Episode 103. Joining us from Monterey, Mexico is returning guest, Prof. Michael Le Flem. Our last podcast, episode 71, about Atlantis was one of my all time favourites. He's come back to talk about ancient civilisations and the Yuga Cycle. Ever heard of it? A Yuga Cycle lasts 24,000 years and is made up of gold, silver, bronze and iron ages. Life on earth is paradise in the golden age and awful in the iron age. Unsurprisingly, we're slap bang in the middle of the lowest point of the iron age so it gets better from now on. Or does it?

In the latest episode of our Stargate Universe Rewatch, we check in with "Time". This is Stargate Universe's first time travel episode, and one of the best of the franchise. Part found-footage episode, part deep character piece, part monster horror. This episode combines a number of genres and does them all justice. This is one of my favourite episodes. Listen to find out why. ----more---- Transcript Welcome to Nerd Heaven I’m Adam David Collings, the author of Jewel of The Stars And I am a nerd.   This is episode 57 of the podcast. Today, we’re talking about the Stargate Universe episode Time.   The description on Gateworld reads A team from Destiny arrives on a jungle planet, where they find a kino with footage of themselves they haven't shot yet.   This episode was written by Robert C Cooper It was also directed by Robert C Cooper And it first aired on the 13th of November 2009.   Much like Star Trek, Stargate has not always handled time-travel consistently. The rules have changed from episode to episode. There’s three main theories of time travel that fiction generally uses. One is that there is only one timeline, but you can go back and change things, re-writing history. This is the type that was used in the first Back to The Future. It’s the way most of us grew up thinking about time-travel.   Then there’s the closed loop kind of idea, where you can’t change the past as such, because if you go back and do something, the consequences of whatever you did would already have been seen and experienced before you left. This is the type of time-travel I’m using in my fiction.   And then there’s the more modern idea, popularised by the Star Trek 2009 movie and Avengers Endgame, and often used in Stargate Atlantis. This is where an incursion back into the past creates a new timeline.   There’s two main ways to travel through time in the stargate universe. The first is when a stargate wormhole intercepts a solar flair. That can cause the wormhole to loop back to the same gate, but at a different point in time. This was first discovered in the SG-1 episode 1969.   The other way to time travel is by using technology. The ancients spent a lot of time researching time travel, trying to go back and prevent a cataclysm that wiped them out, those that didn’t ascend, of course. But their experiments were unsuccessful. All they did was create a groundhog day machine. So they gave up. But one of their scientists eventually figured it out, and built a time machine into a puddle jumper. Because, you know, Delorians hadn’t been invented yet.   This episode introduces time travel into SGU for the first time. When they launched Destiny, the ancients had not yet cracked the secret of time travel, so as you’ll see, this episode makes use of the solar flare idea.   The episode opens with keno footage of a large team emerging from the stargate. The keno appears to be damaged as the image fritzes a little. They’re in a lush jungle.  So far, we’ve yet to see the typical Canadian forest planet that became almost a meme on SG-1. But then, they manage to avoid doing that constantly on Atlantis as well. This planet was actually shot on a soundstage.   This is certainly a big group. A whole lot of scientists. It’s like they’re doing a planetary survey. I mean, they might as well. They can’t get off this ship, but it does give them a chance to stretch their legs from time to time, and most of them did sign on to be explorers, of a sort. Who could resist the lure of an alien planet. It actually makes a lot of sense that they’d send a bunch of people. Everyone would be clamouring for some fresh air, I imagine.   Even Chloe has come to this planet. And again, it makes sense for those who aren’t scientists or explorers to begin learning new skills. There’s not much call for political science on board Destiny, so Chloe would be wanting to make herself useful.   Apparently, it’s very hot there. Suddenly this planet sounds less appealing. I really struggle with the heat, and we’ve had some really hot days around here lately.   This actually gives the feeling of a found footage episode. The entire episode isn’t kino footage, but a good chunk of it is. It’s a bold move, given they always portray Kino footage as having all these artifacts on the edges of the screen. And that’s kinda weird when you think about it. I mean, I get why they do it. It’s common to degrade the image in some way to make it clear to the audience when they’re watching a recording. But the kinos were invented by the ancients. They could construct an interstellar starship, and stargates, but they can’t make a camera that records a decent image? Of course, the kinos are millions of years old, so maybe they’ve degraded a bit over time. And there’s an important production reason for this. Because this is all kino footage, it meant they had to do a lot of big long takes. That can obviously be more challenging for actors. The occasional fritz of the kino allows them to do a subtle cut to a different take occasionally.   They found a bunch of alien vegetables on this planet. Eli is keen to try them out to see if they might be edible. But he does it in a very un-scientific way. He just takes a bit and is gonna try another. But if he reacts, they won’t know which one it was. This does raise an interesting question, though. How do you test whether a plant is safe for human consumption other than having a human try it? Are there tests you can do in a lab? Possibly. I mean, you can probably test for known poisons, but are they equipped for that? In the end, the best way might just be for have everyone try a different vegetable and see who reacts. It’s pretty risky. But I guess that’s how humans figured out what was poisonous in the old days.   But Voker is sick. He threw up recently. He hasn’t eaten anything, and then he passes out. Several others pass out too. Chloe is starting to get affected too.   The natural inclination in this situation is to want to gate straight back to destiny, but TJ is a little smarter than that. She raises the important fact that if they return to the ship, they might be taking whatever this is back with them. IF it’s a virus, they could infect the rest of the crew. They’ve got 36 hours before Destiny jumps away. That’s over a day, so they get a reasonably generous timer.    After the title card, we’re still watching Kino footage. At this point, first-time viewers are probably expecting the entire episode will be found footage.   We get an interesting little exchange between Rush and TJ regarding the way she’s using the medicines. One theory is that they’re suffering from something similar to bacterial meningitis. By the time she confirms this, if she hadn’t already given them antibiotics, it could be too late, so she’s injected people just in case, based on what Rush describes as a hunch.   