did anyone else predict as soon as they saw how cool that device was and how awsome it would have been to reverse engineer it that there is no possible way their gonna let it survive the episode? because i sure did, i so wish that they would have let makay keep it or at least tell us the adress to the planet apperently loaded with technology because that would have made for an excelent episode, or possibly a movie.

yea i knew that we wont have it, but mckay had a peak at it and it may help him 'dream it up' or at least think he can 'dream it up' well that doesn't matter because atlantis is done and i don't think they will make a movie about one small device + it wouldn't be too useful for us because we use more defensive combat strategies than runners. as a new tech it's cool to understand but not too useful...science/physics/universe can't tell good from bad, which means that both concepts are abstract and don't matter... don't be afraid of acting on this knowledge...

Actually I thought it could either way. I knew they wouldn't get the location of planet it was found on, but it was one device with severe limitations and they haven't had luck at reproducing technology like that in the past. They could have just as easy kept it in Atlantis (or sent it to area 51) under the idea that it's too valuable to give to someone for everyday use and brought it back to solve a particular problem in a follow up episode (or never have gotten around to it as has happened with so many things sent to area 51).

Alot of time and resources would be wasted trying to reverse engineer a device like that, there are bigger fish to fry after all.
Why have a teleportation device when you can cruise around in a nice cloaked Jumper?Islanded In A Stream Of Stars...

Actually, I thought this gadget was something like a Soudon Cloak: maybe some kinda subspace shunt or 'timestop' device. I mean, a TP device THAT small, with no real controls (targeting sensors, for instance I mean they seem to infer Asgard beam tech takes lot of space and energy), almost seems unbelievable.
You know what I mean.

I didn't think it was that great. Yes it has benefits but I feel it is a rehash of several weapons we have seen in the universe.
Its also really unpredictable sometimes there is a lag. Sometimes there isn't
Regarding the end:
Spoiler:He goes down wastes one wriath. He teleports immediately and kills another. He dials the gate but why didn't he press the button just as he jumped through so as to pretend to go through the gate

Given valuable information the tracker seemed to have. And their was only a small group of wraith after him. They saw the gate address to. A few puddle jumpers and a couple of SGA teams could of extracted him from the planet.

Of course I was assuming he ran out of power anyway but thought it would have been cool to see him survive (as opposed to missing in action).
