Let's Mock Stargate Universe!

I think the writers keep forgetting which ship their characters are on. Supposedly there were two ships - the unmanned stargate squirter which went out first and a manned ship that followed behind to see where the first ships shat out the gates. BUT in the premiere, the characters made a point of saying that the Destiny had never had a crew which would make it the first ship, The Mighty Gate Squirter. But that statement was also fail because if the Destiny had always been unmanned then why did it have crew quarters, a shuttle, and a life support system that had been turned on?

Just thinking about this show makes my head hurt.
