Малоцци в своем блоги отвечал на вопросы по сериалу. Есть некоторые обсуждаемые топики. Наиболее интересные решил запостить.

Answer: And how exactly were they supposed to do that? The control to seal the door wasn’t some giant button they could sail the kino into in the hopes that the impact would initiate the seal. In fact, you can see the senator first press one button on the seat console, then move down to press another. The kino’s surface area wouldn’t have allowed for pinpoint accuracy. Yes, Rush had a pencil, and even IF someone happened to have brought the masking tape to fasten it to the kino, you’re making several more assumptions: 1) that in the short time Eli has been working with the kino, he would be capable of controlling it with the accuracy needed to hit those particular buttons, and 2) the kino would possess enough force to trigger the buttons.
TBA writes: “304’s are able to easily destroy Ori battlecruisers, Wraith hives, and Replicator Aurora warships, but the Hammond is forced to retreat for three puny Ha’taks?”
Answer: You’re assuming that while Earth has made progress with its shields and weaponry, the rest of the galaxy has remained stagnant.
Richard Watts also writes: “I hope that the IOA lady gets killed in some episode, just because I already got a bad vibe from her arrogant character…”
Answer: How is she arrogant? Given the situation, I would be just as panicked and quick to demand answers. I love the Wray character and I’m sure that many fans will grow to love her as well as the series progresses.
PBMom writes: “Or will unprotected sex on Destiny have unexpected consequences?”
Answer: Tune in to find out.
Thornyrose writes: “Col. Carter indicated that the number of MIA was a bit under 100(have to watch again to pick up the exact number, though 92 comes to mind). Have you as writers/producers keeping count of how many people get killed off? More importantly,have you sketched out basic info on those characters we’ve either not seen, or saw only as bodies flying through the Stargate?”
Answer: We have an approximate number for the group of survivors who came through the gate and have maintained episode to episode consistency with character references and background extras.
Mary writes: “The basic story was very good, although with some flaws – it’s hard for me to buy the idea that the CO2 scrubbers were all worn out when it was made clear in the dialogue that no one had ever been on the ship before; there didn’t seem to be a good reason why the INTERIOR door to the shuttle was broken when, again, no one was on the ship.”
Answer: Yeah, good questions. Why would they have this sort of trouble if the ship remained unmanned? And has Destiny sustained damage – almost as if its fallen victim to an attack of some sort? Weird.
Mary also writes: “ I’m disappointed that the decision was made to go with the
young black man trope with Greer.”
Answer: I’ve mentioned in previous entries that the “angry military character” – Ron “Psycho” Stasiak – was not originally envisioned as a young black man. But Jamil Walker Smith blew us away with his audition and landed the role. Like the rest of our main characters, we’ll be learning a lot more about his backstory and the type of person he is over the course of this first season. Also, it will be interesting to read the response to the Greer character after tonight’s episode. Months ago, Rob and I sat down to watch a director’s cut of Air III with our wives. After we were done, I asked them which character they liked best. They were in agreement – they LOVED Sgt. Greer. I told Jamil this and now, every time I see him on set, he reminds me to “Say hi to your wife for me!”
Paddy writes: “I saw in the opening whislt seeing the destiny that she had some pretty big guns on her* Will we see them in action?”
Answer: Oh, we will.
Paddy also writes: “The Destiny was huge, not that many people on board. I saw weve probaly seen 2% of the ship? There going to be some real cool stuff layin around even if broken?”
Answer: Yep, plenty to explore and plenty to discover.
HBMC writes: “I thought SGU was trying to avoid alien cultures that spoke perfect modern English or were just humans in prosthetics?”
Answer: Any aliens originating from any of these new galaxies will be very different from the aliens we’ve encountered in either the Milky Way or Pegasus.
