargate Universe, I've never really been into the whole "Stargate" thing, although I know some guys at work who are HUGE fans. But I think I might give this one a go.
Netwolf, I agree with you wholeheartly on the Star Trek series. I only just recently got back into it and I loved it. Watched Enterprise for the first time towards the end of last year and I thought it was great. And Voyager (which actually inspired me to get into Astromony) I watched at the start of the year and I picked up where I left off when it first came out (about Season 4) and thoroughly enjoyed it.
But alas, I just don't think TV is interested in Sci Fi anymore. :mad2:
Julian, while we are on the subject, and I've been meaning to say this for some time now.... brilliant avatar mate! :thumbsup:
Haha, Patrick Stewart made that look so believable.
Saw that shot somewhere else on tv recently, might have been on 20to1 or some show like that.

Do you mean its more exciting on television compared to downloading in terms of the risk factor in missing the episode or do you mean more exciting because its on your television set as opposed to a smaller PC monitor?
If its the latter, join the 21st century mate :D Get yourself a media streamer so you can watch your downloaded content on your big plasma screen. :D
perhaps 'Flash Forward' will turn out to be SciFi and not another terrorist/government conspiracy show.
I suspect, though, that the writers don't actually have a clue about where the show will lead, similar to "Lost".
or do you mean you like the anticipation each week? rather than the instant gratification that downloading brings.
certainly, my friends with small children, feel this way about TV shows and downloading. Waiting for a show to air is something they look forward to each week.

Want to know why SciFi shows don't last as long, Fahim...
Not enough gratuitous sex or insanely grotesque violence
No "dumb blondes" in bikinis
No "reality TV" based moments
It involves some science (yuk, weird stuff!!!)
No banal or pathetically obvious storylines
Esseth
08-10-2009, 02:17 PM
Yeah, it's the wait and the anticipation. I could have DLed Dollhouse when it was airing, but i liked waiting for each episode, gives you more time to think about it rather than just "next".
I just think DLing can make you a tad jaded about what is good and what isnt, people dont let things sink in nowdays its just next next next.
Tends to be the easier something to get, the less significant it becomes.
I DL things when
a. it isnt available in Australia (or will be a year or two wait)
b. if i've already seen it, but wasn't that into it that i bought it on DVD or
c. a second or third season of something i have not seen is starting to air and i want to catch up before it starts.

So will there be anymore defying gravity shows after no. 10 which I have seen.
Ive seen the opening SGU episode too, I enjoyed it, and eagerly await more, and hug my ADSL connection for making it possible for me to see them :)

can download them from mininova (http://www.mininova.org/)
Type in the show youre after. Note, list them in order of "seeds" and get the shows wit the most seeds to ensure a reliable download
First though you need a torrent program like this (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php)
Ian Robinson
09-10-2009, 10:22 PM
I've been resisting using Bittorrent and torrent programs , but TV is so hopeless lately. Been wondering what torrent program was the best.
Since you recomment Vuze , I've installed it and am downloading SGU 1-1 and SGU 1-2.
Will put them on a CDR or DVDR for later viewing , looks like it takes ages to download these torrents , a job to do in the backgound even on ADSL...
TrevorW
10-10-2009, 11:48 PM
Utorrent
Some sticky questions
If it was supposedly an unmanned ship why was the life support system nearing depletion as the SGU arrived on board
If the ship only stopped off to plant stargates throughout different Universes how was it damaged prior too the the SGU team arriving as it's protected by a FF during flight
Do the maths the ship is an FTL ship, the SGU team are stranded several billion light years from home the ship was apparently launched by the ancients 100000 years ago, thats one fast FTL ship
Now for a real posser who or what and why was a shuttle launched from the ship at the end of the 3rd episode
What happened to the 2 other team members who gated to a different world while on the dessert planet
Ian Robinson
11-10-2009, 11:59 AM
Downloaded it, took all day to torrent it , over 2GB = the frist two eps.
UNWATCHABLE - sounds OK, but the video is hopeless .:sadeyes:
So much for that , guess I'll have to wait for the DVD.
TrevorW
11-10-2009, 01:08 PM
Go here
EZ TV- http://eztv.it/
use Utorrent- downloadable just Google
two versions HD and SD
HD are 1 gig files or thereabouts
SD are only 350meg and with broadband will take only an hour or so to download
Cheers
Ian Robinson
11-10-2009, 05:59 PM
I downloaded the HD version (combined ep1 and ep2) , couldn't get it play on my lappy , videocard caching issues ??? or slow video response ??? (almost watchable setting the cache at 70ms , gave up and tried the desktop (bigger RAM and better video card (?)) , didn't have to mess about the caching rate , just needed to tell it to play STEREO... once I installed VLC Media Player.
Was a 2.2GB (HD) MKV file ..... needed to download VLC Media Player to view it , as Windows Media Player spat the dummy , so did InterVideo . Too about 14hrs to download.
Will download the SD version if I can find it and compare with the viewing quality on my 19" screen.
Gave me something to watch other than crappy vision and zoomzooms on TV , and weather was not nice for fishing.
Looked OK on the 19" 1280x1024 Samsung 5ms screen. Would have been nice to view it on the 15" 1400x1080 Dell Lappy screen in comfort in my loungeroom rather than on the office chair.
Wanted to copy the ep1 + ep2 merged file to DVD but for some reason my DVD burner on the desktop wont let me.... maybe these MKV files from Vuze are protected ??? :shrug: ??? .
Ep1 and Ep2 were OK , too many flash backs . A lot of character development . Then it was the same for SG1 and SG Atlantis.
Looking forward to when Ep3 is there to be downloaded and viewed.
Thinking of downloading ANDROMEDA , I believe there are 4 seasons of that to see and we'll never see it here in Australia , either on FTATV or DVD.

