StarGate Universe Episode Discussion 'Common Descent"
WARNING SPOILERS !!!
yeah they people that they found did say that they were ther for 30 years, so you would think they would have seny other to different planets.shockwave04I think they said something about not being able to dial other addresses that they knew. So do we suppose it is going to turn out that Futura created the drones in the first place? What would have been a huge mind**** would be if the Destiny survivors had gone way way way back in time and become the Alterans :P I do agree with theone on the drone destroying the gate; also, even if it could have, the gate should have blown up pretty violently with the amount of energy used for an active wormhole, at least based on what we've been told before.
Only one slight problem, and that's the gate getting destroyed from one drone blast. Gates have stood up to untold kinds of forces, hell one gate survived black hole forces that ripped a planet apart, and that gate gets a chunk taken out by one blast.theone86
It could be possible that the gates in SGU are even older than the ones in Atlantis, so not as advanced.
So I've now convinced myself that this episode was a setup for what would have been the series finale where the crew travels back and becomes the Ancients. The conflict between the Tenarans (I think that was it?) and the Futurans seems a lot like the Alteran/Ori split and it would explain why the Ancients have so many physical and genetic similarities to modern humans. It would also fit nicely with the name of "the Destiny", if they knew that the ship had to be launched in order for them to exist. Since it seems like we'll never know, I'm just going to assume that I'm right :Pxaos
No offense, but I would hate that. Also wouldn't they then have knowledge of the Goua'uld, Replicators, Wraith, and everyone else and be able to defeat them all in advance?

Not any more than the version of SG-1 that chased Ra and the Goa'uld off of Earth kept the Replicators and Wraith from being a problem, talking about fulfilling history, not changing it. And I didn't say it was a necessarily good idea, just seemed like something that they might have been setting up, considering the amount of attention that has gone into this whole thing with the other Destiny crew[QUOTE="theone86"][QUOTE="xaos"]So I've now convinced myself that this episode was a setup for what would have been the series finale where the crew travels back and becomes the Ancients.

I mean, if the Ancients are really humans then what harm is changing history so that the Ancients never vanish in the first place and thus never have to go back to the level of humanity? That, and it would also make the whole SGU thing seems like an endless cycle of them becoming ancients, dying off, spawning humans, and eventually coming back into existence as their past selves and starting the whole thing over again, makes my head hurt.
As for if it will happen, didn't they finish filming before the series got cancelled?
