Reunions Are a Bitch: Difference between revisions

** Also, only one Earth Ship, the ''Apollo,'' was destroyed, so it was more like only 16 to 17 percent. To make matters worse, the main reason it was destroyed (or rather, the Colonials' attempts to destroy it were successful) was because it was incomplete. One of the other seriously damaged ships was also incomplete, and suffered much of its damage because of that. Adar later states that, in the {{spoiler|attack on the Picon shipyards}}, two or three Tau'ri ships were destroyed--but leaves out that those "ships" were just a few F302's (which are actually "craft", not "ships"). Curiously, in this case, it's unclear if Adar was just plain lying in an attempt to improve morale (implying that two-three capital ships were destroyed) or lying about the fact that the "ships" destroyed were in fact "craft" (fighters), and just mixed up the numbers of craft destroyed and pilots killed.

* [[Government Conspiracy]]: Adar, the religious leaders, military leaders, and industrialists all support taking Earth for various reasons that they don't wish to disclose including lying about what happened at the Katlean Base. {{spoiler|Adar and company stated that the Prometheus destroyed the base, however it actually suffered a life support failure two weeks before the Prometheus even showed up in the Cyrannus system.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Flight Lieutenant Fitzgerald does this so that the French F-302 pilot can make it back to the ''Odyssey''.}}

* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: The Earthlings, particularly America and her allied nations, have faced one media debatable after another over the course of the story, usually as a consequence of their trying to keep their advantages secret.
