The correct pronunciation is: shuh-DIE

Re: Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind
The vowel sound in the first syllable is a schwa, for which I lack an upside-down "e". But sure, I guess you could say it's somewhere between "sheh" and "shuh", depending upon one's pronunciation.

^ That's exactly how I like to think of it, in fact --- HBO-style Star Trek.
And as for Marc's comment a couple posts up... yes, that's intentional. Readers of RtW might notice a certain "Old Testament" quality to the presence of the Shedai, and those of you familiar with Milton's Paradise Lost might see some notable parallels (and inversions), as well.

Re: Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind
is it just me or has space become too safe? i know i know the borg jem hadar etc. but have you ever seen a TNG redshirt gobbled by a bug eyed monster? do starfleet even visit strange new (unpopulated) worlds anymore? GOD knows i,m not bloodthirsty but every now and then sci-fi needs to loosen up and remember its roots .i love the intigue around VANGUARD base but please do not let the story resolve into some "meaningful" search for mutual understanding. some aliens should just want to kick the tar out of you

^ This is actually the fifth time I've been asked in three days.
I like the idea of Vanguard as an HBO version of Star Trek. It feels a lot like a cross between Band of Brothers and Forbidden Planet with a veneer of Where No One Has Gone Before - in short, everything I love in fiction.

Hey David,
Why not pitch this to HBO? It would be the best Trek series since TNG..

Re: Vanguard: Reap the Whirlwind
Yeah, sure, Marc. I'll just call up CBS Television and they'll jump to fulfill my desire and sell Star Trek Vanguard to their competitors at Time-Warner. After that, I'll make a phone call to the nice people at Citibank and ask them to drop off a huge satchel of money, no questions asked, at my apartment. And then, on my way home, I'll swing by the Ferrari dealership, drive a car off the lot without paying for it, and stop by Scarlett Johannson's place and say, "Don't ask so many questions, Scarlett, just get in the damned car," and she will, of course, comply.

Of course David I was just joking around.
Of course Showime's always an option.