He has a valid point that she could be wasting their antibiotics. They have a limited supply. Once they’re gone, that’s it. They can’t get more from earth.  But as TJ rightly points out, it’s her call. And she’s following her instincts in her attempt to save lives. I can see both sides of this argument, but isn’t it just so like Rush to be the one to employ cold-hearted pragmatism here. He’s definitely a man without much compassion for others.   The limited medicines are a serious concern, though. They’ll be wanting to find plants that might have medicinal properties on these planets. Eventually, they’ll have to try to make their own drugs or go back to a medieval level of medicine. And that’s scary.   They’ve found some tree stumps spewing some kind of smoke. Could that be the cause? Maybe.   And then it’s night time, and it's raining.   I love it when Eli says “it couldn’t get much worse,” and Rush says “That’s just a failure of imagination.”   He’s right of course, but that’s when we hear screams. Soldiers are frantically shooting machine guns into the dark. We don’t see what they’re firing at. I’m not usually a big fan of the ‘hide the monster’ trope. I prefer to just see the monster, because, you’ know, monsters are cool. But this is really effective. Oh we’ll eventually see what they’re shooting at, but in this scene, just seeing their reactions, wondering what it is, and hearing Rush yell to Eli “Dial the gate,” is very creepy. And that’s actually the purpose of the ‘hide the monster’ trope.   It also helps that the characters themselves can’t see the monster. I think this trope annoys me most when the characters can see the monster, but for artificial reasons, the camera won’t show it to us. That bugs me.   Anyway, there’s something wrong with the gate, so they have no escape route. It gets really bad when the kino falls over, we see everyone getting taken down, and then Chloe comes into shot. Some kind of worm things burrow into her and out the other side.   The camera lingers for a moment on her very clearly dead body.   That’s sobering.   And that’s when we cut to the real world. This is the first scene in the episode that isn’t kino footage.   A bunch of our characters are watching the same footage we’ve just seen. Eli is horrified. And so is Chloe. Yes. Chloe is watching footage of her death.   This drives her to run away and throw up, as well it should.   Eli turns away from the footage and says. “Okay. What….the. …..” And then we cut away. Fair enough., I think we can forgive Eli for saying what we all know he was about to say, given what he’s just seen.   We’re quickly given some context. They dropped out of FTL. The gate opened. They sent a kino through and then followed, only to find there was already a kino there. The data store was full.   Now this is a weird little moment. Brody says “The data store was full.” Then we immediately cut to a flashback of Eli picking it up saying “it looks like the data store is full.”   Why that redundancy? If this was a book, the editor would have pounced on that. Honestly, you don’t need both, so I find that really odd.   We also learn that the team found human remains on the planet. Rush picks up a skull. That’s pretty disturbing. Unlike the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies, this galaxy is not populated by humans, so that must have seemed a huge mystery in itself before they started watching the footage. Given the skull was dry and free of any flesh or skin, they must have been there a long time.   We haven’t seen all the footage yet. Evidently Eli and Rush survived the night. A few others. The aliens are nocturnal, so they’re relatively safe for now. Other than the disease, of course.   As usual, people are whining at Eli for spending his time talking to the Kino. “Do I have to remind you again that documenting this could be important?” “Who do you think is ever going to see that.” I love how Eli turns to them all and says “See!” Some wonderful vindication for him in that moment. I really like that.   The Kino was damaged during the night and can no longer fly, so Eli strapped it to his helmet. From this point on, actor David Blue actually did a lot of the camera work himself. He walked around the set with a massive camera rig attached to his head. I imagine it must have looked pretty funny.   We get another good character scene between Eli and TJ. Eli is noticing how hard it is for TJ when she can’t help people. And I get that. In my work, if I fail, the worst that usually happens is that somebody can’t use a piece of software. IF she fails, people die. That’s a heavy burden that all medical people carry.   And then Eli shares a little about his mother. We learn that she was a nurse but she got stuck with a needle trying to restrain a junkie in the ER. She got HIV.   That really sucks. So that’s the health problem his mum has. I wonder if you’re allowed to work as a nurse if you’re HIV positive. It could be considered a risk to patients. I should ask my wife. She’s a nurse. This explains why she’s got a serious health problem but she’s able to do things around the house.  Actually, come to think of it, didn’t we see her in a uniform in a previous episode? That means she probably is still working. But she probably has to take all kinds of expensive medicines. Honestly, for such a massive fan of this show, I’m embarrassed at how many details I have forgotten since my last watch-through. And I apologise for that.   Anyway, Eli’s dad couldn’t handle it so he left. And that also sucks. Eli was only 14 at the time, so his mum has been living with this for quite a few years.   It’s a really emotional moment. Eli might not have chosen to reveal this intimate information about himself to all these people watching. He chose to open up to TJ on the planet. David Blue does a great job of just looking down and trying to cope with the emotion of all this stuff coming out. Chloe looks at him with such sympathy and compassion. It’s touching. And then, when Eli says he’s afraid his mum will give up if he dies out here, Scott puts his hand on Eli’s shoulder. And that really moved me. I know I give Scott a hard time but that just shows the good but flawed man he is. And in a ship full of deeply flawed people, he does stand out as a good bloke.   In the end, all these people are family.   This is immediately followed by another great character moment as Eli shares a moment with Rush, talking about how he first came face to face with his own mortality at his grandfather’s funeral. And Rush is being surprisingly human. Rush has had to face mortality as well. We know he lost somebody he loved. But his way of responding to this is, “did it change you? Did it inspire you to do something worthwhile with the short time we have in this life?” That is such a Rush response. But I like it. I think that until now, Eli has been taking life for granted. He hasn’t done much with his life. But ending up here on Destiny has given him a chance to really do something that matters.   