Lucian alliance....

[s09119]

A goauld mothership's shields can protect a ship for up to 10 hours in the corona of a sun. They don't need Destiny's shields or weapons. The star recharge thing might be nice, but hardly worth all the trouble they are going through.

I've thought about this every which way, and I still can't see why the LA wants Destiny. It's old tech. Sure, it's got information on things way out in the universe; but according to JM, the LA has upgraded shields that can stand against our asgard beam weapons, as ridiculous as they sounds. They don't NEED Destiny at all; just more ships than Earth and they can take us over. Which would be a better use of resources than trying to get to Destiny.

All I can say is, I hope the writers give us a REALLY good reason why.

That ha'tak was hovering above a star, so I'm gonna assume the quote you refer to was in regards to radiation or heat. Diving into a star... yeah, I'd like to see a mothership pull that off.

You also need to look at the fact that this is a small part of the Lucian Alliance, not the full body of it. For all we know Kiva could be doing this without them knowing.

Maybe they have intel that in the next galaxy Destiny goes to there's a new, more addictive strain of kassa.

The Lucian Alliance has no Ancient technology.

The Goa'uld tech came from Ancient tech reversed engineered by the latter for their own use, just FYI and is still far superior than anything the Destiny itself could offer, they must want the database, is the only thing truly valuable enough to risk getting stranded.

[s09119]

Except that the Ancient tech on the destiny is even more primitive that what they already have, there has to be more.

They don't need him now that they have the man who unlocked the ninth chevron for Earth. No reason to keep him around.

As for getting to Destiny, they can figure out how to reverse-engineer the Ancient technology on the ship and send their findings back to the Milky Way via the communication stones.

It makes you wonder if they even tried to figure out a way to make it so you can email using the thing... I mean you can transfer someones consciousness that far why not a simple fax or email?

[Drakonous]

Well, that wouldn't excuse how ruthless she seems to be. I think she is going to cause lots of problems.

This is true, but then again you have to look at her background. And due to that it may explain a few things. If I recall she said she wants what's best for her people. But then again we have only seen her in one episode thus far so we may not know how far she will go to protect them.

Which makes no sense but whatever...

Kiva killed her own top scientist just to spook Rush, I think it's clear the Alliance is willing to strand their own people on the other side of the universe if it means they get Ancient tech, whatever the quality of said tech is.

Which makes no sense but whatever...

Kiva certainly sets an interesting bar as far as the Lucian Alliance go. The fact she's a warlords daughter defiantly gives her some huge ranking among the LA. I wonder if at heart she wants to explore and the Destiny is the only way for her to do that... It would be an interesting twist imo...

[the fifth man]

With this episode, the Lucian Alliance has really taken a step forward IMO. They seem much more formidable now than they did on SG-1.

[Replicator Todd]

Honestly, I don't care why! I'm just glad we get to see them!
