It doesn't seem logical to me that he had one. Is there one missing from the box? Aren't there slots for them?

communication stones - possible plot hole?

if rush had an extra stone then wouldn't the communication device have defaulted to rush's mind on the destiny instead of earth, especially since he has supposedly been keeping the stone on his body... there must be something more to it than the argument that the closer the stones the less need for a platformI'm an average viewer. As plain as they come. People make TV shows based on my demographic.

i don't think distance has anything to do with it. Keller and the thief were not that close (albeit in the same galaxy, they were on different planets.) Their method of swapping was the same as Daniel and Vala when they went to the Ori home galaxy. In that case there was even a greater distance between them.
i think that there only needs to be one terminal active for the swapping to occur. Actually that would make more sense since it would allow one person to be traveling (without that bulky terminal to carry, they just carry a stone or touch it and don't need to carry anything anymore) while the observers at a home base with the terminal can swap and visit what's going on with the traveler's environment and communicate.
OMG I just realized what if that is the proper way the stones work to begin with and by using two terminals at once to connect with earth with the same matching set of stones, causes all the problems they are having! like having two communication lines open at the same time...

I think the use of stones is pretty consistent in the whole franchise:
No terminal = No body swap, only mind link. (SG-1 8.15 "Citizen Joe")
One terminal with communication used in the same galaxy = Full body swap between the stone bearer and the terminal user (SGA 5.18 "Identity"; SGU 1.11 "Space")
One terminal with communication used between two galaxies = Half body swap. Only the user with the terminal takes control of the stone bearer on the other end (SG-1 9.02 "Avalon Part 2"; SG-1 9.03 "Origin Part 3"; SG-1 9.19 "Crusade Part 1")
Two terminals with communication used between two galaxies = Full body swap between the two terminal users (Brieftly in SG-1 9.03 "Origin Part 3"; in all applicable SGU episodes besides "Space")
So first, can other forum users comment on that. Am I in the right to think the producers now what they are doing with the stones because it seems pretty consistent to me?
I would also like to know the definitive story about the stone that was on the Alien ship in SGU. Maybe someone could ask Joe Mallozi about that on his blog?

this actually makes me think of another problem. Do the stones work in pairs? If so how could Young even connect to a stone that Rush took from the set they had on Destiny? if the matching pair is on Earth?
I don't think that screen cap someone posted i definitive proof because the thing the alien is holding looks too big to be a stone.
I think it is more likely that somehow the aliens found a way to disrupt the stones or their mind reading technology interfered as some have postulated. We have already seen the stone act screwy when the aliens are around twice. Maybe the proximity of the aliens screws with the stones.

You're right their use is pretty consistent.

As far as I know no one ever said the aliens were actually on Destiny, as in on the inside, and then they explored it. I don't thing this is right. Where do you get this?
actually season 5 - identity
