I LOVE this program

Hope I didn't drain all the bandwidth or anything though by hitting the site all at once...

I am honestly surprised it took this long.

Actually if you go back down this thread, I actually explicitly stated the reasons why said nukes probably didn't detonate, most likely because they were keyed to a detonation system fused to distance to the ships hull. And when they hit the shields, they just crumpled. And also yes, the lack of fra...

What got me annoyed in that AOT trilogy is how fast the USSR advanced, with nothing but a single ship stuck in the middle of Siberia (and a highly uncooperative crew). Hell, there is no way in hell they could have even learned to use the computers on the thing, let alone cracked any security measure...

I think its only fair, given that this thread refused to die and kept going, that I can reply to Brians last post. It will however be my last post as well. Chris, The Replicators then after pouring this power into the LOCAL STARGATE which USED IT TO GENERATE THE WORMHOLE, then fired a second beam th...

Yup.

They'll sit there, grumble quietly so they don't look TOO quiet, but otherwise wait for the legislation to be passed, and THEN they'll happily exploit the couple of loopholes they saw in it while it was being written, but kept their mouths shut about in unabashed glee.

Well suffice to say, I still flat out disagree with you on a great many things above and we could probably drag this out for a long time, but this thread has indeed become somewhat unweildly, and I can undertand that its probably time to move on. What I'm probably going to do and have toyed with doi...

Just FYI, I haven't forgotten about this, I do intend to make a full reply this weekend, just a little busy right now.

I would say that a Politicans job is to KEEP their job, to do things that show that they are 'teh awesome' and worth supporting over the other guys. In the current US political and economic situation, you simply can't afford to sit back and move some markers around to make it look like you're doing ...

Okay, then here is a new question. How the hell did Obama fool all of us like this? I mean none of us are perfect, but we all took Obama rather clearly for someone he clearly isn't. He ran a campaign that was built entirely on the idea of bringing in change, on taking on special interests and entren...

Could work. Especially if the US sub fleet moves into position in time; the B-29's essentially pound the tail of the Draka force, kill big concentrations too deep in Europe to move south and evacuate by utterly screw with the railways and roads, when they are not bombing concentrations directly of c...

Apparently Israel has only a limited number of fire fighters, or perhaps forest fire fighters, they are all committed at this point in time, there are literally no more resources to throw at the problem, so I hear.

Just before I'm off to my business trip, I'll throw this in: There's precedent for weapons in the SG universe that serve only really specific purposes. I think of the life-force destroying gun attachment that one-shots Kull warriors, while their defense system otherwise absorbs bullets, energy bolt...

And finally, putting all that aside just for one second. Let me put this to you Brian. You freely admit that Earth has Gigaton level nuclear weapons. And we have the Stargate explosion in roughly the same range of yield, either of which will deliver a total energy level far higher then your Replicat...

No, I didn't. The Mark IX is a Naquadriah enhanced nuclear weapon Already noted and conceded. Sorry, didn't see that. And Sam indeed said 'Multi-Gigaton', but as I said, if you examine the episode you can crunch numbers based on the detonation and fireball size, scaled, which put it easily into the...

Chris, No my contention is that, as stated in the episode, the energy is going into the generation of the wormhole as maintaining a constant wormhole post 38 minute mark is explicitly said to require an enormous amount of energy. But this is disproven in Redemption, where the power level was so low...

And I hate to sound like a broken record, but there is still not the slightest evidence that the Goa'uld have nuclear warheads or use nuclear technology, that their ships mount any kind of missile launchers or projectile launchers / bombardment cannons or anything to back up this claim... Well, the...

And after I said all that stuff about you being good... *raises eyebrow* You yourself have said, in this thread, that the missiles are the same naquadah-enhanced whatever. And Sam said "that was a multi-gigaton explosion." Nothing anywhere about teratons. No, I didn't. The Mark IX is a Na...

Chris, One more reply, then I've got to go Christmas shopping. So, your contention is that the stargate itself is absorbing all that energy, rather than being transmitted through the beam? No my contention is that, as stated in the episode, the energy is going into the generation of the wormhole as...

And as for the date, it wasn't actually a date, I was just going to a thing where she would be a round (she is a friend of my sister). The GOOD news is that IMHO she was actually hotter then Jessica Alba. She was also incredibly smart, she had just finished a PHD in frigen pure mathematical theories...

Yeah, thats why you should never do maths when you're almost asleep, I forgot that there are these things called 'minutes' in between seconds and hours...I thought for a min I had pasted my online account number into wincalc until I had a good look and hit myself... So lets try that again; Beam is d...

Chris, All your examples actually happened. Good job. You see, I'm a bit jaded from 15 years of chasing examples that never happened. Like The Black Star surviving an explosion. These all happened. I'm impressed. But they all have caveats. *blinks* Someone claimed the Blackstar survived? Uh... So, ...

So many responses, uch!
Well I brought it on myself

I'll try to get through it all this evening, I have plans for today I'm sorry to say, most of which center around a girl who could quite literally be Jessica Albas twin sister...

Priorities and all that

Chris, Dang, this is going to take a long time. Let's get off the whole water penetration thing. It isn't relevant. McKay said this beam carried the power of "a black hole, or an unlimited number of ZPMs." That energy has to go somewhere. Yessss, its going into the Stargate wormhole and k...

I'm not really certain where commentary actually fits into the canon scale... But I was never under any real doubt that they wanted to destroy Atlantis, and this beam was doing a bang up job at that. But as has been said, if they WANTED to eliminate the Atlantis guys rapidly, they could have just ea...
