I've been thinking lately about some of the loose ends that SG-1 left us- those little, nagging comments or plot points that seem ripe for further investigation, but are left to fester in your imagination. I've got three that bug me and they're listed below.
What do you wish the Stargate writers had tied up before SG1 left the air?
1) What ever happened to Nick Ballard after "The Crystal Skull"? Did he die on that planet, or did he come back to Earth at some point?
2) And then there's the cloned Jack O'Neill running around in high school (probably college by now) after "Fragile Balance". What's he up to?
3) In "Ripple Effect", the "black" Mitchell told "our" Mitchell to "cut the green one" when the time came. As far as I know, and maybe I'm wrong, Mitchell never had to cut a green something for the rest of the series. So does this get resolved in AoT or Continuum? (I try not to read spoilers) If it does, then how come the black SG-1 had already had to "cut the green one" but wasn't any closer to beating the Ori than "our" team was at the same point in time?? And we know that they were very similar parallel universes because the "black" team didn't suffer from the entropic cascade failure (according to the flimsy explanation provided in the episode) that usually afflicts universe-jumping individuals. So did the universes significantly diverge after "Ripple Effect", perhaps because of the events in that episode??
See what I mean about these loose ends festering?!?
