    Earth

    Ok now that Todd is in control of our ship, isn't there any data on board about the location of earth, the Wraith jackpot?

    I think it is more dangerous that the Wraith got the Asgard beam technology!

      I assume there is, but unless wraith upgrade their hyperdrives, it's of no use anyway. even if todd takes information from the daedalus, I'm not sure if he'd use it or not.

        Can't Todd just use the Daedalus to go to Earth instead? Who needs upgraded Wraith Cruisers now?

          I don't think just one ship and crew of wraith would last long on earth...

            Beam more Wraith on-board from some where. Then orbit Earth, occasionally beaming up humans to feed upon. Or just roam the Milky Way, plenty of populous human planets to feed upon.

            Take a Wraith Queen too; breed more Wraith whilst they're there.

                  We've never seen a 304 go up against a 304; they might not be able to destroy eachother, even if there are two attacking. The Daedalus could always jump away and stage Hit & Run attacks against the other 304s/ Earth/ other Humanoid worlds.

                      Asgard Shields might be stronger than Asgard uberbeams. Preventing them from inflicting any damage on the opposing ships?

                        Doubt it. The beams took out Ori shields. Even if regular 304's shields are stronger then that(if they are it's plain ridiculous) they would still eventually come down. The only thing is Odyssey has a ZPM powering it's shields, which means it would last a lot longer then Apollo or Daedalus.

                          yea and also there is no way earth would know that the daedalus has been hijacked so it would give them the element of surprise

                            Even if you're going to argue that Asgard shields might be immune to Asgard beams, those shields aren't exactly the most powerful things in the world based on how quickly the Wraith drain them. With the Ancient Outpost, (which alone would take out the shields with ease) Earth ships, and possibly allied Jaffa/Tok'ra ships available to them, there's just no way the Daedalus will be able to survive trying to attack Earth. There's also an issue of if they know what rings are and how to protect them so someone can't ring aboard (persumably they'll be able to change the shield frequencies so Earth can't beam people aboard/pass through with 302s).

                            Plus, it really is pointless. So you can fit a hundred or so Wraith unboard...Are you really going to try to get a foothold in the Milky Way with so few Wraith? Even if they try to make several trips to carry over enough Wraith to man ships that they grow somewhere in the Milky Way, they can carry over too few at a time to be sucessful before Earth puts an end to it. It's much better to either try to reverse engineer some of the tech or, if they can't use those hyperdrives to upgrade their own, then they should use the navigational computer to get Atlantis' location and launch a fleet at it. They can figure out how to upgrade their hyperdrives if they're able to take the city for sure.

                            Depends if the crystal needed to dial galaxies was destroyed in the blast or not. If not, they can dial Earth once they get another gate and they can do that easily with the help of the Travelers.

                              Considering that (The Last Man spoilers)
                              Spoiler:
                              the Phoenix was critically damaged by 3 Hive ships fairly quickly
                              I doubt that the Daedalus could last long against two Earth ships. Not to mention Ori ships are destroyed in about 6 hits, which means that the similarly/less shielded Daedalus would only have to take 2 or 3 beams from each ship.
