The "Spoils of War" Pre Airing Discussion/speculation Thread (Spoilers)

I believe TH said she would appear in 4 episodes of season 4, technically 2 but really 4 she said. Which probably means 2 as humand and 2 as replicator.

Either way you look at it, we've had all four, Adrift & Lifeline (Humanish), TMC and BAMSR (Repli-human).

After watching one of the those Q&A videos I get the feeling Ronon screws up in this episode and it causes the death of a load of people. It was a clip from Midway, and Teal'c was asking if it was true that Ronon's negligence lead to the death of thousands of people, and as far as I can tell, Spoils OF War is the only episode with the Wraith in from not until Midway...

My understanding of it was Ronon's big mistake was discussed in Reunion, something about letting the Wraith through to Sateda. I may be very wrong, but I think it's regarding Sateda, rather than another world.

So my thought is that he wanted to have some new hyperdrive technology, new shield or just their first shield technology ! in other words, they would have what they wanted in "Aurora"! And maybe for season five a new class of ship, smaller than a hive with

shields

that would match Daedalus' or Apollo's ones !!

There is a part of me that thinks they at least got hyperdrive technology because that is the only way that I can think of that the Wraith

I noticed Lorne is in the ep, and then I noticed this ep production photo from JM's blog http://bp1.blogger.com/_bu0vVgPPyEs/...h/DSC05040.JPG

And then I began to wonder...

That doesnt look like Lorne and that area looks like the SGC and as far as I know we don't go to Earth in Spoils of War.

[Mitchell82]

I'm still not convinced he is safe. Being in the episode following the death is not uncommon in many shows. His crediting could be a for a flashback, a funeral... in the end it may not be true, but I believe there is a very good chance he could fall.

I am pretty sure Lorne is not killed because he has an ative role in Quarantine.

Lorne KIA/Dead is news to me...
If he has a role in 'Quarantine' then he cannot be dead...

Same here. I think the poster of that rumor has it in for him.

Well i'm no big fan of Lorne but rumors like that are just stupid IMO if they can't back them up with some evidence...

I hear Kavanaugh has it in for himself in Midway...the irony would be oh so delicious.

I never said "Lorne is going to die in "Spoils of War"". I presented some information and speculated, but everybody assumed I had stated a foregone conclusion. Also, before the group even began to debunk this idea, I had already agreed that Lorne is in "Quarantine" and that he has an active role and therefore cannot die. So I think some people are so in love with the character that they simply lost possession of all mental faculties and cried foul when I mentioned the very thought of the character kicking the bucket.

Now I can't wait until Lorne really gets killed off, to watch the sobfests and tantys within the forum.

Right, well it is easy sometimes to get the wrong idea... and we're all passionate about stagate in on way or another...

LOL, It wouldn't really bother me if Lorne gets KIA... It adds realism when they show causualties on our side aswell, and the amount of times the teams have avoided certain death... killing off a recuring character once in a while IMO just brings the show back to the real world *a bit anyway*...

Here's how SCI FI describes "Spoils of War:"

High above the Replicator homeworld, a provisional alliance wages an all-out assault on the Replicator fleet. As the battle wages, a group of Wraith execute a last-minute plot to retrieve a Z.P.M. from the planet's surface.

Weeks later, the Atlantis long-range sensors detect the signal of a subspace tracking device familiar to Dr. McKay. The team follows the signal to a damaged hive ship drifting in space. Amidst the ship's records, they discover references to a secret Wraith base ...
