Destiny reaches an abandoned modern civilization on a planet in the throes of seismic destruction. While the crew retrieves valuable data archives stored underground, Rush discovers a possible way to help the planet's survivors.
I haven't watched this show since they found out that one dude had found the bridge and was holding out on them. Has it gotten any better?
I didn't make it through the 1st half of season 1. Absolutely nothing that I saw made me want to watch it any more.
I watched part of the last episode and there is still to much tension on the ship. It's basically, Star Trek Voyager mixed with the new (sucky) Battlestar Galactica.

Oh, and it was hysterical, Brody as the angry old man telling kids to get the hell of his lawn....

What about those robot ships again? How did destiny get to Novus? FTL? What about the robot ships?
I think it was determined that the robot ships were homing in on the emanations from using the stargates, and not the ships ftl.
The main city and the archive got totalled JUST after they got there.
This whole plotline reminds me of the Deep Space 9 episode Children of Time.
It seems a rather strange diversion to be having at the end of the series, but I'm not sure how much warning the writers had about the cancellation.
Yeah, their ancestors were there for 2000 years but the minute they go down into the bomb shelter to get the desperately needed information the planet blows up.
It's crap like that which just burns me up.
Didn't Eli say it would take 37 hours to transfer the data? They got 1/3rd so they were there a little over 12 hours before the archive goes down for good... Even if you add a bunch of setup time and what not, maybe 20 hours before?
Even in the future people aren't happy with their internet speed......
Eli said they had gotten 900 exabytes. It was nice to hear a data size figure that made me go "Whoah!" instead of some of the laughable ones you sometimes run across when watching older shows. For the metrically-challenged, that's 900 BILLION gigabytes. If you had a connection that was a full 1 Gbps (i.e. typical modern wired home switch), it would take over 228,000 YEARS to copy that data. Given that they could do it over wireless in a matter of hours, it was a pretty impressive transfer rate, but your point is still funny.

Couldn't destiny just figure out how fast those ships would be travelling, plot a most likely course to the next planet, figure out how far they would have gotten, go FTL to those coordinates and then do a relatively quick search pattern? Seems worth trying no?
