Y'know, I think Destiny is the ONLY ship in a sci-fi programme where the bridge retracts into the ship when battle commences. The bridge on most sci-fi ships is almost always on the top of the ship, and is almost always shown as having glass-like viewing ports (regardless of what they're actually made of)... and that always seem stupid, because one good hit to breach the hull after taking out the shields/deflectors and you take out the command centre of the entire ship. Having it retract and be topped/covered over by major hull plating like the rest of the ship, and switching to sensors for seeing what's going on outside, just makes a whole lot more sense for a battle.
Well, it does MAKE sense. With power involved, withouth shields/structural integrity fields hit on unprotected hull usually would spread starship across solar system.
@@orlock20 honestly the drones seemed like glass cannons, you never seem them survive a hit, so there probably a engine, a weapon and a basic AI in it and thats it, making it a lot easier to mass produce.
Not so much, yea, stars are "everywhere" but space is soooooo much bigger than media makes one believe. Ie: interstellar travel will make the Voyager episode "Night" look like the average trip
Think if they build portable replications like same did when she changed the Asgard transporters to make item when they were frozen in time they could've began repairing the ship and getting everything fully operational
Well they went off the course set by the Seed Ship in this. The battle the Ursini ended up in a battle with the drones here in solar system with a star Destiny can use by incident. Otherwise they would’ve had to recharge else where.
shame that once there able to hack into a squad of drones later on. they can't seem to keep gathering more of them over time with each new battle. could have came in handy for a while at least.
Yeah, I just assume that all the windows are made from some form of photochromic glass and that they just don't mention that. Lots of SF shows make little mistakes in science like this. What has always bothered me worse is the sound in space.
There is sound in space it just doesn't propagate well in low density environments. The sun is very noisy and so is Jupiter but you're right, you wouldn't be hearing guns firing or lasers.

This is what annoys the crap out of me ..what is the good of having shields if half the systems are always blowing up ? I hate how they use this same plot device in multiple tv shows and movies .. The pyrotechnics are so ridiculous
Well Destiny is ancient in every sense of the word. You’ll notice that as this fight goes on in the whole episode and the next one, the shields fail in some places. The tech, whilst advanced, is unique in that the shields cycle through various energy frequencies trying to get the best match to the weapons being fired at them. The further away the frequency, the more damage taken. Shields in Stargate gradually let energy bleed through anyway as they weaken, causing overloads and therefore the sparking panels that we see.
Kind of a late answer, but to add to what Rhys said, in most sci-fi shows, shields only dampen the damage taken from energy weapons, reducing how much actually bleeds through to the ship. Very small amounts of damage are negated entirely, but anything with a sufficient amount of power will bleed through into the ship's systems. Typically ships are also fitted with a polarised hull plating (and/or an array of the equivalent of surge protectors or fuses) that will absorb excess energy that bleeds through the shields. These are the items that blow out and cause the little spark explosions, but stop that energy from causing control consoles from just flat out exploding in the crew member's face (unless you're in Star Trek, that tend to build their consoles out of Explodium lol)
No it makes no sense whatsoever for there to be power surges in the control section to cause sparks and explosions. It is complete bullshit. Its only purpose is aesthetics and ambience. It is supposed to instill a sense of danger in the background while you are supposed to be focusing on the acting. The problem is, hackjob writers and directors can't do it correctly and have the explosions everywhere for no reason and try to make it the main focus of drama and danger rather than close ups of the actors and making the actors actually do their jobs and act.
The drones shouldnt really have exploded, just burned up like a small asteroid burning up in an atmosphere. Essentially the heat from the star would just melt and a few seconds later evaporate the entire drone ships.
A bow shock is nothing more than a pressure wave pushed in front of an object moving at supersonic speed (speed of sound varying depending on what medium you travel through). Bow shocks dont make you explode magically (or if they do then those drone ships were fragile as glass and grossly unsuitable to even go to space in the first place).
Actually, it would simply disperse. Nothing "hangs still" in the space - everything moves in relation to something else. Usually biggest mass concentration like a planet, star, or the core of a galaxy.
Old comment I know, but the ships that from this graveyard are from the race that occupied the Seed Ship. It’s implied that their war with the Drones hasn’t been going on that long.
Someone want to explain to me how Destiny didn't pick up any of the Drones when they started reactivating? Destiny could clearly track their movements since their fire was accurately hitting them, so what was with all this "suspense" for?
Ug. Such a bloody horrible show. They ignored every single facet and piece of the formula that created 2 incredibly successful series and then act surprised by what a piece of shit this train wreck was. This horrible piece of garbage never should have seen the light of day.
I thought people who hated SGU were extinct by now, due to the Stargate drought we've been experiencing for the last... Decade? Not going to be rude to you, you're entitled to your opinion, but I thought it wasn't all too bad. It got a lot better in the second season, and it looked like they were starting to get on track. Still, I totally get where you are coming from.
@@dvlx_a997 For the first season, absolutely agree. Second season was more mediocre than terrible. We're used to Stargate being absolutely amazing, but the show ran on for so long that they needed to experiment. It was a massive misstep, but it had some redeeming qualities. Frankly, I'd rather have mediocre Stargate shows than no Stargate shows at all.

It’s cool that they design a ship to fly into a star to recharge its power supply. Stars everywhere, you have a infinite power supply
Until the universe dies
Sometimes called star-diver ships in slang references for that kind of power system. (Solar powered class of ship.)
Yet it can't handle blasts from enemy ships.

it is a crime this show was cancelled
Indeed!
I was hooked first episode.
It was a crap show and you know it.
The show in and of itself was a fucking crime. This softcore porn disaster murdered the whole franchise.
Scott and Greer, brothers in arms and one hell of a team
I remember watching this when it first aired. When that seed ship dropped out of FTL I was all like WTF!? O_o BADASS
if you knick your sac just send it back lol
The seed ship were fully automated stargate factories i love this idea
"That man is a lot of work." Has to be by far my favorite line from any show I've seen so far as I can remember.
Damn you syfy...
yes for cancelling Stargate universe and Atlantis so much potential.
Damn the fans you mean. Syfy only cancelled the show because all the fans refused to watch it.
@@Shadowkey392 syfy gave convenient show time to some vampire pieces of shit. That's why 2 season had bad views amount

rofl bat-signal
Nice profile pic.😉👌
cool
@JoelPicon i wish they make more at less get them home
isnt it convenient they found a star system with no stargate, but the star was medium sized star which destiny can recharge.
Lack of habitable planets maybe.
the mini ship usually is the one delivering the stargates ahead. they just catch on to it

because the ship is 50 million years old and has been damaged via both neglect and things attacking it over those 50 million years.
Did Battlestar Galactica get a new season???
Dr park is hot Grier is a lucky guy.
Haven’t watched the show since it aired, did they ever figure out where these drones came from before they all went into hibernation pods?
Nope, just some race in that galaxy built them and they are programmed to eliminate all other technology.

+builder396 It was probably fuel going up before they could melt completely.
bow shock from the (helio)atmosphere, like in a tunguska meteor...
A bow shock is nothing more than a pressure wave pushed in front of an object moving at supersonic speed (speed of sound varying depending on what medium you travel through). Bow shocks dont make you explode magically (or if they do then those drone ships were fragile as glass and grossly unsuitable to even go to space in the first place).
well, it detonates rocks
Rocks are brittle, so they shatter (NOT explode). Thats why noone generally makes space ships out of them.
This junk field isn’t possible, after hundreds of years it probably could form a one piece of scrap by the gravitational forces.
