Check my attachment cuz I still framed Franklin in the chair. It does look like it can interface with the helmet as its metalic like bolts and it also looked as if it drilled somewhat past the surface of his skin but not into the skull, maybe deep enough to directly effect the receptors in the brain.

Well it's obvious that the chair implanted devices under his skull, in order to monitor his brain waves -> in order to be in control of the ship, using a neural interface link, wherever you are. But that really isn't SciFi, because we *humans* are already doing that. (mind controlled bionic arms, mind controlled computers... But they all require an implant in the skull.)

Im almost certain those drills are not for decoration. Being that close to a person's head i prefer to think they are designed to come into contact with the skull either to implant a device(s) or connect with the device(s).
His seizures would have caused them to go deeper as he was jittering around everywhere, the ancients could have managed the information. also his heart must have been gogin like crazy, so that just = more blood.

Originally posted by Commander Zelix View PostSure. In fact it was not a control or database chair but a sadistic chair conceived to procure pain to the Ancients sitting on it. Some people like those. It was known by the Ancient as the "rec room". After the blood spilled out, they would just sit calmly in a corner waiting to regenerate.

It's all predictable, but it's more fun when you try not to think about it.

Originally posted by StargateBuilder View PostThe “repository chair” did not seem to fit the Ancients style of technology at all. The interface process seems a lot more bloody and damaging than what I expected it to be. It seemed to be drilling into the skull to access the brain tissue. I originally thought that the device would leave a small puncture (the same way the Goa’uld memory recall device does), instead it left too big holes in the side of the “repository chair” users head.
Someone posted a still image earlier. You can see pretty clearly that they are applying pressure to the head, but you don't actually see anything going into the head. If it was to be assumed that something was actually in his head, then they would have shown some needles being retracted or a longer part inside the head. When the bolts were retracted, you could see no needle and the bolt's contact with the head was cut quickly (probably a half of a turn of the bolt). The damage and blood were just from his jittering in the chair. Just because there's blood doesn't mean there's actual holes in his head. I don't think the Ancient would build something that diabolical.
I don't even understand their need for a machine like this at all. I would have expected the Ancients to be a race that prefers to share knowledge through teaching. Either teaching their young or other races. Unless only a few were chosen to know all there is to know, and the rest remained un- or less educated.

Like some sort of head instrument with sockets that the nodes are supposed to plug into. It's more likely though that they are there to stabilize the head.

Originally posted by jsonitsac View PostIt doesn't necessarily have to be diabolical. It maybe that under proper supervision a person can sit in the chair and come away fairly unharmed. There were some control panels nearby so a technician, who knows what he or she is doing, would be able to control the information downloaded into the mind at minimal damage and pain. Franklin just sat down in it seemingly willy-nilly, in some ways its like self administering electro-convulsive therapy (a safe and effective means of treating some mental disorders, especially when administered by a specialist and under anesthesia).