As someone who as legitimately purchased Stargate SG-1 Seasons 1 through 10, and Stargate Atlantis Seasons 1 through 5, I will be waiting untill Stargate Universe comes out on DVD to purchase that too... I watched the initial episodes on Foxtel, and thus far, I don't think its up to the same high standards set by SG-1 or Atlantis, however it does have potential... I've set up series link on Foxtel IQ, so it records every ep even if im not home at the time, so I'll watch the lot, and still buy it on DVD just so I have the complete collection on DVD...
Regards, Massive Stargate Fan.

OK .... S01E03 , The Desert Planet.
The ancient ship somehow knew to stop and park itself near a planet that had previously been seeded by robot scout ships with a stargate and the only thing of use is some lime at a dry (or not so dry) ancient lake or sea bed .
Yeh.... right.
More flash backs.
Ancient extragalactic instanteous psychic communication devices that allow the marooned humans to communicate one at a time with people back on earth (by somehow swapping consciousnesses .... ) that's stupid.
Dust devils that like water , and soak it up and stalk the stroppy Lt , and when he is dehydrated, somehow make water well up through the sand that's (off cause) drinkable.
The ghost of a priest who appears out of nowhere and we get more dammed flashbacks , and learn the Lt was thinking of becoming a priest ??
What the heck happened to the 3 members the away team who gated to another world (against orders from the desert world) ?
S01E01 and E02 .... 7/10
S01E03 ................ 6/10
I hope things become more interesting from E04 next week.
Will continue downloading it , I've given up on Seven and Ten , and refuse to pay through the nose for SCIFI-TV on payTV ,and don't hold out much hope of this Series coming out on DVD any time soon.
TrevorW
12-10-2009, 09:25 PM
Indeed Ian more questions than answers
the stones are a laugh considering the distance they are apparently from Earth instantaneous communication over galactic distances a little bit too far fetched in my book
Jules76
12-10-2009, 10:29 PM
According to IMDB, there are 3 more episodes to go which should be coming out shortly. The ABC in the US hasn't shown Ep 10 yet, so they'll be starting with that with the rest to follow Friday night's so I've heard. Beyond that who knows.
Really sucks as we are only going to get to see them go to Venus (Episode 12) and then that's most likely going to be it for the planets. I was really looking forward to the Mars mission considering the events which happened 10 years ago, and the likelihood that they will find the crewmembers they left behind all those years ago.