Rush also mentions ascension. The process the ancients went through to transform their consciousness into an immortal form. When Eli asks if he really thinks that’s possible, the way he says “I know it is,” with such determination, suggests strongly to me, that this is Rush’s ultimate goal. He wants to learn how to ascend.   He admits it may not be possible for him personally, but that idea is the reason he’s out here.   Again, this is a believable obsession for somebody with Rush’s personality, that has lost a loved one.   He wants to defeat mortality.   And then another wonderful character scene. Seriously, they just keep coming. This time we finally see a little past the cracks in Greer. He’s really shaken by the idea that all those people died under his watch. But it didn’t happen. And so he refuses to acknowledge it as a thing. And yet, he’s still sitting here in the gate room, wrestling with his demons.   This is the big difference between SGU and other Stargate shows. They’ve all done time-travel shows, but SGU taces that sci-fi concept and uses it to explore deeper character issues.   And don’t get me wrong, SG1 and Altantis both did some good character stuff, but nothing that compares to what Universe did.   This is when things get bad. Chloe collapses. It’s about 3 hours since they jumped out of FTL. That’s about the time people started getting sick in the recording. So the team that went to the planet and found the kino have brought whatever it is back to the ship. Back in the recording, Greer is teaching Eli how to shoot a gun. They try to even the odds a little by blowing up one of the stumps where the aliens sleep. They probably took out more than one.   But night time eventually comes and they’re all on guard ready to defend themselves.   Rush decides that somebody should try going through the gate. If he makes it to Destiny, he’ll radio back, and then he jumps in. He quotes a line from the 1969 movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It turns out to be a favourite of both him and Colonel Young. So, those two actually have something in common.   Eli hears nothing back and the wormhole closes.   Then we get the twist. TJ has found the cause of the sickness. It’s nothing to do with the jungle planet. There’s a microorganism in the water that Young and Scott brought back from the ice planet (glorious continuity). So everyone on Destiny is infected. And that’s bad news.   Next morning, on the recording, and Eli is dead. Scott is the only one left. And he gives this gut-wrenching scream of anguish, which is totally the correct response for a real living person.  Of course, he’s also a professional soldier, so after he’s had his moment, he picks up the kino and records his final thoughts, detailing what has happened. Destiny will be jumping soon, but the stargate is still not working properly.   He plans to send the kino through the wormhole to Destiny in hope that they can at least see the message.   And here’s the moment that explains it all. It goes through the gate and seems to land in the same place. Except it’s daylight. And Rush is lying dead on the ground.   Rush understands immediately. The Kino went back in time. It’s the old wormhole through a solar flair thing. The exact same phenomenon that caused SG-1 to go back to 1969 all those years ago.   That’s why the wormhole was unstable.   So that skull they found was Rush.   Here in reality, the solar flair hasn’t happened yet. So they can still gate to the planet.   TJ has a good theory, based on Scott’s last message. The venom from the aliens could cure the disease.   Now they have to go back to the planet to recover them. It’s night, which means they’ll be active and dangerous.   TJ has run out of antibiotics and the first patient has died. Then another nice character scene. Eli wonders why we always wait until it’s too late to tell people what we really feel. And think. So he opens up to Chloe. Fully. Sadly, she’s unconscious.   But contrary to what you might expect, it’s not a profession of undying love. It’s not really even about him. It’s about her. He talks about how amazing she is. How her presence in his life makes him so much happier.   He talks of never having had a best friend before. Right now it doesn’t matter what kind of love they share. It doesn’t matter that she chose Scott rather than him. What matters is that they do share a form of love. A very special friendship. And he begs her not to die.   But she can’t hear him. And she dies. It’s a moving scene. In fact, it’s TJ’s reaction that is the most moving. This is a great episode because it really lets us live in these gut-wrenching moments without having to lose the characters long term. Not many TV shows can pull that off. Farscape did it in a very unique way. And if you’ve seen that show, you know what I’m talking about. That had even more impact and lasting consequence than this did.   Rush reports the news to the team on the planet. We’ve already lost 4 people. I guess he does it to reinforce the sense of urgency. But now Scott has to hear that the woman he loves is dead. How do you just keep going after hearing something like that? Young just says “Lieutenant, we need you.” And he’s so professional that he’s able to carry on. I guess that’s what it means to be a soldier. You put aside your grief until later. Because right now you’ve got a job to do.   The aliens attack. And within moments, it’s just Scott. Alone. Again.   Greer and Young are dead.   He’s probably not going to make it very long. So he does the one thing he can do. And it’s clever thinking. All hope is lost for this time around, but things could be different next time. He records a message, detailing the disease in the water and the cure that the alien creatures represent. Then he sends the kino through the wormhole, into the distance past. So that it can eventually be found by Destiny.   This is where the episode closes. We don’t see the crew curing the disease in the next timeline. But we don’t have to.   This is a fantastic episode. It mixes three genres. Science fiction, drama, and horror. And it does all three really well. It has some interesting twists and turns, and some really heartfelt moments.   We get to see some hugely emotional tragic moments, and those moments have real weight to them. Yes, we kind of pull a reset button at the end, but not a full hard reset. Those deaths still happened in their respective timelines. And they were treated like they mattered.   This is one of my favourite time-travel episodes, and probably one of my favourite episodes of the entire franchise. I love it.   The interesting thing is that this episode works whether you use the traditional type of time-travel, where there’s just one timeline, but it can be altered and re-written, or the more modern type, where each incursion into the past creates a new separate parallel timeline.   So there you have it. Time.   Next time, we’ll be talking about the episode “Life”. It’ll do some more delving in to character, as well as present yet another potential way home. So our second, “will they get home” episode.   Don’t forget to click like if you’re on youtube, or leave a review. Tell a friend, share on social media.

