Sorry, noob question, but... If the Emperor is so powerful, why does he need to order his soldiers to perform an Exterminatus? Why not just conjure up another storm? Hell, why does He need soldiers at all? Why can't he just wish away threats like the Ork, Tau, and Tyranids, and force a truce with C...

7 Billion

Personally I think the "months to get back to Atlantis" is highly likely to be the speed of the Wraith. Even the Goa'uld have show better speeds crossing the vastly large milkway. The Wraith is clearly able to remove the knowlage that the crew got stuck into the VR and have a very large c...

They united before that to fight at the battle of Sector 83. If the Minbari start threatening the League of Non-Aligned worlds, they are going end up in war with them. Among the League is the Vree-Ventuki Conglomerate with the same technology as the Minbari, thought the Ventuki are only one guild w...

From ITB, Delenn, after the attack: "They deserve no mercy. Strike them down! Follow them to their base, and kill them all! All of them! All of them! No mercy!" That's not the attitude of somebody willing to take prisoners, lack of information or not. As for the league uniting, it took Sh...

I recall no other complaints last year. In any case, back to the actual discussion, no, Pegasus isn't far away by Asgard ship. The Daedalus takes days to make the trip, but there's no reason to assume its speed is equal to that of a true Asgard ship. And for the record, 60 is a lower limit. That wa...

I believe the low population of Centauri Prime was caused by a war with another sentient species ( The Xon) on their planet over a thousand years ago in their timeline. After wiping out the Xon, their population must have also been nearly destroyed in the process, since every year they celebrate th...

The Shadows are non telepathic, they fought several of the ancient wars with their enemies due to their fear as a result of this. The Shadow ship found by humanity was buried as a result of this as I recall. Did this perchance come from B5wars? :roll: They take Lyta over bodily. They're telepathic....

Think about this. How dissapointing would the following be? INT Kosh's quarters Day. MORDEN stands just inside the doorway. Three ShADOWS appear, walking through the mist. Reveal KOSH's shoulders, with SHADOWS standing together in front of him. SHADOWS eyes flash. KOSH's eye narrows. Lead SHADOW tw...

Questioner: Why didn't you show the fight between Kosh and the Shadows? JMS: I thought about that long and hard when writing the script, and I finally came to the conclusion that there was literally *nothing* we could show that wouldn't be disappointing...it's a conflict on another whole plane, and...

Where does it even imply Kosh fought back? I thought he considered it a retribution killing for the vorlons attacking the shadows outright? It was, that was the point of him being afraid of even lending the Vorlon's help to the younger races, because he knew that the Shadows would come to him for r...

If you go by the show, it was ~4,995 years ago.

Personal in the SGC itself has a fairly nasty attrition rate and the equipmenet fairs worst. You have to wonder how the Stargate-verse USA government manages to hid that much loss of life and equipment. Well, I guess Iraq could help. If that had happened in the SGverse too. IIRC, the Stargate progr...

IIRC, they did have spaceships. Just not alot of them.

JMS would be horrible for Trek, he would make religion an even worse part of the show; you thought Sisko and the fucking bajorans was bad enough...... When did JMS ever go overboard with religion anyways? The only one that i can count are the Priests that went to Babylon 5 and those weren't even a ...

Its called Tylium, and yes, it'll be the center points of one of the upcoming episodes.

The defense seemed plausible but they gotta chill on the hand held guns even attempting to fire and do damage on "spacecraft". I guess the Wraith fall under vunerable to that, they didn't even manage (or show on screen) some return fire into the defensive guns, we see some teleports and b...

From someone who has seen the entire first season, let me tell you guys that it only gets better and better with each passing episode.

*Redshirt walks through forest* Cylong nukes seem to have a maximum yield of 50 MT, about the same as Quantum torpedoes. Without shields, Federation starships could start a-beaming bombs into the basestars and get it over with quickly. Actually, i would consider the 50 MT nukes to be a minimum sinc...

Also, if you look at the schematic views of the Galactica that are provided in the OP which are of the model itself that is in the show, the Galactica sports 20 Heavy Railguns. 8 dorsal, 8 ventral, 4 forward, plus a SHITLOAD (more than ~64 stated on the site) of light railguns which are presumably t...

You guys also have to remember that Galactica was about to be decomissioned with one of its hanger bays converted into a museum, in which in the series it is still serving as a museum, but in a different capacity (for the dead it seems). The Galactica only had one squadron operational at the time it...

Knife wrote:I do like how they changed the original's first problem of fuel with the new problem of water. Makes some sense, though fuel should be up there too, unless they got topped off at the depot thingy in the mini series.

Its addressed later on in the series.

But there are a few nits - one of my main gripes what is it with Cylons and sex? They just want to fuck all the time and now Six wants to have a baby with Baltar? C'mon. And the Cylons are fundies?! Where's the logic in a machine being a deist? The human models are there to find out about humans an...

Erm, and its speculation that would actually fit the facts with what's happening in the scene. Why the hell would the Starfury blow up 1 second before impact if it was interacting with the stealth field? Its not supported by the onscreen evidence at all, overload of reactor however IS. Sinclair was...

Also, in that scene the Starfury glows before it actually impacts the fin of the Sharlin meaning that it exploded before impact. This might mean that it overloaded its reactor before impact or it might've even been carrying a nuke inside of it on a suicide run (answering the question of why the EA ...
