SGU finished before its time, in my eyes the best series produced under the IP. I wish that there was more Stargate stuff around. I can already say that Roland Emmerich's impending reboot will not even come close to the original.

Josh Powell-Morris Yeah, SGU had much more human characters rather than just action heroes, and it really seemed like it was going somewhere before it ended

The problem is thas Stargate Universe hasn't reach its audience. This spin-off is kind of slow and too different from the other franchise. From my point of view, I stopped watching it during the first season to discover other series like Battlestar Galactica, Farscape and Firefly. Maybe I will give SGU another chance :)

It was slow going to begin with and I can see where people drew parallels to BSG but it is vastly different by season 2 and in a good way. SyFy axed it just as it was getting going.

Nexarius It just depends how much pressure it’s under. It’s limited by its power, and more bombardment means more power. If there was a limitless supply of ZPMs, it could work indefinitely. Under Wraith bombardment, it can last weeks. Under the pressure of the ocean, it can last thousands of years.

@@phil_the_cow I'm pretty sure that its in the lore and mentioned in Atlantis that under the ownership of the ancients the city took direct bombardment for around a year or more straight. Makes you wonder how many damn zpms they had stocked up, or how many would be needed. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe it was ever stated how long a fully charged set of zpms could maintain the shield, cause the cast were always working with ones near depletion

. SuperfatSCRUBLORD I’ve always wondered how the ancients made ZPMs. It’s never explained or said anything about, and the expedition is always hunting for them, despite having the ancient database with all the knowledge. Same thing with drones, it’s like they aren’t made but magically spring into existence.

@@phil_the_cow You know, come to think of it the Ancients were the only advanced race we know of across multiple galaxies that used a weapon system with finite ammunition. Part of me kinda believes there was a plant for making them on Atlantis at one point, because otherwise the year long siege doesn't make sense to me given how the wraith can dial in and lock down your gate. Oh and aren't the drones the only weapons system on Atlantis? The ships had energy weapons but i dont think Atlantis did? And the zpm thing always infuriated me, they explained what they were and how they held so much power, but not once do we get a hint as to their source. I was waiting for the episode where they'd find some kind of zpm factory to explain this, but it never happened.

@@phil_the_cow The ancients created the ZPMs by creating an artificial region of subspace time within them. Artificially utilising vacuum energy.

a little puddle jumper like this? Flight... this is.... Puddle jumper go for launch....

Uh, this is flight. I thought we're going with gateship?

Negative Flight.

It's a ship that builds and deploys gates. It's a gate ship.

Don't forget the one they used to make the "Stun bubble!"

I miss it as well!

Y'know, the Nox had a city ship too-

​@@AenVegraWe don't know that the Nox's big invisible floating cities were actually space worthy. They most likely were just giant floating and sometimes invisible cities. Ment to stay within the atmosphere of a planet. Impressive to be sure, but not as impressive as the ancients city-ships. Unless you know somthing about the Nox's floating cities that I don't? Or are you just guessing? About them able to travel through space?

​@@TheTyler211995 Nox were the ones that said 'hey, we're *not* going to fix your problem' when dealing with the 'knocking Helios out of orbit' problem. That the asgard and furlings got themselves into. And the Ancients already self-yeeted by that point. also, one more thing. I want more book-accurate city-ships. Yes, yes, the ones like Adaris or whatever that just fuckin MOVED THE MOON IT WAS ANCHORED TO WHEN IT FIRED ITS STARDRIVE This, this is what we need more of, not 'waaa no flying cities'.

I agree, I would love to explore it as they do. I’ll bet there is so much more they would find.

YES Atlantis was my favorite stargate series loved the whole exploring a new galaxy seeing the clean , futuristic aesthetic cyberpunk ocean feel to the city on a ocean planet, and the puddle jumpers were cool to see loved of to fly one of those on a mission and kick wraith ass , felt like cool adventure lol 😎

Indeed! Would love to walk around and check out every nook and cranny! They could learn so much with a new series on this.

Hello Would you consider the CR90 Corvette from star wars?

Hello there could you make a video on the Sovereign Class Super Star Destroyer please.

If you haven't already covered them, Destiny, and/or an Ancient Seed Ship.

Andromeda Ascendant in future video?

blake 7's liberator?

I don't think ZPM's were ever .ass produced, I think I even recall Rodney saying that making a ZPM was likely expensive and difficult even for the ancients, and that they were likely made as needed.

@@theyankeeravenclaw after the war there was one room left that the atlantis screw didnt open yet. when opened, they discovered 500 ZPMs. XD

@@randomrazr Source?

They should have easily been able to find ZPM production by looking at the label for the ZPM room and searching for what the Lantians called it. Found where the lab was, but had the skills and knowledge be way over Rodneys and Dr. Zs head.

@@randomrazr i have a feeling this source was non canon you are getting this from. Otherwise they would of detected the zpms with their constant scans of Atlantis. i have read all the books that take place after season 5 and there is no scene where they come across that. In fact they are still struggling with finding more. The writers constantly had to drain those zpms at atlantis to prevent the expedition from getting to powerful. Its one reason why we never hear about them taking the blueprints from the atlantis database and trying to build their own. since having a powerful power supply would not only be great for them to have but also for that tech to used back home on earth. Heck they should of been able to build a Asgard power generator by now since they got all their tech or at the very least the gouald power source since they have actual allies in the tok ra and plenty of captured ships they could use to study.

