FORD It's strange not pulling any Gs. SHEPPARD Yeah. I kind of miss it. Although at this rate of acceleration we'd be dead by now. FORD Yeah? SHEPPARD Oh, yeah. Without inertial dampening, we'd be hit by so many Gs, our eyes would pop, the skin would pull away from our faces, our brains would squish up to the back of our skulls, and our internal organs would be crushed into these chairs. What about that sandwich?"

What shows casually throw them around? In Star Trek, things get shaky when they go offline.

@@TheFreeBro To paraphrase SFDebris: "'Inertial dampeners are offline' isn't something you should be saying with the tone of a casual aside. It should be more like 'MY FACE IS MELTING INTO THE WALL!'"

@@Jokie155 And entering hyperspace with inertia dampeners disabled would turn all of the inhabitants of the ship into a fine red mist XD

@@Volkaer I think that's what would happen if you tried to go that fast _without_ entering hyperspace.

Also works for putting out fires.

Hot towels. Slippers. A massage.

Remember that the ship wasn't fully functional thanks to damage/disuse; plus, it wasn't initialized by anyone with Alteran genes.

Shepherd has the Alteran gene. So should have activated radiation sensors the minute he sat in the chair.

After seeing Destiny, i find it kind of sad Atlantis never had an AI kind of city-self

Please! Goddammit!

If I remember right the travelers added the radiation shielding. I don't think they were tied into the ships systems.

@@sugarking12 Correct.

The ship shields failed badly. Partly repaired

all he needs to do is to set up self-destruct and full air vent for 5 minutes with periodic countdown refresh via mind-link with added security through plotting a course zig-zag through every single star nearby the intended road with alterations for close bypass done last moment on the way. Bonus points for raising a firewall to block any kind of non-mind-link connections into the system, including the most trivial ones. Kill me and one way or the other, we all die and the ship is lost for everyone forever, thanks for playing. If the ship allows it, then once she stands down with radiation, he can just decrease the oxygen levels on the whole ship except the bridge to some 10% for a few minutes, rendering everyone unconscious, grab a face mask and pick them one by one - if that can't be done, the less elegant way is to engage inertial dampening on bridge only and then just beat everyone down with set of sharp accelerations and decelerations. (Or just tell everyone that either they come to you and surrender or you just actually vent all the atmosphere outside of bridge out at once - or make a 100g maneuverer without inertial dampening outside the bridge, or Andromeda style increase a gravity on the whole ship outside the bridge to some comfy 10g. Or even about... 7-8g on the whole ship should do the job - Shepperd is trained fighter pilot, so he should be able to remain conscious under that pressure - the others are most likely not so it shuts them down pretty nasty fast.) Like seriously, if the ship can be fully operated through a mind link and you allow the one and only person on the ship capable the mind-link to access it, and if that person is willing to harm you or take you with xem, you are an idiot and it's game over for you (unless you are willing to take xem down with you, in which case you MIGHT get a chance to play it for a lose-lose draw, without any guarantees to achieve it unless you prepare it in advance.) Shepperd was all knowledgeable, competent and trained to know this from the very start and surely willing to go for it. Or if some mumbo-jumbo preventing him from any of this specific steps, find some fully efficient substitutions. This was simply a plot hole.

Context clues?

And they speak english. The one thing they never explained in stargate

Don't need to know the specific value of the variable to understand that _eleven times_ the force of tolerable gravity is going to be a handful.

@@BogeyTheBear Every other civilization does the same thing with time though, you do in fact need to understand that unit of measurement to know how long "2 days" is when the mysterious travelers are set to pay another visit... Our measurements of time are all based on earth's rotation and orbit around the sun so there's no way civilizations from other galaxies are going to understand things like "tomorrow" or "We'll come back in a week" or "a few minutes", not when they don't even know about earth or probably even our entire galaxies existence...

Or even F16

"Dampener" is correct.

@@Ragitsu It may very well be. I was just finding it funny that they use both!

@@bobblum5973 Many people say "alternate" when they truly mean "alternative".

And everyone in science fiction still says 'solar system' when they shouldn't.

​@@BogeyTheBearthat one bugs me too! It's star system, unless it's our own which is named after its star (Sol). (The explanation is for others; I'm pretty sure I don't need to tell you)

Or just make the ship lurch forward and backward a few more times beating everyone in the halls to death against the bulkheads.

HAHAHAAHAH... That is perfect.

The bounce of the hair, the sway in the walk, all say this is a correct assesment. And then Sheppard's stretched out waiting on the bed...

@@PiDsPagePrototypesNo convenient pizza delivery, however.