In the final part of a series on Atlantis, Dane builds his case for the reality of Atlantis. First, he defends Plato's honor against those who claim he made the story up. Next, Dane reviews the work of the notable pro-Altantis scholars: Ignatius Donnelly and Graham Hancock. Synthesizing the best evidence from disparate sources, Dane argues that we can reasonably believe that Plato's story of Atlantis was based on stories told by the survivors of a flood that marked the end of the ice age.

We begin a new era of the podcast as we look at Stargate Universe. SGU is the third TV series in the Stargate franchise, following SG-1 and Atlantis, not to mention the original 1994 movie. It was a divisive show, and still is to this day. It was a departure from the previous two shows in terms of tone, shooting style and story-telling. But it well-loved by its fans. Today, I delve deep into the first two parts of the 3-part pilot. We'll look at the new characters introduced in this story, and talk about how the pilot grabbed me with both hands and wouldn't let go.

I’m really excited because today, we’re starting something brand new. We’re going to be looking at each episode of Stargate Universe, just as we’ve done with Star Trek Picard season 1 and Star Trek Discovery Season 3.   This is a very divisive show because it was a significant departure from the previous two Stargate TV shows, in terms of tone, shooting style, and story-telling. Stargate Universe was heavily influenced by Battlestar Galactica. It’s a much more character-driven show. It’s more serialised, and it’s got a darker more serious tone.    The show is hardly what you’d call grimdark, but the characters have a lot more flaws than you’d usually expect from Stargate. But in my mind, that just gives them a lot of room for growth.   I’ve loved Stargate from the beginning. I was a big fan of the 1994 film, and I loved both SG-1 and Atlantis. This third series, is actually a great launching on point, so if you decided long ago that Stargate wasn’t for you, it’s worth giving SGU a try.   Now a little note for those of you watching on youTube. I recorded the bulk of this episode a few months back, before I decided to show live action video on the youTube version of the podcast, so for the bulk of this week’s episode, and next week’s episode, you won’t have to look at my ugly mug. Lucky you. But by episode 3, it’ll all be back to normal.   The description on GateWorld reads When a research team is forced to evacuate their secret base, they find themselves on board a derelict Ancient vessel that is many galaxies away from Earth.   This episode was written by Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper It was directed by Andy Mikita And it first aired on the 2nd of October 2009.   Stargate Universe was not well-received by all fans. Many bemoaned the lack of humour, the darker grittier tone, and the more morally ambiguous characters. But let me be very clear about this. Not everyone disliked the show. Many of us loved it, and still consider it our favourite Stargate show to this day. And I’m talking people who loved SG1 and Atlantis.   My first introduction to the show was the first three episodes edited together into an extended pilot movie on DVD. It would be months, maybe a year, before I would get to see the rest of season 1.   It’s hard to put into words just why I liked this show so much, but this three-part pilot really grabbed me with both hands and wouldn’t let go. The gritty realistic tone of the show just felt like a breath of fresh air to me. And the wonder of them being on this ancient spaceship so far from home, with no idea what it was all about, that captures my imagination.   I love the character focus. SG1 and Altantis both followed a similar pattern in terms of their characters. They both had a four-person team who went through the gate, plus a command and support staff back at their home base.   Universe broke way out of this mold. These people are not the best of the best. They’re not all military. They’re definitely not supposed to be on this ship. In that sense, I get quite a Farscape vibe from the show. These people are not a crew, they’re a collection of people who have been forced together under unusual circumstances and forced to live and struggle together. So, of course, there’s going to be conflict. Add to that, Colonel Young is no Jack O’Neill. He may not be that great an officer, and he admits this himself. But, he tries. He really does. And we see a lot of growth in the character over the two seasons. And Doctor rush, well, he’s brilliant, but a very very flawed man. Seriously, I eat this stuff up. It’s great. But let’s actually look at this episode.   It begins in space. A ship jumps out of hyperspace and slowly approaches the camera as the credits roll.  We’ve never seen a ship like this before, but we’ll soon come to know her as destiny.  You get to see a whole lot of detail on this ship as the camera zooms in. It’s nice to see a Stargate show in high definition. It’s all pretty ominous. The ship is deserted. But then we pan into the gate room and see the gate spinning. Then the wormhole engages and people start flying out of it. It’s a mysterious beginning. WE have no idea what it’s all about. This first episode makes very effective use of non-linear story-telling. We keep flashing back and forth between the destiny and the earlier stuff that explains how our characters got here.    At this point we’re wondering about these people. This is not your typical SG team. We’ve got military, some guy in glasses dressed as a civilian, and a teenager in a red tshirt. The opening makes us hungry to know more.   But we can tell straight away there is something ominous about Doctor Rush. Everyone else is panicking. But he’s looking around at this ship with a quiet lust and a dark satisfaction.   The last one to come through is Colonel Young. He hits his head badly and passes out after placing Lieutenant Scott in charge. We won’t see him, other than in flashbacks, until the second part when he wakes up.   The episode does a good job of showing visually, that is this a much older stargate. Earlier technology. The whole gate spins, which is different. And when the wormhole closes, it vents out all this steam, as if the gate struggles to cool itself.   