    Question on the "distraction" (Spoilers)

    Why, why exactly did they need all five team members to pilot the runaway jumper when only one would do? Since they're not genetic clones, the ancient gene shouldn't have come into play. Have 1 repli-team member pilot the jumper, while the rest come back to Atlantis and get shot with ARGs to take out the nanites.

    I'd love to see that skill set repeated over, but I know its not feasable from a writer's standpoint.

    Why wouldn't they be genetic clones? they were still organic. And even with nanites you need cells to divided to heal wounds and cells can't divide or indeed function without DNA. But as for why all five of them had to be in the Jumper I don't know.
    A word of advice... there are creatures that live between this dimension and the next, fiendish creatures that feast on the suffering of an entire world to satiate their eternal hunger. Support the Gateworld Cantina or suffer the fate of all who fall into the clutches of the 'Eladrith Ynneas'

      Maybe they wanted them to detect the life signs of 5 people? Or they knew they were going to die and decided to go out as a team.

        I think that's it. There needed to be five of them on the PJ. But I also think, as Elizabeth said, sacrificing themselves to save someone else is exactly what the human team would do, and she wanted to prove she was human. <sniff>

                  So that if the jumper was compromised they'd have a fighting chance at survival.

                      that's because I hate stupid and useless death in scifi.

                        Wrong again. The movie supposedly addresses the Ori, and S4 takes place after the movie. So tone off the hate and go play with your legos.

                              So they weren't killed off-screen. We knew that they got blown to pieces by Merlin's weapon.

                              Well, cept for Adria. So technically, the Ori are still alive.. through her.

                              I prefer teamfortress 2 than legos. Too many pieces get stuck together and incredibly hard to get apart.
