Other decisions? Goodness, who knows? Some were good, some didn't turn out to be so good.sigpic

He expected McKay to be able to sort the signal out of the other subspace noise. He didn’t expect other’s to be listening for non random patterns in subspace.
So the Wraith are listening for signs of intelligence in a galaxy of primitive people. Who knew? Does that mean that they know about the Travelers and are looking for them. Or are they listening for Atlantis’ transmissions. If so they should have been on their doorstep a long time ago.sigpic

As far as getting home, I'm sure Sheppard thought that some on Atlantis would get his SOS and be along at anytime.Spoiler:sigpic

Other than that...I thought Shep was on point until Travelers. He didn't do much of anything in TR.

I think sending the signal was a calculated risk. the only person he was endangering was himself and his captors. he also from what i could make out disguised the signal as much as possible.
sometimes i think shep is to quick to put himself in danger but not on this occasion. the kiss etc not going theresigpic

Given that as a soldier, John Sheppard had to take a chance that the Wraith might pick up the signal as easily as he hoped Atlantis would. The first rule of a captured soldier is to escape. Since he had not been accorded the rights of an ambassador, but rather that of a potential enemy, he could only act with prejudice in kind. Besides, it's always better the enemy you know than the one you don't.
