DISCUSS ... THE SERPENT'S LAIR EPISODE NUMBER - 201 SG-1 must stop Apophis' invasion force before it reaches Earth, and escape with their lives. (Part 2 of 2) Visit the Episode Guide >>

[-Major Woody]

What I want to know is how O'Neill, Carter, Teal'c, and Bra'tac got from the gliders to the shuttle without space suits.

[KorbenDirewolf]

shhh.. Plot holes need to remain under wraps.

[Jeff O'Connor]

No, no... this is a really big issue with a certain episode of Farscape too (I'm part of the campaign over there) and there's a definitive answer -

As whacked up as it sounds, it's scientifically possible to be in space without a suit for a very limited amount of time.

Honest!

[KorbenDirewolf]

Probably the same method used by Jack and Teal'c in "Tangent".. Or at least similar

[Selmak]

As far as season opener 2-parters go I love this one.

[Animalian]

Dude, that was SO sad when Jack had to leave Daniel! I was like *sniffle sniffle*

[aAnubiSs]

Yes, I almost believed he was going to die the first episode in the new season

[omnian]

I love this episode. Truly classic Stargate at its best. Loving the reappearance of Bra'tac and how Daniel almost died. Definitely one of Stargate's greatest moments.

[Selmak]

Amazing how easily you can disable goa'uld engines... Jacks throws grenades.

[SeaBee]

I assumed the gliders folded up small enough to fit in the shuttles cargo hold.

And did anybody else notice the excellent clothing repair the sarc did on Daniel?

[KorbenDirewolf]

Generally, an explosion in the wrong place is enough to stop any sort of engine.

[Presley_Carter]

Ok can someone please explain to me how Daniel can use earth as a point of origin when the DHD is on the ship and not from earth? I am new and dense so please excuse me if this has been answered before- I did try and find a smiliar thread lol.....and PLEASE do not tell me I am just to accept "A wizard did it!"

I always thought the point of origin symbol was unique one on every DHD...but then if that was the case then how could he do it?? PLEASE tell me it has been bugging me for ages!

[Matt G]

The ship was close enough to Earth so that he could he could use the Earth POO. How do you think SG1 got on board the ship in the first place - it doesn't have it's own POO so it's Stargate will only work if it uses the POO of a nearby planet(if there is one)

Yes but i think the point Presley_Carter was trying to make is how can they use earth's PoO when it physically the gate didn't have the /\ symbol on it.

[Anubis]

I agree wiith craized. You can't use it as a point of origin without the proper gate

[VirtualCLD]

A lot of gates have the /\ symbol, not just Earth's. There's still a lot of debate over how this works, but I believe when a gate has a unique PoO, it's unique to the gate, not the world it's on.

[Anubis]

Possibly, the /\ does appear on others but it depends on the PoO

[Selmak]

It's just a production goof... they don't want to make a new PoO for every off-world gate scene.

One thing I can't believe is that no one in this thread has mentioned the Space Monkey hug. I just LOVED that whole thing, Daniel hiding in the back of the room until Gen. Hammond told the team that someone wanted to see them. Such a great moment.
