This sounds outstanding, I hope we get a look or some info on the seeder ships!!

AWESOME! i honestly don’t think i can wait that long

Oh look sure is B(SG) around these parts… Oh who am I kidding! I’m mighty fine with that!

Sounds spectacular! October cannot come soon enough!

@hookedonSG Space Gates were designed for Puddle Jumpers since Destiny was launched from a different Era I don’t think we will see any.

Ooo! The Ancients sent out the Destiny to meet the Furlings! We are going to see the Furlings!

I’d laugh if the it’s destination was back to Earth or possible to find Atlantis, hell why not even to meet a still living bunch of Ancients

Looking forward to Season 2 in October.

@gpaste, who knows (just threw it out there), but correct me if I am wrong but don’t the Gates do some sort of Auto update, it’s also possible that this update could also add gates to the system, and Atlantis would have been one of the last Gates to be added/updated to the Gate network, it’s Scifi anythings possible

Finally.. they could use a whole spin-off just to focus on this storyline.. I’d still buy SGU on iTunes.. I swear.. I might not get around to watching it “every” week.. but promise by Christmas every year! Full speed ahead.. can we speed through a few episodes?

wow, tooooo little toooooooo late. and all it took was losing 60 percent of their starting ratings. cool.

Finally, it has been so long since we have had an interesting ancient mythology arc.

Somme, what is the spoiler in the headline? I tried to be very deliberate about this, leaving out words like “destination.” But if I can do better, I’d like to.

I really like this. I would find it difficult to believe that someone reading this doesn’t immediately want to know what this “cosmic destination” is, or what it is all about.

My only problem with this without having more information is that the ship has been cruising along for over a million years by best guess so far, so what destination could they be going to that is close enough to reach in the span of the show/the crew’s life? Is it all too coincidental that they show up on the ship right before it reaches its destination? Or, does the “destination” have more to do with ascension and is now only possible due to the fact that Destiny has a human crew aboard? I find it interesting to say the least, but I am certainly looking for a few more details (which means they’ve got me hook, line and sinker).

@Darren Sumner – I have to think Somme is trolling a little bit here. The title does NOT have a spoiler in it. And if it seemed like a spoiler (which you are presumably trying to avoid), then why enter the thread where there is SURE to be much bigger spoilers. That seems silly to me. (Also, anyone trying to stay 100% spoiler-free might want to avoid this site. For all its awesomeness, there are a lot of really good spoilers here for those seeking them.)

Wow! Let me guess, the Destiny is really powered by tiny creatures called midichlorians so that it can find and destroy the Xindi weapon and save Earth.

Great I’m excited. Now the show has a direction, a purpose. Something it was missing in the first season. My only real nitpick of the show was that it was directionless. Now hopefully we can get more people on board to watch this show now that we can tell them there is a purpose.

I cannot wait for Season 2 and have been thinking about the destination of cosmic importance. For something to be that important is has to be amazing and there aint been that much in Stargate that’s been amazing, space-wise, except for battles. I have a number of ideas:

*Destiny could tumble upon an Ori Supergate. The Ori built one in the Milky Way so they could send a vanguard of ships’ whose to say they didn’t do the same elsewhere.

*(my best idea) Destiny stumbles upon the Gondolthian Nebula (which is mentioned in SG-1′s Season 8 Episode – Threads). The Ancients’ had completed construction of their consciousness superhighway (pod network) and Rush manages to hack into the system and contact Homeworld Command. Rush, McKay, Zelenka and Carter come up with a way to transmit an Asgard transporter beam through the network, Carter takes the General Hammond to the closest pod in the Milky Way Galaxy and beams a test-object, which successfully arrives. Using this short-term method of transportation, new personnel and equipment could be sent to Destiny.

