Stargate SG-1 - Season 9 - Ethon - Fire From The Gods - Part 1

The fate of The Prometheus.

[@mattbiggs1992]

The way it just cut through the shields was legit terrifying the first time I watched this episode. Up until now we'd seen Prometheus tanking hundreds of shots from Goa'uld vessels like an absolute champ and always come out on top. I'm sure it was a very humbling experience for the whole of the SGC.

[@imofage3947]

Well, yeah. That's how power creep works. The writers have to keep out-doing themselves and raising the stakes to maintain a sense of tension. At this point Goa'uld weapons are ineffective, even in large numbers. So the next bad guys have to be even more powerful to be a credible threat.

[@Ragitsu]

@@imofage3947 Dragon, dragon, rock the dragon. DRAGON BALL Z!

[@lamelama22]

Yea same.... on the first shot too and through the boosted front shields, so there was no "oh the shields got weakened" excuse. It never had the best weapons, but it had Asgard shields, and they held out against pretty much all threats up until this point. I hated how they nerfed the Asgard over time (just like the Goa'uld). The Asgard were originally supposed to be equals to the Ancients (& therefore Ori), with their level of tech from 10s of thousands of years ago. Modern Asgard tech should've been > than any Ancient tech, although the Ori & Ancients have the "ascended" excuse.

[@imofage3947]

@@lamelama22 If you watch the battle closely, all the Goa'uld ships are out right destroyed by a single beam. But the Asgard and Tau'ri ships actually manage to absorb the brunt of a single beam, so the Ori ships worked together to double-tap them. Actually, the Asgard were never outright stated to be equal to the Ancients, simply allies to them. I recall Thor mentioning that they had been studying the Ancient database for as long as he could remember but they had only barely scratched the surface. They had to use O'Neill's mind as a search engine to build the prototype anti-Replicator weapon. Besides, the Ori and the Ancients are not equals either. The Ori are taking full advantage of knowledge gained from ascension. The Ancient policy of strictly forbidding ascended beings from communicating such knowledge to lowers strongly suggests that their DB doesn't include such advanced knowledge.

[@wyvvernstone]

I can't remember the episode, but the Rebellious Jaffa were starting to be organized and we're lead by that traitor Jaffa. Anyway Jack said the staff weapon is a weapon of terror. Human weapons were weapons of war. Same mentality, just scale the tech up. Staff weapons were still deadly though, RIP Doctors Frasier. Better record than SW stormtroopers.

[@Psi105]

Definitely one of the biggest "oh shit, NOOO" moment. Poor Prometheus. You feel so happy earth finally has a real spaceship in the show, and then it gets cut to pieces and you're forced to watch. That being said, the daedalus class is a cooler looking ship.

They should have anticipated this. If it had shields they can’t penetrate, would be wise to assume it’s weapons are out of their level as well. Jump to hyperspace and try again later when the satellite is powered down. It’s after all an Ori technology from ascended beings.

[@lamelama22]

I love how the missiles are supposed to be naquadah-enhanced nuclear warheads >= 100 MT each. And yet you get a tiny little fireball like it was filled with gasoline or something. I also really hated how they nerf'd the Asgard (and Goa'uld for that matter) over time. The Asgard were originally supposed to be equals to the Ancients (& therefore Ori), with their level of tech from 10s of thousands of years ago. Modern Asgard tech should've been > than any Ancient tech, although the Ori & Ancients have the "ascended" excuse. This was quite a shock the first time watching this, since those shields held up against pretty much everything out there up until this point (granted they went down for plot a lot, but the shields themselves were shown to be super strong). Also shocking b/c it was built with something equivalent to like 1960s human tech, which I thought was cool... it's like, we could build this, if we just knew how. And it's stronger than the Asgard, lol. It's basically like an Apollo ship with a ray gun on it.

[@beberryberry5132]

The asgard keep progressin on their tech and besides they were busy with a war with the replicants. a technological race war at that, while the ori probably were not worried to progress their tech and just busy expaning without rivals, so no idea. Indeed, Asgards should have progressed more durin all that time.

