The only thing I didnt like

[spinny magee]

How the crew acted when they went through the gate was an absolute facepalm

Of course I've never been stuck on a ship for 2 years so I wouldn't know

But seriously? lol

[Egle01]

Damn, I loved it. Running, trampling over each other, pushing -- they really wanted to get home. And can you blame them?

And technically it's been about 10 months since they got stuck on Destiny.

[General Jumper One]

They acted exactly like they do at major sales for the big stores

[escyos]

If you had a chance to get home that appeared to be very short wouldn't you shove to get through in time?

Especially when you can see the wormhole destabilizing and have people screaming at you to run....

[thekillman]

just love it when people's instincts kick in

[Lahela]

Definitely a facepalm, but also perfectly natural. Stampede instinct at its finest. Sad.

[icsteffi]

Yeah, I think this is pretty realistic given the circumstances! The SG was visibly not gonna last for long! And Mr. 2 by 3 seconds (telford <3) wasn't exactly the perfect role model when he screamed out his orders and rushed in like a mad cow! (or something) anyways, I really liked this scene (along with all the others)

This sort of thing has happened at music concerts before and people have died trying to get in, so it doesn't surprise me that there'd be a stampede while lives are at risk and people's one chance of getting home is in front of them.

I still dont understand how Telford made it thru. The first thing Stargate Command does it close the Iris when an incoming wormhole is established. Telford even said he couldn't use the radio to inform them.

I guess they opened a wormhole to an alternate site. Maybe the alpha site? Maybe thats a failsafe in case a team doesn't have the option of using their remotes, but why wasn't that mentioned?

i thought about this, but then remembered that eli had told them the plan, so they knew that they were coming and estimated when they would try to do it.

as for the op: sadly that is how real people would react. they had a short window to get through the gate, and you instinct is to go as fast as you can no matter what it takes.

I don't understand as well.
Firstly, they were unable to contact Stargate Command.
Lets assume it was scheduled and SGC opened the the Iris in advance, it is very unlikely SGC will do that as well since what they had been through in the SG operations.

Secondly alt-Telford wasn't on schedule as well.
He was 12 hours earlier when he stepped through the gate.

The SGC would have detected that all nine of their chevrons have been locked and they all would have been lit up, and they know that could only be one possibility, Destiny, and not have closed the iris

That, and the fact that Eli had just finished running all his math by Homeworld Command, remember. We can infer that they told the SGC to be expecting them.

No. There's no way of telling where an incoming wormhole is coming from, as stated on several occasions in SG-1. The receiving gate just lights up all its chevrons, it doesn't dial in the same way that the sending gate does. Someone would have to stone in and tell them it's them, or else....splat.
