actually i like this show, i hope it shows us the early technologies of the Ancients and how it progressed… i think the pod was an automated collector, i am thinking the Ancients made a system that would automatically go out and acquire materials needed for power and other things that is what i think we will find out this Friday. In the pilot they said that the Destiny was the mother ship and that two other ships were out ahead of the destiny installing star gates and sending all data on what they find back to the destiny. I like Universe i hope it grows more and gets more into detail about how this ship works compared to the Aurora class ships.

after today's episode we're sure it wasn't the senators pod, they mentioned his body was still there and not going anywhere..

I completely forgot about the Stargate manufacturing idea on SGU, maybe you're right although the shuttle should technically be moving ahead of the Destiny.

I have a feeling that the ’shuttle’ at the end of the episode was a pod carrying a new Stargate, I think i remember them saying in the Pilot that the ship was a manufacturing plant for new gates hence why it was been sent all over the universe.

I think I'm deriving more pleasure from watching the training videos on the SGU website: http://stargate.mgm.com/view/content/1669/index...

RDA was a lot better in this episode, I'd still like to see him in more of an active role though - breaking down exactly what they need to be doing and seeing the team assigned to assisting the Destiny crew.

Oh yeah I'm really surprised they didn't do that exact scene in the montage!

I did wonder if it was his shuttle taking off, maybe they worked out a way of detaching it and burying him in 'warp'.

Okay, I can't disagree with anything here. I don't think I was quite as bored as you... I didn't leave or anything... but yeah... not the best way to resolve the premiere.

Btw, I think RDA did a decent cameo as Jack this time around, given his dialogue. He had the right level of snark at the appropriate time. So that was nice.

At the moment I'm working on the assumption that they'll follow up on those red shirts. So I'll reserve judgment on that for now.

One thing I expected them to do, and was thrilled they didn't, was have someone sadly looking in to the shuttle where the dead senator is presumably still sitting comfortably dead during the 'air' montage.

Maybe it's his shuttle that took off and he's going to be reanimated and come back as a zombie senator. OH! That's who the big bad guys are going to be in this one... Zombies!

I can see them being oh-so-scientifically-topical…
“Destiny knew we needed something from that planet and we did.
We needed…a good old dose of Vitamin D cos Dr Rush looked like he left his horse at the door cos he was developing Ricketts!”
