Stargate Atlantis - Dialing Atlantis

The original Stargate Atlantis scene when Dr.Weir stands out and gives a motivational speech. The speech is so well-designed, structured and theatrical that no wonder the expedition team - and we all have goosebumps and the striving initiatives to explore a new world! Stargate Atlantis: The Rising, season 1 episode 1. E01S01

Intimidating to have the T-1000 as a commanding officer.

Perhaps one of my favourite mometa of this entire sequence is sadly not in here. As the Atlantis team are stepping through one by one, a conversation ensues between Jack and Daniel. Daniel (excited/pleadingly): Jack there's still time for me to- Jack (casually): no. *Brief pause* Daniel (desperate): I mean it would just take me a few minutes to get my- Jack (still causally): no.

I don't know the status of the novels in the official canon, but I still highly recommend reading the SGA-Legacy novels. For me personally, they do a fantastic job of finishing SGA properly. I wish the same authors would do the same for SGU.

[@WackoMcGoose]

I like the complete change in tone between this and the first time an eight-chevron address was dialed (the incident with the Ancient Database). Not expecting it: "Chevron Seven... is encoded...?" 🤔 "Chevron EIGHT is locked." Expecting it and hoping it to work: "...Chevron Eight is locked!"

[@harvestercommander3250]

Omg that effect on the event horizon is so awesome

[@russell5078084]

It seems to me that they should have tried to hold the gate open longer to send as many supplies through as possible. Because it really didn't look like they brought enough. Including needing to bring a few nukes. Especially if they didn't know if they could ever get back.

[@Mxyzptlksac]

Exactly I’d keep pushing supplies through until it closed or until they were told to stop

[@CoolsBreeze]

I always thought that the amount of stuff they brought was so little and there was no way they could've survived a year with just the few equipment they brought over.

[@jonathanc5625]

On many missions they have to search planets with people who want to trade or sell food, that’s the reason they could survive one year. The supplies they brought were limited

[@blacklocke5171]

in fact... I wonder about the total expedition... how many are there? how many people including scientists and soldiers? 50/60 people?

[@CoolsBreeze]

@@jonathanc5625I get that. But there's no way you don't bring months of rations to help the ppl settle in there first. You can't go to another galaxy and expect bounties and people to trade with. There was an expedition of like 60 ppl and they brought only like a few items with them. Which was evident in that gate room.

[@johnscully1924]

yes, it would make a lot of sense to have and electric buggy/tractor pulling a train of cargo buggies, sized to just fit through the gate. You could have one person driving that train of maybe ten cars pull maybe 50,000 pounds of gear through in under a minute, then all the people head through.

[@kevinritter6448]

​@johnscully1924 seriously! I've always thought it was nonsense they didn't take pallet jacks fully loaded at the minimum. They could have had a raised roller track sending hundreds of cargo boxes though along with emergency supplies like inflatable boats, bicicles, drones. So much more than what you can carry.

Considering that Sheppard was all for throwing the Geneva Convention out the window as soon as it became inconvenient... I gotta say that his CO was right about him; he should not have been on the Atlantis Expedition. Then again, Weir went along with it so she probably shouldn't have been leading the expedition either... If they ever get around to making a new Stargate series I hope that they don't keep trying to make it 'grittier'. The original series was all about stopping tyrannical false gods, ending slavery and putting a stop to the wholesale slaughter of innocents. You don't need to make that 'gritty' unless you're trying to hammer home the horror of it! And if you need that to be made clear then you probably should have a close look at and overhaul of your educational system. Then there's Atlantis' predator and prey dynamic. They should have studied ACTUAL predator-prey dynamics in nature before tackling the sentient version of that. Honestly... The protagonists acted more like bad guys, then the good guys.
