Thornyrose writes: “There was the threat that wasn’t a threat(no way Destiny and its passengers were going to die, and given the characters aboard the shuttle no doubt they would make it back safely).”
Answer: But every time the Atlantis team went off-world, did you ever expect there was a good chance they wouldn’t be coming back?
Rapport au fait que cela paraissait évident que le vaisseau n'allait pas se détruire ni que l'équipage de la navette allait périr, il répond que c'était plus ou moins la même chose avec SGA: à chaque fois que l'équipe quittait Atlantis pour une mission off-world, il paraissait plus ou moins évident qu'elle allait revenir saine et sauve...

Thornyrose also writes: “How does a ship that generates a shield powerful enough to survive immersion into a star get battle damage? How does the ship convert the stellar energy, and how does the power compare to ZPMs? Why the difference in energy sources between Atlantis and Destiny?”
Answer: Flying into the heart of the star would have destroyed the ship. Instead, it more or less skimmed the surface. It also makes sense that the ship was designed to draw energy from a naturally occurring and convenient power source, like a sun, rather than a ZPM that could be eventually depleted.
...
Thornyrose also writes: “Why would Rush allow the shuttle to be loaded with supplies and leave if he knew Destiny was safe? Why would he come up with a solution to retrieve the shuttle if he wanted to be rid of the other occupants of the ship?”
Answer: All good questions. The likeliest response could be that he suspected, but had no way of knowing for certain, that the ship was designed to draw energy from the star. He planned for the worst but hoped for the best.
...
Thornyrose also writes: “Any idea on when you’ll get official word on the show renewal?”
Answer: Could be as late as December.

EternalDensity writes: “Is Destiny millions of years old (necessary for it to be older than Atlantis, have the potentially oldest stargate, and be a millions of years long trip from Earth) or is it under a million years old (which seems to be indicated by a couple of lines of dialogue in SGU)?”
Answer: I’m going to say millions.
...
Michele writes: “how did this darker tone for this spinoff come about? Also was wondering what was the most exciting part of creating season one and what was the hardest?”
Answer: These are questions that could be best answered by the show’s creators, Brad Wright and Robert Cooper (I’ll twist their arms and get them to do a Q&A before long). From what I understand, they felt that in order for the franchise to continue, rather than end with Atlantis, it needed to be revitalized and taken in a new direction. And SGU has done just that.

Joshua Meyers Extraordinary Teenager writes: “Wouldn’t you think Rodney or for that matter Daniel be a little more interested in the 9 chevron address in the database??”
Anwwer: Sure, but the project has been ongoing for a while and there’s no reason to believe they weren’t consulted.
...
Matt writes: “Is the crew of the Destiny going to encounter any Jaffa, Ancients, Goa’uld, or any other familiar races out there?”
Answer: The Magic 8 Ball says Most Unlikely.
...
Michael also writes: “Since SGU is much more of a serial than its predecessors, will there be less guest villains and one or two reoccurring Big Bad?”
Answer: Oh, there may be a recurring big baddie or two.
Le reste traduit en vrac (je peux me tromper dans la traduction faites gaffe
):
- Il parait évident/logique que le vaisseau a été construit de telle sorte qu'il tire son énergie d'une source naturellement présente dans son environnement. Un ou des ZPM se seraient épuisés avec le temps.
- Rush supposait probablement que le vaisseau allait utiliser l'étoile pour se recharger mais il n'avait aucune certitude. Il avait prévu le pire mais espérait le mieux.
- La décision pour une 2eme saison devrait intervenir en Décembre
- Le vaisseau a plusieurs millions d'années
- Ce sont les créateurs des séries qui ont fait le choix d'une ambiance plus sombre pour SGU. Ils ne voulaient pas terminer sur SGA, il était nécessaire de renouveller la franchise et de l'amener dans une nouvelle direction.
- Rodney et Daniel ont été consulté de près ou de loin pour le projet Icarus (9eme chevron)
- Il est peu probable que l'équipage du Destiny rencontre une race familière de la franchise (ironique dans sa réponse?)
- Il est possible qu'il y ait un ou deux gros méchants récurrents (ce qui contredit ce que les créateurs ont dit)
et le plus marrant pour la fin ^^

DemonHunter writes: “I haven’t watched any SGU episodes (no access to them yet) but it seems from reading the mailbag that the show is mainly just a bunch of stranded people having sex. Is that where most of the story lines come from?”
Answer: Pretty much. At the beginning of the season, we write all of the characters’ names down on little pieces of paper and put them in something we call “the sex hat”. Then, we reach in and pull out two names. This random pairing are earmarked to have sex in a given episode and, from this notion, we spin out a possible story.
Oui donc il est bien ironique et sarcastique parfois.
. J'espère qu'il est ironique sur ce coup la

. Nous paralysant par son simple regard nous déchiquetant d'un seul coup de mâchoire