STARGATE UNIVERSE...Looks as if it's for people who don't understand sci/fi. Has too much Battlestar Galactica moments with the dodgy camera work and over dramatised moments. I'm going to try and hang on a little as I beleive they might actually realise if they continue with it the way it is, they will loose an entire generation of stargate whatchers. If the continuing episoide is anything to go by, then each ep will be like sitting down for an hour to watch what SG1 did in 15 minutes. The cast is also looking dogy as well...It took a bit of getting usded to watching children at the controls of the enterprise in the New Star Trek movie...I was eventually won me over with the excellent recreation of the whole thing...Stargate universe seems to be lacking in a big way...It's a big gamble with all this comprimise to win over new audiances...still a litte early to call...
As for the comment on "
Not enough gratuitous sex or insanely grotesque violence
No "dumb blondes" in bikinis
No "reality TV" based moments
It involves some science (yuk, weird stuff!!!)
No banal or pathetically obvious storylines "
Go watch Battlestar Galactica...you'll get plenty of that there...less of course you want to watch the 70's series...who knows...if things keep going the way they are with Stargate, I'm sure after they ware out this one, it will have all that crap on offer the year after.
Perhaps your right about todays audiances wanting all that crap...(sarcastically so)...if your typical Sci/fi channel is anything to go by, then it would make sense. They really seem to be mixing all the genres way too much.
As stand alone movies go though...& considering my aprehension with all the BS in Sci/fi these day...It's nice to know when done right-a wider audiance can be brought togeather-The new Star Trek Movie proved that one to me.
If you liked Stargate SG1 & Atlantis-don't hold your breath in the opening scenes or following episodes-may be time to start watching re-runs with all the bells & wistles...We definatley looking into blu-ray relaeses (despite earlier productions) for the entire Stargate SG1 & Atlantis series. Whats all this talk about "Torrents" Pirate bay seems to be shut down now? Can we even discuss Torrents & the type of this site or any...or am I missing the content in which your sugesting it?
Davekyn
17-10-2009, 11:06 AM
Interesting point Trevor,
The wife and I thought that was the only entertaining/interisting & thought provoking moment in that episode...took long enough though. Lets hope we can start to see more of these moments happen throughout an episode rather than having to wait an entire hour. ;)
LOL...at least the stargate can be used to boot the cast as the show rolls on...Heheheheee
toetoe
17-10-2009, 02:31 PM
I think this series will be good just like the others were, perhaps it may seem to be a bit slow for some of us but we all have different viewing tastes. It is annoying though when you have an episode recorded or downloaded ready to watch at your leisure and people spoil it for you before watching it.
Ian Robinson
17-10-2009, 02:45 PM
Were they , I don't remember seeing them back onboard. Must have missed something.:shrug:
Maybe they gated straight back to the ship once they when on their unauthorised excursion :confused2:
I'll have to watch the relevant parts of the ep again. (Good thing I have it on the HDD).
Ian Robinson
17-10-2009, 02:54 PM
That's what I thought too.
I had the impression they were abandoned , the ship jumped to warp before they could tracked down , even if the rest of the away team could hit the redial button and go to the same planet , there seemed no attempt to try.
Yep .... I saw that little ship shoot through too .... thought it was a shuttle (the damaged one also sits on the outside of the hull) ... why ?? pretty dumb of the ancients to do that I reckon.
Maybe it was automated and sent by the ship to rescue the guys who were abandoned.
Or some nasty aliens were piggy backing and have gone to get their buddies.:shrug:
Rod66
17-10-2009, 03:39 PM
I agree with some of the above comments. Having been an avid stargate fan from the first SG1 episode, I'm used to my sg teams being able to solve any problem, come through unscathed and face up to the meanest aliens. If there is any technical issue, then just let Samantha or Rodney have a go at it and interface a laptop to 100000 year old superior technology in 15 minutes under pressure of death. Yep thats Stargate to the core.
Now all of a sudden we have a bunch of civililians and marines that don't even rate on the combat capability scale, all thrown together onto some busted ship and it takes them 3 episodes to get the air scrubbers working. Sheesh, its going to be a long dry run if this series doesn't quicken the pace. They served us up heroes, brainiacs, humour and alien crushing battle scenes for over 10 years and now we have to go with a bunch of losers in a dark and deary place where everyone hates each other and mind numbing simple puzzles to solve. If I wanted that, I'd go and watch a season or 2 of survivor...
I'm adopting a wait and see attitude..It can't get any worse can it?
Rod
Davekyn
17-10-2009, 06:04 PM
Sorry if we ruined it for you...not half as bad as what the producers did to many of us that used to like it...The problem is that they are trying too hard for all the different tastes...Guess I better not tell you what happens in the next ep hey? :)
Greg Bryant
17-10-2009, 09:38 PM
Must say that episodes 1-2 weren't quite what I had anticipated. Flashbacks just messed with the flow.
Episode 3 was much better, though I hope they don't use the arm in the event horizon too many times to stop the clock...
Rod66
17-10-2009, 10:19 PM
Episode 4 doesn't seem to have improved anything, in fact they seem to be toying more with weird camera angles and are we going to have to have EVERY episode hanging...
I can't stand the computer games kid who seems to have become the ancient spaceship genius understudy - is that supposed to provide credibility to every game playing geek out there that thinks success will come from playing computer games all day rather than hard work and study?
You can tell I'm not warming to this show at all..there are so many dysfunctional things happening, its a mess.
Rod
Ian Robinson
19-10-2009, 02:17 AM
OK ....
The Hd Scientist spits the dummy ..... sleep deprivation , stress , and caffine and nicotine withdrawals and everyone hates him (the feeling is mutual it seems .... one antisocial SOB) . Saw that coming.
Ship runs out of power .... what no spare zero point modules on board ?
no backup naqahdah (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/wiki/Fictional_materials_in_the_Stargate _universe#Naqahdah)eum enhanced nuclear power generator, and no backup means of collecting hydrogen from planetary atmospheres to power a backup sublight speed propulsion system, how remiss of the ancients .... not as smart as we think they are.
And the mystery spaceship that let go of the hull and bugged out at the end of ep3 is not explained , or it seems is even noticed by the humans. Mmmm.
Gotta wait til next week to if the nerdy math-boy gets the pretty rich prom queen girl or if they can get bootstart the space ship before it gets too close the that white dwarf star. He's certainly racking up those browny points with her.
Don't think much of a commander who leaves his post in the midst of a life and death crisis to make up with his wife ....