No, destiny holds that title

@Gordz Destiny is amazing ship as well but city ship concept is so much more than just a ship. You can deploy that amazing hi tech city wherever you need. Especially cool for occupation or embassy.

The ancient race is 50 Million years old. Atlantis is just pretty new.

Millions of years in the first episode was referring to the departure of the Ancients from Earth (and Milky-way galaxy in general). The Ancients lost the war with the Wraiths and left Atlantis and Pegasus galaxy "only" 10000 years ago. This is the hystory line used in Stargate universe

I don't think it was a spaceship, "just" a floating city.

Has it ever been more than shown once or twice?

Dominik Lehn no, it was only ever shown briefly at the end of one episode.

@@plexx365 to be fair if you can make your city levitate permanently you can probably also send it into space and I would assume that they do posses both shields (or are at the very least capable of building airtight doors) and hyperdrives (if not of their own creation they probably got one from either the ancients or the Asgard)

@@victorselve8349 Also I guess the thing they showed to the humans was just a small outpost. If they are as smart as they are portraied to be then they wouldnt show the location of their actual city to some random humans even if the humans seem nice enough.

I love the Gatlantian fortress in Yamato 2202. It was bigger than Saturn and could withstand a barrage from numerous wave motion guns.

Reminds me- Certian race of bug's I've been working with. They've got corvettes. They've got intercessors (basically battleships). And they've got hives. But the real great stuff is their massive Source Spheres. They serve as sources of energy for building new ships through matter-energy conversion, but also platforms to build cities upon and such. At a radius of 27 kilometers, and with organic superconducting hull armor-and quantum cooling-based heat-to-energy systems, they can take a lot of punishment, too.

Very true. Star Trek ships looks like a toys to me.

Any scifi universe eh? Pretty sure the culture would say its cute and laugh.

its literally a city, that can fly through space like nothing, and can use the wormhole jump thing(forgot what its name was) to basically instantly get into another galaxy. its drone weapon system is literally overpowered, and has a shield that can sustain probably any dmg, as long as it has enough energy, and if it would have been the ancients, the city would run with 3 zpm all the time. all the weaknesses that we seen from the show, was caused by the fact that it never really had even 1 fully charged zpm, and the city was designed to be run with 3. i have to agree, this spaceship is the pinnacle of all spaceships. ancient ships are really amazing.

mostly true but still adorably quaint for an empire that has mobile habitat rings 3 million kilometer across, the ability to tap parallel universes for power which the ancients and rodney failed rather badly at. not to mention the fact they consider both dyson spears and full on ring worlds common and have widespread access to post singularity AI and have evolved to point the ancients were when the ascended but decided not to because omnipotence is boring. so again claiming a space born city is the pinnacle of any scifi universes technology would result is laughable. the culture universe is also far from the only scifi property to have planet scale ships. so yes a space born city is adorable in comparison with the culture and Atlantis could fit in the storge bay of one of there larger first contact exploration ships. you also have doctor who and the tardis so again the ancients arent even close to claiming pinnacle of all scifi ship tech.

could you tell me what show/movie/whatever are you referring to? would be easier to talk like that. "mobile habitat rings 3 million kilometer across" thats literally the most pointless thing anyone could ever come up with. even if it exist in a show, the complications it shows are so retarded, its existence is like a the stonehenge: it looks cool, really amazing with the technology of past eras, but its completely pointless. does it have any explanation how is it able to exist? cause anything that big, if its not really thin, could collapse into a black hole, from the gravity and mass. just because you can build it, it doesnt mean its worth it. "the ability to tap parallel universes for power which the ancients and rodney failed rather badly at." that power in the show is not worth it for the danger it has, compared to the zpms, which works similarly tho with less energy, but can make unlimited amount. "they consider both dyson spears and full on ring worlds common" if they need dison spheres common, i guess the parallel universe power isnt that great, cause a zpm outperforms that, since the tampered zpm in 08x04 is said that the zpm could have destroyed the entire solar system. "you also have doctor who and the tardis" which part of the tardis are you talking about? the time travel? janus completed the research in that technology twice, since his research was destroyed the first time. are you talking about the space manipulation, where the ship is bigger on the inside than the outside? what would be the point of that? its definitely cool, but the fact is, neither of those are more advanced technology, or more practical. not even talking about the fact that the ancients made a lot of incredible things, in that city of theirs, and what other sci fi shows had for us to see? not much. most of the things were pretty much built for 1 thing, and were completely useless for other things, while atlantis is the most universally useful ship. waiting for your answer where are the things you were talking about from.

To be fair it is a city first, a ship second and a warship only as an afterthought

Atlantis flew without shields in season 3 only needing them to exit a planets atmosphere

I've always thought not having a Go'auld-Infected Wraith in Atlantis.

