You mean what Teal'C wanted to touch just before Carter was beamed away?
I guess that was somehow related to the shield because the hull had been breeched in that section...

Tin-Foil...*Cough* Roswell *Cough*

Exactly aAnubiSs! A lot of people suspect tin foil is actually an alien metal. Think about it's properties. How many kinds of metal DON'T retain heat? They also found tin foilish metals at Roswell, like my buddy above mentioned. ;O

Are you implying that the Roswell crash was the Asgard, and that we got tin-foil from their ship? Hmmm...interesting theory. When was tin foil "invented?"

[aAnubiSs]

Roswell wasn't Tin-Foil, but most people think so. It was a plastic version of Tin-foil, cause the plastic version expands back to it's original flat form if you twist and turn it, and tin-foil does not

sounds like u have inside knowledge?

It's kind of like in Atlantis. That little map thing that Sheppard got there looked like a PDA with fancy plastic over it. Or that chair in Antarctica looked like a normal chair with some goop just plastered on.

My basic rule of thought for special effects/set design is this...

Think about Star Wars; Episode 1 and 2, while yes they both looked great, had wonderful special effects and sets, the storylines were both lacking (IMO anyway).

Look at Stargate, low-budget, but still manages to have an awesome story.

To be precise it wasn't a weather ballon. It was carrying a load of sensors to attempt to detect Soviet atomic testing by radiation in the upper atmosphere. But same difference
