Solitudes (117)

[Krisz]

I can only think she was fixated on dialing Earth and no where else due to her overriding concern for her injured commanding officer, getting him back as quickly as possible to receive medical attention. Earth was the only place at the time she knew he would get it.

[hedwig]

She could have taken him to the Nox planet and asked for them to heal him.

[jelgate]

The NOx gate would have buried. That said it seems a lack of logic to not try other addresses. Its that reason I have never liked this episode.

[garhkal]

True, the Nox had buried their gate prior to Solitudes.

[fems]

Didn't Sam have a concussion (and hypothermia)? Also, don't forget that they use designations rather than glyphs to refer to planets and it's the tech guys that do the actual dialing. Considering this was season one, there's a good chance she simply didn't know the address to a friendly/uninhabited planet.

[garhkal]

Good point. IIRC it wasn't till later eps that all the team knew how to dial the gate besides daniel when they went off world.

True, the Nox had buried their gate prior to Solitudes.

The Nox reopened their gate in Enigma to transport the Tollan away from Earth, but that was probably temporary.

Although garkhal has a point too, all team members would probably know the address to Earth, not necessarily anywhere else.

Daniel at his best - he found the answer.

Carter was sure the stargate malfunctioned, why should she have tried another address?
Think about it.

[jelgate]

That would make Carter a pretty poor scientist

Indeed it would.

One thing that really annoyed me was the lack of any hats. No wonder they were freezing so quickly.

This struck me once again having watched Within the Serpent's Grasp/The Serpent's Lair, when the human members of SG-1 each wore a woolly hat on the Ha'tak.

Think about it.

Maybe cause of shear exhaustion and injury.. Clouded her judgement.

Don't buy that one since she dug her way up to the surface of Antarctica.

Sorry if this is inappropriate but was it really only Jack's sidearm?

As this is a PG-13 forum -- yes, it was just his sidearm.

Imagine the situation and the circumstances - would you think of bees and flowers then???
