Line 11:
* "[[The Bible|Let there be light.]]"

* "[[

* "[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|We apologise for the inconvenience.]]"
Line 37:
* This is impossible anyway because Carter and O'Neill are former Tok'Ra hosts, and thus have naquadah in their blood, allowing them to detect Goa'uld.
* Actually, all of the above can be circumvented, due to Goa'uld [[Genetic Memory]] and the Stargate Verse's love of [[Lego Genetics]]. Khalek and Anna were both humans who were successfully cultivated with Goa'uld genetic memory, and the Harcesis possibility is still out there. A human implanted with Goa'uld genetic memory could fly under the radar of both MRIs and naquadah-sensitive individuals.
* Also, probably [[Jossed]] by Rush's taking his name out of the escape lottery. He ''might'' have known that {{spoiler|Destiny would survive the star}}, but couldn't be ''sure'', and Goa'uld [[
** But what if [[Xanatos Roulette|its all part of his plan?]]
** [[Flat What|Um, yes they do]]. Several have been shown willing to sacrifice themselves for others.
Line 81:
Second, at the ranges involved, there aren't enough nine-chevron addresses to have each correspond to a single seven-chevron address. This means that, if the nine-chevron address does represent a region of space, then it would have to be a ''large'' region of space - a significant portion of a large galaxy, if not the whole galaxy or even multiple galaxies. It is thus quite possible that the Destiny could explore for a long time (years, centuries, or even millennia, depending on how fast it is) without changing the nine-chevron address needed to access it from the Milky Way.
As for using Earth's Point of Origin instead of the planet that they were
** Another thought might be that to dial Destiny which is (mostly) a constantly moving target in a mostly unpredictable way, the gate network basically syncs up as a gestalt to find where it is similar to GPS satellites. You would have the Milky Way and the Pegasus galaxies acting as two giant points in space. These then would locate Destiny's bread crumb trail (acting as a third roughly estimated point in space) of activated gates and use that to call Destiny and let it know it stop for an incoming connection.
Line 97:
== The planet where they almost settled in "Light" [[Apocalypse How|suffered a recent ecological catastrophe]]. ==
Spectrographic analysis indicated Nitrogen, Oxygen, liquid water, and only trace amounts of Carbon Dioxide. Not only does that last one indicate a lack of plant life, as mentioned, it also indicates a lack of animal life necessary to produce
** Just as possibly it's a very young planet and life is just beginning to get a toehold there.
*** Doesn't really fly; as said above, you just can't keep free oxygen in an atmosphere; you need some process that releases the oxygen from the oxides it inevitably forms. That means life. On the other hand, you could presumably have a soil rich in carbon compounds that provided a plant with everything it needed (aside from light) for photosynthesis; said plant could also sequester excess carbon dioxide produced during respiration to keep the

Line 106:
** I don't really see the show using [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]] by making an AI 'quirky'. Though it would be a possibility to have some sort of AI. That said though I could see it being an interesting twist in that the AI is just as Insufferable as Rush - it's not letting him do things because it believes it knows better.
*** Well, Rush went into a little more detail in "Earth". Seems they're just lacking a master code to unlock the main systems. If the ship does have an advanced AI behind the scenes, it's probably not actively messing with them yet.
* This theory is given a boost by "Time"
** This doesn't necessarily mean intelligence. It could be sapient enough to figure things out without possessing any real sentience. A simplified example would be Google's search stuff; it's not capable of holding a conversation but it has just enough intelligence to know that typing 'tv torpes' really means 'tv tropes'.
* In "Pathogen", Rush says to Franklin (paraphrased) "If you're the ship, why aren't you helping".
Line 140:
** Except for the fact we see his dead body arrive in the same time period as the old kino, and then find his remains later.
** Rush was sick, but not at death's door when he went through the Stargate, but from the position and location of his body, it looks like he emerged from the gate, hit the ground, and died on the spot. This might point to him taking some sort of detour between the leaving the planet and the Kino finding his body.
** He wasn't at Death's Door, no. But remember how everyone else affected first showed signs? Oh, right, ''collapsing right where they were without warning''. And then they stayed collapsed for several hours before finally actually dying. He may not have died right then and there, he probably jumped through, took a couple steps, then fell over from the disease
Alternatively, the way he jumped, he slipped and broke his neck on the way through. Or he popped through during the night and those bug things got him.
** Or maybe the (old model) gate couldn't properly handle a solar flare, and there was some sort of other malfunction that caused him to drop dead after walking through. They did say it looked like the gate was overloaded and malfunctioning before realising it was a solar flare, after all…
* Maybe an alternate Dr. Rush will be a Mr. Francis Begbie, who'll be piss-drunk and try to stab the first person he sees.
Line 240 ⟶ 242:
*** See the Just Bugs Me page. Modern Stargates can hit anywhere in the galaxy. These models, it would seem, can barely reach outside a solar system. [[Word of God]] is that they do not have the kind of range a Milky Way gate does.
**** It's also worth pointing out that we have no idea what their range is, given that the only way to dial them is apparently to and from Destiny, which sets it up pretty much automatically. It's theoretically possible they have just as a long of a range as other 'Gates, but Destiny only connects to near by ones.
*** The statement about the ''Destiny'' traveling between galaxies is [[Jossed]] by [
== The ''Destiny'' isn't actually heading out of the galaxy at the end of "Lost." ==
Line 264 ⟶ 266:
* They could have been a simple organic type artificial lifeform that evolved to be sentient. Let's face it the Ancients while brilliant did some questionable things. Created replicators in the Pegusus galaxy, created a weapon to defeat the Ori but decided not to leaving billions to be killed and or enslaved by the Ori.
== ''Destiny'' is a refitted [[Warhammer
It has a scythe/crescent shape and a pyramid-like structure at the end; very reminiscent of Necron warships.
Line 636 ⟶ 638:
Not long after Eli puts everyone into stasis, Destiny fails and Eli can't fix it. He dies. Everyone else stays in stasis forever, lost to the stars.
