why did they have to wait 38 minutes for the gate to shut off instead of just diving and going through?
they were sitting on top of the active gate which was mostly covered in water. the gate stayed active because of the water pressure. shouldn's this mean that the water should have gone through the gate and transmitted to the Atlantis gate to be destroyed upon contact with the forcefield at the event horizon?
so couldn't they lower the shield for a moment and for the team to dive and go through with the water. after they're through Atlantis could raise the forcefield back. some water would go to the Atlantis control Room but so what?
are they afraid of a little water?
the only thing i can think of is that its because they were worried that the gate might not send them because the gate doesn't send something until its all in and because the water was unending the gate might have just stored them in the buffer until it was deactivated and then deleted them. but if that was the case why did Atlantis need to keep the shield up? they could lower it for a moment and if some water would go through that would mean the team can go through also.
