Talk:The Return (Stargate Atlantis)

message: Shame they can't send SG-1 in to recover SGA-1, they have experience fighting evil machines. Plus while they are there they could ask the rescued ancients about the freakin' Ori perhaps?! Also, notice, not one use of the name Asurans...
They couldn't have, most likely, the Ori were forgotten about millions of years ago and only the Ascended Ancients knew about them in recent Ancient history, not all Ancients. Plus, Merlin alone made the Sangraal, only he would know where it is and plus, it looks like SG-1 may finally find it.

message: I just watched this episode five minutes ago, (when it aired on TV).  I was admzaed to find so much detail in the article already.  After reading it, I couldn't make any sense of it.  Then I realized that this article starts at part 2, the part that hasn't aired yet.  It doesn't even mention part 1.  The organization here makes no sense.  Tobyk777 05:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Needs a Major Major Major Cleanup

message: Upon Colonel Sheppard's dialling into Earth in the first few minutes of Part I, he both failed to send an IDC or use a GDO. The SGC also failed to receive any authentication tranmission to open the iris. Instead, standard gate room protocol was broken by failing to close the iris on any incoming wormhole until it is authenticated. Indeed, if protocol hadn't been fortunantly neglected for some unknown reason, Sheppard's jumper, along with the Colonel himself, would have slammed into the trinium/titanium alloy iris with a rather loud thud. Either the SGC is has abandoned the use of its iris against incoming unidentified wormholes, or the SGC are psychics.
Even more amusing is the gap between the wormhole opening and the jumper emerging being less than that of a second; amusing in that the iris would not have been able to open even in response to a GDO authentication code received through the open wormhole in the time alloted to prevent the death of Sheppard. It'd have been impossible to use the iris, authenticate the traveller through a radio transmission through the open wormhole, and have opened it, as the jumper immediantly popped straight into the room from the second it had finished dialling in and established an inbound connection. Not only is the iris not being used for defence, leaving the SGC open to attack as if any gate, but they can't even use the iris now because thier own people (E.G. Colonel Sheppard) will slam into the iris faster than it can be safley cleared and opened.
I guess the SGC just leave the 'front door' lying wide open for just anyone to walk in upon these days. So much for identifying incoming travellers to make sure Jonny Nobody doesn't happen to send a nuke or something through, as had happened to thhe SGC several times in the past, usually being saved by the very policy of keeping the iris sealed until they're certain it's a friendly inbound.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.110.113 (talk) 01:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Near the beginning of the episode there is a view of a regular spiral galaxy lined up with the stargate in space, which I assume is meant to be the Milky Way. However the Milky Way is believed to be a barred spiral galaxy. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milky_Way#Structure for more. VJDocherty 20:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor astronomical error?? 

message: While I grant that it's not clear whose jumper it is that Sheppard and company use to travel back to Atlantis at Part 1's end, it's not necessarily likely that they kept an Atlantis jumper. After all, the AsuransLanteans make a big deal about taking back their city: would they give them a jumper out of the goodness of their hearts? Answer: not likely. The jumper doesn't have the time machine element attached to it as well, so it's not clear that it's the one from Maybourne's plant, but the machine may have been removed. Either way, it's not clear where it comes from, and perhaps the note should reflect that. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 02:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Daedalus trip

message: surly the ancient war ship is still halfway between galaxy's and yet there has been no attempt to recover it.
No point in recovering it: It is far to heavy to tow through hyperspace, it has no hyperdrive of its own; if the crew, being Ancients, could not fix it, even McKay could not do it either. If there was even a chance of fixing that ship, the crew would have cannibalized any system on board to get parts for the hyperdrive, and the ship was already damaged; (they had just retreated from a battle).--Edgjerp 17:56, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Ancients on the ship probably didn't have the resources to repair the ship. I haven't read any spoilers for season 4, but I don't think it's unlikely that McKay or Zelenka could find some data in the database for repairing the ship. Presumably, if the ship has indeed been left in space.RypER 22:23, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What happened to the ancient ship? 

message: can i just point out to who ever wrote the trivia section that when Dr Weir said that she was a mage Dr had just been talking to her about what he was so it is in context and not in accurate.
P.S.
remember that the stargate universe is fictional so in there universe the level cap may be level 75.
One could point out, that World of Warcraft wasn't realesed until after the expedition left Earth and that Wier couldn't be able to play, since there was no communication with the internet possible from Atlantis.

replies: text: Whoever said she actually plays it? She seems to be simply talking about something she (or McKay) knows he is enthusiastic about to keep him distracted. Fullforce 11:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  part 2 

message: Here's something that someone pointed out to me, and maybe someone can figure it out.
So the plan is to install the crystals from the ARGs in the shield emitters, yes? There are 10 of these emitters, but apparently only one crystal per ARG (assuming I counted correctly). Each of them carried one ARG, and there doesn't seem to have been any spares brought along. So question one:
:How could they modify 10 shield emitters with only 6 crystals (unless they didn't need all 10 emitters)?
Also, after they install the crystals, Teyla and Beckett storm the chair room and activate the drones to take out Atlantis's stardrive. But this means that they don't have working ARGs anymore - in fact, Sheppard points out in the flashback that they shouldn't fire on the Asurans, even if it means capture (so as not to tip off the Asurans that they don't have working ARGs). So question two:
:How could Teyla take out the Asuran guards with ARG blasts if her weapons had no crystals?
I'll be mulling this over myself, but I thought I'd throw it out there. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 09:34, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Is there a plan to remove all Notes sections from all pages? Necnec 20:57, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you see a policy/guideline tag on that page? No. It's simply an essay (opinion), you'll notice it was created back in '05, policy & guidelines have evolved since then. Eventually they'll all be removed. Matthew 21:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really understand. Has this page removed from SG project? Has anyone defined new stylesheet for SG pages? Where are the new policy & guidelines? I don't really understand why I should get a ocnsensus when the actual change came from tone (unless, of course, there was a decision to change to whole sturcutre of the SG pages).

replies: text:  Yes, clearly you don't. Do you see a project banner at the top of this talk page? I do, so no, it's part of the wikiproject. Do you see a guideline/policy tag on that stylesheet essay defining it as a rule? No. Therefore logic dictates that it's still just an essay which carries no weight over actual policy.
