A Matter of Time (216)

[SilverRider]

I have two questions. One: Why did the wormhole did that spining cone shape thing? Hammond:Why is it doing that? O'Neill: It started when you got on the phone with the presdent.
Two: Do you think it did the same on the other side?
Three: My first post woo!

Hey Welcome to GW

I'm not a science geek, but I think it was cos the planet that was begining destroy by the black hole was close to the actual hole. *shrugs*

Someone might correct me one that.

Pssst! SmartFox and Lida, post#46, I believe.

I loved that relationship between Jack and Cromwell and how we finally learn what Jack meant in Prisoners. It does tend to get overshadowed by the SF aspect of a black hole screwing with the established time zones and threatening to swallow Earth, though.

Black holes tend to do that.

I thought this epsode was BRILLIANT!, the effects, teh acting (ok thats always good),the idea,......EVERYTHING!

it was really funny, i whatched it on DVD and the episode before it i put it in slow motion on a DHD part or something i can't remember, anyway i was zooming in and playing around and stuff

anyway, when that episode started, and they were all going in slow motion i kept pressing the play button! i was like: "comon you stupid remote! work!"


i love this episode

i like the whole wormhole/gravity thing they did!

[.:Lemon:.]

As always on Stargate, this episode had great special effects. The idea was also pretty interesting too. Not a fave of mine, but I think that's possibly because I haven't seen it that many times.

Love this epsidoe!!!!!!!!, it doesnt happen often but Siler gets a few lines

Pretty good episode...........I liked how they showed days pass outside the mountain but only minutes inside............yet another unoriginal title, though

A good epsidoe. I thought it was pretty original and I was amazed at some of the writing and some of the humore. I thought it was also nice that they delved into some of Jack's background and pitted Sam agaisnt everyone when she contridicts the plan for shutting tdown the gate. I thought it was a let down that Daniel didn't appear until the end but otherwise a good episode for the show.

Seeing I haven't seen all of Season 2 until recently. I never knew why the gate had a better iris. Now I know. In fact I think it's was a blessing in disguise. What a weird and twisted way of getting them to install a better iris than threaten the entire existence of the world as we know it?

I loved this episode, but as a former Airman, I was a little annoyed when Col. Cromwell called the Airman 1st Class a 'Seargant'. An Airman, is NOT a seargant, nor have they EVER been. Once upon a time, 'Senior Airmen' used to be called 'Buck Seargants', but no longer. My only peeve, in an otherwise great episode.

[Darkstar]

hmmmmm will the gate swirl the opposite way in the southern hemisphere???

[Pharaoh Atem]

love this espiode wish there would do another liked the part with carter walking up to the gate and putting her dog tags in the event horizon and realizing that the blackhole was sucking things thought the gate

overall good epsiode

I rewatched this episode a couple of days ago and there's something that has been bothering me. How is the balck hole's gravity coming through an outgoing worm hole? I could be confused or maybe I just missed something but can't matter, air, gravity, etc only go one way. And if this is so the wouldn't the "out-goingness" of a wormhole protect our side from the effects of a black hole. If not then explain it to me because it's driving me insane.

[SilverRider]

I think it was due to the strength of the "force" from the blackhole that made the gravity travel two ways. Plus the planet was also in the path of the blackhole could also be a factor.

the gravity of the black hole is holding the other end of the wormhole.

So the StarGate is basicly drawing power form the Blackhole's gravity.

It's one of those little tidbits we inadvertantly learn about the 'Gate, otherwise known as a plot-device. Although, while it was simply a plot-device, they worked it into the story quite well, and Carter's surprise at the gravity translating through the outgoing wormhole was both believable and definitely added to the gravity of the situation [pun most certainly intended] as an event that nobody really saw coming or previously thought possible.

Great mission It showed that sometimes you can't save evrybody.
