- "Skeleton crew" doesn't even begin to cover the situation!
Team SG-A find themselves trapped on board a reality-hopping Daedalus ; shortly thereafter, they become entangled in a conflict with a small army of alien marauders.
It’s a crime we never had the time to develop those ennemies, I would have loved a second part episode like the Aschen one, realising oh wow that’s the ennemies we faced when we boarded the alternate Daedalus.
I once heard that these guys were supposed to be the new big bad for SGA Season 6. There's a couple fanfics which have interesting takes on them.
The dangers of debuting in the final season.

its a shame we never found out who or where they came from or why they arnt in the prime reality.
Judging by the sound their fighters make and the shape of their ships, they come off as an alternate version of the wraith that developed more conventional technology rather than the organic ships and weapons seen in the main reality.
@@bombkangaroo my first thought was tauri's design mixed with wraiths...
I'm guessing they exist in the prime reality but the Atlantis team has yet to cross paths with them or never did due to a different sequence of events.
@@bombkangaroo an interesting theory. they would have to be very different biologically tho as to not need to feed. there weapons are meant for killing and the 1 that grabbed ronan didnt even try to feed just choke him to death.

ROFL - funny jab Teyla does to Ronon :) (.... i was busy :))
Really what they needed to do was control the directions of the jumps, back and forth, until the power ran out and marooned this Daedalus in their own universe. It might have taken a while, but a whole extra ship with new tech and data would be well worth the effort.
Никогда не понимал откуда там искры при попадании в корабль. Если это от перегрузки при попадании в щит, то значит это что-то вроде индуктивности и обраткного импульса который прошел в энергосистемы корабля, а это значит что инженер идиот и не предусмотрел ни разделение питания разных энергосистем, ни сглаживание скачков напряжения (а раз щит так создан то в нем должен быть предусмотрен механизм защиты от таких скачков чтобы они не шли в обратку). Так тут вроде все предусмотрено, но непредусмотрена такая мелочь, глупо же.
This enemy was perfect for if the show ever beats the Wraith
i heard they were suppose to replace the wrath as the baddie in s6.
"I was busy" -jack sparrow
It was always really impressive how the makers of the Stargate series would put so much effort into a one-time alien/ship. Far more than Paramount put into Trek.
Apparently these aliens were suppose to have a bigger role if season 6 was Aired, i imagine thats why they kind emphasized some of the scenes. Also the ghost in the machine episode where weir was still inhabiting atlantis system, she explained there are advanced races out there hidden from the wraith, so she is probably setting up non-wraith enemies, allies aliens for the future episodes.
Picard/discovery were such trash, the writing was so bad for s3 for picard. discovery just aggressively kept pushing an all female crew by KURTZMAN, even managed to margianlized lgbqt+ to mere background characthers by s4, they had bigger roles in s1-2.
The use of nostalgia characters in Picard was as bad as the ending for enterprise(2001-2004), its a dumb cop out.
2:31 Railguns - 2:45 *shows a Phalanx-like Gatling gun turret*
I mean... sure... you could make a Gatling gun with railguns instead of simple barrels... but that's kind of dumb, since railguns can also fire multiple rounds on their own, and air-cooled guns, like Gatling guns are pointless in vacuum.
I guess in that alternate reality, they took the "spinning is much cooler than not spinning" approach to weapons design.
Even a railgun is a gaz-cooled weaponry, so, they could use a internal refreezing system or some kind.
@@niflheim6078 Yes, but Gatling guns are designed specifically to be cooled in atmosphere, by having a large internal surface area, while in space you'd want external surface area, to radiate all that heat away. Blowing cold gas on a railgun/gatling gun requires having a large amount of easy to deplete cooling fluid, not to mention in the vacuum of space you can get much higher accuracy than in atmosphere and a gas cooled system could affect that.
@@sargon6000 Don't worry mate, I know the space kinetic law, but a post-burst recooling supply with at least "operational" auto-targeting grid will be more accurate at this rate. Otherwise,one active mono-sentry Gatling gun at this will be uneffective, homing missiles are better against fighter craft.
Why are they still using railguns when they have an infinite power multiverse machine?
The capacitor slowly recharges.
In case the Asgard Lasers stop working, which seems to happen to them all the time.
@@russells.a.n. Or...to cover their bases; different ships may possess different vulnerabilities.
@@Ragitsu True.
Three shots can take out a Wraith, Ancient and Ori ship but only slightly damages that ship ???
for all we know it was a human ship firing on a replicator controlled atlantis, having asgard shields, or a vanir ship
Low power on the Daedalus' part plus a sufficiently advanced alien civilization and it's not unreasonable that that ship could survive.
The _Daedalus_ has a couple of shots left (pay attention to what Rodney said) and SG-A has to stop the unknown vessel from destroying Atlantis; crippling the ship's weapons (which tend to be more fragile than the hull itself) seems like the priority in this situation.
