This is why Earth can't have nice things!

[Esquin]

People keep blowing up all our new toys!

Are these really the best of the best? A pair of lazy guards and a couple of techs who barely know their pinky toe from a power conduit! And then to get midway blown up. It's just disappointing that Earth can't ever have nice things.

I sense an "Ann Robinson"-moment (Weakest Link) here...

"Who can't tell the difference between their pinky toe and a power conduit? Who needs to go back home and coward away from the Wraith? Vote off the weakest link!"

"Ann.. I'm voting Kavanagh cos he blew up our Midway station.."


- sorry, I'm bored, lol

lol, I would not like to be Kavanagh right now, he'll never get another job related to the Stargate programme

we keep our ships for the most part. only two have been destroyed so far.

[Esquin]

So we keep the things that make us the kings of the universe but when it comes to something that just cuts travel time, then it has to go.

Yeah that's logical

[reddevil18]

Yeah, 2 out of 5. Not that great a record, if you ask me.

[elbo]

I don't like Kavanough, but the destruction of Midway station is not entirely his foul. Actually i'm not sure if bypassing the critical systems and shooting the PG-gate was not necesarely in those circumstances. And it remains a mistery how Kavanough knew that code without being informed about all the stuff the code does.

Maby we should assign blame to the poor security and protocols on the station and how the scientists there cannot recognize Atlantis Gate signatures by other PG gates. Without the corect management Midway was a huge security risk and its destruction is even convenient.

But my big issue is how came a race of people (us) with the most performant ships in known universe is still in constant defensive and pasivity and the Wraith which are in a clear disadvantage inflict us so much damage. What the hack we are waiting for? For Michael or Todd to came with a briliant plan to wipe us out? Or maby we wait for all the PG humans to be feed off and the Wraith to came after us like a last resort. We have Daedalus class ships, maby a good ally in Travelers and a way to track the Wraith hives and stealth and beaming capabilities and there is no justification why we wait for the Wraith to find countermessures. From military perspective this is not acceptable.

[reddevil18]

earth still has the Asgard tech and our ships are still in one piece for now

the midway station was underused by the writers so it was time to blow it up

Well, thank God we had a fair amount of episodes in Atlantis itself this season, or else it might have been time to blow it up...

Now there is an idea

[GeneralLuckyAC]

Next time people!!, put a damn iris on it! on both gates so the ori dont come in and try to do another crusade there.

[Vala_M]

The weirdest thing is that there was originally an iris, at least on the Milky Way gate in "Adrift" but the writers seemingly went against that.

This one shows the dual-gate screen with the Pegasus gate visible and the Milky Way one to the far left
http://www.stargatecaps.com/sga/s4/4...ft%5F0222.html
The second picture shows an iris on the Milky Way gate.

So the whole premise for the episode is kind of wrong.

Vala,

[jefferyb]

I am usually not one to complain about the glory that is stargate But , come on that was the weakest excuse for a midway infiltration and distructions ever.

[Major_Griff]

I'm like 99% sure that when McKay says no need for an iris or shield in the previously segment, that it was added in.

Nah, you've gotta keep him around till the final round. If you want to keep your win, you want to going up against him. He's stupid... doesn't even know the Princess Rosyline's surname. Tactical voting, Jack. Tactical voting.

[GeneralLuckyAC]

yeah i remember that episode and he never said "no need for a iris"
