Seems the good guys keep losing by giving the Ori and their allies chance to raise their shields. The Jaffa made that mistake at the start of this episode, it's implied the bomb would have worked if the Prior was not touching the gate, and in Ethon they lose Prometheus to the same mistake.
Season 9 is basically just that, they keep losing to this new enemy that uses very different methods and is far more technologically advanced than their old enemies.
This is my favourite scene from the later SG1 series. The idea is so cool: a prior from a far off galaxy arriving through an 8 chevron wormhole while it remains active behind him.
It _did_ prevent beaming. They beamed in during an expansion cycle which weakened the shield considerably-- enough for them to get through. It's also how they got back out-- the Jaffa weapons fire cause a premature expansion of the shield and they took the opportunity to beam out.
We have many of these mark IX but noboodu use it again after first explosion which it heading to vaporize stargate and shut down shield expansion. Im clever than Carter.
The mk IX has a 2000 gigaton yield... That's 2,000,000 megatons.... The largest bomb ever detonated on earth was 50 megatons and the shockwave circled the earth 3 times over... When describing what happened to that prior 'dropping a sun on him' doesn't begin to describe what would happen. Matter as we know it doesn't exist at those kind of temperatures. He became more than hot plasma, likely some kind of non-baryonic matter.
@@kg4boj I would assume that the shield not only protected that Stargate, but him as well - if he was vaporized, so would the stargate have. Without the stargate, the shield over the planet would have collapsed. Ultimately, when the planet had imploded into a black hole, he would've obviously died.
@@danielk5780 there would have been a surface level shield around the gate, so save energy and have a stronger surface overall. The prior would want to die as to him it would be accomplishing his mission so he could ascend with the Ori
The components for the supergate were enormous, how did they fit through the little gate, never got what the prior did when he put his hand on the gate, b4 he blew up 😂
You mean they are equivalent to the size of a shuttle and a shuttle is obviously bigger than the gate. Yeah I remember scratching my head watching this episode years ago
@@doords yes we see the size of the gate compared to the earth ships in episodes, when the supergate piece damages the shields of Permethius, you see the size of it, the prior somehow made the gate bigger is all I can think of
one reason people suggest is that the supergate shown in this episode is actually smaller than the one they sent ships through, in that case they must've made a second, smaller supergate to create the one they sent ships through; the relative sizes do actually match this theory. however, the SGC is never worried nor cares about any second smaller gate in season 10- only the 'big one', which makes it a bit unconvincing. chances are, the producers just didn't think the sizing through- it wouldn't be the first time this happened.
Kudos to the actor playing the Prior. He was on Stargate Universe and his character was totally unhinged.
The Prior is much calmer.
He played one of the Marines, right? The one that ran out of what must have been anti-depression meds and started spiraling out of control?
@@danieljackson1272 No, he played Dannet, the Lucian Alliance guy that tried to take control after Keeva was shot by Telford
The two SIDE-BY-SIDE keys are hilarious on the nuke.

i like that "big nuke" didnt work
It would be funny if suddenly the shield prevents beaming.

You have seen a "Prior" with red evil eyes ? :D
I just want to know how the Prior turned the pages of his book.
With his mind.
He don't. He just meditate the same passage over and over again.

Stargate logic, powerful warheads cant damage shields of ships but laser beams can
Why the full space suits? Fireman style breathing apparatus should have been sufficient. Also does the prior survive? Doesn't seem likely.
Better safe than sorry?

The suits are just in case. They didn’t know what it was like down there specifically - so wanted to be safe.
Also yeah, the prior was vaporised.

I think the Ori tech was way advance so the pieces were compact and then extended

The ori is my favorite characters from the Stargate series but I think the ori is not the bad guys
is this a bot???
@@Hassassin119 No it's just a Prior.
@@eightw5783 true
30 minutes ? Ummm why not 30 seconds ?
if I recall they had to beam between expansions of the shield.
I always wondered why he touched the stargate
He's probably providing Ori power to the Gate.
The nuke is a "gate buster" - it destroys stargates. He somehow managed to prevent this by touching it and using his super Ori powers.
Movie. RUclips.
