The Siege, Part 3 (201)

I found it pretty convincing, but then I'm no Wraith-rocket-scientist...

They know the Atlanteans have cloaking technology. It didn’t occur to anybody in the entire Wraith fleet that it might be a trick? Nobody bothered to verify that the city was actually gone? It wouldn’t have taken much effort. All they’d have to do is drop a lead ball and see if it makes it through to the water.

I don't picture the Wraith as a sea-worthy species...and maybe the shields they have are no good for pressure...there are a lot of outs here.

A species that technologically advanced can’t build a submarine? That sounds plausible to you?

A point blank detonation of that magnitude don't usually leave much in the way of non-fused/non-atomized stuff. Could be they're not fond of radiation as well...

Sure they could...give 'em a couple weeks...while undersea currents pull the mess that's left every which-a-way.
They might not be a patient people that way, y'know?

But it would have been sweet to at least see a dart or two sweep over the area just as a precaution..

[captv]

I think the whole thing is explained somewhat a little later in the season...

Spoiler:

I am referring, of course, to "The Hive," which clearly establishes once and for all that the Wraith really are gullible and stupid.

Somtimes you just got to go with the holes for a good story bud!

Agreed. I'll pick on holes when it overshadows the story, but in this case, I accepted it all.
SGA rocks.

i first saw this episode in a series of images i downloaded and put into a powerpoint, no sound but it was ok lol

[ktebid]

a great continuation of Season 1. I enjoyed the banter, I thought the acting was good. The Seige episodes are some of my favourite.

[mrscopterdoc]

Very good season opener. Poor Ford though.

[generaloneill]

Loved it... however I have a comment and a question.

Somebody needs to show Sheppard how to salute; and how is Ford able to fly the Jumper? Don't you need the Ancient gene?

I was wondering that myself i didn't think too much about it when this episode originally aired, it was only when i was watching the repeat about 10 minutes ago that it occurred to me that ford doesn't have the ancient gene unless there was a deleted scene in which beckett gave him the ancient gene injection.

Personally, I loved every second of it.

The Queen on that Cruiser survived for 10 thou years seemed to have taken it fairly well.