Why, do the goal'ud still use the "Egyptian gods sheme and style?" except Anubis, who accepted the knowledge that the ancients was above what they are.... Goal'ud are egomaniacs, they forelf believe in the sheme that depicts them as gods... God's don't fail, gods, are never inferior.... So why should any other technology be better? They are unable to adapt as long as they stuck in their believe of superiority, this is their greatest weakness. Also the wraith are on a different but comparable tech. It is not better, only different. So the goal'ud may even be right in the statement that they can not learn anything from wraith. Ships might be even inferior, they are not built but breeded and need to do hyperspace breaks to recover....

@@waynejuckts3008 "Why, do the goal'ud still use the "Egyptian gods sheme and style?" Because the Egyptian style is Goa'uld style. In the Stargate universe the ancient Egyptians got everything from the Goa'uld, not the other way around. The reverse is true for Asgard and Norse culture, the Asgard emulated Norse cultural styles in their interaction with primitive humans because they had primary contact with the Norse culture first

@@NATIK001 True but why did they never change... Develop, expa D where style.... If they had any development, we should have found some modernized, reformed goal'ud style as we meet them. A style that looks like let's say a hypermodern expanded and developed version of the "old" version we call Egyptian. A style that developed out of that, not a, style that is still equal. This is why I asked this question. Also did you see I used the question only as an opener and gave a answer in the following lines? I think you missed my point, even if your answer is correct in its own point.

That's a good idea.

YES!!

Ziffidel Would be awesome.

the ones that got recked by the asgard beam? oh i remmeber lol

@@klab3929 Sure, but until the Asgard gave us all their cool stuff, they kicked some serious ass. Remember the season 9 finale, Camelot? 4 Ori motherships vs 2 Daedalus class Earth ships, 1 Asgard Biliskner class [Edit] May have been an O'neill class ship, thinking about it. [Edit] , and, how many was it? 6 Ha'taks? And then 3 more ha'tak came in later with Teal'c. And in under 4 minutes, they destroyed the Korolev, crippled the Prometheus, obliterated all but 2 of the Ha'taks. And we didn't even take down one of them. Make no mistake, they were terrifying when they first showed up. "And those who are prideful and refuse to bow down, shall be laid low and made unto dust".

@Censorship is the last tool of tyrants I refused to watch SGU! They cancelled SGA for that, that......UGH! Don't remind me.....😠

I don’t remember SGA being cancelled? It seemed like it wrapped things up fairly well!

@@danielwhyatt3278 it was very clearly a rushed ending, and it left a lot of plot threads open. The Wraith serum/cure, Todd's overall fate (they let him live but beyond that the show doesn't explain), and the ongoing war with the Wraith that isn't wrapped up by the end. I've heard that the books that follow do a good job of clearing that all up but the show's end was pretty inconclusive.

@@ioanaberbece1994 SGU did get very good. They just nerfed the first year.

there was a show where Sheppard travelled into the future, where a hologram McKay helped him to come back. Wasn't this very far in the future where the sun already changed into a red giant?

@@larnregis That was only 48,000 years into the future

He also claimed in the Ancient's Exploration Ship "Destiny" video, that the ship had been operating continuously for 10's of millions of years before being found by the Tau'ri....

Shoto Todoroki That’s the thing...it was. Joseph Mallozzi stated that Atlantis was 30 million years old with the destiny being 50 million years old. josephmallozzi.com/2010/07/19/july-19-2010-masked-hits-the-streets-last-days-of-atlantis-mailbag/

@@rhysgarner8677 I think they are conflating "age" with "after the departure of its creators" here. Atlantis was built in Antarctica back on Earth when that was the Ancient home planet. Somewhere around 10-12 million years ago (IIRC) they left Earth during the Ancient plague and went to the Pegasus galaxy with the city at only partial capacity. I don't know if they've actually given a date for when Atlantis was actually built, but it had to have been at least 10-12 million years since that was when we are first aware they flew it.

I've heard a rumor that there might be a UN Ship in season two named after Jefferson Mays, the voice of the Expanse Audiobooks. (Great tribute) so that might give me some good footage to use in another Expanse vid. :D

Yeah there were a ton of city ships made and also normal cities with many lantern devices such as the energy shield in emege and the city ship on that moon in the books and the other ship in the void between galaxies while the plague was happening in the Milky Way the ancients told all the city ships to leave the galaxy and fly to different planets in pegasus it’s just Atlantis was the capital of this great empire

Logic dictates that yes that would be requirement for such a vessel of size and utility. My quess is that ether designer (story writer kough) was total moron who didnt think of this/they transported parts and ZPM's trough stargate produced in Atlantian worlds around their empire given no need to have them in board, or there is such factory on board, but its fully automated, hidden into construction of the ship out of sight and humans havent yet been able to locate it.. tearing into such construction as this takes time, specially when you barely understand "basic" startgate tech and factory probably is offline, or just damaged by something. If i recall right city didnt take hits, but it was not under warranty anymore when rediscovered, so even Atlantian tech could go down

It did have landing pads for large ships and the show did use them but writing for the show was poor was poor so it never went into that. If you look at the city it also looks like there are ports for seafaring vessels as well so if you didn't want to build ships for transporting everything you can use water barges