OMGZ! Why do they have to tease me? Now I am peeing in my pants with my tail wagging waiting for the next season!!!!

is it October yet? I am putting my money on something new that we have never seen the SG universe before. Important enough that the ancients sent this extra-galactic ship to find it. Full well knowing that it would take several thousands of generations to get there. Most likely the center of the universe, where it all began. Some sort of unimaginable stellar wonder.

Maybe they’re heading towards Sha Ka Ree, or the Guardian of Forever…

Assuming that the Big Bang theory is correct could they not be going to the origin of the Big Bang? whould it not be amazing to see the single place in the known userverse that spawned All the galaxies? Might find something pretty interesting there….

I just hope it has something to do with Furlings

@dodbrd16
The ship was launched without a crew. The ancients intended to use the ship at a later stage. But they never did.
Whatever it will be it’s to little to late.
This show has been the biggest let down in the whole SG franchise. They are trying to fix it now with space-battles and more action but the major of viewers have left already.

Destiny is travelling along a course, that course does not make a u-turn (it could do in the future), so wherever the debris field came from, it must’ve come from someone else.

I am still wondering how the two crews are gona work together, as none are gona b left to fend for themselves, so mayb a compromise is reached? Perhaps the best idea would be to allow Keva to die from her gun shot injury, allowing Telford (if Lucian Alliance rules state that whoever kills the leader becomes leader themselves), to take command of them.

maby destiny has reached its original destination and done evrything it could at its destination and decided to search for the same thing some where else

also this destiny could be trying to get to on of the stargate seeders ships and allow the crew to board it and use find a planet that they can dial back to earth from. (if not then they could find supplyes and repairs for the original destiny :D

This sounds promising. I thought like most series’ first seasons, it was pretty hit and miss as they tried to find their ground and see what works. These new ideas sound great, but I really hope they do some interesting non-humanoid aliens though. Bipeds are so boring.

indeed. I couldnt agree more. I’d LOVE to see gaseous, elementals, aquatics ect. If they are relying on CGI, then they dont really have the excuse of “budget limitations”. To be honest, its my only pet peeve with SGU so far – otherwise I think it will get better and better from season2.

I sort of wish they would give us a comparison to give us an idea of how epic the space battle will be. Will it be on the scale of Anubis invading Earth and getting destroyed by the Ancient weapons platform? Will it be on the scale of the Ori battle at the Supergate? Will it be on the scale of the battle over Asuras? I wanna know!!!

@richardjoy, why would they make a seed ship so powerful? Their sole missions are to deliver stargates. The Ancients only anticipated boarding the Destiny, so the seed ships likely won’t have capabilities exceeding those of the Destiny. What I think is more likely is that for some time vessels have been following the seed ships (like the ‘Space’ aliens had been following the Destiny) and the battle took place when several races that were following the seed ships converged and fought each other to gain exclusive access.

Actualy, what I think is going to happen is that Destiny’s mission was to find out if it is possible to break through a barrier of the universe. Remember when Daniel Jackson was brought to the ascended beings’ diner by Oma Desala and he say the newspaper? It said “edge of the universe discovered”. What if Destiny’s mission was to go past the edge? I just had an epiphany..I feel all tingley now. Look at the spoiler preview of season 2. It says, “Once you have gone to the edge, the only place to go is further.” or something like that. They are billions of lightyears from Earth. The universe is thought to be 13.7 billion years old. Hello? anyone made the connection? Destiny is going to get to the edge of the Destiny and maybe try to go through the edge in FTL mode. I guess the reason the Ancients gave up Destiny was because they thought that once they ascended, they would be able to go through anyways, maybe that plan failed. That ship wreck field is probably something to spice up the show. I can’t believe that Rush keeps it all to himself..that’s crazy, it doesn’t even really matter. It’s not like they can turn the ship around. Well, they can but Destiny has been flying in a relatively straight path so it will take like 50 million years to go back to earth. But then again, I wonder how getting to the edge of the universe will allow them to get back to earth..I Love SGU!!!!!! It’s more enigmatic than the other shows. You never know what’s going to happen next.