19-10-2009, 02:36 PM
Reminds me of another SciFi series - BSG , only their's no jewish mythology thing going on in STU (not made by Hollywood but the Canadians ... thanks for small mercies).
I also detested Lost, only watched it because my wife was hooked , and I think SGA came on after it.
I watched the first few eps of BSG (the "rew" series) and wrote it off , I don't waste my time watching it when it airs now and wont waste my download quota on that one.
SG1 or SGA , SGU is not. I hope the story lines improve soon else I'll be writing this one off.
Isn't about time they sent one of those ancient communication devises to Sam Carter and got her in on the act of helping fix the ship , rather than using them for reports to military superiors and for private stuff ?
Ian Robinson

Lets see :
7 coordinates = + and - xaxis , + and - yaxis , + and - zaxis inside the galaxy of origin and distance
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f8/StargateCoordinates.svg/180px-StargateCoordinates.svg.png
8 coordinates = all the above and key to the Pegasus galaxy (only one location ? = Atlantis)
9 coordinates = the ship or ships like it , you'd think the ancients would send out more than one "base" ship into deep intergalactic space.
10 coordinates = next series idea might be time travel + or - direction
11 coordinates = another series to parallel universe travel ....
.... if I got that wrong , not a superfan of SG so I don't remember all the ins and outs of it.
kustard
19-10-2009, 03:22 PM
Yeah, I loved the original BSG, grew up with it as a kid, but the new one I just couldn't get into... too much drama and not enough pew pew ;)

24-10-2009, 10:22 AM
I'm trying very hard to like this thing they call Star Gate universe, however after we eventually recovered from the sicklly feeling all that camera work did to us, we simply ran out of energy to "hang in there" with the continuing SAGA...I was hoping this ep would have all the "bonding" done and we could finaly start a few missions or SOMTHING!...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...Oh well...considering everything else on the SCI-Fi channel is crap, I guess we have no choice...I guess we'll just keep watching until somthing better comes along & just hope they change the pace a little. PLEASE STOP THE DIZZY CAMERA WORK...a 3 year old could do better on a roller ladder!
Ian Robinson
28-10-2009, 12:19 AM
Torrented Ep 5 :
You guessed it, the ship making a d-line straight through a star was just a pit stop and the ships fields protected it (all energy diverted to the shields apparently).
No surprises there.
Mathboy still interested the dead senator's little miss princess daughter.
Again the Colonel failed to act like a real leader . and just chooses 2 key people (a pilot and a medic) and then the rest of the 15 survivors are chosen by "random lottery" ....
Ep.6 has no lead up cllmatic event ....
Looking at the official site, looks like Ep6 will be more of the same .
Ep7 sounds promising.

Basically its still takes a very long time before anything entertaining happens. It's getting there, very VERY SLOWLY. Ever notice when an add comes on for SG1 or Atlantis, how the PACE picks up really quickly with plenty of Adventure, Action & Humor!!! Catch yourself thinking "now that's Star Gate!!! ...SGU is still "wanting"...although good old MacGyver is in the next ep...The Battle star Galactica over dramatic antics really suck-The GOON soldier is a Toss!-I'd love to see Tilk cross paths with him...Actually...that's how I'd compare the two shows...Until next episode...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ and during it ZZZZZZZZZZZ ;)

At least Math Boy & BooHoo girl got off the ship for a bit. LOL @ when the soul stones malfunctioned…Lou couldn’t get enough and had to come back for more. I wonder if his going to act the part to find out what’s really going on.
Seems to be worth watching for all the *****ing I’ve done. There easing up on the camera antics, and actually going to have a fire fight next ep. Maybe there is hope yet ;)

im a huge stargate fan. I have every season of stargate sg1 and atlantis. However i dont like Stargate Universe at all. The stories are boring and the acting is shocking.
Ian Robinson
15-11-2009, 01:57 PM
Finally a good episode with nasty wee beasties that attack people at night and live in holes in the ground , some wormhole time travel (the the past), and an interesting plot.
Bit disappointed the ancient's intergalactic lifeboat didn't have nano-filtration on the water recycling / purification system and no one saw the biological contamination from the ice planet water coming though.
Hope for STU yet.

