proof of daedalus landing in water

[apollo22]

to figure this out i took a picture of the daedalus above the water in the landing sequence of "the seige part 3," which is the first pic. i drew a line on the bow where the hull slopes back. in the second pic, i took the final pic in the screen caps of th Daedalus in the water.i then drew the same line on the bow. the second one is shorter. now i now people have said that they land on the peir and that there is water on the pier that sprays up. if you look at the first pic. i outlined in blue the edge of the pier which is in front of the Daedalus. you can also see the lamp posts which i circled in green. these lamps are on the edge of the pier. Another thing. while the ship is landing. do you ever see any landing gear lower. we have seen the landing gear on the prommy a couple of times and there is nothing protruding form the bottom of the Daedalus at any time during the landing sequence that shows landing gear is down. and if you don't believe my pictures and reasoning, go back and watch the landing sequence frame by frame and pay attention to the bow, it sinks into the water and there would never be that much water on top of the pier. and last here are the measurements of the lines, the first pic is length 50- angle 30 and the second pic is length 47- angle 30. so you see it is at least 3 pixels shorter. it can't sink that much on a pier

That and they always say its landing at the south pier.

Its a shame would be awesome if it did land on water

I remember hearing a couple times in the show that, "the daedalus is requesting permission to land alongside the east pier."

Well, I always thought Daedalus "landed" above the water, staying few metres above the surface. It's really quite clearly seen that it doesn't land on the pier.

But maybe I was wrong, and it really lands in the water.....

No, the othet guy's right; canonically speaking, it lands on the pier, as confirmed by JM. Never go just by what CGI shows you... never haha.

[tombombadil]

i always wondered if it landed on the water, and i'm still not sure.

[jenks]

Personally I couldn't care less either way, but I'd base the stuff I know on what I see on the screen rather than what JM confirms, as some of that stuff gets changed anyway...

Yeah, such things change, I can well imagine MG telling something right now, and (other producers) something else next year.

Buddy. The CGI on Stargate is horrible. Only trust the lines, and the lines put it on the pier.

[kymeric]

I didnt realize it was that important? Or an issue really.

It lands on water.... yea?

From the Gateworld transcript for 201 - The Seige pt 3

TECHNICIAN (over comms): Doctor Weir -- the Daedalus is requesting permission to land on the east pier.

Also verified by checking the video itself BUT I believe that I have heard the "along side the east pier" line in another episode. Based on the CG, I would say that the ship definitely DOES land in the water. It's not that it's any big deal either way but it is kinda different and cool that it could land in the water.

maybe there is water on the pier, so it looks like its on water, it is after all a city in the middle of an OCEAN

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

Just rechecked. Your wrong; it doesn't sink! It turns slightly, which throws off your measurements! The 'splash' is from the thrusters, not water. (any water would be vaporized and have become a gas, not a splash, in any event)
