Comics, Bones and Leftovers

Hello world,

In order to keep the Stargate Universe 2.0 brief well....euhm....brief (and clear). I left out the mailing list and some other things. Which are now getting their own post. So, here goes....

1. Stargate: Back to Destiny

Today, I realized that - as much as I don't want to - I have to address these comics. There is a conclusion to Stargate Universe in the form on an MGM endorsed comic book series. The problem with these is....

I've read the first three issues on-line....And - without giving anything anyway -  I have to say that the plot is a convoluted string of conveniences and happenstances. It is lazy writing in its most extreme form. On top of that, the artwork is uneven. The whole thing leaves me feeling like MGM tried to throw the fans a bone.

The cheapest bone they could find. Both the fans and the show deserve better.

Yellow Text indicates further updates to this post 

Edit: Just wondering....why should the US Air Force wait for MGM ? Because that's the way its always been done ? I'm sorry, but I'm am sick and tired of that argument. Since when has doing it the way its always been done ever advanced humanity ? If we listened to people accept the status quo all the time....we wouldn't have airplanes...(After all, bicycle makers are not supposed to build flying machines.)....the sound barrier would never have been broken....(Because there were people who said it sound be respected.)....landing on the moon ? Impossible.

If history has taught us one thing, it's that sometimes you have to take the manual and throw it into a supernova. So if Mohammed won't come to the mountain, perhaps I can convince the mountain to come to Mohammed.

3. Frontier Fleet Trouble

I am member of Star Trek: Frontier Fleet. Alas, we have hit a major snag. The folks in Brussels have passed a new privacy law. And making our really, really old website compliant with that law is impossible. So, now we need a new site. And worse, we need a new server and a new mailing list. The only good news in this situation is that we have until 1 May to make this happened. (And something is already being discussed with the upper echelons.) If you want to see the current site (and learn more about Frontier Fleet) before its gone:

And that's it for now.

Regards,

Edmond Dantes