[@kittensnark]

The fireball thing is actually pretty accurate, since in space there is no massive fireball or even an appreciable shockwave from a nuclear blast. Both the fireball and shockwave of a nuke, no matter how powerful, depend on an atmosphere to compress and/or ignite. It's basically just a really powerful radiation bomb up there.

[@dayanson6920]

naw those were not nukes. they were war head that were kinda like bunker busters. the nuke had a really large aoe when used so we only used them when we were really far away and they were needed. now after the first hit from the sat yea they should have used them but i think to many systems were down. note - each nuke had a radius of about 10 miles when used and i doubt that sat was 10+ miles long.

[@taytay8732]

The Asgard were allies with the ancients but their tech wasn't equal. Ancient technology was far superior. They even mentioned several times that they were unable to filter through the endless data from the ancient repository. Then add in changing home worlds, war with the replicators and deteriorating genetics...you have the end of a superior race. Too bad they didn't do anything with the Asgard from the pegasus galaxy

[@krashd]

Why would they fire nuclear missiles at a satellite? That's like killing a spider with a handgun...

[@krishanuphukan80]

Looks like it has a shield. Cap : Now what? Really bruh? you don't have more than 2 missiles on that bigass ship? FIRE EVERYTHING!!!

[@chillout1109]

The two missiles they fired didn't even make a dent. With the readings they were getting, they surmised that firing more missiles would not have guaranteed a different outcome anyway. At this point, they were just reeling from the surprise that such a primitive planet was in possession of such an advanced shield technology. They couldn't just keep firing and depleting their missiles, but were instead thinking of a different approach to the problem. It's unfortunate that they never got the chance to apply the different approach.

[@detsalb5789]

Idk they even jumped into the range of the satellite and not on the other side of the planet first to sortie their fighters and allow them to scout if the satellite was a danger

[@barbanousse]

I guess they were used to being superior at this point, kinda like the Goa'uld who often didn't have any security around their ships and outposts.

[@daemonbreath]

I never understand why they didn't just ram it out of orbit before it recharged, the F-302s could just gently connect with the shields and push it into atmosphere, after that it's history, shield or not.

[@RagicaltheUnhallowedKnight]

I've always wondered. Why not go to the other side of the planet and then threaten to blast their main capital/government if they don't comply. Surely that satellite can't follow them without "ship engines"

[@FormerBunsenBurner]

I'd imagine that the satellite is in an orbit over the capital, or at least near it, given how the world maps we see of this planet suggest the actual land area is pretty small. Even if it isn't, though, real-world satellites do have the ability to make slight orbital changes on their own, so the Ori weapon might've been capable of limited repositioning.

the deadalus class might be able to withstand it. But it might a little stronger than a single blast of a ori ship, since satellites can release greater energy.

[@TheValentineEnemy]

Is this what a Ha'tak goes through? Gets hit by an Ori beam weapon and the shields let it through before completely running out of power? Since Prometheus still had 40% shields and yet it did nothing. I guess Thor's original chariot would have been about as effective against it....think that one also used same type of shields, colours match for the most part....Daedalus had shields from O'Neill class ships.

[@jackzhang8677]

Yeah but the Biliskner class had ion cannons that were better at depleting shields, not to mention being made of far superior alloys and equipped with internal dampeners to reduce the threat of internal explosions. They were also far more maneuverable. The Prometheus got incapacitated because of the internal damage suffered from the beam weapon, dangerously reducing hull integrity.

[@VashtheStampede007]

Asgard shield maybe, but the power source is not. It is a naquda generator from a “less advanced than Goa’uld” alien planet human race. So basically you have a powerful Asgard shield but it is only powered to maybe 5~10% of its max potential if even that much. Later we saw how Asgard ship’s shield was holding under fire from multiple Ori ships, while 304s and Goa’uld motherships were blown into pieces.
