Stargate Atlantis - Midway (S04E17)

[@deondewit3175]

Ronon's smile as he's messing with sleeping John absolutely priceless.

[@TranceMountainbiker]

they are locked in the puddle jumper for days or longer. Where the hell did they go to toilet

[@animemanXLK]

I love how Ronan and John are basically like brothers by this point.

[@beckygraham7824]

I am glad that I am not the only one who thought that.

All good relationships start with a good kidnapping.

Ronan shoving Kavanagh is classic! Love the Ronan/Sheppard dynamic

[@Jusdewyou]

Loved that. Dude was annoying.

[@TheStarTrekApologist]

Well he did save the life of Sheppards team except Ronan

[@AdeptKing]

I did find that funny too since he wasn't even being antagonistic that time and Ronan's first reaction was to attack him.

The Midway Station was one of the coolest ideas. Insane they took all those Stargates from somewhere to use.

[@jonathanc5625]

Yeah but wtf they didn’t put an iris😂

[@d.s.151]

​@@jonathanc5625They saw no need for an iris because you needed a code to dial into the network. Arrogance really, the cost of putting in irises for the two midway gates would have been insignificant compared to the cost of the entire project.

"Teal'c and I took care of the Wraith". Those poor Wraith.

To be honest, Teal'C enjoyed it. Since the Ori were defeated he hasn't been able to kick any ass.

Shortest invasion ever... they never had any chance.

But Teal'c nearly got fed on by a wraith saved at the last moment by Ronon. Teal'c: "Good timing" Ronon "Indeed" Loved the Teal'c /Ronon dynamic.

[@skyserf]

0:53 Ronan : Where’s Sheppard? McKay : Lasted about a day, *sealed* himself in pushes button outside flightdeck and unseals it 🤔

[@shadowphoenix1696]

Let's be honest, the whole episode was pretty ridiculous, it was just there as fan service. And love that we got it, it was so much fun but it's definitely not one that you want to think to hard about.

[@skyserf]

@@shadowphoenix1696 That segment didn’t require intense though to realize it was poorly written.

[@shadowphoenix1696]

@@skyserf that was probably just a time constraints issue or they just wanted to have joke with Ronin waking Sheppard up, but yeah the easy work around would be have Ronin bang on the door and Sheppard opens it. Like I said the plot and plot points in this episode don't hold up, it's just there for fun.

[@skyserf]

@@shadowphoenix1696 Ronan banging on the door and Sheppard opening it would have made more sense but then they wouldn’t have the bit with Ronan messing with Sheppard to wake him up.

[@shadowphoenix1696]

@@skyserf I know..... Hmmm McKay: He lasted about two days and then sealed himself off and said if I open the door he keep us permanently stunned until helped arrived. Ronin: Makes sense Ronin: no wonder he didn't hear the radio "walks up to Sheppard and proceeds to mess with him to wake him up" There I think that works but something else in the episode would need to be 2 second shorter. That shouldn't be to hard they have plenty of llingering shots to choose from.

[@marduke45]

a friend shakes your shoulder to wake you up. a best friend messes with you.

[@AdeptKing]

Got to love how Kavanagh was just trying to genuinely thank Ronan and he still shoved him away.

[@tmofee]

Look at the soldier at the top right. You can tell he’s laughing before the camera focuses on him

[@metalzonemt-2]

Sheppard: Thank GGGOOOD....I almost shot myself witht the stunner.

[@jonroux9291]

How often do you see Ronan with a big ass grin? 😁

[@kirishima638]

God I love Dr Lee

[@wolfpreist]

They should have salvaged the Tria, bought it back and to midway and used it as a control point for midway. If the Wraith tried it again, they could vent the gate room from well beyond any range of the Wraith's stunner grenade things.

[@jonathanc5625]

It would be funny if dr Lee and Dr Kavanagh would be talking about Wormhole Extreme and it’s spin-off maybe something like Wormhole Andromeda (Atlantis parody) 😂

[@Captain_p0wer]

I distinctly remember teyla going to earth in one episode with shepherd and they hit up a McDonald's I think?

