What I know so far (strictly hearsay from the "Countdown"-thread):
* All the Ancients are apparentely dead (or gone, the post said "They're gone")
* The Asurans planned to activate Atlantis' Stardrive, which means they probably brought 3 ZPMs with them (or two, because the Ancients had 1 as well)
* Carson sat in the chair and destroyed the Stardrive somehow (droning Atlantis itself using Atlantis?!)
* They blew up the control room!
* Disrupter weapons apparentely work on the Asurans! They shot some guy using it and he died.
* Plan A was for Rodney to put a virus inside of an Asuran and have him upload it to the rest of them through their link. However, he when Rodney brought him back online, he attacked, prompting Rodney to shoot him with the disrupter. He died (this could be Niam).
* Rodney and the others hacked the shield and turned it into a giant disrupter weapon and then they tricked the Asurans into raising the shield, which killed them all.
* The episode is Jack-heavy (so all the O'Neill fans out there, go "Yay"!)
* John does not get demoted or courtmarshalled or fired or anything. The threat is brought up several times throughout the episode, though (so we know that Earth's contacting them somehow).
* The Asurans repair the control room (that or they repaired the damage done when they first attacked the city... probably both).

yeah that's pretty much what i got from the countdown thread

[Ltcolshepjumper]

Yeah, I read that. The person disrupted was... I think someone said Niam? But the shield is now a disruptor too. sweet.That sucks though. So what they are saying is that all they had to do to the Asurans' cityship was make the shield into a disruptor?

[Elitenova]

but I want the whole storyline not spoiler.

[FallenAngelII]

Just added more stuff. I think that's all. I hope some Canadians wake up soon to spoil us all to Kingdom McShep.

[blahdkm]

Ok, First off yay for a new episode.

Secondly. The Replicator were planning to move the city. Which from our previous knowledge requires 3(??) ZPM's. As far as we know they weren't touched when The Weapon washed over the replicators. So, this leaves Atlantis, with assumably(unless they screw us over ), three ZPM's.

What do you think they'll do with them?

[silence]

shield as disruptor? OMG... i can't wait to see that. i soooo didn't expect something like that.

[beanyman86]

i'd guess that

Spoiler:

when mckay uses the uses the shields activating to triggar the weapon i requires so much enery the i depletes a zpm or 2

but it's just a guess

[hamstrad]

how did u see the episode????????

[beanyman86]

no i didn't see it, couldn't stop myself from reading the spoilers

[hamstrad]

ah i see thats a shame i cant wait to see it

[beanyman86]

me either

[silence]

ah i see thats a shame i cant wait to see it

welcome to the club...

[Ltcolshepjumper]

I've got a question. Since the Asuran Stargate was destroyed with their cityship, do they have a Stargate anymore? IF they do then Mckay could try to make the disruptor shield go through the stargate to their homeworld and bye-bye replicators.
