Why were the mother ships in the pilot so different? I don't mind them being different, they looked super cool, but I believe it should have been explained. I also think they should have explained why the Hammond could not take out at least one of the Hat'aks.

Hammond i think isnt finished yet.sigpic -
Well, there's now several Ori motherships roaming the galaxy without a cause. Maybe the Lucian Laiiance (if that's who it was that attacked) got their hands on one and incorporated some of its tech into Ha'taks.
Besides that, I imagine it has something to do with Continuum. For that they had the budget to pay Rainmaker to really jazz up the special effects, and now that Rainmaker has those 3d models and effects just saved on file.... Well, that means bigger effects for less money."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After LifeComment

Heres the thing, I can understand if like Sam said that they started firing right out of hyperspace and caught them off guard and they asguard weapons were down but I just don't believe that they would be escorting a United States Senator( who is funding the base) and more civilians on a ship that isn't finished. Especially when that means they the ship did not have its main weapons. It was kind of insulting to me being a HARD core SG1 and Atlantis fan for them not to do a better job and the writing and explaining.Originally posted by Duneknight View PostComment

so why didnt SGC take those Ori motherships?sigpicComment

I doubt that they lucian allaince could have gotten their hands on an ori mother ship but if they did it needed to be said. Or It would have been awsome if Sam had said that since they took us off guard they knocked out our beam weapons or they they Lucian alliance has been building more advanced mother ships. It seems to reason that the Lucian Alliance would want to build more ships and they would most likely copy the guald mother ships.Originally posted by DigiFluid View PostComment

I think that he is talking about the ori mother ships at the end of ark of truth. The ori were dead and the priors were now convinced the ori were dead so there was no immediate threat or reason to destroy them. They do need to incorporate what happend to those ships and the priors and the ori follows since Ark of Truth.Originally posted by Duneknight View PostComment

but why did they attack icarus and not earth? why would they care about the ninth chevron? they arent like the geniisigpicComment

I think the most obvious answer is that with the increased budget, they had the animators up the level of details on the Hataks.
These are the wrong people... in the wrong place.Comment

Which is a good thing but it needs to be said it the show with an explanation like that the Lucian Alliance has been building better ships. Fans like explanation and feel cheated win the writers over look or are just too lazy to write it in to the show.Originally posted by Detox View PostComment

Cut scene:

Ronald Greer is also a medic. Your argument is invalid.

Yeah, with the limited amount of time spent on the Hammond I guess the status report of "Asgard weapons are offline" never made it to us.Originally posted by BIG_GATE_HEAD View Post
Being one of the newer F304's Hammond most certainly would have had them installed.
The only real reason for not using them is battle damage!

Probably haven't developed a control interface into the ships as yet.Originally posted by Duneknight View Post
Also, knowing what Apophis did to his Death Gliders S04E12, you might expect that the Ori ships may have a return home protocol as well?!

Carter says that there are fighters and escorts planet bound and that they have shot down a whole bunch but not enough. as there are only 2 beam weapons on the 304 (look at any battle where there used, theres one on each side) then they cant target a ton of ighters and the hatacks at the same time, the hatacks were not inflictig damage to the hammond, carter is told there shields are holding and that was while getting a pounding from atleast 3 ships so y bother to fire on a non threat, they are military so they fire on the big threat first, ie the planet bound shipsOriginally posted by BIG_GATE_HEAD View Post

earth is to well defended, if atlantis is still there then earth is safe, nothing in the milkey way can match atlantis for shields or firepower and as a single drone weapon can destroy a mother ship even a puddle jumper wave from atlantis could destroy the ships in a matter of minsOriginally posted by Duneknight View Post
AND, if the atlantis drone chair can controle more than one weapons platform at the same time (if they moved the chair from antartica did they move the drone launcher aswell, it was an outpost so the drone chamber would be vast in size like the drone room we saw in The Tower then it would be impractical to move, so dus the chair haft to be hardwired to the outpost or is it a remote thing. if it is remote the atlantis chair could very well activate both drone platforms, and one platform can take out an armarda of goauld ships so 2 chairs and a fleet of jumpers would mince a couple of hataks
we may be able to speculate that we also have asguard beam weapon satalites and shield generators in orbit, we have the tech and are bound to use it to defend ourselves, that would be an obvious move to doComment
