This episode will probably be about mitchell co operating with Micheal to stop the ships from getting to earth.  So far this is looking better than SG1.  The wraith do no trust micheal any more and now he is helping mitchell.

Well, this one was OK, but I'm not putting a whole lot of praise on it.  Raise your hand if you knew Michael was going to turn sides again.  Yeah, pretty much everyone thought so.  Weir is now on Earth, and the problem is we have no timeline to determine when these events took place in relation to the events of SG-1!  Is it before or after the Ori attack?  That is an unacceptable loophole for me. 

It wasn't necessary to destroy the Orion.  Earth, whether we as fans want to admit it or not, needs ships and ours keep getting blown out of space!  Even the Daedalus is out-of-commision now!  While I don't necessarily believe it's permanently damaged, I'm getting a little tired of the constant beating our ships are taking with little or nothing to show for it.  That's going to get as old in Atlantis as it will in SG-1. 

Ok, I like the idea behind deploying the gas to incapacitate the Wraith.  It looks like the POW camp they're going to develop for the "converted" Wraith will be an interesting subplot in it's own right.  Still, they've really got to come up with some other way to hand out a beating or the whole storyline for both shows will be very predictable and boring.

Whatever lol.  They are too much alike anyways.  Still i liked this episode a little better than SG1 and i feel the same for us losing our ships all the time now.  If russia and china really helped we could crank out a ship pretty fast since they have a massive labor force to use though the quality wouldnt be great.  Also great to know that drones can still kick ass in the pegeasus galaxy.

Omg. I can't believe that they went ahead and got the Orion blown up. We sure are loosing ships. I wounder if they will permanently commandeer that hive ship. The organic-based tech seams to have some advantages and their weapons are effective.

I wonder if the hive ship's weapons are energy based and how good their engines and power is.  Obviously it must be pretty good to be able to power really good shields around a VERY large ship as well as be able to provide life support for thousands of people which on earth ships can barely do 150 or so.

I really enjoyed this ep, i think it was a little better than the sg-1 ep aswell, personally i think the wraith are better enemies than the ori. Sure we knew that mikey was gonna turn sides again but i like the character and its good to see connor trineer back.

McKay had some great dialouge in this one too, when hes in the cocoon and considering all the possible ways he could die ( whats worse being fed on by a wraith or burning to death? LOL).

I'm really dissapointed at them for killin the Orion though, its not like they just stumble on ancient war ships every other week, to allow it to be destroyed seems pretty wasteful by the writers.

Overall i liked the ep, and the newly human wraith is a good set up for a short arc, and i hope to see michael back for more eps too.

Im pretty sure that they have shields but i guess if the ship is organic it may be able to heal itself but even then there is no way that with us hitting it's side with a nuke that it would survive very well and now that i think of it i know it does since they talk about it when Shepard is hiding on it on the hyperspace jump which it could only survive because of shields.

All our ships keep getting destroyed because they are so small. In the last episode of season 2, it shows the size of the Daedalus compared to the wraith Hive ship. Just before they get attacked after coming out of hyperspace. The Daedalus is so small it fits in the opening of the Hive ship. In a fair fight, its like a BB gun verses a locomotive.

Ehh..I don't know about "easy", considering we did have the Orion and her drones, albeit briefly.  That and Sheppard's F-302, coupled with the intel from ol' Mikey, made it somewhat believable.  I will say, however, that I think these events were rather predictable, and it does take away from my enjoyment of the episode a bit.  It wasn't hard to figure out that Mikey was going to turn, and as such it made the rest of the episode pretty by-the-book.

NOOOOO! Stupid freaking storylines:evil:. I really liked the Orion. That sux. It looks way cooler than the Deadilus and it has awesome drones to boot.

It was a pretty good episode. Great space battles and I loved the Star Wars easter egg when he latched onto the hive ship.

Yeah. From the Empire strikes back. When the Millenium Falcon latches onto the back of the Star Destroyer. When Shepherd was asked about it he said "Yeah, I saw the movie."
