@@Arthus850 I was not aware there was one called infinity but i watched origins and to me it was infinitely better than the angst-fest that was universe.
@@Arthus850 The only good thing in Universe was Robert Carlyle...but unfortunately have an A-list actor next to a bunch of pathetic drama club dropouts just makes those dropouts look even worse when they are on screen with him. The show was a cringe-fest whenever it was anything other than Rush by himself.
I love Teal'c's reaction to Ronon's pulse magnum. Kind of like Col. Sheppard's: "I prefer this." (Proceeds to blow the entire ring out of a paper target while John is demonstrating Terran weapons) Sheppard, looking at the MASSIVE hole in the target: "I can see why you would....."
O'Neill: "This is a weapon of terror. It's made to intimidate the enemy. THIS is a weapon of war. It's made to KILL the enemy". Ronon: "I just blow up my enemies."
@@jeremybk54 I would chose the zat gun. Imagine how many idjits you can make to just disappear. No body's to hide. Just zap them 3 times and problem is solved.
I never understood why they didnt deliver Zats to atlantis. After all they dont rely on ammo and are evidently effective. But they had to use captured wraith guns instead, because its a different show.
To Teal'c it must be like the equivalent of a staff weapon in pistol form. Love how he just takes apart that drone hand to hand without breaking a sweat.
Teal'c: "indeed". Ronan: "you say that word a lot" Teal'c: "what? Do I? I had not noticed" I just about died of laughter from this exchange between these two lol
These two are my literal favorite characters of all time Teal'c is and always will be a reassuring father figure to me, he looks like he gives the best, warmest hug if u ever feel down Ronon,,,,, WELL he's hot af :x
Nah man the particle magnums are way cooler in my opinion. Pack more of a punch too. Still to answer the original question, i think its along the lines as to why the Asgudians didn't share heir weapons; don't give away anything that could be used against you. Even amount allies.
Let just take a second to note that those wraith had just fed and would have been at full strength. A Zat took them down in one shot and Teal'c overpowered one and snapped it's neck.
I don't think they all fed, probably one or two of the weaker ones who needed too or the older ones who had the "right". they were probably more focused on securing the base as a beachhead since only one or two soldiers were fed on I believe.
The Wraith were slowly but surely nerfed as the series goes on. The first season Wraith were my favorite villains in all of Stargate, being predatory insect vampires IN SPACE. One wraith could be a genuine threat for the whole team for an entire episode. But then they sort of became cheapened as the show went on, turning a lot of wraith into generic grunts for actions scenes. Even their stun weapons became inconsistent. It's disappointing, and is a symbol of how the show's quality began to fade as the seasons went on (I still love all five seasons, but seasons 4 and 5 weren't AS great as the first 3).
@@AmericanZergling they did the same thing with the Goa’uld in SG-1. Think how powerful and hard to kill they are in the first season. Ra in the original film is even more powerful than that. Then they made the Tok’ra weaker than Jaffa even though they are technically the same species as Goa’uld. It’s supposed to show that humans are improving, and thus they seem less impressive, but given that for most of the run the SG teams don’t even use the (significantly) more powerful alien weapons much other than Zats and don’t substantially change their tactics except for in special episodes, I don’t really see how they improve lol. Great shows, but flawed. I prefer the film overall.
@@EzraYalanBenjamin My thoughts towards the Goa'uld is that they had a serious budget limitation. Like, they started incorporating Middle-Eastern, East Asian, European, and Sub-Saharan deities as the show went on, but everyone's still rocking that Egyptian look for 4,000 years. I feel like the creators would have totally created more new props if they could, but they were limited by how much they could realistically afford.
@@AmericanZergling that’s certainly true, regrettably- but it’s not per se an excuse to drastically reduce their power. Hell, if they’d kept it so that Goa’uld abilities (like in the film) are innate rather than technological, they’d have saved money on hand and healing device props. But the budget certainly reduced what they could do with them.
