SG-U – The Greater Good - (2x07) - (Discuss – Grade | SPOILERS)

I'm gonna make a weird prediction for tonight's episode that will probably end up being completely wrong.

Can't say exactly how it's gonna come about, but I think Ginn won't really be dead and somehow Ginn and Perry are going to wind up sharing the same mind, setting up a love triangle between Ginn/Perry, Rush and Eli.

Sounds better than the replicators coming back. LOL

The universe is expanding in all directions. There is no "center" from which we are expanding. It's why you find the background radiation left over from the Big Bang everywhere.

Dammit, I was absent that day in astronomy.

Maybe a lot of little baby bangs (to steal a line from Buckaroo Banzai).

I've heard Perry might be back in the SGA crossover episode, but I'm not sure if that would be her just being in flashbacks or she's on Destiny again.

By definition, every point in the universe could be described as "the initial point of the big bang". There's no need to go anywhere to get there.

How does that work for the physics of "constantly expanding"? There must be a central point of expansion FROM.

The universe is expanding in all directions. There is no "center" from which we are expanding. It's why you find the background radiation left over from the Big Bang everywhere.

Put another way, in order to have a notion of a "center of the universe", you would need some coordinate system outside the universe. We don't have one.

At the time of the big bang, the entire universe was a single point. Not occupied a single point----was a single point. Now it's more than that, but every part of it is still a bit of space which used to be in that point.

There's an SGA crossover special??

There's an SGA crossover special??

Episode 15 "Seizure" will feature McKay and Woolsey (and Telford!).

^ ugh, hopefully it won't be completely cringeworthy

 

[SG-17]

Well, the beauty of that sex waiver thing is that it happened in one of those webisodes no one saw, so unless it's actually played in an episode, it never happened.

Doesn't matter if it wasn't in the show. Stargate's canon isn't even a fraction as strict as Star Trek. All produced content, whether it be on television, in theaters, on DVD, or online is canon. A large portion of the books and games are too.

Show me an official statement of that from MGM and I'll believe you.

Thats the thing, TPTB don't give a rats ass. They aren't all psycho about canon like Roddenberry was. In fact the only thing they said wasn't canon was Stargate Infinity.

 

[Starkers]

Just saw this last night. Absolutely brilliant! Much as originally the notion of the bridge somewhat annoyed me (makes SGU potentially just another space opera) I have to admit it looked cool seeing it fully manned.

I really hope this show keeps breathing!

 

[Kemaiku]

Just saw it last night too and greatly enjoyed it, if they can keep this up I'll be well pleased. The scene with the bridge being fulled manned was pretty cool.

Well, given the revisions that came mostly over the first season or so to Go'auld anatomy, technology, etc., and the way stargate addresses work, the concept of "canon" is iffy.

^Don't confuse continuity with canon.
