Hey guys, I thought I’d just take a second and clarify something that’s troubled a few of you.
The Jumpers, while in near and inside Atlantis, are pretty much on autopilot when it comes to landing and taking off. Ford does not have the ATA Gene, but ANYONE can operate and activate the Jumper’s DHD. He entered an address and just went along for the ride. Once he gets to where he’s going, he would have to fly the Jumper towards the gate for the autopilot to engage…so because he doesn’t have the gene, he’ll just dump the Jumper and move on.
Secondly, the Wraith enzyme is kinda like a steroid, it strengthens Ford without changing him genetically into a Wraith (we’ll deal with stories about that this year too…don’t you worry) therefore, the Jumper wouldn’t lock him out because he still has no Wraith DNA.
Okay…hope that clears things up. Glad most of you liked the first ep, we’re all pretty excited about the rest of the season…it gets even better from here! (There’s a 302 sequence in “The Intruder” that took my breath away the first time a saw it…I think you’ll love it.)
All the best,
Martin Gero
p.s. sometimes a hug is just a hug. Sheppard put his life on the line to save Weir and the entire city…heck, I’D give him a hug the next time I saw him too.
