Is anyone else a little disturbed by the secondary Atlantis in "The Tower"? I felt it rather cheapened exactly what Atlantis was that there was a second IDENTICAL city out there that could ALSO fly. How many of the damn things are there? It really makes Atlantis feel less unique in my opinion.

I agree. It makes Atlantis less important. Instead of it being "the Lost City", it becomes "one of the Lost Cities"

How many aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class does the US Navy have? It sure makes the CVN-68 – USS Nimitz far less important, despite it being the first of its class. How many Aurora class warships did the Ancients construct? The identical Orion makes the Aurora far less important. etc..
It's basic logic to assume the Ancient built more of their Atlantis class ships, and why wouldn't they? It doesn't make Atlantis less important, especially since Atlantis was their capitol, and besides in season 7 (Lost City) we already got proof the Ancients built far more of these Cities.Signed,

I dont see the connection between the S7 finale and your "proof".
But that's beside the point. I basically stand by Cameron's point that it defeats the object of it being their greatest city, their last defence and so on so forth.

Nope - doesnt bother me. What I find amusing is that when Atlantis first started, people wondered, and hoped we'd find more Cityships...now we do and people moan..its funny.
ANYWAY - nope, doesnt bother me - when you build something great that works you build more and more....logical.
Atlantis was the last city to stand against the Wraith as far as we know, it was the last place you could dial Earth from, it was the councils City, it was the first.Blitz

I'm sure he did. My point was (I'm sure you gathered) that outposts are not indicative of Atlantis-class cities."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

didnt these new repicators build their citys to copie atlantis? also the ancients prob had planets ful of these citys they wud have used them wen they moved on to pegasus.
i want them to steal an atlantis type city ship and take to too earth. if the stargate is disclosed ow even if it isnt with a cloak the ship could be an new sgc sumwhere nutral on earth and staff from many millitarys and countries

It is strange but its just like a class of ship. For instance all BC 304's are the same so why not an ancient city ship. Atlantis is only special because it is the the only gate in pegasus that can dial earth (because of that extra control crystal they use in 'Home'.Comment

Well of course there's a lot more than ONE city ship....i don't think the whole Alteran race could fit into one city ship, besides Atlantis is called "THE lost city" because the Ancients didn't talk about any other city ships, not because there weren't any more city ships.Elizabeth Weir, Ph.

atlantis is "special" (for want of a better word) because it can gate to earth whereas the other city-ships can'tOriginally posted by DeathDealer19 View PostSG-1 members
