Invisible Asgard
The article currently suggests that the Asgard do have cloaking technologies capable of making their ships invisible. Not only is this pure speculation - but it's speculation which goes against all evidence. When Thor said to Jack that the Tau'ri cannot detect his ship, the line referred to in the article, the ship was perfectly visible on camera. He never said it could cloak - and most people believe, probably correctly and as the article says, that he was referring to his radar absorbing technologies and other sensor countermeasures. Also, the fact that he responded to Jack's question over whether people will detect his ship with "You have never detected us before" as opposed to "We are invisible/cloaked" is a pretty good suggestion that they're not invisible, just very small to have a chance of seeing with a telescope being pointed randomly into the sky. We also know that it was only through Merlin's ascended/ancient knowledge that the Odyessy could cloak - even once the Asgard core was added (along with supposedly all their knowledge), they never cloaked to avoid the Ori in Unending or since. For these reasons I believe that suggesting the Asgard vessels can become invisible is a totally unarguable theory and not an appropriate thing to suggest on an article :) Sman789 (talk) (Contribs) 20:09, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
