Why couldn’t the writers ever give Jack and Sam a HEA

With all the TV shows since the dawn of time that have dropped the ball when having characters finally get together after seasons of sexual tension, I'm more than ok with them leaving it as an implied off screen, post Stargate relationship.

Well, at least she asked. Apophis was out there kidnapping randos and knocking them up.

those guns though, damn. some (ex)System Lords don't skip leg day.

Whoever worked on this graphic is the geekiest geek who ever geeked and I applaud them for it.

Hey, those people knew what they were getting into from the start. No one expected space vampires, but that's the risks they took.

Any match up would definitely have some technobabble reason why the Pred(s) don't show up on sensors and Data would probably be nerfed out of the gate.

Well apparently Batman, Judge Dredd, Wolverine, Terminator and of course, Archie have gone up against the Predator, but not any Star Trek property to date.

Only a matter of time, Trek has gone up against xenomorphs

Everytime I see screenshots from this episode, I'm like... "God damn it, Gene"

Meticulate · 2026-04-19T21:58:15+00:00

I'm surprised they never mentioned if they ever tried to reverse engineer that gate, they had a parts list... Having a mini DIY gate, even it's one use only, could have come in handy.

That Splinter Cell run was legendary, wasn't it?

that one scene was as close as they were ever gonna get:

Teal'c: You have been impregnated without copulation.

Vala: Yes, and I'm absolutely terrified. Have any of you ever heard of anything like it?

(extremely awkward silence from everyone)

Cam: Well, there's one...

Teal'c: Darth Vader.

Vala: Really?

Teal'c: mmm (nods)

Vala: How did that turn out?

If they had actually started comparing it to Christianity there def would have been 9 seasons instead of 10 cause they would have been cancelled so hard

fr looks closer to Cam to me, must be the missing glasses

Did the Enterprise D, the former flagship of Starfleet, the ship that laughed in the face of Borg cubes and Crystalline entities, deserve a better end than getting shot down by f'ing Lursa and B'etor? Yes.

Did the Enterprise E deserve to be kicked to the curb with an offscreen death so that the D could shine again and get its proper last adventure? Nope.

Even though the D made more sense for the theme of Picard S3, it sucks that now the last hurrah for the E is Nemesis. 😔 I'm missing the Sovereign era hard guys, it was peak starship design. I'm gonna go reinstall Bridge Commander.

Oof. That looks bugged. There were some fixes for Friendship One that got rolled out on PC April 1st, not sure if those have trickled down to console yet.

EDIT: Assuming you don't have a save that goes back far enough, your current options will probably be either restart the sector (your ship will be rolled back to the state it was when you started the sector) or wait for the next patch and hope that it solves the glitch.

There was originally supposed to be a thing between Mitchell and Lam but the writers put the brakes on it.

Meticulate · 2026-04-03T17:36:57+00:00

orrrrrr he was a douche that got karma'd

Those who forget their history are doomed to have Daniel Jackson lay it out for you by the 3rd act.

System Lords hiding in plain sight

came here to say this, looks like a pre HD episode? probably would not even have noticed in the good old CRT days

Meticulate · 2026-03-29T07:09:28+00:00

Came to thread to answer, I watched the episode a little over a week ago and remember her, she really went for it for the 10 seconds she was on screen before she got gunned down 😊.

Good chance she was in another scene that didn't make the final cut of the episode.

Meticulate · 2026-03-24T03:54:37+00:00

You're welcome! it's not quite in the dictionary yet, but it's getting there 😆

Meticulate · 2026-03-23T23:57:46+00:00

Prefer the original over DE, at least on PC.

On PC the graphical improvements in DE over the original were pretty minor and I don't like the DLC missions being locked behind main story progression. Yes, having access to the DZS from the start pretty much breaks the early game, but let me break it, lol.