[@cancelanime1507]

Lol

[@DayneTreader]

That was the one where the Atlantis Expedition found a planet with enough atmospheric energy to dial Earth. The atmosphere was actually a bunch of energy-based life forms that game the Expedition the illusion of making it back.

[@evanboll4651]

I think that was the S1 episode where a bunch of energy creatures messed with their heads with a bunch of illusions and Sheppard realized they were fake when a couple guys he saw die years before or something walked up to him.

[@carolderuelle5568]

Love it. Thx

[@miketobin2324]

A million thumbs up!

[@TwilightMysts]

The solution to the fiasco of Midway is simple, though not cheap. Swap the two chains of gates, keep a small station in the middle, and build a somewhat larger station on each end. you go from Atlantis to a station, transition to a series of milkyway gates to another station, switch to pegasus gates to a third station, and then jump to Earth. Or even simpler, you just add enough gates so that you go from Atlantis directly into the chain. From what I remember, they go from Atlantis through a couple of planets, THEN to the Pegasus chain. The Wraith figured out what was going on and got the necessary code from one of the planetary relay gates, which let them into the system. Replace the planetary relay gates with gates out in deep space that the Wraith can't find to hack and you have a secure network again.

[@danielk5780]

They don't need another Midway. Midway was planned at the beginning of Season 3 - they only had a ZPM at Atlantis and, due to unforseeable circumstances, depleted that one - with no other sources for new ZPM's in sight, they had to think of a different long-term solution. At the end of the show, they got ZPM's on both ends and can dial between Atlantis and Earth directly.

[@Nichodo]

@@danielk5780 at the end of the show Atlantis is On Earth.

[@reaperbot5226]

side note now the SGC has wraith bodies to research

[@emperorpicard6474]

I never understood what the wraiths plan was. Get out of the SGC and then what? take over the world with a few dozen wraith?

[@D.M.S.]

Send a signal and show the Wraith the location of Earth.

[@emperorpicard6474]

How? pegasus is out of range via subspace signal? And even if they could, how would they reach earth with their slow hyperdrives?

[@randomrazr]

plotdrives u mean

[@Vasun05]

Take control of SGC and Midway then signal signal from Midway to the other Wraith start shipping through everything they need including the ability to produce Hive Ships and the like probably

[@insertcognomen]

better plan...fake a signal and give away the ori galaxy. let the wrait and ori fight each other

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

Good episode

[@DayneTreader]

I don't remember if they built another Midway. If they did, all they would have to do to prevent that again is require GDOs.

[@Privatepain1234]

cant, the way this system worked was you went from say Atlantis to a gate at the farthest edge of pegasus which then was tweaked to automatically forward you onto midway whereupon your checked out/quarantined before being sent to sgc via another gate in the milky way programmed to auto forward you to sgc. the wraith found the last gate and slipped into the system to not need the forwarding system to get to midway then just went on to earth.

[@Elydir]

While it's never said, I feel like it would be dumb not to build another one. Remember it's not just the Midway, there's two whole chains of gates they had to collect and deposit in between the galaxies, and that's still there. Would feel like a waste to just abandon the project.

[@xXShadDragXx]

I always assumed the project was probably put on hold until the wraith problem was more under control. Sure you can better secure Midway itself, but stopping the wraith from constantly messing with the Pegasus side gates 24/7 would just be a waste of resources until a permanent solution is found.

[@Gpz0]

They made a point of that flaw in the introduction for this episode by editing a recap of McKay explaining the intergalactic bridge works and added that there is "no need for a shield or an iris". However with Atlantis on Earth, I doubt a 2nd Midway would be built, even if construction was started.

where did they go to the bathroom? lol

Crap into the rear compartment, get to the front, seal the cockpit and then open the aft hatch into space. And hope the next Ancient warship speeding through the void between galaxies has working windscreen wipers.
