daedelus jumped before the nuke went off, not after. they (atlantis) dropped the shields for a moment to allow daedelus to leave and then brought them back up just to prevent the nuked from damaging the city. then they went cloak as soon as the heat from the fallout died right away (which is wierd cause the air wouldnt had cooled so damned fast), and the fall out alone would still FUBAR the surrounding areas wouldnt it?!

No matter how you look at it, it was a stupid plan that shouldn't have worked.

as opposed to most stargate plans?

Oh like blowing up a sun with the Stargate, and stealing oh so many ships, and so on and so forth.

I haven't seen what happens but every Stargate climax involves something that has almost no chance of happening with rediculous odds and they still pull it off.

Its how the show works...you expect it to be slightly over the top because it tries not to take itself too seriously (or we'd be back with Enterprise again).

I always thought it was funny where it has Richard Dean Anderson as the lead character in SG-1 and they always seem to pull of a Macgyver.

I'm not talking about the silly technobabble-based solutions. This was actually a pretty simple plan, that absolutely relied on the Wraith reacting in a very stupid, very atypical way.

I think the writers finally realized they'd written themselves into a corner with the Wraith threat, and this was the best thing they could pull out of their ass to get them out of the picture ASAP.

Now we just have that half-Wraith idiot running around. Never did like that guy.