The ship jumps back into hyperspace but we have no idea what’s going on at the time. We just see a weird stretching effect on the picture, and the characters react with the same confusion we do.   Then we flashback to Eli playing a video game. He solves a difficult puzzle. And the next thing you know, Jack O’Neil is knocking on his door with Doctor Rush. It seems they embedded a top-secret problem in the game and Eli solved what nobody else could. Lucky him.   I love Jack’s reactions here when Eli disbelieves them and is hesitant to sign the non-disclosure agreement. Jack’s got no time for this. He can just beam Eli up to the ship. No worries. This is a risk, of course. But I guess, if he still doesn’t sign, nobody is gonna believe him. But I think Jack knows people well enough to know he’ll sing.   This ship is the Hammond, named after the late General Hammond. WE learn a little about Eli. We know he’s not unemployed because he’s lazy. He’s a genius, but his mother has health issues that require him to look after her.   The ship is leaving orbit to travel to another planet. But Eli would at least like some pants before they leave.   And this is a good reminder that while this show is much more dramatic and serious than SG1 or Atlantis, it DOES have humour. This line from Eli is pretty funny and nicely in line with the type of humour we often got from Jack O’Neill.   There’s a nice sequence where Eli watches a bunch of training videos, hosted by none other than Dr. Daniel Jackson. This is a good way to get up to speed with all things stargate, both for Eli and for the audience, who may not have watched the previous shows.   We also get some important backstory. Ancient ruins were found on an alien planet two years ago. There, they found a 9 symbols address. We know that gate addresses within the local galaxy contain 7 symbols. 8 symbol addresses call gates in another galaxy, like an area code. But the stargate has nine chevrons. So what is the meaning of the ninth symbol? Nobody has ever managed to successfully dial a 9-symbol address.   Eli gets to call his mum on the phone. He tells her he’s doing some top-secret work for the air force. She is up on her feet, walking around the house, and it looks like she’s wearing a uniform of some kind. So she’s got a job. So I’m confused as to the nature of her sickness, and why it prevents Eli from pursuing his career. It seems if he got a job, he’d be able to help pay for her medical expenses. Anyway, the air force are going to take care of him while he’s away.   And he meets Chloe for the first time. She’s the only other person on this ship his age, and I think he immediately notices that she’s quite an attractive young woman. He’s surprised to find out he’s quite the celebrity on this ship. Anyway, these two characters are immediately pretty good together.   Then we jump back to the present. Eli and Rush discover they’re on a spaceship. Travelling faster than light, somehow, but not through conventional hyperspace. Rush has identified the ship as being ancient technology. Not only meaning it was built by the aliens we call the ancients, but that it is old. Really old.   And that’s when they notice the air is thin. The life support system is failing on this ship. And that’s totally believable. How many millions of years has it been flying through space?   We meet Colonel Young through a flashback talking to his wife before he left to go on this mission. His career with the SGC is putting a lot of stress on his marriage. He’s always off-world and he can’t even tell her about it. It’s obvious pretty early on that Colonel Young is not cut out of the same heroic mould as O’Neil, Shepherd and Mitchell.    Our introduction to Scott comes with him having sex with a female officer in a storage room. Real classy Scott. It’s not always fair to judge people based on first impressions, but I have to say, this scene really colours the way I see his character throughout the show.   Eli, Chloe, her father, the senator, and Rush arrive on the planet that houses Icarus base. The stargate on this planet doesn’t accept incoming wormholes, which is why they had to come here on a ship. It’s a plot convenience so we could have the scenes on the Hammond.   The puzzle Eli solved was the problem Rush has been working on for ages. He’s trying to figure out how to dial the 9 chevron address. Rush has been working on it for ages, and Eli has solved it. Except it still doesn’t work. This gate is powered by the planet’s core itself. Getting the energy output just right is the challenge.   While rush keeps trying to solve it, Eli is invited to a special dinner. And he’s happy to attend. Meanwhile, we get a hint of Rush’s backstory. There was a woman who was in his life. Judging by his tears, she’s probably dead.   Senator Armstrong is pretty upset about them being on this ship and tries to order Scott to get them back to earth right away. But sometimes, you can’t just order things to be the way you want them. Rush is trying to get life support back online, but Eli doesn’t trust what he’s doing. And emotions are very high. Grier is ready to shoot him. Especially given he blames rush for them being on the ship in the first place. It’s a tense scene. In the end, the button does nothing, good or bad. I wasn’t a fan of Grier at the beginning. He comes across so cocky. So sure of himself. He loves himself just a little too much. Of course, he’ll grow on me as the season progresses.  And he was actually in the brig back on Icarus. He was only just released because Icarus base is under attack by the Lucian alliance. And this is where we see that Samantha Carter is still in command of the Hammond. I believe she left Atlantis to take up this post.   