They could have dialed the Alpha site.

I don't know that the Alpha Site was operational by this point. The first mention to it was five episodes later in "The Serpent's Lair."

The "why didn't Carter just dial another address" issue always bugs me.

She was injured (at the least, she almost certainly had a concussion). She was stressed (worried, cold, short on both fluids and food). She had no reason to think they were on Earth. All of those things affected her thought processes. It would be more remarkable, IMO, if she had thought to dial another planet.

I'm surprised Jack didn't think of it either. I mean, he casually mentioned he had to get out of a dodgy situation on the border of Iran and Iraq once with a couple of broken bones. Even in his state he'd still could have made that "stupid" suggestion. But perhaps they were so focused on it that they didn't think of it -- I mean... it is possible, but it bugs me nonetheless.

Holy Bacon, what are you trying to do to me with a puzzle that big FH. It took me an hour and 3 minutes. We are never doing that again

Nope, I'm never doing that again, I solemnly swear it...

2hours 7minutes 21 seconds

Definitely not doing that again.

My deepest apologies.

[Seaboe Muffinchucker]

Bluntly, IMO, all the "Carter should've..." arguments concerning just about any episode are Monday Morning Quarterbacking.

I disagree about being hindsight. It should be basic sense to try different locations if Earth isn't working. The location vof where the gate is doesn't matter

[Who Knows]

Definitely not doing that again.

My deepest apologies.

It is OK FH, honest. I am not complaining, do not knock yourself out over it.
We should be up to the challenge, at least I did finish it.
I find as I get older I get slower, and I have another birthday Wednesday next, so I will be even worse.

Though to be honest...I didn't consider that a thing she could have done when watching the episode...any of the times I have watched it...


You were supposed to save the big puzzle for like the series finale or something. Not in the first season!

No, no hindsight involved.... just experience with things that don't work in situations (less life-threatening though but frustrations run wild nevertheless) where solution A leads nowhere, so let's try the 25 other letters in the alphabet.

Now we know that might not be such a brilliant idea, after all.

I promised never to do that again, but damn that was a fun one to do.

You're 10 minutes faster than I was. I clocked in at 01:13:45.

[jelgate]

I started to lose stamina on that puzzle. I started to slow down after awhile because my arms were getting stiff

[Falcon Horus]

Yeah, there were too many pieces so not to worry... it won't happen again.

[Seaboe Muffinchucker]

There's no such thing as too many piece, IMO.

Have you seen the jigsaw puzzle I created... ...too many pieces.

[aretood2]

If only there was a way to save your progress...
