Still doesn't make much sense, a Siege only works if your enemy as no way to run. They still had a fully functional stargate, the only one capable of intergalactic travel. The Wraith only had 3 ZPMs according to Tod, they would get depleted eventually, while lanteans had the capability to create more. Why not leave a defensive team on Atlantis, return to the gate, rebuild a fleet and return after the Wraith punch themselves against the city.
@@AnonimatosTM while it was the only gate that was intergalactic, the location of earth was in the database. since the lantean database was regenerative and even one small piece could allow for full database retrieval and they could not escape back to earth since all 3 zpms were depleted, they originally planned to deploy a virus and destroy Atlantis until earth sent reinforcements with a zpm they found [sg1 moebius] and sent en route on the dedaleus.. so they had to defend a city with no shields and no lantean technology. Defeating the wraith was nigh impossible for the lanteans due to the size of the wraith numbers. The siege was against 1 hive ship and they barely held their own and dedaleus destroyed 3 and long range sensors picked up another 12 iirc. [Spoilers] It was bad enough that the vanir [s5] thought it easier to use a device that destroyed active Stargates to stop the wraith from using hyperspace and the asurans, self replicating humanoid wardens, made by the lanteans though it easier and more efficient to kill all the humans rather than fight the wraith. And they had hundreds of lantean ships
Whaat? It was a good episode but it looks like they only did one take for everything, some of the scenes are just downright horrendous... It's not bad but definitely far from "one of the best", It was filmed in ~2006 or somewhere early 2000's and it's definitely showing its age...
Ehhh in terms of Space battles the earth ships were EXTREMELY under powered tbh lol rail guns and missiles don’t really do much when it comes to shields

You know. They might not have been able to outright destroy the hives with external nukes but they could've done a hell of a lot of damage by just beaming them right outside the ships after they started getting jammed.
Thats why you launch the missiles first, let them get upto speed, them beam them in as close as you can when they are already travelling fairly quickly. There is then a possibility that the wraiths point defence won't hit them before they hit the ship. Alternatively you can just play it really mean, strap a few to the outside of jumpers and cloak, have the jumper fly into the hive, drop the nuke, fly out, the detonate, rinse and repeat, ideally using as many jumpers as you can so that there is limited time for the hives to notice whats going on.
@@ThePathStrider that's actually not really true. Depth charges vs submarines are fatal at a considerable distance, as it's the pressure wave that inflicts the damage by causing a rapid pressure shift which damages water tight seals which are generally poor at dealing with rapid preasure shifts.

Man I miss this show! Pitty it was canceled, way to soon I might add... they should make like SG-1 and release a DVD to close up some holes that the show had like the whole Lt. Ford situation.
I really hate what they did with Lt. Ford. He was a likeable character before the whole hybrid shenanigans happened. Then he just became an insufferable prick.
I agree with you I wish they would’ve at least had up the loose ends and would happen to Ford like that maybe he took out a hardship with his last breath or that he escaped to continue a guerrilla warfare against the wraith etc.
Could you imagine how much easier it would have been to defend Atlantis if the Lanteans had done something simple like built point defense systems into Atlantis after the Wraith War started? Or installed a shield generator and secondary weapons systems on their Lagrange Weapon Satellites? Or stopped relying solely on Drones to win their fights?
