Stargate SG-1/WMG: Difference between revisions

** Apophis uses the Abydos DHD to dial Chulak. It is an outrageous plot device: he had the hand-dialer, which he previously used to dial the SGC's Stargate, and the only purpose was to allow Ferretti to learn Chulak's address by looking at the highlighted keys. What ever happened to the glyph order being significant? As for the movie, no DHDs were shown in it; for all we know, they may not even exist in the movie-only continuity.

** Even if the glyph order is significant, the SGC's dialing computer is more than capable of spam-dialing all 720 possible combinations of the glyphs until it found one that works. t SGC already knew ''which'' six symbols they needed, but didn't know the order for them (Ferretti saw the proper symbols glowing on the hand-dialer, but didn't see them actually entered). Six symbols chosen 6 at a time give 720 permutation.

** It was just a sketch, not a blueprint or a formal technical paper. Perhaps the original concept for the system was exactly like Daniel suggested. But when the system was being built, they hit the same issues that were mentioned here and decided to scrap the constellations idea, reverting to an address system more like a phone-number. Keeping the constellation symbols on the [[DH Ds]] would make sense, seeing as every race that used the system would have their own language. As was shown in an earlier episode, The Four Races used a joint language based on the table of elements for communication. Using constellations isn't a far reach...

*** Except that constellations are Earth-specific, so for anyone not from Earth they would simply be arbitrary pictograms.

 

Jenny eventually ended up being the Chevron Gal at the time of the first Abydos mission. She was fired after the project got mothballed and was not brought back when the program was restarted; hence the reason there are civilian technicians in the film and military technicians in the series.

** Time Travel in the Stargate Universe seems to work both ways; 1969 requires a [[Stable Time Loop]]. Perhaps you can trigger one if you work hard enough.

*** The time loop in "1969" is stable because the resolution of the loop does not prevent the creation of the loop. They don't tell past-Hammond not to let them go on the current mission. Even if time is mutable, since nothing critical to the loop changes when the loop is formed, it never goes away.

** Even more alternatively, [[Star Wars]] is a highly fictionalized version of a real war fought between different factions of Ancients in the Milky Way galaxy. It's referred to as being "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." because it's being told to the modern inhabitants of Atlantis. It exists as fiction because someone told the story to Lucas on one of their unintentional time-traveling trips.

 

At some point, Sylar will kill and "examine" either Daniel Jackson's or Jack O'Neill's mind, gain the Ancient knowledge, and ascend. Sylar decides to force his evolutionary theory upon the rest of the universe by creating the Shadows and "kicking over the anthills" to force the races to evolve. Peter, who at some point walked past the Stargate character that Sylar didn't kill, also ascends and tries to stop Sylar by creating the Vorlons.

 

Think about it. Of all the pop culture references made in the [[Stargate Verse]], ''[[Harry Potter]]'' isn't mentioned once. In the [[Potter Verse]], we have no idea where wizards came from; but it seems to be genetic, and the oldest era we know they existed in is... [[Ancient Egypt]]. Yes, several ''Stargate'' characters have the Ancient Gene and never went to Hogwarts, but they could be Squibs that were given to Muggle families by disgusted wizarding parents.

** Dumbledore's body was never shown after his death because he [[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence]]. After {{spoiler|Harry's temporary death}} in book 7, Dumbledore attempted to ascend him as well. (Compare the "celestial train station" scene in Deathly Hallows to what Daniel experienced prior to his ascension.)

** OOOO!!! Diagon Alley is out of phase!!!!!

* Wizards and Muggles could be the second evolution's version of the Ori and the Altereans, only with the the mystical ones outranking the science-y ones this time.

This one is actually pretty cut and dry, in Stargate: Atlantis they reveal that the military has reverse engineered alien shared dreaming technology, and military research is the only origin ever given for the shared dreaming tech in Inception. In ''Stargate [[SG-1]]'' they're even testing similar stuff with Tealc. There is nothing in ''Inception'' that would go against this.