I liked this episode, stargate sg-1 and stargate atlantis were very good series. Atlantis showed what a spinoff series should be like. Unlike the one stargate series that didint really seem to stargate like
For Every Fan of SG1 and SGA Like Myself Wanting an Episode with Teal'c and Ronon in Some Kind of Team Up 🥰 This Episode Was 110% Perfection, Teal'c Will Always be My Favourite, but Ronon Dex is Up There With Teal'c, Jack, Sam and Daniel 🇺🇸🫡🇦🇺 I'll Never Get Bored of Stargate 😆 Even SGU Was Interesting Lol
This sequence ends so funny when a Wraith tries to feed on Teal'c and Ronon saves him at the last moment. Teal'c: "Good timing" Ronon: " Indeed." It's episodes like this that made SGA a masterpiece for me.
No. This was a problem with jaffas also. They were standing there in every fight and just pointing staff weapons. When they shot with it they mostly missed. And goa'ulds trained jaffas since they were children and continued training all the time. This is just bad writing. Makes no sense.
MultiJejje It is the same issue with the Storm Troopers from Star Wars. If they were depicted as being so accurate all the time, the story would be impossible to progress as the soldiers would be too efficient. It is called a plot shield.
O'Neill mentions that when he offers ballistic weapons to the jaffa resistance. The Jaffas are trained to fight like old musket infantry, their weapons are powerful but innacurate.
Ronin, getting beat. Teal'c just shooting the place up. Ronin, getting beat still. Teal'c, "he dropped his gun. I should try it." Ronin, getting his butt handed to him. Teal'c, "maybe I will". Ronin still getting beat. Teal'c, picks up gun and shoots Ronin's attacker... It must be bad ass to be teal'c.
Elitepear All that means is they'd just keep fighting until exhaustion takes them. Besides, after an hour of fighting, even if Ronon lost the fight you can hardly call him Teal'c's prison bitch, now can you? :P
I would bet Ronon wins. He survived years as a runner from the Wraith and was a trained soldier before, even Tal`c can´t keep up with so much training.
alright so this video shows that Teal'c would have beat Ronon in a one on one fight, the scene where they had been sparing for an hour without break for it to end in a draw shows Teal'c was holding back. Dude just wasted a squad while Ronon struggled with one.
Ronan rushed in either falling for a trap or just being careless, rather then being straight up overpowered, but that is itself also an example of why Tealc is a better soldier and would win in a real battle.
The Zat is still the coolest weapon ever in the SG universe. Almost unlimited ammo and it has three options (including the invisibility option shown in the early episodes... I believe it was used on the hatak of Apophis once)
Joseph Nine months late I know but in an interview Rachael Luttral said she didn't have the presence of mind to grab any props when the show wrapped, unlike Jason who had a huge bag and stuffed it with anything he could get hold of so I think it's a safe bet he has that blaster to this very day. He even took the back of her chair with her name on it!!
Interesting that a Wraith can take multiple bullets to the chest and keep fighting, but a single Zat still knocks them out. Never realized that before.
@@ff3player True, but in this scene it's safe to assume that the wraith were well fed. Teal'c and Ronon found many bodies that had been drained, and the wraith soldiers would also have eaten before going on the mission to ensure they were at full strength.
Do you want he gun that can shoot holes in things or the one that was supposed to vaporise things instantly. Oh wait... they dropped that last part pretty quick.
Honestly teal'c should of double tapped them or how many it takes to vaporize.. and normally theres several Sg teams on base and 2 bad asses have to save the day?
It takes three shots from that gun to vaporize a body. You raise a good point about the other SG teams' ability to defend the base. With their training, experience, and weaponry, they probably could have put up a better fight.
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TEALIQU OR WHAT EVER WAS JAFA HIS WHOLE LIFE AND ONLY BROKE RESPECT FOR SG1 IR RONAN IS TO INGORANT TEALIQU WOULD NOT HAVE ACTED SO PRAISED UPON A WEAPON
