GateWorld Podcast: ‘Twin Destinies’

Visit the GateWorld Podcast page for more about the show!

Two Destinies, two Rushes, and two Telfords make for one hell of a story! This week on a super-sized edition of the GateWorld Podcast we’re talking about “Twin Destinies,” with special guest Diana Botsford joining Darren and David. (Follow her on Twitter for more goodness.)

We’ll talk about time travel and duplicates, Eli’s confidence at dialing the Stargate from inside a star, and the First Annual All-Destiny Scavenger Hunt. We’ll also discuss the characters’ shifting priorities, their decision to leave the ship (or stay), and whether Rush was lying to himself (literally). We’ll also sort out those confusing issues with overlapping timelines and rewriting history. And we’ll hear what other fans thought of this episode!

Give us a call on the GateWorld Podcast Hotline to join in next week’s show! Please keep your message brief, and be sure to call by Friday if you want to get your thoughts on our “Alliances” show.

  • You guys should've made it like there was a duplicate of one of you joining in that conversation.

  • Nevermind,you gave us the extended version,almost twice the usual duration and it was awesome!And since a lot of people seemed to be confused about the time paradox,thanx for clearing that up.Within the stargate mythos and modern scientific views on time travel it adopts,there was no time paradox at all.
    Very interesting discussion on what I agree is the best SGU episode so far.

  • Guys, i don't feel like leaving a voicemail or sending an email,But, i have a question you guys may discuss,here it is, "Any idea what would happen if Destiny makes an FTL Jump within an star?" They never discussed that within the show and im pretty sure eli has never gotten that idea either..Just curious...

  • What we need is Daniel Jackson to use the stones... He would drool on all the consoles and the bridge... xD

  • @StargateDominator I think Destiny would blow up if that happens. FTL doesnt open up a subspace window like what would happen in hyperspace. Pretty much FTL is just going 10 times faster than sublight. Source: SGA season 3 episode 10

  • puddlejumper_1 You mean 10 times faster than light,right?Yeah I agree,since it doesn't use a hyperspace jump,it would explode within a star.if it could use the hyperspace tech and opened up a window inside a star,that star would go supernova.

  • @Jim Yeah I guess 10 times faster than light. I just used what happened in SGA season 3x10 as measurement. Seeing how the Atlantian Battleship was going about 10 times faster than the Daeduleus was when it was at max sublight. And the FTL drive is one thing I hate about on SGU, its much slower than hyperdrive tech. Btw the situation very much similar to Star Trek Enterprise in that they were using old technology versus the technology we were use to from TNG. I can just imagine what would happen if Destiny can come home back to Earth, all the technology we can sup it up with.

  • @jim and @puddlejumper_1, Didn't they explain that when your in FTL Mode,isn't time much slower within the ship??? Because i remember in Atlantis,They said when they found the ancient battle ship,the crew members on board only experienced 10 years,but it was actually 10,000 years,due to the FTL effect.So,what iam asking is, Is the same thing happening to Destiny when they are in FTL? i mean, if the same thing IS happening,Then 1 hour in FTL would only be like 1 minute on Earth....

  • @Jim As O'neil would say.."time is relative." Yes I think you are correct though
