"Deliverance" (211) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

[The Swarm]

I just got drunk instead.

Oh silly Red, stop being such a Negative Nancy.... im sure that you will change your oppinion down the road.

[coZma]

so when will we see a trailer?

[jelgate]

Not for months

[Nikec3]

There is at least one scene from this episode in this trailer:

One drone ship is in the shuttle.

I just finished watching episode 10 and I think I know how episode 11 will be.

My guess is that the seeding ship is near the enemy command ship Chloe sends an override command forcing it to self-destruct and blowing itself up and the enemy command ship (since the ships power source + the gates power = one huge big explosion).

The destiny crew losses their ability to go back home thus continuing the Stargate Universe series...

Its too small, but it looks like a drone

[Spimman]

I can't wait for this. I'm thinking Chloe saves the day and helps us make an alliance or something.

Hoping anyways...

[Jper]

That seems obvious, now the only questions are, will it be obvious or won't it be. And how then will Chloe save them?

That was my guess also. Ramming speed !!!

I was thinking maybe Chloe was calling in the blues. They'ed be forced to duke it out with the drones and command ship while Destiny gets its ftl back online and gets out of there. But your scenario makes much more sense.

[DarkandBright]

Another possibility: Chloe knows that Destiny has more weapons than the cannons we know and have seen. Perhaps she activated some additional powerful weapons nobody else knows of, so that Destiny can defend itself. Her words 'too late' do not seem to fit - but perhaps this has its price. In fact, I was always wondering why Destiny does not have better defense systems and seems too vulnerable.

[greenguywithlasereye]

funny how if chloe makes the seedship blow up, the only known way home would be gone, and yet her father funded icarus which made it possible to get *to* destiny. this drama-y version makes sense

what else: maybe more ursini are called by the seed ship, to help destiny out and succeed. less drama-y but not impossible. just a step up from it..

The ship is old, very old. The ship is in a state of disrepair. Whatever Destiny uses to store the energy collected from a star is likely only able to store half or less than it was originally designed. It's power distribution system is a mess, the weapons take power from the shield whenever there fired and the main weapon can only be fired a few times without something breaking. The ship also has to constantly maintain smaller shields over several hull breaches further draining power.

Theres also the fact that the ship was never ment to be a battleship.