Patrick Stivers they defended atlantis for 100 years I would call that successful but in the end wraith had unlimited numbers which forced the lanteans to leave for good cause they couldn't defend against the wraith and so in the end they left atlantis. Now why did they leave for good because the wraith had unlimited numbers because they stolen zpms and they cloned themselves to the point that they had unlimited numbers you also find out that the lanteans created the wraith then created the Asurans which are the replicators to fight their first mistake the wraith. They have also created other things which all leads to the lanteans aren't really the nice people we thought on a second note it is mentioned in the series that there are other advanced civilizations, civilizations as advanced as the lanteans but they are hiding and they will continue to hide till the day the wraith are no longer a threat then they will come out
Patrick Stivers I love how Samantha Carter keep saying they built these spaceships b******* they didn't build that ship billionaire Adrienne cross who was infected by a guy who hosts the first ship trying to get off world that's how they got our space Fleet courtesy of him SG-1 did not have a space Fleet
You know, I know they're not as precise, and use Naquidah, but I'm surprised they didn't bring over any of the Goa'uld mounted heavy staff Cannons. I know there's no way they didn't have a few laying around, heck, teal'c uses one as his primary for a couple episodes, they seem like they could be a useful, slightly more portable option for heavy/AA support.
If a zpm would be delpleted from all of that within days then how do the wrath weapons not run out of energy under a constant bombardment or even overheat.
The Atlantis Shield requires an incredible amount of energy to maintain constant bombardment, but is also the most powerful shield known to tau'ri. The wraith are far from that advanced, and their weapons is barely able to scratch the surface of the shield. Therefore, they don't require nearly as much energy to use. To pose a threat to atlantis, all known wraith ships need to maintain constant bombardment, Besides, when one ship goes out of juice,they can just send in another
August Giæver They would have to out put as much energy as a zpm can produce in order to drain it. Simple physics. This also doesnt explain how those weapons dont overheat, how they never run out of energy or why the ancients considered wrath weapons to be extremely powerful and formidible. Given this basic knowledge of physics it makes me wonder how the wrath ever defeated the ancients considering they were able to produce zpms like we do AA batterys and of course that thw wrath weapons are energy weapons and would have to put out an equal amount of energy to deplete the shields and thereby the zpms.
eraldorh Strength in numbers. The wraith vastly outnumber the ancients, even their shield can't hold too long against constant bombardment from a thousand ships. They can hold long, sure, but not forever
Because pretty much all wraith tech is organic I'm sure they manage to get around overheating through some sort of biological process which you could also apply to how they produce power. Maybe through some weird wraith version of photosynthesis they convert one type of energy into another then fire it out of the ships as the energy weapons.....kinda how some animals fire venom or stingers. While they did have treated numbers by the time the ancients had fallen back to Atlantis they had no way to produce ships or extra weapons but they could produce zpm's so they had infinite shields....they only reason the war stopped was because they couldn't find a way out so they sank the city and wanked off to earth.
Also if you look at the little hologram Shepard shows the colonel in the teaching room thingy the amount of ships in orbit which were pretty much firing continuously would have put out roughly the amount of power a zpm uses or something close... it's just the ancients could make more faster than the wraith could deplete.
Its sad they have never asked the question how zpms are made. I mean ancienst must have had a way of producing them effectively. Maybe even inside atlantis.
The generator needs to be used, solar battery as in geo+solar+method for those zpms. The naquada planets, geothermal planets, and a direct solar powered ship charger in a sun for power creation of zpm
My guess is that once they realised that the Wraith were capturing their warships the Ancients took time to scuttle certain technologies (like ZPM factories and intergalactic hyperdrives) to prevent the Wraith acquiring them.
Once the Wraith hive ships employed counter measures to stop them beaming nukes aboard, I never quite understood why they didn't at least try to beam a nuke outside next to the hive ships; at that close proximity surely they would've still vaporised their targets? Although had that worked then that would've been a not so dramatic end to that particular episode 😂
Tylerjb123100 thanks for that, I should've figured that one out....but I guess that's why I don't write scripts for tv 😂 Ps: missiles seem to do ok in the vacuum of space, I don't know I guess I'm just saying there was potentially scope to figuring out a work around in stead of simply fleeing back to Atlantis 🤷🏾♂️ I do love this show mind; and that particular scene was kinda epic!!
