Plot Question

[SaberBlade]

Sorry to ask silly question...... Please don't flame me.

But which version of Rodney is in this? Is that "our Rodney" doing a sliders into the AU to talk to Sheppard or is that the AU rodney that knows about "our universe" and........

Also I might be wrong but is the wraith in this episode one that fell from our universe into this alternate universe?

It's a completely new Rodney. The AU Rodney belonged to that reality and since Sheppard wasn't part of the Atlantis Expedition, it wasn't Rod. If that Rodney had met the main continuity ("our" reality) then chances are it would have seen/explained on the show. The Wraith during the episode also belonged to that dimension, it's just their version of Todd managed to find Earth, go there with a ZPM powered Hive, get his ass kicked and have another survivor send a signal while "our" Todd was still in the process of making his ZPM powered Hive.

it wasn't necessarily a zpm powere dhive

I disagree. The 'Vegas' reality, while having it's noticeable differences, seemed to be playing out events before they happened within the main reality. So I think it's more than likely that what happened in 'Vegas', could have happened in 'Enemy at the Gates'. A ZPM powered Hive, trying to reach Earth, only real difference is Todd being betrayed, which could be down to Todd not wanting to attack Earth yet or because he didn't want to at all due to his weird relationship with John.

But the signal the Wraith tried to send was penetrating out from the AU reality into ours? Wasn't this the same signal mentioned in EATG?

[asdf1239]

yes

[Coco Pops]

yes

I don't get that....... Why make a signal that powerful that it peneatrates other universes? I'm surprised the Wraith dude knew that

[SaberBlade]

I think it penetrating into other dimensions was a side effect, not done on purpose.

Oh ok I'll have to watch the episode again... Thanks.

yes, the explosion caused by the plane missiles combined with the signal strength sent it into another reality for some reason
