    2. Teal’c made a mark on the Bedrosian shuttle with his weapon, but it is not there when they are landing later.

    Is that Nefertum's Jaffa symbol on the Bedrosian shuttles and uniforms? As it really looks like a flower, so if he was the Blue Lotus / Water Lily, then the symbol could be a reference to him.


    Other interesting Goa'uld fact that Sahmet's name was mentioned in this episode :

    DANIEL

    (as the sparks fly)
    Ah!

    RIGAR
    My people began on Bedrosia as did yours. We were all created by Nefertum.

    DANIEL
    Nefertum. Son of Sakhmet, blue lotus blossom. That's who you believe created you?

    RIGAR
    Yes.

    DANIEL
    Well he must have been a Goa'uld.

    RIGAR
    A what?

    DANIEL
    An alien. He must have transported your people through the Stargate…ah!

    I couldn't remember the alien "bats" in this episode. Cool.

    It would have been interesting to Nyan (Richard Ian Cox) later. It felt like the writers were planning with him for the future, but he has never showed up again in SG-1. He played a different role in SG:A - The Defiant One as Dr. Brendan Call.

    The Bedrosian weapons look familiar. Have they used them for the Wraith as well?

      No, but they do show up again, later somewhere... just can't remember where or if they really do.

        We have to find it. I am pretty sure that I have seen those weapons in Wraith hands in a later Atlantis season.

          WAIT... yes, they do... I just remember that I have an action figure of a Wraith and he's holding the weapon you speak of.

          Found an image!

            I am pretty sure it was in season 3-4-5. Sheppard was stunned from behind on a Hive ship by an order from the local Queen, then the Wraith was showed in a closeup with this "Bedrosian" weapon. Hmmm... We will find out later.

                  Spoiler:
                  I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

                    Thank you, thank you. You can send the flowers and chocolate to my dressing room. I knew that I have seen these props later in SG:A, so I simply googled "Wraith weapon" and then I have found the right pictures. I am so proud of myself.

                    The suits could be explained as Vanir exoskeletons, which were left behind when the visited the Youknowwhich ship.

                      I remember there being hints of an intended story connection when it was first revealed that the suits would be showing up in SGU, but they were also really expensive and time consuming to make, so I'm sure the primary motivating factor for including them was to not let them go to waste. Sly behind the scenes hints at cannonical explanations for things like this are common, but don't usually play out.

And, were you involved with those great suits worn by the Pegasus Asgard, which I believe later re-appeared as Ancient EVA suits on the Destiny?”


                      MN: Yes, I was involved with those suits. It was actually one of the best building experiences, since it took 100% from everyone for weeks to do, and really bonded the team. I have never felt more accomplished than seeing those go out the door. My wife tells me I have to mention that I missed our anniversary one year for these suits, due to working 14 hours that day. But they look so cool!

                      Ian Z. also writes: “So, someone on a forum I visit noticed that the suits from the “Lost Tribe” Asgard, and then Destiny’s Ancient suits are identical except for the helmet. (side by side picshttp://forums.stargateworlds.com/showthread.php?t=35159 )

                      1. Is this just because the suits were expensive and it allowed for a good time to reuse them? Or are we to assume this is because of the alliance? OR will the Asgard come into play at some point in SGU?

                      Answers: 1. Yes, no, and maybe.

                      Out of the all the cost saving reused props, the idea that they're connected is still a stretch for obvious reasons but it actually also makes the most sense since we all assumed the Pegasus Asgard had been raiding Ancient technology away.

                            This was a really great episode imo from the premise perspective. However, there were some glaring flaws -
                            1. the obvious religious nut job commander acted very errantly. A better commander would have realized that not sending them back raises too many questions and leaks as more of the military and others will know about them. How would you explain the MALP tech? the Gate lighting up? the SG1's DNA not matching? the grenades/guns? the naquadah portable generator? etc. too many leaks. Better option is to send them back along with everything and take the gate back to their military hq and conduct experiments like SG1 secretly. Or bury it so no one knows

                            2. SG1 left too many things behind and they have no self-destruct on anything which is ridiculous. They left a Naquadah generator behind, a MALP, their weapons, grenades and their GDO! These guys are obviously at near or just higher than Earth level advancement so they will figure all these tech out easily and needlessly.

                            3. They took Nyan back against his will really speaking. Hope he had no family or wife or girlfriend behind or kids or whatever. Shocking to just have his whole life uprooted and him smiling and cheerful. Jack O'Neill an episode or two ago was devastated with the planet that got hit by the asteroids burying the gate and disconsolate for a while and went back. Nyan would be too. Home is home after all.

                            Many of these things in SG1 are downright shoddy bad writing and character and plot development. The premise and story are excellent but the execution was quite flawed in SG1. Still it all worked because of the cast and premise. SG1 are always right and everyone else is made to look like an idiot to elevate SG1. That part I thought could've been done better and where SG:U nailed it perfectly with imperfect human cast.

                            Anyways, this episode was fun and worthy of speculation and I would rate it a 3/4
