We have ships, why have we not gone back to Heliopolus?!?
I also thought of this. What do you hope to find there? In season 2 the writers set this place up as being a huge database and a massive amount of knowledge collect by the four great races of the galaxy, and surrounding galaxies, or as Jack put it:
"Meaning of life type stuff"
If they go back there and they do find something, what the hell are the writers supposed to do, just make up a meaning of life? While this would be a super cool thing to do episode wise, it presents alot of problems from an actual show development perspective.

I think that's why they have bibles to follow so that they don't write themselves into those type of plot holes. However I think they threw their bible in a bond fire and watched it go up into flames, forgetting all the other story arcs that were written during the Show Time Era. I don't know I just wish the show was more concistant with their story lines, there are so many unfinished threads that need to be wrapped up. Without doing that it lessens the qualitly of the show, in my own eyes at least, I doubt many others...
I think that gate was buried in their underground complex when the "breeders" were able to get through their shields and bomb the place. It's not likely they knew about the gate, since the Eurondan cloners apparently found the gate after the complex was built and they were sealed inside.
That was one of my favorite episodes, and I'd love to see a sequel, but the way they ended The Other Side, I can't see a revisit working.
Jarnin's Law of StarGate:
1. As a StarGate discussion grows longer, the probability of someone mentioning the Furlings approaches one.
