Don't Expect Logic When You Can Have Tits.

You know, something just occurred to me...

The Density is supposed to be farting Stargates into the void, right?

So why are there obviously-ancient old-skool Stargates on The Planet Of The Air-Scrubbers and like that?

Also, what keeps them from dialling home on any of them?

Lastly, if someone else says "We're Not Supposed To Be Here" I shall do something dramatic.

Please do. At least then there will be something interesting.

It pleases me that I'm not the only one who keeps spotting huge, glaring holes in the plot and points where the backstory just doesn't hold together.

I'm still watching but I only like Col. Young, and I have a suspicion he might get killed off. I want everyone else to die, they're all decent actors but I loathe the characters. I've gone back to S1 SG-1 and it's impressive how quickly a (relatively) convincing universe and technologies were sketched in, and how distinct the characters were. 5 episodes into 'SG - Ugh, No' and I'm still calling a character "Tits" because I can't remember her name. I know that anything they do will be stupid, because the writers want to keep the characters in an entirely artificial state of constant pretend-peril, like Scooby Doo in Space, instead of having a ship full of highly intelligent people work on a solution.

About the stargate thing. Somewhere in the jumbled mess of the first episode Rush tells someone that Destiny wasn't the first ship. There were others sent out in advance of Destiny that "seeded" supposedly habitable worlds with gates.

Do they have the place-of-origin symbol anywhere? Or are they doing a repeat of Stargate-the-movie's 'let's guess the symbol'? Because if they have it, yes, they could go back to Earth, or P3X something or other or any number of other places.

Can these people, in other words, find their way out of a paper bag that has not been closed?

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.