@@superheroalerts3761 one thing they could of done was beam a nuclear tipped missile behind or nearby the hive ships and allow them to launch, thus making it impossible to determine which area they could be attacked from
Tylerjb123100 now that's what I'm talking about, although our mission to rethink the 2nd act would've ruined the 3rd act including obliterating the mind altered Lt Ford's daring nuclear detonation assisted "escape" from Atlantis!!
In one of the episodes they went practically all in with the missiles against a single hive ship...one managed to hit it and while it did significant damage it wasn't enough to knock it out of action, had to do further damage + secondary explosions to do so...and the ship was still spaceworthy...
Their should be a reboot of this show, They never did explore the who city , Maybe their was a surplus of ZPMs in a storage room somewhere in the city ,
that would be hilarious they walk in see racks full of them and just look at each other and flashbacks of the hundreds of times where zpms would have been really useful play and u see shepherd turn to mckay and say what the actual fuck rodney
@Joeseph Smith welcome Cuz, I’m a retired civilian engineer for the Navy (NSWCDD). A RailGun round is beyond visual range to fast to see a reader. You are talking about a round traveling at TWO OR THREE THOUSAND MPH. Blink and it’s gone.
You know it would be so interesting if they would have showed what happened after they left. I mean boom they send a spaceship back to that galaxy and they see The Wraith have taken over cause Atlantis left.
The Daedalus had Asgard plasma weapons, i dont understand why didnt use them, just laser the hives and booooom. why Always rail guns ? In the entire series was this way. somebody explain me this please. The only case when they used the asgard plasma weapons was destroying asurans ships. I just dont get it.
+David Smith because they only got them in season 10 of SG-1 which was around season 3 or 4 of Atlantis. this battle takes place at the end of season 1 of Atlantis.
+David Smith At this point of the show (video above) the Stargate Program did not have beam technology at the time. Furthermore, in reference to what you are talking about with Asuran ships being decimated by beam weapons, this was part of (another)the replicator arc, which saw a planet of Asuran replicators attacking human settlements in an attempt to wipe out the Wraith. With that being said, the Wraith and Earth humans teamed up to double whammy the replicator ships using guerrilla tactics, eventually leading to a war with the replicators involving 3 different factions (Earth humans/wraith/traveler humans). This was also the point after the mass genocide of the Asgard race and after humanity had accumulated far more ZPM's to power their ships.
So this is when the deadalus was literally brand new and lines up with season 8 of sg1 the episode where they use the time jumper to be exact and they don't get the asgard weapons till 2 years later
never understood this... why would you engage them instead of keeping max distance from them while blowing them up. best case scenario is your ship is outta their sensor range and they dont understand whats happening. but yea i guess that would be less action and exploding consoles xD
That ZPM was found in the Milky Way, we don't know how much power it had when discovered, but it had then been used to beat off Anubis with a chair weapon, send the original expedition to Atlantis, send reinforcements to Atlantis, get the Daedalus to Atlantis in a fraction of the time it would have otherwise taken, and then soaked a kamikaze run by a whole lot of darts. It's probably safe to say that it was running on dregs before they first raised the shield.
think about it the city was in top condition and underwater when the asurans were there but its a rust bucket, i hate to say it but Atlantis is a shadow of its former self
Also we don't know what the compounding effect of 3 is. It could be significantly more than 3 times the amount. It could be 3 squared x 3 squared etc. And who says they didn't know how to recharge or know how to balance energy usage better, or even stop the shields being hit etc. Numerous plot holes in your theory.
They were destroyed when Tollana fell and Carter admitted that the ion cannons were so advanced that backward engineering one of these things for mass production is well beyond us.
I've always thought that firing those drones are very funny but challenging too, because mentally you are thinking in 3 dimensions and firing 6-8 at the same time... uff...
While I do love this battle, I want to scream in frustration at seeing MANNED railguns, instead of some nice radars and networked CIWS-Turrets! Phalanx would make minced meat out of darts (especially if they give them larger ammo-capacity than the regular ones) especially if you also bring some Reaper-Missiles (British Air Defense system)...not to mention using ship-killer drones to shoot down fighters! Shepard, you bozo! Stop wasting those!
