Of course, why would they need to return if only to look at the text? Wouldn't they have recorded everything already?

I liked this episode. One of the better season 1 eps. Some nice character interaction going on- especially between Ernest and Catherine. Oh and I love the bit between Teal'c and Jack (We have a stargate, we need a DHD, or whatever he says!) Great line!

Great Episode. Since I've started watching all my Stargate DVD's again (by season) I recently watched this episode two days ago.
I was curious:
Does anyone know who the four races were that wrote the "book?" Or at least the four races that convened at the supposed "meeting room" (the room where the "book" was found)? I'm guessing Asgard, Ancients and maybe the Nox. Who the other race is I have no clue. Any ideas anyone?
Also, about returning to the planet. Possible spoiler next, so tread carefully if you don't want to see it.Spoiler:SG-1 tried to return right away, but the gate wouldn't connect. General Hammond made the assumption that the "fortress" (what to call the place?) was gone since the gate didn't connect. So I'm guessing that the SGC assumes there's no reason to return, since they're guessing the "book" was destroyed.
Personally, I was curious to see what the "book" had to say, and hope (against the odds) that some SG team will make their way to the planet (by ship since the Stargate is out of the question) and see about retrieving the "book".

Though I normally don't like discussing minor things that seem to contradict a "rule" of stargate travel... I noticed that when the young Dr. Littlefield goes through the gate at the beginning of the episode, the tube that runs from his air-tight suit to what I'd assume was a source of oxygen is severed. Dr. Littlefield, the tube running from his suit to the source of oxygen, and the source of oxygen itself is certainly a discreet unit in so much as, say, a hypothetical ship that could travel through the gate is . Since we've learned (Spoiler is from Atlantis - 38 Minutes)Spoiler:that the Stargate will only transfer matter in discreet units

You also kinda have to remember that this was only their first season, so some inconsistencies are gonna happen.Yes, I really do look like (a younger) Daniel. Don't believe me? Look for yourself.
Hey, Mitchell! You want a turn?

Makes one wonder if Ernest hadn’t been there to show Daniel what a wasted life looked like, if Daniel would have tried to camp out in the hall for the rest of his life to translate that ‘meaning of life stuff.’
I liked it when Jack said “Daniel, before your head explodes, may I remind that we've got more important things to deal with right now?” when Danny was like a kid in a candy store thinking of all the knowledge that the hall contained.Convention Pix Shore Leave ('06 to '09), AT2, AT3, & AT4 ('06, '08, & '09), and Vancouver ('07)
