I have been reading posts about why they don't have Irises on the Midway Station. Am I the only one who understands that the McKay/Carter Intergalactic Gatebridge does not create one giant wormhole that connects to all the gates at one time...passing through them as it were. This would be impossible, because then, at each gate, there would be both an Outgoing and an Incoming wormhole...which is impossible.
The wormhole SHUTS DOWN at each gate, Then REDIALS to the next one. Because of this, you cannot send an IDC to the last gate in the system, Unless you dial twice. IF you did have to dial twice, it negates the need for an iris because anyone could then Dial in, and the iris would be open, it would require Immaculate timing...but it could be done.
If you did send the code, you would have to send the travelers through during the same wormhole, The patterns would be stored in the buffer, and all forwarded at the same time, In this event, the people on Midway would have mere microseconds to open an iris or shield before the people impacted against it. This is Physically impossible to do, seeing as no Human being could read that a code had been recieved, and open a metal sliding iris like in the sgc in microseconds. It's beyond our limitations.
Therefore, unless you want to kill off everyone who went to midway, having an iris or shield is just a non-issue.
Now, I realize that the earth gate opened the iris prior to the Wraith device coming through. This is, in my opinion, a very large plothole, because Rodney says, in the "Previously On" in midway "Stores you in it's buffer, then forwards you along to the next to the next to the next..." You step through the Atlantis or milky-way gate, and you do not rematerialize until you reach midway. a code from an iris would do the same, and they would be rematerialized one right after another. Any traveller on there way from midway to earth would not have time between the sending of the IDC and their arrival to allow someone to open an iris. It is just not plausible.
Thank you for your time.
