    The Stargate's Eighth Chevron

    right so an eight chevron address is between galaxies. and that some gate's eight chevron can't be used. but what would happen if an eighth chevron capable gate dialled one that couldn't use its eighth chevron?

    You would be stuck in that galaxy till you found one that could.

      what i mean is could you do that (i.e. a MW gate, not Earth, to a Pegasus gate, not Atlantis)

        that would work, just hook up a ZPM and dial of!
        But in PG you would be have to have the control crystal.

            That's not true. Pegasus gates are not an eighth chevron issue. In the gate bridge they are close enough to the MW gates to dial using 7 chevron and still can't. What makes them different and unreachable is something else entirely.

            My theory is that the wormholes operate on different frequencies, which is the reason why they have different color crystals. One gate doesn't recognize the other gate because it's on a different frequency. The Atlantis control crystal makes a temporary switch in the frequencies that allows a connection.

            If it was just a matter of unlocking the 8th chevron the Wraith would have been able to figure that out years ago and the gate bridge wouldn't need a midway station...it would simply connect through all the way.

              Then how come in the Fifth Race O'Neill needed to use the eihth chevron to dial a MW Gate in IDA?

                I meant the reason why Pegasus gates couldn't connect outside the galaxy didn't have anything to do with the 8th chevron. Ida had a gate with red crystals, so it used the same frequency as the MW gates and therefore could connect using the 8th chevron(technically it's the 7th because the point of origin comes last).

                If you took a Pegasus gate and flew it to the MW, then you could dial 8 chevrons and make a connection because it's on the same frequency, but you couldn't dial a nearby MW gate because it's a red gate instead of a blue.

                Only Atlantis's control crystal could switch frequencies(temporarily) as well as the Asgard copy of the crystal that was used when dialing into the supergate. The red gate frequency wasn't stored in the DHDs so no matter how much the Wraith took the tech apart there was no way for them to make a connection outside the galaxy.

                  But the same dialing programme was used to dial Atlantis.

                    Complete nonsense. The color of crystals is for show, style and such. Thera are no wormhole freaquancies, only galaxy gate systems, which can be readjusted as needed (manualy though) for other galaxies. If you took a pegasus gate to mw, you couldnt dial a 8 ch adress because a) the gate wouldnt have enough power. b) if it did enough power, it would need the control/navigation crystal, like the ones atlantis and earth gate has, but such a crystal would allow any gate to dial any 8 chevron adress. This same control crystal apperantly makes freaquancies irrelevant too. The crystal is in the dhd too, as mkay took atlantisis one to the mist planet in season 1. The wraith simply didnt have the power to dial another galaxy (and/or motivation to do so and earths coordinates, or just gate adresses in general).

                    Seriously, dont say someone else is wrong when you dont know what your talking about.

                    To answer the op, the recieving gate doesnt have to have anything special to recieve wormholes, only the outgoing gate has to have enough power and a control crystal that allows dialing other galaxies and adjusts the gate accordingly. We know that atlantis and earth gates have this crystal, asgard unsurprisingly can make their own, and other PG gates dont have it, wheather mw gates have them is unknown.


                    Covering up scandals and keeping secrets is almost a racial trait.

                    Isn't it funny how the word 'politics' is made up of the words 'poli' meaning 'many' in Latin, and 'tics' as in 'bloodsucking creatures’?

                      I thought it was just the DHD that needed a control crystal capable of dialing an eight symbol address to dial another galaxy, when was it said that the gate actually needs one of these Character?
                      I just don't recall it being mentioned that the actual gate needs to be tinkered with to allow it to dial another galaxy.

                        powerissue. MW gates can dial the pegasus gates, but require much more (exponentially?) power to dial so. the other way around: 1: no wraith could power an intergalactic wormhole, 2: the control crystal is for a pegasus gate what jack's upgrades were to the sgc dial computer. without the crystal, the gate cannot and will not dial intergalactically. infact, there is no reason to assume ANY MW gate can dial intergalactically aswell. SGC had access to DHD's by then and couldve copied its programming to simply get their own DHD. which wouldve allowed intergalactic dials.

                          Ancient hologram said that Atlantis was the one and only link back to earth...then it was said that Atlantis locked out all incoming wormholes except for those from Earth.

                          The Key is the Atlantis crystal, the one that Mckay removed and took to the mist planet. It is what alters the frequency of the wormhole(temporarily) to allow a connection.

                          This same crystal is what alters the Atlantis stargate to red frequency so Earth can dial in. All the Lanteans had to do was reprogram the crystal to reset the Atlantis gate frequency only if Earth was asking for a connection. Simple to do.

                          Earth needed Jack's dialing program because Earth lacks a DHD. Sam's MacGyvered version is incomplete, she says so herself. DHD's can dial other galaxies without a power boost. Thor dialed Ida via Earth's gate using nothing but his palm device when he took Carter there to deal with the replicators. Assuming this is a remote dialer with a bit of a power boost included, there is no reason to assume that a standard DHD lacks sufficient power to make an intergalactic jump.

                          Think about it. If a jaffa's staff weapon powersource can be tinkered with to power the gate...do you really think the DHD powersource is inadequate?

                          The Killman...the wraith had ZPMs, are you saying that's inadequate to power the gate?

                          If Pegasus gates were normal, why couldn't they connect to MW gates in the gate bridge? Earth had to establish the Midway Station in order to transfer from one gate network(red frequency) to another network(blue frequency). Otherwise, they could have just had the macro send them all the way without the stopover.

                            again something i blame to the CONTROL crystal, not to the frequency. i see it like using a new-version program on an old-version document. old version compatible with new, but not vice versa. possibly a revolutionary new code/base program/whatever was incorporated into the Pg gate. the crystal is a compatability(sp?) programm.

                            and if intergalactic dials are possible per DHD, why didnt we EVER rip the powersource out (recovered like what, 47 stargates for the gate bridge? thats 47 DHD's), and use it to power an intergalactic wormhole.

                            also, Aer'ki, ofcourse thor could do that. he dialled the asgard homeworld just long enough to do make a contact so the asgard gate takes over and powers the wormhole. we know of the principle in "Home", the same eppy you described.

                              TODD had them. besides, you still need an intergalactic dialling programm, and an adress. seeing the amount of possible configurations, its impossible for the wraith to accidently dial the right adress. todd had a ZPM. yes. todd might have an adress. but he still needs the programm to do so. and seeing as he probably has no utter clue how it would even work...