This episode has a lot to do. In between all that is happening, it has to set up the backstory of a large cast of characters. Certainly a bigger cast than any stargate show before it. We meet Johansen and Camille. Johansen, the medic on the ship was actually planning to leave to the stargate program before all this happened. And Camille is a civilian representative of the IOA, an international group that oversees the stargate program. It’s nice to see the pyramid ships and death gliders in this first episode. They’re a remnant of SG1 and the milky way galaxy. So we won’t be seeing them moving forward. Rush is desperate to figure out this nine symbol issue now. This planet has unique properties. They may not be able to get the address to work anywhere else, and this bombardment could literally cause the planet to blow up. This is Rush’s last chance to realise his life’s work. They figure out, if this is not a power problem, maybe it’s an issue with the address. Maybe they’re using the wrong point of origin because the gate was meant to be dialled from somewhere else. The gate is supposed to be dialling Earth to evacuate the base, but Rush cancels it so they can try dialling his 9 symbol address instead. He just some justification for this beyond his own personal selfish need to complete his work. He says they can’t risk dialling earth. The energy of the explosions, if the core goes could be devastating if it travels through the wormhole. And that’s a fair point. But is there really a risk of that, or is it just a convenient excuse for Rush? As young says, he could have dialled somewhere else, anywhere else in the milky way.   And it works. The address connects. Whatever it leads to, they've established a connection.   In the end, they have to go through the wormhole to wherever it leads. Because anywhere is better than here. The planet is about to blow.   Rush finds a starmap detailing the ship’s journey. It began at Earth. IT left the galaxy, travelled past pegasus, past galaxy after galaxy. It’s impossibly far away. Several billion lightyears from home. I got chills when I first watched this and realised just how far away they were.   Most of the people on base have to evacuate through the gate. But Colonel Talford beams up to the Hammond and remains in the milky way galaxy.   And the planet blows up, taking the Lucian alliance ships with it.   Back on Earth, Jack is working at the Pentagon, as he has since he left the day-to-day running of the SGC. Walter is there with him. Not at the SGC. Together, Carter and O’Neill realise that nobody came through the gate to earth. So where did they go?   Which takes us right back to the beginning of the episode, where they first came through the gate onto the ship. And that’s the end of part 1.   So they’re gonna explore the ship, looking for whatever they can find. Scott is taking charge. I like how they acknowledge that this ship is really old and there could be parts that are damaged or dangerous.   And then he looks at the woman he was having sex with in the closet and says “You’re James, right?” Ouch. She gives him a death stare and says “Yes, Lieutenant.” Scott has had her, and now he’s ready for his next conquest. We’ll see who that is later. I really feel for James in this moment. He’s clearly trying to pretend he doesn’t really know her, but it feels more than that, like he’s just brutally tossed her out. Of course, nobody is buying it. Grier can see exactly what’s being said here, and what’s not.   Scott finds a door he can’t open. He orders Eli to open it. The other side is a room open to vacuum. There’s a big hole in the bulkhead. Another great reminder of how old and un-maintained this ship is. It’s a dangerous place.   Meanwhile, Rush gets out a device. One part of it might be familiar, the stone. Yes, this is an ancient communication stone, like the one that first sent Daniel and Vala’s minds into the Ori galaxy back in SG1 season 9. Although the base plate is human technology, which is interesting.   This device allows two people to swap bodies across un-imaginable cosmic distances. This was a very cool addition to Stargate Universe. It allows the crew, stranded on destiny, countless galaxies away, to communicate with people back home on Earth. Even have little visits home. And we get a little cameo from Doctor Lee who appeared in both SG1 and Atlantis. Apparently, like most of the former SGC staff, he’s now posted at the Pentagon in Washington with Jack. I can’t help but wonder if the SGC is till operating in Chyanne Mountain. Remember, last we saw of Atlantis, it was on Earth, and Pegasus gates take precedence over milky way gates. Meaning Atlantis could be the new SGC. We don’t know if the city ever returned to Pegasus. We know there were plans for it to happen in stories that were never shot, but in terms of on-screen canon, it’s a total mystery.   So Rush swaps bodies with Doctor Lee and is effectively now standing in a room in the pentagon.   After his conversation, which you’ll notice we don’t actually see, he goes and informs everybody that there is no hope of rescue. The only means to dial this ship from the milky way galaxy was destroyed. And then he says “in light of my knowledge and experience, General O’Neill has placed me in charge.”   What do you think was really said between Rush and O’Neill?   I don’t think they ever outright say it in this episode, but it becomes pretty clear as the season goes on that Rush is outright lying about being put in charge. He seems pretty hesitant to allow senator Armstrong to use the stones himself. But the good senator is not in good shape.   So Camille doesn’t recognise Rush’s authority. As the only IOA representative on the ship, she probably feels she should be in charge.   Most people want to focus on getting home. Rush says that may not even be possible. And he IS right. There’s no known way home right now. Their primary focus needs to be making this ship habitable and safe. That will keep them alive in the immediate term. But Rush has his own reasons for not wanting to find a way home. He’s spent his entire career trying to get here. Going home is the last thing he wants. And as we get to know him better, we’ll learn that he’s not above putting his own needs before the needs of everybody else.   Scott is able to salvage a situation that on the brink of turning into a riot. Colonel Young has put him in charge of all military personnel. They are required to follow his orders. And, as he says, if anybody else gets out of line, we’ll lock you down. Because they can. And this is the kind of “push people around because we have big guns” mentality that I don’t really like about the military. You see it in the movie Avatar, and you sometimes see it here. But I’m not sure it’s representative of the real military. Real-world military people are there to serve. And I think most of them probably take that responsibility very seriously. I don’t think they would naturally throw their weight around unless there was a real cause for it.   