"Is the event horizon Swirling?(I'm assuming it wouldn't pull back like a funnel until the effect 'built up' in the gate itself) I put the DVD away....too....lazy....to....check...." - Mio
Getting back to the nine chevrons in the Pegasus, maybe the newer gates just have all nine chevrons light up.... possibly because the designers thought it looked better. Designers being either the show's designers or the Ancient architects designing the newer gate.

And yes, the seven chevrons are lit for the initial launch sequence (I love the little jets) and then all nine are lit in the last shot of it being hurled into the sun.

Carter set the gravity generators in the cargo bay to maximum....and the gate did do a swirling thing, just not a sucking-backwards thing.
The force shield probably prevented the funnel effect once it was outside the gravity field of the cargo bay.sigpic

In any event, the lower two chevrons are not lit in Nemesis, nor are they lit in the *first* part of the Exodus-hurling-Stargate sequence.
I'm going to have to agree with ye olde moderator, and chalk the Atlantis bit up to a production oversight. I'd LOVE to see the ninth chevron being legitimately used, but something tells me that won't occur for some time."So are we taking your car or mine, or am I just gonna follow you?"

Atlantis's 9 are probably just a goofsigpic
