Stargate Atlantis - Midway (S04E17)

- The IOA is conducting interviews back on Earth to ensure that any personnel serving on Atlantis (in particular, aliens) are suitable for their roles. The episode opens up with a pregnant Teyla having been interviewed and reporting back to Atlantis. Ronon is next. Col. Carter is unsure about Ronon's ability to handle the IOA's interview and therefore asks Teal'c to come to Atlantis in a coaching capacity for Ronon. After a rocky start to their relationship, Ronon and Teal'c return to Earth, via the series of Stargates and a Midway Station, that McKay had previously designed. The Midway Station between the Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies serves primarily as a place for those traveling between the galaxies to serve a 24 hour quarantine. While Teal'c and Ronon are serving their quarantine in the extremely cramped Midway Station, it is boarded by the Wraith, via the Stargate, with the intention to travel to Stargate Command on Earth. They achieve this objective, but only with Teal'c and Ronon in tow. What ensues is a battle between the Wraith and the duo of Teal'c and Ronon, for control of Stargate Command.

I love how Ronan and John are basically like brothers by this point.
I am glad that I am not the only one who thought that.
All good relationships start with a good kidnapping.
Ronon's smile as he's messing with sleeping John absolutely priceless.
The Midway Station was one of the coolest ideas. Insane they took all those Stargates from somewhere to use.
Yeah but wtf they didn’t put an iris😂
Ronan shoving Kavanagh is classic! Love the Ronan/Sheppard dynamic
Loved that. Dude was annoying.
Well he did save the life of Sheppards team except Ronan
I did find that funny too since he wasn't even being antagonistic that time and Ronan's first reaction was to attack him.
@@AdeptKing attack? you are a big old wuss, huh? stop over reacting.
"Teal'c and I took care of the Wraith".
Those poor Wraith.
To be honest, Teal'C enjoyed it. Since the Ori were defeated he hasn't been able to kick any ass.
@@SoranoGuardias Indeed.
Shortest invasion ever... they never had any chance.
But Teal'c nearly got fed on by a wraith saved at the last moment by Ronon. Teal'c: "Good timing" Ronon "Indeed" Loved the Teal'c /Ronon dynamic.
Rodney‘s speech still cracks me up 😂 “Talking and talking TTTTT”
0:53
Ronan : Where’s Sheppard?
McKay : Lasted about a day, *sealed* himself in
pushes button outside flightdeck and unseals it 🤔
Let's be honest, the whole episode was pretty ridiculous, it was just there as fan service.
And love that we got it, it was so much fun but it's definitely not one that you want to think to hard about.
@@shadowphoenix1696 That segment didn’t require intense though to realize it was poorly written.
@@skyserf that was probably just a time constraints issue or they just wanted to have joke with Ronin waking Sheppard up, but yeah the easy work around would be have Ronin bang on the door and Sheppard opens it.
Like I said the plot and plot points in this episode don't hold up, it's just there for fun.
@@shadowphoenix1696 Ronan banging on the door and Sheppard opening it would have made more sense but then they wouldn’t have the bit with Ronan messing with Sheppard to wake him up.
@@skyserf I know..... Hmmm
McKay: He lasted about two days and then sealed himself off and said if I open the door he keep us permanently stunned until helped arrived.
Ronin: Makes sense
Ronin: no wonder he didn't hear the radio "walks up to Sheppard and proceeds to mess with him to wake him up"
There I think that works but something else in the episode would need to be 2 second shorter. That shouldn't be to hard they have plenty of llingering shots to choose from.
a friend shakes your shoulder to wake you up. a best friend messes with you.
Sheppard: Thank GGGOOOD....I almost shot myself witht the stunner.
Got to love how Kavanagh was just trying to genuinely thank Ronan and he still shoved him away.
Look at the soldier at the top right. You can tell he’s laughing before the camera focuses on him
It would be funny if dr Lee and Dr Kavanagh would be talking about Wormhole Extreme and it’s spin-off maybe something like Wormhole Andromeda (Atlantis parody) 😂
God I love Dr Lee
How often do you see Ronan with a big ass grin? 😁
Love it. Thx
A million thumbs up!
They should have salvaged the Tria, bought it back and to midway and used it as a control point for midway. If the Wraith tried it again, they could vent the gate room from well beyond any range of the Wraith's stunner grenade things.
Good episode
I distinctly remember teyla going to earth in one episode with shepherd and they hit up a McDonald's I think?
Lol
That was the one where the Atlantis Expedition found a planet with enough atmospheric energy to dial Earth. The atmosphere was actually a bunch of energy-based life forms that game the Expedition the illusion of making it back.
