Ancient control chair

[Hjalmar]

So the chair works telepathically; if you have the gene you think and the chair does what you think. But yet there seem to be 2 control areas that need to be handled manually, what would be their purpose?

A Lantean form of the "his or her sex machine" from Bam Margera's "Haggard".

In all seriousness, probably a form of simultaneous direct control or control modifiers like the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys on a contempoary computer keyboard.

Somethings just need to be manual controled.

Actually, they have removed the hand controls on the Atlantis chair. I saw the actual chair in the 2007 Vancouver set tour and they're not squishy like it was at the end of season 7.

Vala,

Vala,

yeah, they also dropped a step and changed colors and stuff
the new one sucks

pretty much every prop they changed turned out badly
the chair, the jumpers, the consoles

I don't get it, why fix something that's not broken ???

[Lightbane]

Yeah why change something that doesn't need changing? the original chair in SG-1 was cooler then the control chair in Atlantis

i prefer the new jumpers.

I also have gotta say that imho the new jumpers are pretty sweet. Plus now that they can make the cloak a shield that is quite powerful it becomes even more useful and resilient.

When did they change the Jumpers? I must've missed this.

Does anyone have before and after pics?

There wasn't much of a change with the contol chair but it was because they didn't want Atlantis & SG-1 too similar. I expect the hand rest squish things were an interface mechanisim and now the Atlantis chair is newer and more advanced it didn't need it.

[Vala_M]

The "new" jumpers are just the pilot's controls, the 1st season ones were pink red and such and colored, the new one is more of just a dash board with lots of blue/white lights on it. I actually prefer it better.

Vala,

Also, the drive pods don't just come out, they come out and unfurl now.

Looks pretty trippy.

and they made work from the chicken/ham sandwich coming out on command

Yeah, they definitely need a sammich fabricator on the jumpers, for those long duration flights.

I second the notion and... suggest a beer option for the fabricationd evice.
