In the prodigal, did anyone notice that out of 20 soldiers, shepard was the only one to chase michael to the top of the tower, everybody else stayed in the gateroom

Thats the only reason the prodigal wasn't my fav ep of stargate. Plus
Spoiler:
No one checked for michael body, for example if the army shot osama bin laden, they would not just leave his body to rot. They would first make sure he was dead, then bring his body in
Major Davis. THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!! please! you have posted many good things, and many bad. you are new to gate world, i am too. just sit and think before you post.
Yeah I'd have to say the biggest plot hole is the fact that a race of beings who can build city sized ships with impenetrable shields lost the war to a species who's ships are slower, less powerful, and don't have shields. With all their power, drones, automated satellites, and cloaking technology they couldn't figure out where the wraith cloning facilities were and destroy them? They also could have built a weapon just like the one on dakara and set it to destroy the wraith. Finally, why didn't they seek the help of the asgard, nox, or furlings? The 4 great races would have easily wiped out the wraith. The way our asgard beams work on the wraith ships so good means it should be a piece of cake for the 4 great races

from the height he fell from, theres no possible way he would have survived. he proboly reached terminal velocity before he was halfway down.
and they could have gotton the body but just didint show it in the episode. they just let the audience assume that over a thousand foot fall would be deadly.
Ok, I'm gonna have to be a little bit of an A-hole here to say want I need to truthfully.
1. Not a plot hole. Yes they could have done something better, but not a plot hole. 20 people not running to the top of a tower will not effect how the story plays out as long as the main characters do what they need to do.
2. Must they show us EVERYTHING? Come on, this is Micheal we're talking about. Of course they at least tried to check for a body. Though the people in Atlantis aren't stupid either, so they probably thought he'd become paste on impact--concrete or water, it doesn't matter.
Ok. My "mean speech" is turned off. I can see why you didn't like the episode and I sort of agree with you on some things, but you do have to know exactly what it is before you start talking about it. Here's your sign.
sigpic ____I reserve the right to be completely wrong about any topic I post on.
Until they show Michaels body on screen in a dramatic scene where his reign is finally over...i'm going to assume Michael is still alive. If he did die in the Prodigal I'm going to be very pissed off. I wanted his death to be in a movie where him and Sheppard duel and just as Michael is about to plunge a knife into Sheppard's chest, Ronon comes up from behind, rips him off of Sheppard and then Sheppard leaps up and impales him with a giant spear like thing. That'd be better.
Or maybe just have Michael standing there. "You will all bow before me." Sheppard sneaks up behind him and sticks him with C4. "Bow before..." BOOM!!!!! For a comedic ending.
There is nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself. You can't remake the past, so look ahead...or risk being left behind
Agreed though. Its not a plot hole. I think its easy to establish that then went and scraped him off the side of the city, and that it was only Shepherd and Teyla chasing him down was just dramatic licence. Not militarily correct, but climactic and cool.
: I would very much like to have a weapon such as this.
: Yeah, Get in line.