Manpads would have been the best friend here but they likely only were able to get those anti tank rockets so they worked with what they had but yes bringing in some ciws batteries would have made mincemeat of those darts and we get the brrrrt
This scene came from nowhere, what is normally a rather slow paced show suddenly having a battle like this happen.

that would be hilarious they walk in see racks full of them and just look at each other and flashbacks of the hundreds of times where zpms would have been really useful play and u see shepherd turn to mckay and say what the actual fuck rodney
No, ZPMs can be detected by orbital scans.
Awesome show therefore great clip thanks for uploading :)
at times the sound is off compared to the video
True, and it ruins the vid...
Where's the Marine on the machine gun screaming, 'GET SOME, GET SOME!'?
"get some" translates into wraith as "dinner time" so he was beamed into a dart for some post battle snacks.
All that tech and no fire control
When Terrian say "no"
they use the same weapons sound for the p90 as for the m16
the sound is not matching by more then one second, this ruins the whole watching experience
I cant stand it, I love this scene but this is pure torture!
Ikr that's like the SAME thing I think aswell...
Have a nice fat spliff and you won’t even notice the one second difference lol
@@pman885 Not true ive had 3 and i can still notice it
May the templar force be with you
Rodney is even more impressive if you consider the impossible windows they give him he spends half of it complaining
I wonder what if they install CIWS?
May want to check audio sync next time
why is the sound track off by quite a few seconds?
It looks like a chinese film that has been subbed
11 years and you still haven't fixed the typo in the title.
Sound and image not running at the same speed...
Kinda crazy how those wraith ships can continue firing for several days without depleting their power reserves.
best episode..¡¡
So you can't beam inside their ships, how about just outside the dart bay doors?
Same reason they had to drill the asteroid in Armageddon. Hitting it from outside may not be enough.
What happened to the sound?
the city shield would have been useful in this case
Anyone one ever notice the kill rate for the rail guns pretty good odds
Wow the audio is really out of sync.
I recorded this show right up to the wraith attack....then life went haywire...this is the first time Ive seen any of the subsequent film...closure
Tracers on a rail gun! Are you nuts. Those rounds travel at MACH 6 or faster.
@Joeseph Smith actually I have seen an actual Rail Gun being fired IRL
@Joeseph Smith welcome Cuz, I’m a retired civilian engineer for the Navy (NSWCDD). A RailGun round is beyond visual range to fast to see a reader. You are talking about a round traveling at TWO OR THREE THOUSAND MPH. Blink and it’s gone.
Fire everything
You know it would be so interesting if they would have showed what happened after they left. I mean boom they send a spaceship back to that galaxy and they see The Wraith have taken over cause Atlantis left.
See video games come in handy for training
Omg all they had to do was get Jackson and a few Asgard to find the ZPM factory.
Könnt mit Ibiza auch passieren.
The Daedalus had Asgard plasma weapons, i dont understand why didnt use them, just laser the hives and booooom. why Always rail guns ? In the entire series was this way. somebody explain me this please. The only case when they used the asgard plasma weapons was destroying asurans ships. I just dont get it.
+David Smith because they only got them in season 10 of SG-1 which was around season 3 or 4 of Atlantis. this battle takes place at the end of season 1 of Atlantis.
+David Smith At this point of the show (video above) the Stargate Program did not have beam technology at the time. Furthermore, in reference to what you are talking about with Asuran ships being decimated by beam weapons, this was part of (another)the replicator arc, which saw a planet of Asuran replicators attacking human settlements in an attempt to wipe out the Wraith.
With that being said, the Wraith and Earth humans teamed up to double whammy the replicator ships using guerrilla tactics, eventually leading to a war with the replicators involving 3 different factions (Earth humans/wraith/traveler humans). This was also the point after the mass genocide of the Asgard race and after humanity had accumulated far more ZPM's to power their ships.
