Blue Aliens cant dial the ship?

[Astrofighter]

They knew the location, obviously they sent their ships there, as such even without a dhd or kino pad they should have been able to manually dial the gate to the location where the ship was located...or are you telling me they have speeds equal to destiny with their ships but they have no idea how all the stargates work?

Maybe the Universe gates are incapable of manual dialing just like the Pegasus gates

But they're spinny! And I bet dollars to donuts there's some sort of power source under the little ramps the gates are up on.

Its possible they dont have that ability....yet. Look at what we know. They have been following Destiny in ships of their own. The probably know that the there is a connection to Destiny and the gates. They know that we can operate the stargates, using the network, and accessing Destiny with them. We are using a DHD, operating on a subspace link connecting to the network. Eventually they will hack the subspace link. There have been at least 2 planets that we know of where the Blues were investigating the gates. Its only a matter of time.

In the previews for season 2 * Mod edit : late S1 ep(s) of S1

Spoiler:

there is an episode where the blue aliens step thru the gate onto destiny. So it's gonna happen soon.

Wow spoiler tags?

Does Destiny's gate address shift (relative to local gates, not point of origin/Earth gates) as it moves? If it does, that could go a long way to explaining why they haven't been able to dial the ship up.

They're actually the previews for the back half of season 1, not season 2.

I think they are just using the same address the used in Air to get their, only they dont need the extra power b/c they aren't dialing a massive distance. Im not 100% on that though just an assumption

From what we've seen so far, Destiny's gate address has remains fixed for millions of years regardless of its physical location. If and how the aliens get their hands on the address is a different matter.

Spoiler for something they showed in the preview for the season? Obviously they want fans to know about it. They put it in the PREVIEW!! omg =)

[Bagpuss]

Just because previews include some spoilers for unseen episodes doesn't mean this Forum supports untagged spoilers.

We have a longstanding policy of trying to protect members who don't want to be spoiled rotten ahead of airing time in the US/other countries.

Check out the GW policy and let's keep this thread on topic.

Well, in Atlantis, they mentioned how they can lock out gate addresses from dialing in, so I'm guessing it kind of works the same here? Destiny only accepts dial-ins from the remotes?
