    Third Earth Gate?

    In S8, we see that Earth really has no replacement for the Stargate, especially after the Antarctic gate was destroyed by Anubis, and the Egypt gate the sole method of gate travel. However, I would like to know if anyone else has noticed the very real possibility of a third Gate in our system...

    Hint: Seasons One and Two

    I think his name is...Homer, and he's very important to me...

    That gate was destroyed when the ship it was on blew up.

      I'm not sure, but who knows, there were two gates, why couldn't there be five?

        When exactly do they say that?

          While it is possible, it is highly unlikely that the writers would pick something up from that far back in the show's history. They are trying to make this as accessible as possible to new viewers. They have to be very careful when it comes to continuity; they don't want to alienate the loyal long-time viewers, but at the same time they do not wish to do the same to the possible new fans.

          Not necessarily, we've seen the gates survive the effects of a black hole and being plunged into a sun (before it went boom), the Stargates are bloody hard to destroy. What makes you think one wouldn't be able to survive a tiny little explosion like that?

            Carter stated that the explosion of the ships would be amplified by the naquadah in the gate. That sorta leads me to believe that the gate didn't survive.

              Obviously their is one on the north pole.

                Although I agree that the explosions from Apophis' and Klorel's ships don't seem like they should have been enough to destroy a gate considering what we've seen some gates survive, the fact that the gate has not activated since then seems to indicate that it is no longer an active, viable gate.

                For instance, at times when both gates have been otherwise inaccessible, if the Klorel gate was still viable the wormhole would've connected to it. Also, I doubt that in all the time since S1 and S2, with all the ships that have come and gone from orbit of Earth, that no one noticed a naquadah signature floating around in Earth orbit. At the very least you would expect that Thor's ship would've detected something like that, or that the SGC would've asked someone like the Tok'Ra or the Asgard to scan for extra gate.

                  If the DHD wasn't connected to said gate as it orbited the sun in the debris cloud of the two Goa'uld warship, would it be visible?

                  In "The Torments of Tantalus" we were shown a DHD can be partially destroyed and you can still gate TOO the planet, but if it's in orbit and disconnected from a DHD, might there not be a "safety protocol" that precludes gating to it?

                  Moreover, it might not be AT the designated coordinates. That explosion could have sent it on some bizarre eliptical orbit far from the coordinates of earth.

                  But I have to agree... the writers won't go back and use facts from a show that far back. I suspect that THIS season will probably try to establish some sort of firewall between it and those episodes that went before. Hence the death of Selmak, the removal of Anubis, and the defeat of the System Lords.

                    We know from Atlantis that a free-floating gate, without a DHD can be dialed to without any sort of safety protocol. Remember, the Atlantis team sent a MALP through a space-based gate and lost it because they did not realize the gate was in orbit around a planet.

                    You have a point with this, however, if it's not at the desired coordinates (meaning somewhere in the general vicinity of our solar system) then it doesn't qualify as a 'third Earth gate'.

                      there are 2 gates ok let me explane

                      gate1 the egypt gate first gate used to go abidos and where eva els

                      gate 2 the one found in antarctica

                      gate1 was taken aboard thors ship when the replicators came to earth (nemasis)
                      this was recovered by the russians

                      the antarctica gate was unpact and used at the sgc
                      the russians started there gate program with out egypt gate (gate 1)
                      the antarctic gate was destroyed by anubis's weapon in reconing
                      we then had the egypt gate put back to the sgc and have been using that since now we only have 1 gate

                          Would be interesting if the Gate had crashed on the moon or something or was in orbit of earth.

                            the gate detonated about 20 million miles away because the x-302 it was on entered hyper space for a very short ammount of time

                              Check out http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=12581 The 'gate was exploded "over three million miles away".

                              Also, what about Orlin's gate? Wouldn't that make four?
