All nine chevrons lit up!

[Chevron_nine]

The Pegasus galaxy is A LOT farther than the Agard's Galaxy, those power sources are probably still too inefficient to get to Pegasys.

Well, if something massive enough went through hyperspace, think it's possible? Like, the Death Star? Anubis is enough like Darth Vader anyhow :-P

Anubis as Vader! I can see it now...

Anubis: Jack I am your Father!
Jack: NO!!!!!!!!!!! (he then falls down a shaft into an open stargate).

Back on topic.....

I hope they don't use the ninth cheven for some pointless BS. Maybe we don't even know what it does because the Wraith dialed it.

[David]

Or like Darren suggested, it could simply be a production goof, at which point we're all chasing our tails to find out that there might be ... no tail at all.

[David85]

It could be but most of the clips look like it's from the primere and it's getting later to make mistakes.

Also, Keep in mind it's a new 3d effects company doing the FX, so maybe they forgot to do their homework before making the effects.

[Erik Pasternak]

In the fourth season finale (sorry, I forget the name) when they launch the Stargate towards the sun, aren't all nine chevrons lit up then as well? Maybe (please feel free to call me an idiot if I'm being one) once a wormhole is engaged all nine chevrons light up, we normally don't see the other two so how would we know?

[Anubis]

Yeah, you're actually correct. All nine chevrons are engaged with a seven symbol dialup sequence. Interesting...

[wilhelmganon]

I seem to remember the last two chevrons NOT being lit up in Exodus, but I could easily be mistaken - screenshot, anyone?

As you can see, there are only 7 chevrons engaded and lightening... so

Just to jump a tiny bit off topic here for a second...

Could the "9th Chevron" be the Ancients 'future proof' 'device'.

They build all gates with the 9 chevrons so that any future 'gate networks'... further and further away from each other can be contacted from each and every other gate network.

In my sollution, the 9th chevron is similiar to the 8th is concept, only larger distance multiplyer?

If the Ancients intended for their networks to be continually spreading throughout the known universe, then it would make sense for them to be able to contact all those networks at any given time (or at least most of them)

So 7 chevrons for addresses within own galaxy...

8 Chevrons to dial from your galaxy to another galaxy

9 Chevrons to go further out

Of course the Ancients had no use for the 9th at that stage, because they had no networks at that range?

With the current theory of expanding universe model, then this sollution fits?

Thoughts?

[wilhelmganon]

"9 chevrons to go further out"

Go further out where? Assuming that each glyph represents a separate galaxy (for 8th chevron purposes), the 'gate network could potentially differentiate between 38 different galaxies. Unless the Ancients populated 39 or more galaxies with 'gates (which I doubt), there's really nowhere else to go, distance-speaking. The "different universes" theory, in my opinion, isn't really valid, but I guess it's possible.

"9 chevrons to go further out"

I think it means dailing to another universes, in my opion it's valid theory.

[Anubis]

Well, we know eight dials to another galaxy to perhaps nine goes as far as possible

[David85]

You dial nine you go to the center of the universe and meet God.... Oh wait wrong franchise....
