Letters From Pegasus (117)

[smushybird]

Leadership. Is he not magnificent?
This was an exciting, interesting episode. Is there ever a post-episode chat anywhere online?
I want to know more about McKay, Sheppard, Beckett, Zelenka, and Ford.
I hope the addition of all these new characters in Season 2 will not prevent the writers from continuing to flesh out our heroes. It definitely ain't broke, so please don't try to fix it by dumping a lot of new characters on us while we're busy falling hopelessly in love with the ones we've already got.
Poor John Sheppard. He really needed a hug and a comforting pat on the back by the time LfP was over. Not even Liz seemed all that concerned that he had no one to send a letter home to. Sadness.
The writers do such a superb job of creating complex characters (and the actors are brilliant in bringing them to life). I'm impressed as hell.

Question when the ships came out of hyper space wasn't there more then 3 hive ships? I thought i counted 6. Or is there a ship a size between a dart and hive ship?

John described them as aircraft carrier groups, with cruisers escorting the hive ships and darts.

[Hatcheter]

It could be a sort of transporter uplink. The darts gather humans up, then fly over to the beam and "forward" them up to the hive ship. That would let the darts keep working without returning to orbit to unload their cargo.

granted I know when we get the zpm we will be able to keep them out of atlantis. but how in the hell are we going to destroy that wraith armada sheppard saw. diid not know the wraith had that kind of fleet. anyone who has seen the siege please drop a hint dying to know would be greatly appreciated

[MarshAngel]

Well, when they hibernate for years their Hive ships do become in a sense a city, kind of like Atlantis really. I like the idea about them extracting resources and minerals, it does make sense if their ships are part organic. Maybe the ships suck minerals and resources out of planets like their inhabitants do out of humans.

I will buy that they have lived on their ships for thousands of years. But what I really meant was that it's not like they just rose up from day one and moved into space. They must have had a civilization of some kind on the planet they evolved on before they built their ships. I'd like to see evidence of that. It would clear up some of the mysteries of their existence.

The season finale is a cliffhanger, no one can answer your question.

[alz0rz]

Yeah, I thought that once the darts are full they fly through the beam and the humans are sent up for safekeeping

[defina91rvc]

very good episode with some hilarious moments. beckett talking about fungus, and mckay talking about leadership. also, very funny how he mentioned sam and was so melodromatic. what was that blue beam from the wraith ship??

[greytop]

John described them as aircraft carrier groups, with cruisers escorting the hive ships and darts.

Could the cruisers the John was describe be similiar to the one in The Defiant One?

[greytop]

Good ep and i really want to see how SGC reacts to the news but i guess i wont see that for awhile. We get to see alot of charchterzation and emotion from some charchters that we never get to. Both Teyla and Ford had more then 2 lines and you could actually know how they were feeling and connect with them.

That one scientist guy is starting to piss me off. Trying to report on Weir.

I believe that we will see that in Mobeus.

Kavanagh reminds me a lot like Kinsey or an operative of the NID. He didn't agree with Wier, in her desision, in 38 Minutes and this was a way to get back at her for putting him in his place, I thought.

[MrBojangles]

Was that

Spoiler:

beam that emerged from the village

ever explained? If so, please tell me in Spoiler tags.

I think we're talking different classes. My guess is really that the mention of smaller ships was a set up so that they don't have to weight till fifth season to find middle sized ships like they did in SG1.

[macktheknife]

Kavanagh is a bit of a ******, but as long as he is'nt sabotaging the mission or not doing his work, i would'nt care. He got busted harshly though, and really resented havnig it in front of his team.

[ShadowMaat]

The fact that people hate Kavanagh so much only proves how effective the character is. Not everyone on Atlantis can be cute and cuddly. You need pragmatic characters and jackholes to balance things out. Kavanagh does a great job of that and as much as I think he's a miserable SOB, I want him to stick around. Although I wouldn't object to more humiliation.

[American3.141592654]

Well, I took solace in the knowlege that by the time he gets to his spiel about the serious misjudgements of Dr. Weir, Jack would have turned off the video.

Kavanagh (on recording): "I feel it is my duty to inform you of what I consider to be serious errors in judgement among the leaders of this expidition..."
CLICK.
Jack: "I think I've seen enough of that. Nice of him to write, though."

-IMF

Yeah, Oneill wouldn't pay any attention to him but Ford still should have told him, "You're alive because of her, so shove it!" hehe... Thing is all his little story does is prove that some people you just can't reach...
