O'Neill's surprised look - spoilers for rising part 1

[Qasim]

When Daniel mentions the ancients flying city O'Neill is surprised

Why is he surprised after all the Nox had a flying/floating city

[Kip_Cathey_Furlings_are_Cats]

I think he wasn't so much suprised as he was, um, confuzed. I think thats a good word for it.

Like he wasn't expecting that they would take the city with. I mean, wouldn't you think that a city is something that stay put? But this one left.

I don't think I made much sense, sorry. Hope it did help though.

I think he was shocked. Sure he’d seen the Nox city floating in the air, but a entire city traversing galaxies is bound to shock anyone.

I agree with Sarge. A floating city is one thing but flying a city from one galaxy to the next is a completely different thing!

[Qasim]

Can the nox city move about

[Wandering Tamer]

We don't know for sure. All we saw was it floating. But I agree with Sarge, it's one thing to build a floating city <which, I should point out, was seven years ago, so it was some time ago> and one that can fly between galaxies.

I wonder if that engine was similar to the one the Asgard use to go between galaxies in minutes.

Yea floating and galaxy jumping are 2 different things. Plus Jack knew hardly anything about the Nox's floating city.

[Qasim]

He knew it floated and was in the air and could go invisible and surely he would remember even if it was 7 years ago