Anyway, Scott has Rush’s back for now, because he knows they need him, but he warns Rush to try dialling the gate back to earth. He already knows Rush has his own agenda.   Colonel Young finally wakes up. Johansen is treating him. She brings him up to speed on the situation. When he learns that Rush claims to be in charge, he won’t have a bar of it. But he can’t do much because he can’t feel his legs. Johansen thinks it’s temporary, but she’s not a doctor as such, she’s a military medic. We learn that Johansen’s tour of duty had ended. She had a scholarship to study something. She shouldn’t even be here. Bad luck. If only she’d left Icarus a day earlier.   We see a Kino for the first time.  A little ball floating down the corridor. Eli found them. They’re remote control flying drones. Eli named them, after a Russian rock band, I think. He says “after the Russian..” and then Scott cuts him off. But a google search for Kino Russian leads us to this band. I’m not sure if there’s any significance to flying cameras, or if Eli just likes their music. If anybody knows more, let me know in a comment or an email to adam@adamdavidcollings.com   Anyway, they have a whole supply on them on the ship. They will prove useful to check out what’s on the other side of the stargate. Much like a MALP.   Rush has figured out that the CO2 scrubbers are failing. Which makes a lot of sense given how many millions of years old this ship is. I really like that they spend so much time in early season one dealing with stuff like this. Just struggling for the necessities of life on this ancient ship. Unlike SG1 and Atlantis, which were quick to introduce the new “Big Bady guy” this show takes a different tack.   Senator Armstrong has a real problem. He’s badly bruised. If he takes his heart medication, he’ll bleed internally. But if he doesn’t take them, he could die anyway. Chloe takes the pills, making the decision for him.   They have some serious problems related to air. First of all, they have to seal off all the leaks, to prevent loss of atmosphere. If they can do that, they’ll have a day or two before the build-up of CO2 kills them, due to the failing scrubbers. They need to replace the failed compound that treats the air. The main air leak turns out to be one of the shuttles. There’s a problem with the shuttle door. It can only be closed from inside the shuttle. Rush is quick to say “somebody needs to go in there and close it”. Thus, sacrificing their life. Of course, you know he won’t volunteer to do it himself.   Eli has started vlogging using the Kino. Scott finds this annoying, but Eli points out this needs to be documented. Maybe someday, someone will find the ship and know what happened to them all. He’s right. But he’s possibly having a little too much fun with it. But why not? Let the guy have a little fun. He’s probably gonna be dead soon anyway. Eli’s interest in film-making will continue throughout the series.   Anyway, Scott’s point is that they should be focusing on staying alive, not leaving messages behind for after they’re dead. They have a dilemma to solve. Who is going to give their life to seal the door? Rush is immediately coldly pragmatic about it. He looks at the list of people, noting those who are injured. He wants to find out which ones have valuable skills that could come in useful. I mean, he’s not wrong. And yet, he’s suggesting they find the expendable, he’s reducing people’s lives to an assessment of how useful they are to survival on this ship. That’s cold. REALLY REALLY cold.   Young’s approach is to sacrifice himself. He can’t ask anybody to make a sacrifice like this (Although military personelle do sometimes order their people to their death). Scott won’t let Young sacrifice himself. He’s the leader and they need him.    While everybody is arguing about it, Senator Armstrong leaves his room, armed with a gun. He’s going to do it. He’s probably going to die from his injuries anyway. He’s gonna close the door.   This is a heart-breaking moment as Chloe runs through the corridor screaming “Dad No!” as he gives his life to save everybody else. It’s pretty powerful stuff.   What other show has ever portrayed a politician as so noble a hero. This breaks all the stereotypes.   So in her grief, Chloe goes and starts hitting Rush. She blames him, not entirely fairly. But his attempt to comfort her quickly turns into a justification of his innocence. Why none of this is his fault. Rush admits that as human beings, everyone is invaluable. Which I agree with, but I’m not sure he really believes that.   Young is back on his feet now, against medical advice, but he needs to help solve their problems. He asks Camille to keep people calm. She’d be good at that.   Scott spends a little time sitting with Chloe, trying to comfort her. He wants to hear about the senator. “The man died so I could live. I’d like to know more about him.” I get on Scott’s case a bit in this episode, and I’ll have some more negative things to say about him, but I like this moment. I think, in this moment, he genuinely cares and wants to help Chloe. Anyway, it’s a nice character scene. Rush has learned the name of the ship is destiny. He’s also learned that it was sent out un-manned and automated. The plan was that they’d eventually use the gate to get to the ship once it was far enough out. They never did. They probably learned to ascend before it happened. Ascension, of course, is a process the ancients learned millennia ago, where they transform from physical beings into beings of energy and thought. They go to a higher plane of existence. We learn a lot about this in SG1 and Atlantis.   At this point, I’m wondering about how all this fits together in the timeline. So I’ve looked it up. The ancients were originally known as the Alterans. They came from another galaxy. A group of them left that galaxy, after a big divide between them and others who called themselves the Ori. Between 50 and 30 million years BC, the eventually settled in the milky way galaxy, choosing to live on Earth as the first form of humanity.  It was after this that they launched Destiny, before they had even seeded the milky way with stargates Later, they built Atlantis and left for the Pegasus Galaxy. So there was at least 20 million years between the launch of Destiny, and the time the Ancients ascended. In all that time, they never gated to the ship. Had it still not reached the location where they wanted to board, or were there other reasons?   