SG:U had a lot going for it once it became decent, but why it was part of the SG franchise is baffling to me.

Just reading this reminds me why we always stay at home during Christmas. :)
I support this stance wholeheartedly. It seem like The Right Thing To Do (TM).
A TFR is a type of NOTAM issued to pilots limiting flights in a specific area for a certain amount of time, due to hazardous or other special events. For example, a TFR is issued at airports into which Air Force One is landing.
That's a whole other kind of shiny. I meant highly polished chromed fuselages and stuff, not "why am I having laser eye surgery right now?" ;)
I never though of it that way, but I agree. The Stargate-verse is way more real and alive than the Who-verse, mostly because the Who-verse is always bent around the stories told at the time, and to hell with consistency. The handwavium involved has to do with timelines being constantly being rewritten, but it is…
Different strokes, I guess...
Fair dinkum.
The last couple of seasons were a bit forced to say the least, and I missed O'Neill, but I enjoyed them nevertheless. Ben Browder and the writers at least had the good sense to make Mitchell goofy in a way that was different from O'Neill's goofy.
I can understand why it isn't everyone cup of tea, but for me SG-1 was an entertaining show because it played to its strengths (entertaining characters and a compelling premise) rather than trying to be high concept sci-fi on a low budget. It was unapologetic and relatively "simple" science fiction without trying to…
Word. I keep wanting to ask if I can I interest your world-builders in a little thing called The Coriolis Effect? ;)
A similar lack of diversity that leads to single-use worlds can also happen to whole species too - this can be especially common in sci-fi when a whole planets are seemingly populated by one homogenous mass of the same people without nations or alliances or any sort of diversity, but it can affect anyone.
I agree with the logic. However an engine is held to slightly higher standards than a refrigerator. ;)
Agreed about pylons. I think they do actually remove the pylons, but what they show is the engines being removed, which would happen first. ;)
Many operators don't do D checks any more. What would formerly be part of the D checks is divided up and folded into the C checks, so at every C check you do part of what would have been in the D check. That's why the C checks are called C1, C2, C3 or similar.
Blended Wing Bodies have the nausea issue whether you put the seats in a circle or not.
