Vegas

Police find a desiccated corpse on a desert road outside Las Vegas, Nevada, the seventh victim of a bizarre serial killer. Detective John Sheppard, called in to assist, is baffled by these murders. Then a clue, traces of radiation found on the bodies, leads him to a strange looking man with super human attributes who easily evades capture.

Some time later, Sheppard is detained and driven to Area 51. There he meets Dr. Rodney McKay who reveals that the suspect is, in fact, an alien -- a Wraith -- who feeds on human energy. What's more, McKay and his team have traveled to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy, by way of a Stargate, to prevent this Wraith from compromising the security of the planet. But so far, Sheppard is the only one who's been able to get close to him.

Enemy at the Gate

Todd contacts Atlantis and reveals that a Wraith subordinate has managed to acquire several Zero Point Modules that he has used to power a formidable new hive ship. He urges Woolsey to attack and destroy before it becomes a threat to Atlantis.

On board the Daedalus, Colonel Caldwell, Colonel Sheppard and the rest of the team, rush to engage the new hive ship. But the Z.P.M. powered vessel proves itself an impressive opponent, crippling the Daedalus before making a sudden and inexplicable jump into hyperspace.

Puzzled over the Wraith's sudden departure, the team picks up a weak subspace signal in Wraith code. McKay is quick to recognize that the communique was sent, through subspace, from another reality. Once deciphered, their worst fears are realized. The Wraith message contains a familiar set of coordinates. The hive ship is on its way to Earth!

IF the Vegas storyline (one would assume an AR version of Earth) is connected to the Enemy at the Gate episode (the warning from another reality), it would be extremely cool.

Ignoring the rehashed from SG-1 + over-excessive use of alternate realities that is.

But Vegas is now making a lot more sense if they are connected, and EATG does sound quite cool, in an epic sort of way. Should have been a two parter though.

And as usual, they could totally screw both up, but for now I'm at least cautiously optimistic. :shifty:
 
Does sound good, both of them, I also hope they are connected. Though, what if it was that mysterious race of "Borg-Wraith" from that alternate reality who are the ones contacting them? That could also be cool IMO.

Kinda surprised though this is the first time the Wraith have found a ZPM, in 10,000 years they never TRIED to acquire any?

I wonder if the Deddy will be powered by a ZPM in this episode, from what it sounds, probably not.

They took three ZPM away from the Replicators in Be All My Sins Remember'd. So I do think they've thought of it in the past but they used them to power their cloning centers rather than their Hive ships.
 
They are connected. Which I found rather contrived in a "we have two episodes left and just found out the show's been cancelled, how are we going to wrap things up?" kind of way. But this is Atlantis. Just wait until you find out who dies.

And the show does point out that ZMPs are pretty hard to come by so the Wraith probably didn't think to use them for anything besides clonng machine.

You really, really, didn't need to mention that last bit :rolleyes::scream: Even if you didn't say a name.

Anyway, as to your first point. I'd rather that, than another 'Unending'. *shudder*

In Spoils Of War Todd said that they didn't use the facilities in their war against the Replicators because they couldn't power it.

My question was, did they specifically say they used ZPMs to power their cloning centres.

Actually they did, Todd also mention that they got their hands on the 3 ZPMs during the war with the Ancients overtime by basically taking advantage of their arrogence.
 
What if the alternate dimension in these two episodes is in fact the same Dimension that the Daedalus (in The Daedalus Variations) came from?
What if that 'dimension' is further ahead timewise than other dimensions and in that Dimension they've reached a point where they are messing with inter-dimensional travel/communication.
Perhaps the wraith in that Dimension have aquired the same tech that that Daedalus class ship had.

Regular wraith please. Never thought I'd say that
