1. What is the logic behind the iris on the stargate? Why doesn't the burst when the gate opens make a hole through the gate (considering it destroys anything else)?
2. I've just seen the S2 ep with Jack visiting the alien planet to get rid of all the extra knowledge... and the team with Sam on another planet supposedly couldn't get back, because they couldn't dial home... but the gate on Earth could make contact with them, and send things through to them... I must be missing something. Doesn't transit go both ways, as long as the gate is open? I.e., couldn't you go through the gate, and quickly turn back on the other side, and go back through? If not, why not? I mean, the gates connect two points in space, and once the corridor is open, it shouldn't matter which way someone comes in or out.
Actually, I now remember a bit earlier episode with that Nox woman coming through the gate, then asking those refugees to come along, and then they all want right back through the gate. With it still being open. So... ???
TIA for any answers...
