    Arm in the event horizon ?

    I really enjoyed this week episode however:



    They would have had plenty of time to save Eli, Chloe, Greer and Scott if someone had stuck his arm (or any other thing) in the event horizon of the gate to prevent Destiny from going to FTL... (Like in Air pt.3)

    But in Air3 that caused the ship to shudder and shake and they only did it for a couple of minutes - it would have taken hours to get Scott & Co out.

      no cause if you remember the destiny was shaking quite badly while eli's arm was in the event horizon. at some point it may have jumped into ftl anyway and the person who's arm is in the gate might have lost it. plus at the very slow rate the sad military folks were removing those rocks it wouldn't be worth it.

        Gates an only stay open for a certain amount of time unless you're pumping a lot of power into them so it probably wouldn't have bought them near enough time.

          yea like its been said the gat ecan only stay open 38 minutes, there was no way they could dig themselves out in time, and if they had anyone on the planet at the time, they too could have been stuck there.

          dont worry you know they will get back to the ship

            They could have sent Franklin on a stretcher to the planet - and stuck him half in.
            Its seems that might have been a way to actually get a reference to him in this show even though he WAS the first person in the chair!

            Delaying FTL not stopping Destiny's FTL seems to be what we've from seen so far.

              or maybe stick a pole through. however i doubt the usefullness of the extra time.


              it would've been great if they had sent the next few gate adresses to the people stuck there, so they could've catched up.

                That may be true but you still have the 38 minute time frame which was not enough time

                    Has it ever been established just how much living matter has to be in the event horizon? My meaning is: an arm? Wouldn't a finger do as well?

                      why stick anything in there, we know that radio waves can keep a gate open....not past the 38 minutes though....

                      ....does that mean you can yell at the gate to keep it open?

                        Someone should ask Nina Sharp if that's a good idea.

                          1. Even if the hand in the gate trick worked it would only buy them 38 minutes. That didn't seem enough considering how deep they were buried.

                          2. Would having the gate open keep Destiny from jumping into FTL ?
                          In Air III the gate was successfully kept open past the timer - BUT - Destiny's engines were already powering up and getting ready to jump, with no indication of stopping to wait for the gate. If they had kept the gate open longer, Destiny could have jumped regardless and the connection lost in the process. Bye, hand.

                            The reference last week wasn't enough? You want them to sit around and discuss his predicament with excruciating detail? He sat in the chair it fried his brain and now he's in a coma.

                            nuff said. They don't need to spend 5 minutes in every episodes saying "gee i wonder if Franklin is ok"

                              The stargate makes a pretty distinctive noise when it's shutting off, so if you were quick you'd be able to get your arm out in time. Do we know if inanimate objects actually hold the gate open or if the gate only holds for living tissue?
