'Enemy At the Gate' (520) General Discussion

[Mitchell82]

I'd rather be told that aliens exist by the world governments than have a ha'tak flying overhead as part of an invasion force tell me that I'm not alone in the universe.
At this point, I find it ridiculous that, for all the observatories and radio satellites and Jack-level amateur astronomers and... that no one has seen all these ships in the sky or picked up radio chatter.

The government can cover all of that up......trust me.

We shouldn't be discussing this in a public forum.

Actually, that sounds to me like the sort of thing someone might really say in those situations.

It wasnt so much what he said, but the poor way that he acted using the keyboard to make the screen behind him show the location of Atlantis. The line itself was okay, but imho the acting wasnt 100%.

Speaking from experience?

Didn't we have someone a few years back who claimed to be working at a top secret US military installation?

[Voxyn]

LOL.

Anyone that claimed such a thing would be either dead or in some deep underground facility being punished.

hehehe.

If a person really works for any Government's top secret projects I seriously doubt that he isn't being traced every second of the day.

..or picked up radio chatter.

I've always wondered about this, but who says that the Goa'uld or Asgard use regular radio waves to communicate.

Maybe they use some frequency that we don't usually detect.
Or are using a subspace frequency.

Yup.

Don't know but I have been on many "black ops" missions.

[Flyboy]

Yup.

Then you really shouldn't be publicising this fact, considering that your IP can easily be identified and thus your location traced. A black op, as opposed to a covert op, is one that is essentially illegal and all knowledge and existence of is denied. Such examples would include cross border operations in Vietnam. Even acknowledging that you partook in a black operation counteracts exactly what a black op is...

Just saying...

[Infinite-Possibilities]

Perhaps he means surgery on African Americans?

I'm aware of that. Most of my work in the military is/was and will always be classified. You're right I shouldn't admit that I was involved in "unofficial" missions. Not just for the fact that I don't like what I did, it's the fact that our government denies all knowledge of those missions. Now excuse me while I get my foot out of my mouth.

Did anyone else notice the picture of Woolsey's Yorkie in the background of his scene with Ronon and Teyla? He had a studio portrait taken of his dog! And he keeps it prominently displayed in his office! No wonder he's still sad about losing it to the ex-wife.

Lol indeed.

So... If a hive with a ZPM can detect cloaked jumpers, can the Asgard sensors aboard the ZPM-ed Odyssey?
