The shield was absorbing tons of energy with every pulse. The fireball was trying to expand, it hits the shield and is reflected back towards the center until the pressure once again reverses the direction and sends it towards the shield once more. This keeps happening over and over as a series of high-frequency pulses and the shield is absorbing energy with each new hit.

Everything about this scene is perfect! They succesfully built a great atmosphere of fear mixed with enthusiasm, everyone is being very objective and quick to act, Radek is being awesome in Rodney's absence, Sheppard is showing his unexpect smarts, as we've grown accostumed to see, and finally, the animations of the gate, the city shield collapsing around it and the explosion seen from outside, outstanding! The greatest sci-fi series of all time!

I remember seeing this when it aired where I am. I also remember thinking, if they have such precise control of the Atlantis shield emitters, simply dial down the outward-facing ones, and allow the energy to bleed off on a somewhat directed manner. There was a large window behind the gate which you see in the outside shot. As long as there were no city structures in the way, all good. Worst-case, it might have capsized Atlantis, or they could have at least done zoomies around on the ocean surface with the city.

One of my favorite episodes! And a cliffhanger!!

I know its a small point, but I really wish shows like Voyager (where the ship is stranded without a drydock to repair when extremely damaged), and Atlantis (where presumably the city is made of materials that are not reproducable by the humans living there) would tell how they repair significant damage for the next episode. I know in the episode with the replicators when Shepard blew up the control room, the tower is repaired by the Replicators, but when they are left to it themselves, I am curious how they (would) do it.

Compare that to SG1 where all the scientists, that aren't Carter, are made to look like a bunch of imbeciles that are so bad at their supposed 'expertise' that they could barely pass a high school AP physics exam. Its sad when you see writers having to resort to making some characters incompetent just to try and make others look good. In the end it makes Rodney look more impressive than Carter because he's the most intelligent person among a lot of intelligent people, whereas Carter is almost always shown as only being smarter than a bunch of idiots. They even made Rodney look stupid when he first showed up in the franchise on SG1. Thankfully when they made SGA they saw the potential his character had and brought him onto the show where we got to see him actually being the genius he was always supposed to be.

They've expanded and contracted the shield a number of times, there's no reason at all it couldn't function that small A sustained strain isn't the shields weakness, you're talking about the sustained beam from the replicators, that wasn't bad because the shield was specifically weak to it, just that it's harder for anything to protect against

Episode 1, of Stargate Atlantis.

You would think that they might have some sort of Asgard beaming devise on the gate for just such an emergency. Beam it as far away as possible.

Say what you will.. Radek is a genius ~!

Could you imagine if we got s6 ? They had holy grail back on earth... All that power and knowledge....

I love how they contain the energy of thousands of nuclear explosions on a 2007 laptop.

If you double the diameter of the shield, you increase the surface area of the shield by 4, but the volume of the sphere increases by 8. And since pressure is a factor of volume, that would reduce the energy required by the shield by half. All they had to do was let the shield expand a bit, and they could have contained the explosion no problem. Also, if all else failed, why not let the explosion vent in a controlled manner in a safe direction?

Where can i watch this series in order?

Stargate Atlantis - Season: 5 Episode :10

Man took, an explosion that could take out a small continent to "you can survive being in the same room as it, albeit with extreme, instant medical care

@Xershade but the yield of the blast would have been directed out the window, the shield would have created a kicker to point it out the back, the shield would hold because it's only containing a part of the explosion, think like a linear shaped charge for demolition, directed energy,

@DavidPennable The tower is in the center of the city. Firing it out the window will nuke the city behind it.

That quality though.

The end of the episode based sci-fi genre. I miss Old Stargate, old Trek, with episode-based adventure, and a very light story ark. Now we got super short arc-based series. I like them but since SG:A I can't remember any good sci-fi like this. SG:U not exist for me. Maybe the Orville.

SG:U also felt bad at the time, but compared to everything else when watched 10 years later it's actually quite good... if you liked BSG. (many people had the same think with ENT) Instead of more "dark" series that came afterwards, I feel that SG:U mas modeled after BSG, and sure it's not the TNG but still.

When the Sci-Fi channel was good. I miss it.

See, what they _should_ have done was open a hole in the back of the shield, the side facing away from the gate room, and allowed the pressure to shoot out through the hole. That would have greatly limited the damage while also reducing the amount of pressure on the shield. This would have let the shield last for the duration of the explosion.

Wait, so where does all that heat go? Shouldn’t the room be like a blast furnace by now?

Shield: OM NOM NOM NOM. Like literally nothing can penetrate the Atlantis shield. Best you can do is fire enough force into it and hope the idiots behind it don't have an unlimited supply of ZPMs to maintain its power consumption.

Wouldnt they all be blind regardless if they didnt look directly into it. I know survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan were blinded by the flash and this should be several 1000x more powerful

The shield would block it, because that's dangerous levels of energy. A shield that can't block heat, radiation, and blinding levels of light, would be a pretty useless shield.

well they are the city's defensive shields which are designed to take bombardments by weapons far more powerful than a nuke.

They should have reversed the polarity. This always works.

When simply, if they could move the city shield like that, why not just move it outside, or let a little hole vent the explosion out the window?

I don't see how that would have been possible; you're talking about two completely different types of energy - plus, the city shield emitters were never designed to take power from anywhere else EXCEPT the city itself; so, unless you think Radek can completely rebuild and reprogram the shield emitters in the seconds it would take to do what you're suggesting...all while using those SAME shields to protect the gate room and the city from the explosion while he was doing it - I just don't see it. The Ancients, or the Asgard, MIGHT have been able to pull it off - but not the Atlantis crew!
