Anyway, if anyone out there knows what episode it is I will be very grateful. So far questions at Gateworld haven't been the most pleasent of experiences for me. Please help me out.

    It happened in show and tell, it was in stalled to stop Re'tu spies from opening the irus because they dont have hands.
    Whats wrong with asking questions

    Well nothing is wrong with asking questions. It's all I seem to do on the forum here but I usually don't get an answer or the admin take my post off. It's frustarating to find a place where your question is properly done. As for the people, I've waited days for some replys on my questions and still haven't gotten answer. Thank you very much for answering my question though.

    That's a great shame, and i hope it hasn't put you off coming here.

    I suppose as Gateworld is so big, it's easy for threads or questions to get ignored / lost in a flurry of other posts.

    As for the admins (mods)... they don't normally delete posts unless they've broken forum rules. What they way have done however is moved threads you've started to other folders, if they thought they were in the wrong folder. That may have caused you to lose them. To find them again, click on your name at the top of one of your posts, click on 'view public profile' and then click again on 'all threads started by SJ_Shipper.' to find your threads, or, 'all posts by SJ_Shipper'. Hopefully that'll help you find them

    As for your question ... i don't actually know ... trust Deano's answer!

    Deano is correct about it being Show and Tell (season 2)

    it was installed to stop people from overriding the command to open or close the gate. the hand print means that not only humans, but also SGC authorised personnel have the ability to control the Iris. Carter comes up with the idea after learning that a Re'tu was able to control the Iris by using a keyboard.

    "Show and Tell" was a good ep. I think I must watch it later.

    we actually delete very few posts. if one seems to vanish, usually what happens is that it was posted in the 'wrong' part of the forum and we move it somewhere where it fits better. or maybe it is very similar to an existing thread and it gets merged into that existing thread

    If you ever have a question about where a thread has gone, just grab a mod and ask them. if they don't know, they can ask the other mods and find out

    and yeah, the others are right. the iris is controlled by a palm scanner as of Show and Tell.

    theoretically it reads a person's palm print and if they'er not authorized to be playing with the iris, then it won't let them

    Actually "Show and Tell" With the Re'tu/Retou is in Season 2
    Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.
