*The following includes spoilers on ancient device introduced in season 10*
*Well, actually I believe it was introduced in season 9, but saw no action till season 10*
*Ye be warned*
*There be dragons here*
*Oops is that a spoiler?*
Ok anyway, the thing with the "out of phase" device is that just like the Crystal Skull, it should render its affected subjects "fall through the floor". Like in the previous episode, the house should either fall right through the planet, or float away into space.
Why?
Because we see Priors and Ori soldiers (ie. Normal matter) walking right through the phased walls and SG team memebers, meaning that all friction, heck, all molecular interaction between normal and phased matter, are completely cut off. By all means once phased Carter should just fall right through and find herself imitating Superman flying into Earth's core (possibly finding an out-of-work Aaron Eckhart).
Of course, you can argue that the Ancient device is "all mighty and powerful" with the ability to "stablize all affected matter in relative position with normal matter", but, BUT!!! That would not explain why the Prior did NOT walk ankle deep inside the phased house (nor did his stick, as I recall). Unless the village house has floor with NO height, the Prior should not appear to be walking on the floor but instead the dirt underneath the phased floor!
Yes I know it's completely irrelevent to the plot and is a minor detail that only few will ever detect (we few who have no hope of getting a life, a girlfriend, or any other social niceties that even intergalactic travellers seem to enjoy), but I've had too much coffee and now can't sleep... So what I have to say is this: they should have learned from the Crystal Skull!
If not then at least listen to the Wormhole X-treme lady...
ps. They should not have given Mckay the device, he would totally turn off the phased-matter-position-stablizer and "accidentally" phase out all female uniforms on base (and then probably find himself turned into a couch on a planet that idolizes Daniel for his allergy).