1 word from me about the whole season so far....Disapointed
Ian Robinson
22-11-2009, 03:48 PM
Ep9 is crap ....
Back to personal use of those comm stones (was most of the story in this case .... and nothing interesting happened ....
Oh they found a learning chair .... big whoop .... and the hd science guy says he has found a way of identifying where the robot gate builder ships planted gates.
And people being physically trained to the point that they are spewing (you even get to see this .... ) .... what the hell are the script writers thinking ....
None of this crap is the least bit interesting or in line with what we hoped we'd out of a new Stargate series..... nor does it add anything worthwhile. Too much like Battlestar Galactica (the rehash) .... that's crap too , and I gave it the flick very early into Series 1.
Rod66
22-11-2009, 05:29 PM
Totally agree Ian. If I wanted to see the failings and shortcomings of everyday humans, I just watch the news, read the papers or walk outside.. I don't expect it to also form part of my entertainment. How can anyone call this drivel entertainment?? In fact its so bad, it makes you wonder why the writers would ever believe the USA would send miserable idiots through a top secret stargate in the first place. Eipsiode 9 is the kind of episode you have as a gap filler in later seasons, not 9 episodes into the first season...can this show last a ssecond season?

Just saw STU advertised on TV as "exciting programs coming soon" (on TEN ???) , just before I hit the off button the TV's remote , crud all on in the avos so not worth having the TV on.
In the new year I guess .... I don't think I'll be going out of my way to watch it on TV if there is something better on elsewhere or something better to do (ie go fishing for squid, prawns, crabs or jewfish at night), or set up the telescopes and camera for a session if it clear, moonless and still , or go dancing..

Or it will be moved to the early morning (off peak) time slot (after 1am) so only the die hards will watch it , with stacks of phone sex adverts, anti-limpness product adverts, and phone download adverts ....

I was pleased to see BOO HOO girl bite the dust, but am worried some miracle will happen and she will come back to life. It was good to see the pace pick up "a little" but fear it's still toooooo slow.
My wife likens the whole series to what Deep Space Nine did to StarTrek. Ds9 although it has it's followers, Very much changed the way in which StarTrek was viewed by it's audiences. I think it was regarded more of a Dark serries and the away missions were much fewer with a LOT more DRAMA. I'm an avid startrek fan and felt this way at first, however was eventually won over simply to fill in my TV time.
I was bitterly disappointed with this new series of stargate & still am regardless of the last episode. I will however keep watching as I'm saving up the old SG1 serries & Atlantis for Bluray...I'm all start treked out!!!! Years and Years of exsposure...There is simply nothing else in SC/Fi worth watching...well for me that is. I not into fantasy...not the way it's presented on sci/fi & felt sorry for some of the SG1 actors that went down that patch. Maybe there will be some good ones come out soon enough though...sci/fi without the weird looking fluffy faced actors playing super hero's...you know what I mean.
I did like Fire Fly...I thought that was different but not as screwed up as many of the others. I got the movie Serenity & the series on Bluray in HDMA (sounds fantastic and looks really great!) My fear is that they will have run a series short like Fire Fly, but will let this new crap SGU run.
But like I say...given the sate of SCI/Fi showing today...I'll probably end up watching it...can only hope I guess.

DS9 was hopeless .... too much religion and hokuspokus , really didn't like the series .
Fire Fly was also rubbish (it was a western set on space).
Boohoo girl (the pretty sorority princess) and everyone else comes back to life in ep9 , it's as if in ep9 that ep8 never happened.

Good thing for me I like westerns...I read a good sci/fi book about the the Rim of Space which I think fire fly was based on.
Yea LEX has is moments...how about RED Dwarf...:)
Abracadabra...hehe ;)

Red Dwarf is purile and stupid .... but it's also full of dark humour and is funny.
I like it in small doses ....

LEX has been a good watch, thanks for reminding me about it!!!
Was not surprised to see SGU drop...it should of been presented in a different light...Although somewhat disapointed it SLOWLY became watchable with the hope of actually going somewhere, but given the SAGA........I don't think so.........I hope you all catch your downloads and enjoy ;)
Gone blank ... but whats LEX?
