Line 99:
* In the Pegasus galaxy, the POO and enter keys seem to be the same, suggesting that the use of two separate keys for POO and enter became obsolete some time between the creation of the stargate system in the Milky Way and that in Pegasus. Perhaps related to the obsolescence of manual dial?
* Would make sense as far as dialing out of the galaxy goes. If you didn't have an 'enter' command, you'd connect as soon as you had seven, wouldn't you?
* (This idea was copied from the [[Stargate Universe (TV)/WMG|SGU WMG]]) Alternatively, the origin symbol is actually an "orientation" symbol, added to keep version 1.0 gates (such as those used by Destiny) upright when they connect. Since they spin their entire ring, they would have to have some mechanism keeping the cargo from coming through upside-down. The answer is the final symbol, which isn't actually part of the address, but sets the gate's orientation to a known value. Version 2.0 gates (such as those used in the Milky Way) didn't really need it, but by that point, people were so used to dialing an orientation symbol every time that the designers kept it around.
* It would actually make a lot more sense if the Point of Origin is actually the ''starting point of the dialing process''. It doesn't mean a "point of origin" in the sense of where you start your travel, but rather, it's the start and end point of the dialing process. The gate only dials when it has been returned to its Point of Origin. As such, the symbol used is entirely up to the creator of that specific stargate. The Milky Way stargates were one of the earlier versions, and were made to order - as such, each one had a symbol, possibly indicating who ''created'' that stargate. The newer Pegasus stargates were mass-created for quicker distribution to replace the older units, while the ones being placed by the ships that went before Destiny had to be standardised and produced automatically. So really, the unique symbol used on some Milky Way stargates might be considered to be a maker's mark.
 
Line 159:
 
Alternatively, the Furlings did not ascend, but were wiped out by the Goa'uld. Either way, the Goa'uld fractured time and again due to their developing god complex and lost most of their technology.
* In a universe with [[Psychic Powers]], [[Time Travel]] and [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence|non-corporeal beings]], how can you say "it doesn't work that way"? Their way is clearly not our way. Memory and mind in the Stargate Verse can transcend the physical.
* Actually, genetic memory DOES exist in our world...the Goa'uld've simply fount a way to break it and make it ridiculous.
 
Line 191:
 
== Ba'al has a symbiotic relationship with his host, much as the Tok'ra do. ==
This is why he's so much less of a [[Large Ham]] [[Card-Carrying Villain]] than your standard Goa'uld--their personalities have blended considerably over the 2000 years they've been together. (It also means that Vala is about to get a big shock at the end of ''[[Stargate: Continuum]]''--she's expecting to help support someone who like her was a passive observer of Goa'uld tyranny, when in reality she's going to end up having to deal with a man who was entirely complicit in it.)
* Ba'al's host may in fact be the genius of the operation, which is why Ba'al never tried swapping hosts, and why he went to the trouble of cloning his host as well as himself.
 
Line 199:
== Before his exile, Anubis was in the entertainment industry. ==
He wrote teleball dramas, mostly made for Goa'uld audiences. He was exiled after writing one too many cliffhanger season finales.
* Talk about getting [[Screwed Byby the Network]]
* now I finally understand what "[[So Bad Its Horrible|crimes]] [[Noodle Incident|unspeakable]] even to the Goa'uld" means
* His ultimate plot was not to conquer the galaxy but to continue his reign of cliffhanger finales. He succeeded in season 6 but barely failed in seasons 5,7, and 8, after which he was put on a bus to ensure that he never did it again, only to sneak past Oma to trick the Ori into doing it for season 9. The series was canceled after season 10 to insure he couldn't repeat that.
Line 333:
 
== The Furlings did not call themselves that ==
The Ancients, Asgard, and Nox came up with that name, on the basis that the Furlings' own name for themselves was way too pretentious. I mean, seriously, "[[Doctor Who (TV)|the Time Lords]]"?
** *looks at her SG/DW crossover* That is now my personal canon. And it explains why you never see the Furlings- they all got time-locked on Gallifrey after the Last Great Time War, except the Doctor and the Master.
*** Picturing the Doctor as a giant teddy bear: Awesome.
Line 362:
** 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.
 
== Sylar from ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' is the Father of the Shadows, and Peter Petrelli is the Father of the Vorlons of ''[[Babylon Five|Babylon 5]], after they encounter Dr. Jackson and/or O'Neil ==
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.
 
== Lt. Mitchell and Vala are [[Farscape (TV)|John Crichton and Aeryn Sun]] on a deep undercover mission. ==
They managed to find a wormhole after all, and it eventually brought them back to Earth. John is interested in wormholes and their possible uses (including as doomsday weapons), so naturally he and his wife will be all over the Stargate project. They have been assigned by a deep, secretive Terran organization to monitor the SG-1 operation. Sadly, Scorpius attempted to come through the gate once to warn them of some Scarran shenanigans, but he got accidentally shunted off to the Ewoks' planet, which is why he never made a crossover to SG-1.
* Fortunately, if Scorpius ended up on Endor ''after'' the final battle in ''Return of the Jedi'', then... oh joy, [[No Endor Holocaust|Endor Holocaust!]]
Line 376:
They changed the name to try to avoid the curse. But all in all, Sam's mother was lucky to live long enough to have two kids; and that was only because her husband, being in the military, was away a lot. Carter figured it out and joined the military for that reason. Her involvement with O'Neill was a sneaky way to fast-track to head of the team, but he stubbornly kept coming back to life.
 
== We may or may not be safe from the [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|Great Old Ones]]. ==
Facts: Carter blew up a star. The Ori and priors have done some nasty things, too. So, there is a possibility that the stars may ''never'' be right from now on. Of course, there is also the possibility that the Old Ones [[Xanatos Roulette|planned it all]] and ''needed'' that star destroyed to rise again...
 
Line 382:
What? They even say that the last one is named Daniel. That could explain why he never dies. He's not coming back in a new and creative way every time. He's resurrecting!
 
== Hammond was killed by [[Death Note (Manga)|Kira]] ==
He died of a heart attack.
* Um, what possible reason would Kira have for killing Hammond? He kills criminals (and people who try to stop him, when he can get away with it). Hammond definitely wasn't a criminal, and would have no reason to try to stop him since it's not his jurisdiction and he's got bigger problems than a [[Serial Killer]] (i.e. keeping the entire planet from being overrun by aliens).
Line 393:
One of Merlin's early efforts to combat the Ori was to create his own version of the Priors. These were the first human wizards. Upon discovering their ability to access the Wizard World, however, they lost interest in fighting the Ori, and Merlin instead set about building his superweapon.
== The wizards of ''[[Harry Potter]]'' are descended from Ancients stranded on Earth. ==
Think about it. Of all the pop culture references made in the [[Stargate Verse]], ''[[Harry Potter]]'' isn't mentioned once. In the [[PotterversePotter 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.)
** [[Harry Potter Comics]] may embrace this idea, with members of the SGC being involved with a Christmas Eve plot of Voldemort. First seen in [http://planescapecomic.com/harrypotter/100.html this comic]
Line 399:
* 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.
 
== The film ''[[Inception (Film)|Inception]]'' takes place in the Stargate universe ==
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.