I think that was the S1 episode where a bunch of energy creatures messed with their heads with a bunch of illusions and Sheppard realized they were fake when a couple guys he saw die years before or something walked up to him.
The solution to the fiasco of Midway is simple, though not cheap.
Swap the two chains of gates, keep a small station in the middle, and build a somewhat larger station on each end.
you go from Atlantis to a station, transition to a series of milkyway gates to another station, switch to pegasus gates to a third station, and then jump to Earth.
Or even simpler, you just add enough gates so that you go from Atlantis directly into the chain. From what I remember, they go from Atlantis through a couple of planets, THEN to the Pegasus chain. The Wraith figured out what was going on and got the necessary code from one of the planetary relay gates, which let them into the system. Replace the planetary relay gates with gates out in deep space that the Wraith can't find to hack and you have a secure network again.
They don't need another Midway.
Midway was planned at the beginning of Season 3 - they only had a ZPM at Atlantis and, due to unforseeable circumstances, depleted that one - with no other sources for new ZPM's in sight, they had to think of a different long-term solution.
At the end of the show, they got ZPM's on both ends and can dial between Atlantis and Earth directly.
@@danielk5780 at the end of the show Atlantis is On Earth.
side note now the SGC has wraith bodies to research
Has any or all of the Stargate series' been redone in 4K? Id love to rewatch it
0:01 Milky Way Galaxy and 1:49 Pegasus Galaxy
Just think of it your in a puddle jumper and can look out and see the whole galaxy we live in our the window
Yeah, and without the Daedalus's deus ex machina drive to come save you, you'd spend the rest of your natural life in that Jumper no matter how fast you were going in Home's direction.
Actually, most of the universe is empty space, so you would see much.
I have to imagine a real life Midway Station would mean a lot of staring out the windows in awe.
@brummyuk It does humble you. It's enough to move one to tears, the sheer beauty of the enormity of it.
Ronin helped the ioa not be lunch
That was a Star Trek like flyby
I don't remember if they built another Midway. If they did, all they would have to do to prevent that again is require GDOs.
cant, the way this system worked was you went from say Atlantis to a gate at the farthest edge of pegasus which then was tweaked to automatically forward you onto midway whereupon your checked out/quarantined before being sent to sgc via another gate in the milky way programmed to auto forward you to sgc. the wraith found the last gate and slipped into the system to not need the forwarding system to get to midway then just went on to earth.
While it's never said, I feel like it would be dumb not to build another one. Remember it's not just the Midway, there's two whole chains of gates they had to collect and deposit in between the galaxies, and that's still there. Would feel like a waste to just abandon the project.
I always assumed the project was probably put on hold until the wraith problem was more under control. Sure you can better secure Midway itself, but stopping the wraith from constantly messing with the Pegasus side gates 24/7 would just be a waste of resources until a permanent solution is found.
They made a point of that flaw in the introduction for this episode by editing a recap of McKay explaining the intergalactic bridge works and added that there is "no need for a shield or an iris". However with Atlantis on Earth, I doubt a 2nd Midway would be built, even if construction was started.
I never understood what the wraiths plan was. Get out of the SGC and then what? take over the world with a few dozen wraith?
Send a signal and show the Wraith the location of Earth.
How? pegasus is out of range via subspace signal? And even if they could, how would they reach earth with their slow hyperdrives?
plotdrives u mean
Take control of SGC and Midway then signal signal from Midway to the other Wraith start shipping through everything they need including the ability to produce Hive Ships and the like probably
better plan...fake a signal and give away the ori galaxy. let the wrait and ori fight each other
He looked so buff back then.
Now you see him Aquaman buff and Atlantis Jason just looks like every other skinny twig guy thats a little bit fit on the show.
where did they go to the bathroom? lol
i have wounder that sense this episode first aired
I think they were using one of those cases. Either that or they had lots of empty drinking bottles
@@animemanXLK An amazingly well-supplied puddle jumper to have enough food for 6 guys to last at least a week.
It must have facilities, probably just never shown.
Crap into the rear compartment, get to the front, seal the cockpit and then open the aft hatch into space. And hope the next Ancient warship speeding through the void between galaxies has working windscreen wipers.
The Wraith commander should've escaped and taken Kavanagh with him to convert him into a Wraith worshiper.
Why you guys in comments write Ronan, when its Ronon? :D
Sealed himself inside yet opens the door from outside?!
rorna was a dick to that one guy he did nothing wrong and yet he was verbally beat up shunned for nothing
You need to watch the show mate
Episode pls
Kavanagh only saving grace, he liked Pearl Harbor.