We still don’t know why the ancients launched the ship. Not yet.   Riley has found the address to dial the gate back to earth. It wasn’t hard to find. Young assumes Rush already knew but didn’t tell anyone. They don’t know the point of origin so they’ll have to use trial and error. They have 36 tries, but they could run out of power before they find the right combination.   The issues become moot when the ship drops out of FTL and the gate starts dialling on its own. This is part of what the ship is programmed to do. Rush believes the ship has detected a stargate on a planet nearby that may have what they need. The ancients sent other unmanned ships out before destiny to seed planets with stargates, so that the crew could easily visit planets once they arrived.   So this gives the show a familiar yet different concept. Destiny is on auto-pilot. It flies from system to system. There are stargates out there, which means the characters can still go through the gate and explore, just like any Stargate show, except the gates are much shorter range than those in the milky way and pegasus. And Destiny leaves orbit after a certain time limit, which adds a ticking-clock element.   This all makes it feel familiar and yet fresh. I love it.   Rush has made the reasonable assumption that whatever they need is on the other side of that wormhole. The kino tells them about the atmosphere of the planet on the other side. There are four other gates in range. Rush is convinced this is the planet they need to look at, because this is the one the ship chose.   So Young assembles a team. Palmer the geologist. Franklin, a civilian scientist, Rush, Scott, And Eli wants to go too.   Rush and Scott are both hesitant about Eli going. He’s not trained for this. But Young points out that in order to survive, everyone, regardless of training or position, are going to have to step up. Young needs to know what Eli is made of.   Eli really is the heart of this show. He’s the character we can identify with. He’s a normal guy, and he’s a fellow nerd. Plus, he’s the good moral down-to-earth bloke amongst all the melodrama of the other characters. I really like him.   And that’s where part 2 ends, as they step through the gate.   As I said, I originally watched this 3-parter as one big movie, but I think I’ve yabbered on for long enough. We’ll save part 3 for the next episode. I should be out getting some steps for my walk to mordor challenge, but it’s so hot at the moment. Summer doesn’t usually hit Tasmania until January, and it’s definitely hit the last couple of days. Maybe I should swim to Mordor.   I will do another Walk To Mordor episode some time, but probably not for a little while.   If you’re new here, you might be interested to hear about my book series, Jewel of The Stars. Just like Stargate Universe, it focuses on a group of people trapped on a spaceship, who weren’t planning for a long-term voyage. Unlike Destiny, it’s a luxury cruise ship. They were only supposed to be on board for a week, but while they were away Earth fell to an alien invasion, so now they can’t go home. They’re travelling through un-explored space. They may be the last free humans in the galaxy.   The series is structured like a TV series. Seasons of 6 episode. Each episode is a 30,000 word novella, so while shorter than a novel, it’s still a decent read. There is an on-going story arc through the whole series, but I aim to make each book a satisfying experience in its own right.   You can check out the first episode for just 99 cents by going to books2read.com/jewel and that’s the number 2. Or you can get a free prequel story by going to AdamDavidCollings.com/free   I’ll be back next week to talk about Air Part 3. Until then Have a great week   Live long and prosper.   Make it so.

You know how EVERYTHING is energy right? Well, there are a total of 12+1 DNA  strands in a human body.  Each DNA strand corresponds to a dimensional frequency band of consciousness.  There is a powerful process called Atlantean DNA Activations  that actually re-wires your energy conduits for more expansive light accretion into your morphogenetic field.  In short, you effortlessly begin to experience higher states of consciousness, awakening the great master within you. Fascinating! Well one of my wonderful Light Warriors and fellow healer Chaikim Lee is an expert in this area and she agreed to come on my radio show to give us a real live taste of what this activation feels like.. LIVE on the show! You won't want to miss this interview as we talk about: How we can transform our DNA to support our aging process, enhance our spiritual abilities and more..What is the Greater Atlantean Awakening?How the Atlantean DNA Activations has been successful for healing and supporting us with the Ascension process Chaikim will be offering us up a LIVE Group Process, and even live Mini Healings as well (as time permits). We are so excited and blessed to have her on the show! To learn more about Chaikim visit www.goldenlights.net

We visit with John again to dig deeper into the question....we're the ancient egyptians a different type of human, spawned from a complete unique form of humanity that was later destroyed or died out?  The great buildings, sculptures and daily utensils used by these people are machined (artifically manufactured), proved by tool engineer Christopher Dunn and others. We'll also discuss, what takes place during a Near Death Experience and what the ancient initiatives understood about this strange and mystical experience.Author, lecturer and guide, John Anthony West delivered a seismic shock to archaeology in the early 1990s when he and Boston University geologist Dr. Robert Schoch revealed that the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, showed evidence of rainfall erosion. Such erosion could only mean that the Sphinx was carved during or before the rains that marked the transition of northern Africa from the last Ice Age to the present interglacial epoch, a transition that occurred in the millennia from 10,000 to 5,000 BC.“Egyptian civilization was not a development, it was a legacy” – John Anthony WestSee more on this and many other presentations on Earth Ancients website: www.earthancients.comJoin us on Gaia, the best streaming media on Earth Ancients - www.gaia.com/earthancients
