A lot of people on this forum seem to think that Atlantis did rather poorly when it took on the superhive in EATG. After watching the episode a few more times I beg to differ.
Towards the end of the battle, just before the nuke goes off, we see that the hive has stopped firing. It is obvious from other episodes that the Wraith keep up a constant stream of fire on any enemy ship, so it is a fair assumption that Atlantis must have disabled the superhives weapons. This would decrease the drain on the city shield, and if Beckett stopped firing (as he had done at this point) he may have had enough power to pull the city up and finish off the hive.
So if the nuke had not gone off for some reason, would Atlantis have been able to take out the superhive?
