Season 1: Holy shit, there are ha'taks in orbit!!! Evacuate to our off-world site, the end is nigh! Season 10: Oh, there are ha'taks in orbit. Hey Odyssey, do you have a second to spare?
are you kidding? by season 10 ha'taks were almost destroying themselves! Season 10: sir, we have registered a 2 degree increase in ambient temperature a few hundred kilometers from the fleet of hataks. probably just some normal solar activity. *entire fleet explodes and the rain of debris impacts earth which creates a crater uncovering another ancient superweapon*
Season 1 we had Cold War tech. Season 10 we were (at least potentially, keeping everything from the public made no since by that point) at Asurion levels.
The biggest problem with the Goa'Uld was that while they have advanced technology, their entire organisation was essentially based on a primitive society. Thusm as soon as their technological advantage became smaller, they were doomed, because they were unprepared to fight an equal enemy.
I may not be a brilliant military tactician, but it would seem that a simple yet effective improvement to this strategy just might be to launch more missiles.
It would of been a very American move for the next thing would go from launching two high tech missiles to every missile the US had, Also a scene of the President picking up the phone with the camera panning out, where you hear, " I know it is hard to believe but their are hostile alien ships in orbit I need you to launch all your Nukes at them."
@SG14ever The missiles were destroyed by the energy shield on impact, surrounding the goa'uld motherships. Thats what I see. If aliens really are technically advanced, it shows how useless earth weapons are against an attack. But then we would of been wiped out by now, if that were the case anyway. ;) Lol
@Jesus Supreme Exactly, as much as the human race likes to think we are advanced, we are very primitive and as for the Goa'uld, they are primitive compared to the Ori, it's just a different state of technological development.
This is a mater of relative tech level. Humans during that Season were "barely space age". ICBM's with Naquadah warheads and shuttles is "it". There is a reason they spend so much resources trying to get power generators and FTL capable ships. And after the F-301 debacle, they knew they had to build them from scratch. Goa'uld have been interstellar powers for milennia. Above them were the Asgard. Even old designs like the Beliskner could defeat small fleets. Only Anubis could even claim to be on par with the Asgard. And the Ori are on a tech level comparable to the late ancients, wich is way above the Asgard.
the weapons impacted the shields before detonating. you would have to program the warhead to detonate before impacting, however nukes arnt very powerful in space. because there is no atmosphere to contain the explosion to a region of space.
***** Note quite. Read NASA's opinion here: history.nasa.gov/conghand/nuclear.htm Without atmosphere there is NO blast wave, NO thermal radiation. Nuclear radiation does travel much further, though.
***** what makes nuke powerful in atmosphere, because the atmosphere pressure contains and concentrates the detonation in a specific area, and amplifies it, but in empty space, all the energy would be released in every direction, instead of one specific volume.
Nukes do work in space, the effect is different though. There is no thermobaric pressure wave but you still get the core of the explosion, a small brief star with all the temperatures and pressures you get at the centre of the sun with an intense release of electromagnetic radiation like intense infra-red waves. True they would not affect an area of many or even tens of Kilometres the way they do in an atmosphere but right up against the shields or hull of a ship? They would *hurt*, unless the impacted object could survive exposure to the temperatures and pressures within a star for the same amount of time the fusion processes within such a warhead take its going to take damage.
I remember this scene and the fact that they claimed that each missile had a power of 1200 megatons because it was enriched in Naquada. But the ridiculous explosion implied that either the missiles had been prematurely destroyed in contact with the shields, or they did not know what 1200 megatons of power really was. x)
Eh. The fireball you expect comes from superheated atmosphere. Obviously that can't happen in space, so the only visible flames have to come from the vaporized matter of the missile in space. That tiny poof is actually not that unrealistic even if the warheads detonated. (Now, suborbital ICBMs not only having enough DV to reach GEO with a very inefficient straight-up ascent profile, but get there in just a couple of minutes... That's a little more ridiculous.)
Yes, the effect is not the same, but we have some videos of nuclear tests in space and even if these irl warheads have a much reduced power, the effect is still much more credible and lasts longer, unless the video is broadcast in slow motion.
@@GrandSachemEthylique The nukes detonated. If they has just been destroyed by the shields the ships would never have felt an impact. It's simply down to CGI. Those shields tanked a gigaton each.
Most likely nuclear missiles but to try and defeat that mother ship, it would have to be pretty powerful. It failed though, as our technology was inferior.
They were standard nukes enhanced with Naquedah. Air Force didn’t know about the shields. The dialogue implies that if the nukes had actually hit the ships, they would’ve been blown to smithereens.
Absolutely. Fat Man and Little Boy (16 and 21 kilotons) were small potatoes to the W87 warheads we have now (475 kilotons), of which the Minuteman-III (the current ICBM in-use by the United States) carries 12. What we saw launched would have been either Minuteman-IIIs or LGM-118 Peacekeepers. Curious why they didn't show multiple warheads impacting the shields though. Less cinematic, perhaps.
@MrFurling Would've seemed more impressive if the weapons exploded and engulfed the entire ships, which turned out to be just fine. Bonus points for not even using shields. :P
I always like to imagine that had more to do with the Jaffa leaving him for other System Lords, because to be taken down by the Tau'ri was not like when their "gods" beat other "gods." It was basically mortals getting the upper hand on their pantheon.
Gravity does not involve magnetism. The planets are large masses of matter in the solar system, and as such are gravitating around the sun, the largest mass in the vicinity.
You can't really say there is no such thing, as a Stargate. Maybe not in the way it's portrayed in the show but it could be possible. The planets are magnetic connect to the sun, so it could work that way. Many other ways as well but I'm not to up on all that. Most of this would be kept secret from the public. We would have to find out ourselves. :)
I love in movies they are Always a officer or a general to ask others nuclear weapons save our ass don't worry and the others said - no trust me, i don't think so sir it's a big asteroid or a aliens ship with advance technology ! and in the end the pro nuclear weapons officer was humiliated🤣🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦
they actually simulated that a thunder well would go through a energy shield, a thunder well is a well with thoasands of sharp metal discs that are launched into space by a underground nuclear blast
Hey Klorox, fabulous dress and the makeup is to die for but honestly honey the hair is a mess and who chose the jewelry. Talk about over accessorizing..
Great science fiction!, but please treat it as such. there is no such thing as a star-gate. and guard your mind from some of the predictive programming this series attempts to do. Prodictive programing is defined as: Things or ideas which would otherwise be seen as bizarre, vulgar, undesirable or impossible are inserted into films in the realm of fantasy. When the viewer watches these films, his/her mind is left open to suggestion and the conditioning process begins.
These nukes should have taken out the Goa'uld ships .. They pack a lot more punch than the energy weapons of these starships .. But it was a plot tool they used for the story .. One of the tech continuity issues of stargate and like other sci-fi series
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 The shields stopped them from damaging the ship. The shields did exactly what they're designed to do. Travel between the stars requires protection. They didn't take into account that the ships most likely will have shields.
