The Fifth Race (215)

[Falcon Horus]

The start of the Furlings -- the one race we never learned much about and were only used to ridicule TPTB in episode "200".

Errors :

1. They said that the computers can calculate only 1-2 coordinates in 2 month in the COTG, while they said only a few days here.

2. Daniel called Heliopolis as PB2-908, while it was P3X-972.

3. They have misspelled Fraiser name as "Frasier" on her computer:

6. The stargate should have been different on the Othala planet in the Ida galaxy:

My comment: I always wanted to see an Asgard gate with runes, but they were not planning ahead with different gate systems in season 2.

1. They said that the computers can calculate only 1-2 coordinates in 2 month in the COTG, while they said only a few days here.

It's been a year since COTG, computer software evolves and they have learned more about the system. It would considerably shorten the calculation time.

There's something I read somewhere about the Frasier/ Fraiser issue. I'm pretty sure it's an ongoing thing.

5:51 on the puzzle...

This was a really good episode, if I were to nitpick slightly the ending was a little anti climactic when Jack comes back through - he remembers meeting the Asgard right? Just not anything while he had the knowledge? If so he buried the lead a bit. Of course many Stargate episodes end pretty abruptly when things get resolved. RDA did a great job in this one.

I really enjoyed this episode, except I wonder how much MORE they would have learned if they wouldn't have made Jack stop using the computer. He added so many gates..

Also, why did Jack not mention that they had met an Asguardian back in 'Thors Hammer'?

That place where they got to in the beginning, with the database, seemed to be like a welcoming chamber. Like, you know, knowing how the Ancients' tech works, it'd be easy to find the switch and open up the walls. I'm really wondering what's outside - an city-ship perhaps or at least a colony settlement, who knows?

I found myself wondering if it was even part of a planetary structure. Carter noted that the breathable air and moderate temperature of the Ancient room would've needed to come from a life support system and the lights needed a power source, but she couldn't figure out where either of them were coming from. Certainly, the room would need life support if it was, say, contained within an underground outpost, but what if it was instead part of a derelict ship or space station?

The Ancients have been pretty consistent about placing planetary gates outside of their facilities, with the exception of Atlantis, which I'm guessing is because they couldn't land on solid ground when they first arrived in Pegasus without an outpost, came to like living on the ocean, and Atlantis was too heavily populated and too much of a hub for travel to easily transport people to and from a far away mainland gate. We've never seen a post-Destiny gate room on an Ancient habitat meant to regularly operate in space, though, so if one ever existed maybe this is what it looked like.

Building an enclosed room with nigh impenetrable walls and making a transporter device that needs to be activated from outside of a spaceship's gate room the only way to access the rest of the ship would not be the worst idea the Ancients ever had. Of course, I don't know why they'd keep the repository in a ship's gate room and this is all pure speculation. Plus, if there was anything of consequence to the place besides the room itself, a low powered exterior energy source, and exterior control panels (or unless it was destroyed or moved off-screen by, for example, Anubis or another Goa'uld who learned about what happened with the repository through their Trust contacts) you'd think Earth would have figured that out after the Asgard gave them reliable hyperdrive technology.

In any case, there would've been a lot of interesting ways they could've solved the mystery of what that room is part of. It's a shame that the second device was found out in the open, in the more familiar primitive stone architectural setting, instead of in another closed off space that they either had to work to get into (because gating in wasn't an option for some reason) or work to get out of (because they lost the ability to use the gate after their arrival).
