The EDGE course is prtety dead these days IIRC they had to eliminate like half of it to make way for the south building that was built in the original Uru ramp-up. The original building's definitely a cool place, though it got a little eerie after dark when it was just me and Cowart (for those still inexplicably unawares, I did MOUL support for about a month and a half before the episodes started) .

Hey what happened with SGU? It was genttig better towards the end of the 2nd series and it had a lot of potential with the drones being a looming factor over the ship e.g. the drones had worked out destiny's weakness. There could have been a whole storyline based on the origins of the drones and how the crew of the destiny could find out how to overcome this by finding the central control planet'. True the first series was a bit of a fail but hasn't every Si-Fi series had at least one bad season? Well they decided to solve it by basically skipping the galaxy altogether. Although this a strait forward measure however this misses out opportunities such as meeting their descendantsthat could have been on other planets plus the afore mentioned opportunity with the drones.The show did leave itself a cliff hanger though and could be picked back up by ease. Maybe half way through the journey a malfunction causes the ship to drop out of hyperspace?
