How long does it take to explore Atlantis??

[xtremixt]

Apparently they are still finding stuff in Atlantis. I mean, that place doesnt look THAT big. The soldiers wouldve explored it much faster than the show lets on. The place isnt the size of new york for gods sake.

[newtrekker]

It is the size of a large city, of course it would take a while to explore it. Because they have to search every room.

[xtremixt]

Yes, but it wouldnt take two-three seasons.

[newtrekker]

They also have limited personnel and supplies.

[hydr0san]

plus certain sections might be offlimits because of "the storm"

[Callista]

But they don't have anyplace to go on vacation....might as well explore a little on your time off

[PG15]

Oh, and then there are the Wraith.

And offworld missions.

Umm did the mccay guy say it would be like checking every room in manhattan? It doesn't look big because there's no way to judge size when it's in an ocean and there's no other reference.

In a recent episode they gave you an opportunity to gauge how big it really is.

[xtremixt]

Hehe, i didnt say that shepherd would have to do exploring. It's just that i think that the special effects guys are really confused about the scale sometimes. Atlatis needs to be bigger. I remember in SG1 episodes on Vorash when Zapacnas forces were landing and Oneill goes "I see their ammasing a few troops" the landed Deathgliders looked like you could fit 30 guys in there compared to the Jaffa Ranks. While whenever we see a deathglider upclose is evidently a 2 seater and very small and versitille.

And Atlantis is huge. Look a how many spires the city has too.

[Abydos1]

There may be levels of Atlantis that are below sea level too.

[xtremixt]

BUt we are yet to see any windows showing us that!

[newtrekker]

Just you wait and see, we might be able to see it.

[Maltrancko]

emergency bunker? emergency drones?

EMERGENCY ZPM supply?

who knows?

[xtremixt]

Hahaha that would be classic, we had 200 emergy ZPM in the storage room but didnt know we did.