Not when it was first built it didn't
So this is when the deadalus was literally brand new and lines up with season 8 of sg1 the episode where they use the time jumper to be exact and they don't get the asgard weapons till 2 years later
never understood this... why would you engage them instead of keeping max distance from them while blowing them up.
best case scenario is your ship is outta their sensor range and they dont understand whats happening. but yea i guess that would be less action and exploding consoles xD
Background should be just that.
How is the audio out of sync 😂
a (fully charged?) zpm is depleted within days of non stop fire and yet 3 zpms lasted 100 years in the first seige?? come on...
That ZPM was found in the Milky Way, we don't know how much power it had when discovered, but it had then been used to beat off Anubis with a chair weapon, send the original expedition to Atlantis, send reinforcements to Atlantis, get the Daedalus to Atlantis in a fraction of the time it would have otherwise taken, and then soaked a kamikaze run by a whole lot of darts. It's probably safe to say that it was running on dregs before they first raised the shield.
Wait...that wasn't the same ZPM. SG-1 found another one on earth in the past. That's the one that was taken to Atlantis.
think about it the city was in top condition and underwater when the asurans were there but its a rust bucket, i hate to say it but Atlantis is a shadow of its former self
bonk brazool more then likely the ancients kept replacing depleted zpm
Also we don't know what the compounding effect of 3 is. It could be significantly more than 3 times the amount. It could be 3 squared x 3 squared etc. And who says they didn't know how to recharge or know how to balance energy usage better, or even stop the shields being hit etc. Numerous plot holes in your theory.
Whats the theme from 13:58 called?
They should have used the ion Canons from the tolen
They were destroyed when Tollana fell and Carter admitted that the ion cannons were so advanced that backward engineering one of these things for mass production is well beyond us.
Show needed a movie after season 5 what happen did it stay in Bay Area? 🐵🙈🙉🙊🐒
It got some novels. Went back to Pegasus or else the city would blow up.
1:24 - Release the Squids!
I've always thought that firing those drones are very funny but challenging too, because mentally you are thinking in 3 dimensions and firing 6-8 at the same time... uff...
Season?
the dart explode near colonel everet and weir.why debris not scatter around?
Big as explosion, the darts are just scatered particles
Use anti-aircraft missiles against alien space fighters - ❌, use machine guns and assault rifles - ✅
They don’t make them like this anymore, unfortunately
air attacker; concentrate on their gun placements first. Ground defense; aim 15 to 18 feet infront of the fighter jets to bring them down.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Guerra nas estrelas
I would trade both seasons of SGU for a proper final season of SGA.
Other shows would have done some skip-to-end or deus-ex-machina to avoid the cost of making the episode. Not Stargate Atlantis
Its ok an ok video but the sound is out if sync with the video
Why didnt he just use the few drones he had to take out the hive in space?
they can be depleted they are essentially a burning hot battery with a shield and engine.
Those soldiers were earning their pay that day...
Lets not forget he DIDNT PUT MUSIC IN IT! ALLHAIL "BiggestStargateFan!"
They should have brought some heat seeking missiles too.
video is out of sync with the audio.
I wonder what one would pay for every episode of every season?
bugs in a windshield
While I do love this battle, I want to scream in frustration at seeing MANNED railguns, instead of some nice radars and networked CIWS-Turrets! Phalanx would make minced meat out of darts (especially if they give them larger ammo-capacity than the regular ones) especially if you also bring some Reaper-Missiles (British Air Defense system)...not to mention using ship-killer drones to shoot down fighters! Shepard, you bozo! Stop wasting those!
Manpads would have been the best friend here but they likely only were able to get those anti tank rockets so they worked with what they had but yes bringing in some ciws batteries would have made mincemeat of those darts and we get the brrrrt
